Civil Defense Chief Meets Local Board

Col. Alexander, Chief of Civil Defense for Alaska, met with the local committee d Mayor Eugene Lanier in a special meet ing Sunday night to discuss the program in Seward.
 He told the committee that un- like the program in the States where it is financed by the indi- vidual state, there has been no provision made in Alaska for financing Civil Defense. It re- mains, therefore, the problem of each community to do what it can without either Federal or Territorial aid on expenses.
 "The main thing" he said, lis to prepare as much as possible to fight fires, prevent footing, and alleviate suffering after a raid"
 ARR Takes Responsibility
 The Alaska Railroad has been given the responsibility of stor- ing food and medicines and of evacuation of communities when necessary. Col. Johnson has al- ready secured and is stockpiling emergency rations in key spots along the railbelt to be moved in when needed.
 Col. Alexander agreed that practice alerts and blackouts are wise precaution. There is no reason for people to be alarmed by such practice" he said, "it is no different than fire drills or insurance"
 He feels that a possible inva- sion would probably not be made through Seward, but a strike would be made against the large air fields. There might be some possibility of nuisance raids or strafing, but our chief difficulty would be isolation.
 Every house should observe the usual precautions against fires, and the spread of fires by keeping attics clear of trash, yards clean, eliminate fire dan. ger by stopping the storage ot gasoline drums in yards, and other safety measures.

MRS. BE RESUMES POSITION AS PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE

Mrs. LaPreal Bic ,as been appointed Public Health Nurse for Seward. She began her work September 1. Mrs. Bic has served Seward before in this capacity, but resigned last December "just to live at home and get ac- quainted with my baby" she said.
 After her resignation, Mrs. Gertrude Jurgeleit served in the position from January 1 to June 1 of this year. Since Mrs. Jur- geleit's transfer, Seward has been without the services of a Public Health Nurse.
 Owing to the scarcity of quail fled Public Health Nurses in Alaska, Mrs. Bic consented to resume her position rather than leave the community without assistance any longer.

Lowell Canyon Hydro Line W ashed Out

Heavy flood waters rushing down Low we'll Canyon have washed out the trestling which supports the hydraulic power line of the Alaska Telephone Engineering Corporation. It will be repaired as soon as the water subsidies enough to allow work men to approach the break. In the meantime there is no inter- ruption in service.
 The unusually heavy rams and wind of the southeaster which has pelted Seward this past week have caused a rise in the creek which is pouring a rushing, roaring torrent of water and debris through the tunnel which can be heard for several blocks in the down town area. The cannery road and bridge are washed out com pletely.
 A pickup truck belonging to the canery was lost in the water when the driver attempted to ford the stream and, not aware that the bridge was gone, drove into the washout. By noon yes terday all that was visible of the truck was about foot of the top of the cab.
 Small boats overdue in Sew ard are supposed to be holed up in safe harbors out of the storm.
 A phone cable serving Sew ard General Hospital and other lines in that area was blown down by the storm. An emer- gency line is being run into the section as rapidly as possi- ble so as to open up service to the hospital. Workmen are being flown in to repair the cable.
 No serious damage has been reported as yet but some wash outs on the highway are to be expected if the storm does not abate soon. .*

Seek Identity Of Mystery Camper

MT. Cushman of Portage re- ported to the highway patrol man on Sept. 8 that two weeks previously a shelter tent had been pitched near the south end of the second highway bridge south of Reds Saloon and Trad ing Co. at Portage, and that it is still there unattended. No one in the vicinity has seen anyone near the camp.
 Patrolmen Puckett and Kel- log went to the scene immedi- ately after receiving the report and found camping outfit stored in the tent. The stored items consisted of form fitting sleeping bag, one tan ski cap, flour, rolled oats, cocoa, salt, powdered milk, condiments and matches.
 At the entrance to the tent were found two cartons that had contained .22 shells. The men were unable to find where a fire had been built and the sleeping bag did not appear to have been used at the site. No means of identifying the owner were dis. covered.
 Anyone knowing the where. abouts of the owner, or informa ton leading to Identification, is requested to communicate with the Marshall's office, highway patrol or city police.

Five Narrowly Escape Death ln Accident

Art Loring and family and two passengers from Anchorage, John J. Vandike and Jack V. Jacobson, escaped death at Mile 28 on the Seward Hope High way, by what Highway Patrol men describe as miracle" when soft shoulder gave way from under the outer wheels of the pickup truck which Mr. Loring was driving, allowing it to leave the road and roll completely over MT. Jacobson and MT. Vandike, who were rid ing in the rear. Large rocks in the path of the rolling vehicle, the size of mans body, pre- vented more serious injuries.
 The two accident victims were taken to the Seward General Hospital for medical attention. and it was found that Mir. Jacob son was suffering from a broken right arm and severe lacerations of the face, and that MT Van dike was suffering facial lacera- tions and bruises. None of the Lorine family were hurt other than for minor bruises.
 Pulling out too far on soft shoulder to make passing room for an approaching vehicle was the direct cause of the accident, Loring said.
 Motorists are urged to use every precaution when passing vehicles at this time of year be- cause the shoulders are very soft and the roads narrow. If you see that there isn't room enough to pass an approaching vehicle, stop, and if necessary back up to a point where there is room enough to pass safely, rather than chance having an accident.
 Drivers should also use every precaution when passing trucks and buses, as these vehicles are heavy and cannot pull too far out on the shoulder because o1 their weight and by doing sc would endanger life and prop erty.

Schoo! Lunch Program Gefs Underway

The first day of the hot lunch program in the Seward school went off smoothly and without a hitch, according to Mrs. B Davis, president of the P-TA lunch committee.
 Lunches were served to 1UY pupils and teachers. A light menu was selected for the first day with buttered corn as the one hot dish. Peanut butter sandwiches, carrot sticks, hot chocolate and canned peaches completed the m u, which seemed to satisfy both the appe- tites and the taste of children and teachers.
 There was no disorder or mis- behavior, according to Mrs. Davis, and the committee was very pleased to see every plate returned empty.
 Twenty volunteers are needed to operate the project through the year By having this number on the list, every mother will be asked to serve only four hours in two weeks, thus reliev- ing the burden for everyone.
 Women who are willing and able to serve are asked to con- tact Mrs. Helen Gerwer, Madi- son 72, or Mrs. Davis, Polk 113, immediately, giving the day of the week which is most con venient for them to help with the lunches.
 If enough help is not volun- teered it will be necessary to

Do not be mislead by the sud-
den furry of Westerns around
own into thinking that the Capitol
also has one in 1.-THE Furies." It
is true that "The Furies" is the
name of a ranch as well as of
a motion picture and that people
do a lot of riding and at one
point round up 10000 head of
cattle. But this is no run-of the
range Western. This is one of
those colossal jobs which come
only from novels so full of raw
passion and stark melodrama and
wild improbability that they
weigh nine pounds.
Stupendous? Why, it's more
than that. It's stupefying!
An impressive list of people have
been concerned with producing
''The Furies." The cast, headed
by Barbara Stanwyck, Wendell
Corey and the late Walter Huston,
includes such trustworthy players
as Judith Anderson, Beulah Bondi.
Blanche Yurka, Gilbert Roland,
Thomas Gomez, Wallace Ford,
Albert Decker, Louis Jean Heydt

of them does we'll and Producer
Hall Wallis can be satisfied that

considerable expenditure for tall

He probably got his moneys
worth out of Director Anthony
Mann, too. since no one could have
done much else with the fam
boyant story. adapted by Charles
Schnee from Niven Busch novel.
Since a large part of "The
Furies" is photographed either in
the dark or through a well-smoked
glass-Mr. Mann has the widest
admiration since Eisenstein for
figures silhouetted against the sky
it is not always clear exactly
what is going on. This much is:

western ranch empire which is

fStanwyck is a real rip-snorter, too
and she wants to inherit the ranch
from her adoring father. She is
set to do this until a widow (Miss
Anderson) wins pops affection.
The combination of this blow
and the hanging by her father oil
her childhood chum drives Miss
