Korean Situation At A Glance ---
Thursday. October l9. 1850
(By The Associated PreSS)

By The Associated Press)
 Most of Pyongyang, communist capital of North Korea, was in the hands of United Nations forces to- day. Red Premier Kim Il Sung and members Of his government have fled to the north.
 Tank-led units of the U. s. First Cavalry Division and the South Korean Republics First Division joined up near the heart of the city. Communists surrendered by the thousands. The capital appear ed deserted by it's 100000 inhab- itantS.
 (P) correspondent Don White head said it was an easy contest. Only a few snipers and diehard communists were attempting to stop the inexGrable advance of the Allies.
 The communists had not plan ned it this way. Banners strung across the streets called on the people to defend this city to the last" But there was no real de- fenSe.
 Pyongyang civilians told a South Korean army spokesman that Premier Kim and his com munist government had flown the coop. They were said to have fled to Huichon, 80 miles to the north. Escape roads northward were jammed. But in Tokyo, intelli- gence officers said there is no in- dication the Korean Reds are planning an organized defense line north of Pyongyang. There seemed little chance of further large-scale enemy resist ance. So speedy was the Allied advance that the Reds overall de- fense plan seemed to have been shattered. Allied commanders said the comparative ease with which the capital was captured might indicate a change in the war that started June 25 when the North Koreans invaded South Korea in force. The war from now on, they said, might be in the nature of scattered guerrilla ac- tions.
 While U. N. forces chalked up this victory, diplomats at Lake Success were attempting to work out system of peace patrols in a new anti-aggression pro g r m sponsored by the United States and six other nations. The spon- sors met behind closed doors to discuss Russia's demand to serve on the patrols.
 The plan, which puts teeth in the U. N. efforts to maintain peace is supported by Britain, Canada, France, Turkey, the Philippines and Uruguay, besides its chief sponsor the United States. Soviet foreign minister Andrei Y. Vishin- sky has demanded that the IA nation peace patrol include repre- sentatives of the five big powers.
 In this list he included com- munist China as well as the Sov- jet Union, the United States, Bri-

wife was also currently insured at
her death. If the worker was only
currently insured at death. no ben
efits are provided for survivors at
age 65 but any of the other bene-
fits may be paid.
A lump-sum death benefit is
paid if the worker died either fully
or currently insured.
Q. How does a worker become
fully insured?
A. He must have six quarters of
coverage in every case and also
either one quarter of coverage for
each two calendar quarters after
January 1, 1851; or one quarter of
coverage for each two calendar
quarters after he became 21 years
old; or 40 quarters of coverage.
Q. How does a worker become
currently insured?
A. A worker is currently insured
if he had at least six quarters of
coverage within the three years
just before his death or just be-
fore his entitlement to old-age in
surance benefits.

tinue to work for that same en-
ployer for at least go days on a
full-time basis during ensuing
quarters to receive coverage."
Perhaps the largest group that
will receive coverage is the self
employed. This group includes sole
owners or partners in business,
and those who work for themselves

People of Seward are still shuddering over the fire at the Sanatorium. Not of what actu- ally did happen, which was bad enough, but at what could have been. This old type army hos pital building, of the usual fir m e construction, finished with celotex or some similar dry material, went up like pa per- If there had been wind blowing, if the ground was bare instead of with the foot or more of snow lying under the trees, if there had been any lack of water supply, or efficient fire fighters and equipment had not been immediately available; (there are any number of possi bilities of tragedy, of what could have been), then the country would have been shocked by another great hospital catas trophe.
 This is one of the strongest arguments for safer hospital buildings. We can look around us in any part of Alaska and see the possibility of tragic fire damage. Sewardites are more fire conscious as group than any other community l have ever seen. And we need to be. The greater part of the city is of erry-b ui It construction, rooms added here and there to existing cabins, which at their beginning were only shacks, the only thought being for shelter of some kind, and little if any consideration for safety.
 Most of us have to build and add on as precarious financing permits. High cost of materials and labor have retarded correct and safe building operations in the past. Consequently our town, and many other territorial com munities have helter-skelter, rundown look to the visitors from Outside, and a forbidding appearance to the prospective settler.
 Times are changing, however Better times seem to be in the near future for Seward. FILA assistance is available with all the restrictions and specified tions demanded by that agency. One hears considerable com plaint about those specifications, but if you will examine them closely, it can be readily seen that they are for the builders own good. Proper insulation, safe construction, fire proof electric wiring, correct plumb ing, all these restrictions are enforced for the safety and eco nomy of the tenants of the buil- ding Folks grumble because they have figured out cheaper way to build, but the cheapest is not always the best.
 It seems to me that now is the time to formulate a set of building codes to control the future home building in Sew ard. Members of the building trades, unions and contractors should formulate codes applying
Seward seaport record., 1950-03-31

to each branch of construction, check with existing n o n l codes, then submit their find ings to the council for consider ation and passage into law. In this way, we can have a better looking town growing up around us, a more sound economic and tax structure, as we'll as a safer city in which to live and raise our children. Why not think about it and plan for the future?

money and the trainers time.
Dogs are effected by mob psy-
chology. Your dog will do things
when accompanied by a group of
dogs which he himself wouldn't
have the desire or the courage
to do alone.
Dogs are rather social animals.
They like to congregate together
and will travel around the neigh
borhood in group. It is inter-
esting to watch how one or two
dogs of the crowd will establish
themselves as leaders. Another
day, when the dog gang congre-
gates the same leaders will again
come to the front. Notice the ac-
tons of your dog when he is with
other dogs. You will find he acts
lot bolder and is more mischiev-
Gus.
Although in the summer dogs
often suffer from a dry, itching
skin. investigation might not re-
veal any evidence If irritation or
swelling. Such a condition is not
serious and I have found that it
can be quickly cured by rubbing
a little olive oil well into the skin
every day or SO.
Another top for dog owners
whose pets suffer from minor
skin ailments from time to time
in hot weather is to put a few
tablespoonfuls of common baking
soda in the water when you wash
the dog.

haven't actually seen one as
yet but I understand there is a
hearing device on the market to
aid partially deaf dogs. I am told
that it is built on the bone con-
duction principle, of a type SINH
lar to those worn by humans.
In many homes throughout the
country parents are readying
their children for the return to
schools and colleges. In a large
number of homes, dog owners, too,
are making plans for their canine
pets to go away to school.
Every year there are more col
lees" where owners may send
pr9oies to receive the highest
kinds of canine education. You
have first-rate pup, but you have
net the time, the knack or the
patience to train him into what
you want him to be. So you send
him to one of the colleges" or
dog training schools.
Apart from obedience, house
manners and watchdog prowess,
he is taught to do certain stunts
to make him highly educated. Per-
haps you want him broken for
hunting. Some Of these colleges
turn out the kind Of dog you ask
for. They do their work thoroughly
and well.
But there's is a catch to it. This
is the catch: Suppose you had re-
ceived a good grammar school edu-
cation. many years ago, and then
had never again read or written
a word, or worked out a sum in
mathematics. You would have
forgotten, gradually, almost every
thing you had learned.
It is the same with your dog
Unles you are careful to keep up
his education after you get him
home, you have wasted your
