Big Game For Seward Tonite As Scheduled

Verification has been received that Palmer will arrive via the ARR this evening for a one night stand against the Sea Hawks. The Sea Hawks and the Palmer Moose will meet tonight, Friday, the 18th, at the school gym. The preliminary between the Frosh and Sophomores, which promises to be spirited, will begin at 7:30.
 Palmer has named Feb. 3 for second game at Seward. The reason why Palmer prefers one-night stands is that playing two games on the same trip means a two or three day lay over, the first train back being not until Tuesday. By playing only one game, the team can arrive Friday evening and re- turn the next morning.
 Seating has been improved in the school gym. Two com plete rows of seats have been provided around the balcony, the back row being benches in order to not crowd. The playing court is lined with the new folding chairs. The stage is pro- vided with seats for those who prefer an end zone view

Following is the complete text of a letter under the date of January II, 1850, written by Rev. Paul Irwin to The Rev. P. Gordon Gould, Superintendent, Alaska Mission Conference. This is Rev. Irwin's report on his re- cent trip to New York as the representative of the City of Seward:
 II will in this letter try to summarize the high points of my trip to Buck Hill Falls but not go into meaningless details.
 First of all let me say that it was a very wonderful privilege to get to represent Seward in the cause of the proposed college for Alaska and. to have the oppor- tunity of meeting the many fine people I did.
 Everything seemed to click and it seemed that I was at the right place at the right time all through the time 1 was gone. De- tails would be too lengthy but it seemed as if the whole trip were meant to be. On two diff ferent trains I got to have long visits with two different Bishops. At the hotel in Philadelphia I ate breakfast and visited later with other Bishops who, remark ably, remembered my name and are deeply interested in the pro- posed school. In all I met and talked with eight Methodist Bishops: Werner. Raines, OK nam, Reed, Flint, AIcGhee, Ken nedy, and Lowe: two Epispocal Bishops: Bentley and Welles: a number of District Superintend- ents, various secretaries, had coffee with Admiral Salisbury, Chief of Navy Chaplains in his office in Washington: met and talked with the Chief of Army Chaplains, and many others too numerous to mention. While in Admiral Salisbury's office one of tn commanders there checked the Navy Department records and discovered that I am the only Naval Reserve Chap lain in the Territory of Alaska. He also asked me if I would like

Festival To Be Held February
 4th, 9th & 9th

The mid-winter Kenai Penin- sula get-together in Seward is set for the first weekend in February, beginning on Friday, Feb. 3rd, ending Sunday noon, Feb. 5th.
 At mee ting Wednesday night, final plans were complet- ed and chairmen appointed to carry through the various events scheduled to make the three day festival a time of contin- uous entertainment, for the out of-toWn guests and for Seward ties. Committees and program hours of events will be an- nounced next week. Members of the promotion committee will visit Homer, Kenai and other communities next week to ar range for the transportation and contest entries from those villages.
 Free movies, hobby show, square dance contest, talent show, bowling exhibition, win ter games and races, get ac- quainted afternoon tea, big pub- lie dance, and possibly basket ball game are on the schedule.
 The greatest problem is to determine how much lodging must be provided. The housing committee is asking that all Sewardites who have friends in the kenai Peninsula make an effort to invite those friends into their homes for the two nights, thus relieving the congestion in hotels.
 Sewardites should be think ing of what they have to ex- hibit in the hobby show, which will take on something of the nature of county fair. Many people have only one item, sucn as a single piece of antique fur nlture, or a family heirloom, which can be displayed with others in the same category.
 Stamp collections, dolls, fancy work, arts and crafts, photo graphy, buttons, picture post cards, salt and pepper shakers, the list is infinite of things that people collect. It is thought that h m e S d s might have canned goods, smoked and pre- served fish and foods, furs, fur niture, etc, that would be in- teresting exhibits.
 Tuesdays paper and station KIBH will announce the names of chairmen in charge of en- tries.
 Entries for name are still coming in and will be judged soon.

were able to obtain several hundred

Fourth of July Greek. Although the
intention was to catch fingerlings,

tured, a few as big as 16 inches long.
The fish will be planted in AUX
and Peterson Lakes and few will
be kept in holding pen for study.

next spring under more favorable
conditions" O'Connor said. About
$4,000 had been allocated by the
