To Visit Seward

Anchorage Chapter Order of
Eastern Star will pay a visit
to the Seward Chapter June %
to 25th.
Mrs. Margaret Hines, Worthy
Matron, Mr.. Joe Edwards, Wor-
thy Patron, and at least 80
members will arrive Friday

done in the costume of the era.
1t was witnessed by the Seward
members who visited the An
chorage Chapter last September,
and was so beautifully done,
that Mrs Arreta Howell, Wor-
thy Matron, requested the An
chorage Chapter to present the
pageantry for the benefit of the
rest of Seward Chapter.
The guests will leave by spe-
cial train sometime Sunday,
June 25.

Training Class
Planned For
Fire Dept.

The Seward Volunteer Fire
Department is presently insti-
eating training program for it's
members. But while taking up
their own needs, it was found
that the public too was showing
some shortcomings. 1t is real
ICED by all that everyone wants
to run to a fire. But experience
shows the trend in this city
is non-firemen as we'll as the
firemen themselves often at
tempt to arrive at the fire ahead
of and without consideration for
the fire fighting equipment that
is most necessary at the scene.
1t is requested that all citi-
zens observe precaution at the
time of a fire alert. When the
fire truck siren is heard, all
civilian traffic should stop in
order to let the fire truck have
the right of way. Remember
that your car may be causing
considerable dust that does not
allow vision for the truck driver
10 safely pass unless you are
going very 81 WHY. Vehicles
other than those officially re-
quired at the scene of a fire
should not park within one
block of the fire. Firemen's
vehicles will soon be equipped
with reflector type plates en-
abling others to recognize those
cars with deserved right of way.
This, of course, does not mean
firemen will unnecessarily speed
or overlook traffic regulations.
The loss of one building is GER
tainly not worth a life.
Seward fire fighters don't in
tend to stop others from attend
ing a fire After all, it might
be your own home. Too, you
may be able to carry a fireman
to the fire yourself. And by
the way, any fireman has the
right to wave down a passing
vehicle for the purpose of at
tending a fire. And when you
get there, don't run over a fire
hose, whether it is under pres
sure or not.

Shares Present
Problem On
Peninsula

1T is strictly illegal to leave
any trap set and fur after the
close of the trapping season.
Carlos Carson, Fish and Wildlife
agent, reported yesterday, "and
yet we find many traps out un-
thrown and some containing de-
cayed meat.
Zone mink trap was found to
contain a very small baby black
bear, caught by hind foot. The
baby bear, which was found by
George Turnbull who was on
fishing trip, was still alive but
was in an emaciated condition.
Turnbull fed the bear fig bars,
which it ate ravenously. He later
turned the little fellow over to
Wayne Racine of Moose Pass.
another cow moose was
found Sunday near the main
trail on the west bank of the
Trail River It's nose had been
caught in a snare which had
been left unprotected 1t had
been dead about two months"
Mr.. Carson continued.
This is the 18th moose which
has been found dead, it's head
caught in a snare, since Septem-
Der on the Kena Peninsula
IF this continues, we are 60
ing to ask that snares be out
lawed here. Those who have per-
mits and set wolf snares can
place log or bar above the
l! snare in such a way that moose
will avoid it, since moose will
rarely duck under any obstruc-
ton they can see but will go
around or over it instead.
"Mr. Alex Petrovich of Nap
town at Moose River also reports
that his dogs have been caught
| in snares three times within the
past three weeks These snares
still set and INTENDED, are il
legal. The owners of trap lines
who leave set trap and snares
are subject to legal prosecution, y
the Fish and Wildlife representa-
tive stated.

MINING LANDS CASE
DISMISSED IN
COMMISSIONERS COURT

The suit of Charles c.. Hub
bard to have Patrick GWin evict-
ed from property on the Kenai
River was dismissed by Acting
U. S. Commissioner Anna B.
Southland in Commissioner S
Court yesterday on the grounds
that the case comes too close to
involving matters of title on
public or real property and that
this court has no jurisdiction
over such cases.
Hubbard contends that Gwin
settled on his property, the Ava
Mining Claim, under conditions
of an agreement signed by both
men and subsequently violated
the agreement by erecting per-
manent buildings and refused
to vacate the property when
served with eviction notices.
After hearing the witnesses
for the plaintiff, Charles C.
Hubbard himself, Mrs. Hubbard,
and Mr.. Baker, witness to the
signing of the agreement, the
court concurred with the re-
quest by the attorney for Patrick
GWin that the case be dismissed
since it involves matters more
properly under the jurisdiction
of the U. S. District Court.

glowing in their mechanical mother. Week-old chicks are in the four-globe stage. TWo-Week old babies need two light globes, and adolescent chicks of more than two weeks get by with one light globe until they leave their brooder at the age of five weeks.
 While they're in the baby class, the chicks are fed carefully bal anced diet of alfalfa meal en- riched with carotene, Vitamin A. Vitamin D and animal protein, and other chick nutritional aids, and fish meal.
 When the potential chicken din- ners reach the age of five weeks. they graduate into an adjacent room in the Brooks barn loft. where they spend their teen-age days in preparation for killing room size. Their one occupation is to eat much and long, and to get to the accepted two-pound fryer stage as rapidly as possible. The chickens get corn in their last weeks in this room.
 The killing room, where chick ems are dressed for market, is as modern as any in Alaska. After chickens are killed, they're dipped in kettles of steaming water and turned over to the mechanical picker. There soft rubber fingers on whirling drum, powered by electricity, strip the bird bare in an estimated 90 seconds. Even the powerful wing feathers are plucked by the machine, which works equally as well on pin feathers.
 The man who operates the pick CT has only a stray quill or two to remove before he losses the chicken into a bath of ice water (360 in temperature) to await the dresser. The picker is newly in- stalled on the Cacklebird Farm and workers there hailed its ar rival with relief. The first 36 chickens picked and dressed for market took the Brooks an esti- mated 16 hours to prepare. Re gently the mechanical picker stripped 100 birds in just two hours and Is minutes.

bills, the board decided to post list of names of these individ- uals at the Valley Hospital. All persons whose names appear on this list will be refused both hos pitalization and x-ray treatment, until payment is made.
 MT. Newcomb said the sugges- ton had been made that the hos pital take steps to garnishee the wages of permanently y-employed residents who have ignored their hospital bills. The board was un- willing to take such drastic ac- ton yet, but is considering the matter for future use, if all other plans fail.
 MT. NeWcomb voiced a final plea to those who owe money at the Valley Hospital. If you will only come in and pay, or make ar engagements to pay, even a small amount each month" he said. then the hospital can pay it's own debts. This is a community hospital. The staff and the hospi- tai board desires to serve the community to the best of it's abil- ity, but it is impossible to do so without funds"

Brooks can supply and is de- manding more. He hasn't been able to extend his market to the Valley as he'd like to, simply be- cause the demand exceeds the supply.
 But meat isn't the only concern of poultryman Brooks-he has eggs and flyers both in one bas- ket. His laying flocks are supply ing eggs for the Anchorage mar ket, too.
 The 300 layers, mostly White Leghorns, are housed in batteries in the Brooks barn. They work a 13-hour day, with no overtime and no days off. The batteries are narrow wire cages, construct ed with sloping floors so that a new-laid egg rolls into gutter at the front of the cage.
 Hens grow to unusual size on the rich diet they're given to get top egg production per hen. The Leghorns, which usually average four to five pounds in size, grow to seven pounds weight in the Brooks battery. Heavyweight of %the flock scales almost nine pounds, MT. Brooks said. The hens produce eggs for a year, and then travel to the killing room to emerge as roasters and stewers.
 The champion of the flock, a nameless white drab with rumpled feathers and gleam in her eye, has produced 27 eggs in 28 days for the flock record, thus far. That record was established in June, and by last week, she'd missed only two days since.
 The flock average is 67 percent, MT. Brooks reported. That's sweet music to a poultryman's ears, he says.
 As an experiment this year, the Brooks have imported a flock of Dryden Cross bullets. The hens are a heavy, all purpose bird handsomely feathered in black and white plaid. They are re- ported to be an excellent layer, with higher average than the White Leghorn. The 200 spin sters lending for themselves in the Brooks backyard may be the nucleus of an entire flock for the Cackleberry Farm, if the hens live up to advance reports.

PAYMENT IN ADVANCE
 Continued From Page D


 others apparently forget that the hospital needs money to pay the grocery, drug, laundry, electricity and phone bills, in addition to the salaries of employees. And this last item is not the heavy drain on finances that some Valley res idents believe, the hospital board president explained. The salaries of hospital employees are compar- atively low.
 Mrs. John Weaver, acting man. ager at the Valley Hospital, told board members that the hospitals inability to collect bills owed was being reflected in the insti tution's inability to meet it's own obligations. "The plain truth is. the Valley Hospital is losing its credit standing" she declared. The manager told of instances in which Outside firms refuse to make drug shipments to the local institution, except on cod. or ders. Many times, the hospital bank account is at such low ebb, the orders cannot be picked up immediately.
 Board members accepted the fact that there are many Valley residents who are unable to pay for disqualification. The board IS working out plan, whereby they hope to make loans available to hard pressed folk who are in need of disqualification. Details of the plan were not complete at press time, but will be announced soon.
