NEW WINTER SCHEDULE FOR ALASKA LINE

A new Alaska Steamship Co. triple-season reduced-fare round- trip tariff and an improved fall and winter passenger steamer schedule were announced last week by H. N. Peterson, general traffic manager of the line.
 Beginning October 9 and con- tinuing through May 15, 1851, a 20 per cent reduction in round trip passenger rates will be available to all Alaska Line travellers between any two ports served. Last year the company reinaugurated reduced round trip fares on voyages from Al askan ports to Seattle and re- turn. This year for the first time, the company will make round-trip rate reductions avail able to travellers from Seattle and from and between all All askan ports.
 The new sailing schedule covers weekly departures from Seattle from October 6, 1850 through March 30, 1851 and represents distinct change from past winter schedules in that all sailings from Seattle are set for 5 pm. Friday instead of II am. Saturday.
 New itineraries have also been arranged under the new sched- ule. The Baranof, set to sail from Seattle every second Friday, will call at Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, Juneau and Seward, northbound, and at Sitka, Ju- neau and Ketchikan, sout h. bound. The Denali, sailing on alternate Fridays, northbound will call at Ketchikan, Juneau, Sitka, Seward and either Valdez or Cordova (alternating each voyage). Southbound the De- nails ports will be Juneau, Pet tersburg, Wrangell and Ketchi- kan.

BOYS WANTED TO TEND VISITING DONKEYS

Joe Doyle wants 14 boys to meet the freight train with him tonight to help lead and tend the 14 donkeys that will arrive via freight for the soft ball game Sunday.
 Back in the States and in the good old days, the boys Hooked around the circus to carry water to the elephants. This is probab- ly the nearest thing to the old days that Seward boys will ever see.
 Remember BOYS, see Joe Doyle NOW, and arrange to take care of the little donkeys until Sunday.
 The ball game will be played near the Jes e l. e Q H m C grounds at 200 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Players will be local people, but they will ride to the bases on the donkeys. Or they will try to ride! Maybe the donkeys will have different ideas. Who knows?

NATIONAL GUARD NOT DRAFT INSURANCE

John L. Mccormick, Terri torial Director of SelectiVe Serv- ice announced this. week that enlistment in the N a on a l Guard under certain conditions is not draft insurance.
 Young men without previous military service who now join the National Guard are still sub- ject to being drafted into the Armed Forces.
 Any youth between the ages of 19 and 25 inclusive, who joined the guard since June 24, 1940, may be called up the same as any civilian.
 Recent talk has gotten abroad, Mccormick said, which gives the erroneous impression that a member of the National Guard is safer" from induction.
 Only young men not subject to call are those with previous military service who are de ferred under the present law and those who joined the guarc prior to June 24, 1948, and arc still enlisted.

WATCH YOUR DOGS

People living in the neighbor- hood of Second Avenue from Adams Street to the beach are warned to watch out for their dogs if they value them. Several good dogs in the neighborhood have been made very sick with in the last ten days with some thing that resembles distemper but is thought to be poison.
 It has not been discovered whether the dogs have picked up rat poison or whether there has been a deliberate attempt to destroy the dogs.
 It was reported that Joe Lyons was found cuddling a dog, his constant companion, which had been dead for several hours. Two other dogs have died re- gently with the same symptoms.

LETTERS TO THE MAYOR:

The following letter was re- ceived this week by Mayor Lanier:
 Your letter of August 1st ex- pressing appreciation for the visit of the USS Mahopac on the Fourth of July has been re- ceived.
 The Commandant wishes to thank the Mayor and the people of the City of Seward for the kind invitation extended to the Mahopac for a return visit on Labor Day. However, due to heavy operational needs which must be met by all vessels of this command, it is regretted that a visit to Seward cannot be made by the Mahopac on that date.
 The officers and men of the USS Mahopac have informed the Commandant of the splendid hospitality and many courtesies extended them on the occasion of their visit to Seward and they are enxious to return as soon as they can. The mutual good will between the citizens of Seward and the officers and men of the Mahopac is source of pride to me and it will, there fore, be a pleasure to resume such visits when the vessel can be made available.
 Very truly yours,

First Seward Draftees Get Summons

The first call for Seward boys in the 21 and 22 age group of eligible draftees came Saturday This was call to report to Ft. Richardson August 23 for physi- cal examination.
 So far as we have been able to check, six local boys received the call: Richard Bogard, Gene Kirkpatrick, William Gre en, Earl Moore, Don Smith, and Frank Sanders. There may be others of which we have not heard.
 The calling of these younger men was little unexpected here, although it seems likely that the physical examinations for all ages will be given early so as to speed up the actual drafting process. So far as is known at this time, none of the men in the 23 to 26 year age group has been called into ac- tual service from Seward.

City Council Approves
 1851 Budget

Stewards City Council in reg ular session last night passed the budget for 1851 totalling $154,0O0. This includes all pay ments and interest on bonded in- debtedness and provision for future construction in the amount of S20,000, which leaves an unappropriated balance of $24,0OO.
 The sum of $18,O0O was bud geted for the police department which is $88294 less than the actual cost of operation during the past year, which was more than S7,0O0 over the appropria- ton. The cost of operation in every department was well over the appropriations made, but the greatest deficit was in the police department.
 The fire department was sec ond with an over expenditure of S5,9O8.97. The street depart ment was S3,9S214 over; gar bage disposal, s1,953.60 over; city clerks office, s575.86.
 New equipment and a S5,000 appropriation for the new city hall and fire department build ing brought the total amount to S26,90401 over the estimated budget for 194S-1950.
 Renewal of most of the in- surance for a three year period fell under last years appropria- tions, and can be deleted from the new budget. Figures as set for the coming year are S9O4.01 less than the actual eXpendi- lures for last year, including S20,00O to be set aside as a reserve for future construction plus S24,00O unappropriated balance.

EASTERN STAR GRAND MATRON TELLS FISH STORY OF THE YEAR

Mrs. Abbie Hanson, M t Worthy Grand Matron Eastern Star, while visiting in Seward last week had the biggest story of the year, which happens to be true.
 On Wednesday Bob Stearns took a party out on the Bay in his boat, Sea Urchin, with MT and Mrs. Hanson for days salt water fishing Mrs. Hanson is confirmed fishing addict and was very anxious for a real catch in Alaska.
 While fishing from the dory, Mrs. Hanson says that huge silver flirted all around the boat, front and back and both sides, but refused her hook. Finally she was about to give up in despair and return to the Sea Urchin when the silver obligingly flung itself right into the boat.
 Mrs. Hanson has pictures and the frozen salmon in proof of her story.

Rehabilitation Appropriation Requested
Dear Mayor Lanier:


 As you will note by reading the enclosed copy of Mary Lee 1 Councils newsletter, the Inter- for Department is making a very serious effort to obtain money for reconstruction of bridges on the Seward section of The Alas ka Railroad.
 It is my understanding that the budgetary request will be supported strongly by the De- partment of Defense. There is no guarantee, however, that the money will be granted by Con- gress. It may take a while to achieve that. That is because the Department of the Interior has consistently told the Appro- priation Committees that the re- quests for money for rehabilita- tion which were incorporated in the 1851 budget would con- clude the general Alaska Rail- road construction program. So l suspect there may be some reluctance to go along with this latest request. But, in view of the Korean situation and in further view of the willingness of the Department of Defense to cooperate, 1 feel rather confi- dent that before too long money will be appropriated for rehabil- itation purposes on the southern end of the railroad.
 With best wishes, I am Sincerely yours, E. L. Bartlett From the Newsletter:
 1 The Department of Interiors desire to maintain the Seward Portage section of The Alaska Railroad was confirmed last week when President Truman sent to Congress a request for a supplemental 1851 fiscal year appropriation of S1,500,O0O.
 The funds are requested prin- cipally for the repair or replace ment of bridges on this southern portion of the railroad to permit safe operation. "The port of Whittier" the request stated in l speaking of the alternate south ern terminus of the railroad, lis unable to handle freight shipments for both military and civilian needs, thus making it necessary to continue Seward as an active port, particularly for civilian benefit. Many of the structures in the loop section of the rail line have deteriorated to such an extent that immediate repair or replacement is re- quired."
 T The House Committee on Ap- propriations is now in process of hearing supplemental requests to the 1851 budget, and it is anticipated the supplemental bill will be reported during the week of August 21. It is under stood that the Department of Defense will give strong SUD- port to the funds sought for the rehabilitation of the Seward Portage section of the railroad.
