Round 'n' Bout Town
The Rowing Reporter

Mrs. Emma RenWald enter tained the Fourth Avenue work ing girls Thursday at buffet luncheon. There were 29 pres ent.
 A fine play on humor was added to the party which made it an occasion of much laugh ter. Mrs. Frances O'Brien was given a surprise birthday party, even though Thursday was far from being her real birthday.
 When some of her good friends are in buying gifts, she sometimes jokingly tells them she is having birthday, too. When Mrs. Renwald invited her to the luncheon Mrs. O'Brien said, "Oh, Thursday is my birth day and I need suits and hats more than anything else" Mrs. Renwald, knowing what a good sense of humor Mrs. O'Brien has, decided to really surprise SO dS oAAC Sdx1CSA l1C4 sOSSLS she told them of her plan and asked them to bring some amus- ing little gift. She also had Billy Estes make suit, doll size, which you should see, as it has covered buttons, split skirt and is complete in every detail, even to the Scotty pin on the lapel. A tiny hat was made to match and it was in cellophane box, wrapped like it came out of a Fifth Avenue shop.
 Mrs. O'Brien was somewhat bewildered for while but it wasn't long until she was laugh Ing with the rest of them, espe- tially when she opened up gift packages containing rattles, rub per toys, bird seed and books on how to travel with children

Father CIoPP Returns From Conference.

The Reve erend L. Russell Clapp, St. Peters Episcopal Church, returned to Seward Monday of this week after at tending the first conference of all Episcopal clergy in Alaska, held at Fairbanks last week.

General Revenue bonds are different from General Obliga- ton bonds in this way: they are taken out by the city after q vote is taken at an election by the people of the city for particular revenue making pro- ject such as our City Electric System, and can only be paid off from the revenue of the project for which they were drawn. The only security the bond holders have is the property of that project. The real property of property owners is not held as collateral as it is under the Gen. eral Obligation bonds. We have outstanding in General Revenue bonds S104,000 for the City Electric System improvements, which was passed on in recent election We also have S36,0O0 outstanding in General Revenue bonds for the Seward Marine Ways and Cold Storage The revenue from this project will pay itself off in a period of 10 years starting in 1943.
 The City Sales Tax program brings in revenue of approx imately S4,000 per month, which will net the City around S48,00O
 in a years time Under Sales Tax Ordinance 1904 this reve- nue is set aside for health, well fare and education purposes
 only. This limits the councils appropriations of the Sales Tax revenue to the school budget, which for this fiscal year is $26,500, and $1,800 for public health. The balance is appro- priated for the various improve ments at the school which are now in progress or will be un- dertaken shortly For the next fiscal year starting July 1, 1850 through June 31, 1851 the coun- Gil must appropriate to the school their share of the budget for that fiscal year, which will be in the neighborhood of S30,0O0 and to the Health De- partment S1,8OO, leaving ap- proximately S16,200 surplus, which the School Board may use for any program they see fit.
 Now in getting back to the A.P.W. program and what it can mean to Seward, the coun- cil has studied the various pro- jects for improvement for Sew ard and have discussed them personally with APW. authori- ties. They informed us that Sew ard has ample school facilities for the time being, and that many Alaska communities were in much greater need for school construction programs than we were They had obtained this information from pr. Ryan, Commissioner of Education, To- cated in Juneau. Schools were considered as No. 1 priority on their list of programs. The coun- cil members and myself then discussed the sewer project, the paving and side walks, the hos pitals, and the water works, which is privately owned. We were told by the authorities that we must get our sewer system and see to it that the water works are in good order before going into a paving pro gram. Consequently the city council took as their No. 1 need the sewer system. We are now in the process of submitting an application to the A.P.W. di- rector in Juneau for approval The Seward Water System has assured us of their intention to revitalize their system. This done, the city could proceed with the paving and side walk program next year.
 In both the sewer and paving projects there would be no need in calling for General Obliga- tion Bond issue, as tax assess

Mayor Reports On A.P.W.;; Asks For Suggestions
By Mayor Eugene N. Lanier

BY MaYor Eugene IN. Lahlef
 The Alaska Public Works pro- gram was passed on by the US. Congress last year for the pur- pose of aiding Alaska communi- ties in their local facilities such as schools, hospitals, sewers, water works, street improve ments, electric power plants, parks, playgrounds, etc.
 The purpose of the program, (which 1 will simplify by call ing A.P.W) was to relieve Alas ka towns the burden of heavy bond issues, by providing finan- cial assistance in the various improvements.
 In the A.P.W. act the town may apply only for the improve ments most urgently needed in their community. These appli- cations are reviewed by the A.P.W. director, with the aid of the Governor and his staff to determine whether that com munity can qualify for assist ance under AP.W. If, on the basis of the report, it should ap- pear that the existing need is great enough the decision will be in the favor of that town, and they pass their approval on the project submitted. Before this, however, they take into consl- iteration the ability of the partic- ular community in repaying the Government for their share of money made available for the project by the A.P.W. act. The participation in a project by the Government is divided into three main sections: l. On a 75 per cent basis the Government would pay 75 per cent of the total cost of a pro- ject.
 2. They can participate on a 50 per cent cost of a project.
 3. Or on 25 per cent basis paying only that amount of the total cost.
 The directors of A.P.W. have left in the minds of most City officials their intention to par ticipate on 50 per cent basis with most of the community projects.
 To explain further, let's take for example the 75 per cent par ticipation of the Government in a project. If the project cost SlO0,0OOO0 the Government would pay S75,OOO.OO and the city the remaining S25, 100000.
 On a 50 per cent basis the Government would pay S5O,OOO and the city the same. This ex- ample is the yard stick for most communities in Alaska to plan by, according to the understand ing we have.
 In the 25 per cent participa- tiOn the Government would pay $25, ,00O to the city's $75,00O.
 The A.P.W act appropriated $70,000,OO0 for G.C.A. to be spent in Alaska towns over period of five years. At the end of this time the director Of A.P.W. must return to Wash ington, D. C., $35,OOO,OOO, or just half of the money appro- priated for the programs. The $35, 100000 returned may be either in cash or commitments of payment by the communities in Alaska for the projects they have received under this act.
 The City of Seward has out standing in General Obligation $119,0OO,~ which is the balance of the last bond issue, which was in the sum of $125,OOO. This was used in paying for the new school addition. The interest is 3M per cent.
 In addition there is $2,OOO left to be paid on the gymna- sium and $12,0OO remaining to ho maid op fho orioi,,a1 echoo1

Reservation Delayed by Chapman

(P) Special Washington Service
 WASHINGTON, (P-Secretary of the interior Oscar Chapman told the senate interior committee yesterday why he had held up el- ections by three Alaska Indian tribes to vote on whether they want reservations established for them.

For a long time, and especially
during the present crisis brought
on by the Korean war, my heart
has been yearning for Christian
people to face the issue squarely'
and do something about this mat,
ter of world peace. We neeo
some movement for peace which
all of us as Christian people can
put our hearts and souls into.
For a while, when I first heard
of it, 1 thought the current
Crusade For Freedom" might
be the needed organization. Thls
crusade which is getting under
way in the state and over the
nation, no doubt will do a lou OF
good, but it seems to me that II
is not broad enough in its scope
1t emphasizes a free europe
while what we need is a move
ment which has worldwide ap.
peal, something which Woula
have as it's aim the freedom OF
all peoples, including the Inter
ate and starving millions OF ASIA
and Africa and Latin America.
We have too long already shut
our eyes to the plight OF these
down-trodden people in the back
ward areas of the world. How
ever, we are learning that 1t IS
impossible to remain aloft from
need in the world, even it is on
the other side of the world. In a
paraphrase of Lincoln's words:
'The world cannot remain half
slave and half free"
Well, you say, what can we
do? We can give of our wealth
and our energies in helping TO
raise the standard of living OF
these peoples. We have been do
ing this in a small way for a
long time through missions and
various other charitable organl-
cations. But we must give our
help on a large scale. We must go
out after whipping this scourge
of ignorance and poverty over
the world, with the same deter
mination that we go after whip
ping a military army.
Yes, it would mean a sacrifice
for us. But we are going to have
to sacrifice whether we want to
or not. It is a matter of choosing
between the forced sacrifices OF
war or the voluntary sacrifices
of love and service.
