Lus+y Gusts
Disgusting

The weather has been the
chief topic of conversation in
Seward for the past week. Every
body talks about it, but all that
could be done about it was to
huddle around the fire when it
wasn't absolutely necessary to
go out.
After days of 35 to SO mile
winds, the snow came. Is inches
of snow put aside all worries
about a white Christmas.
SeWardites are used to the
wind and have come to miss it
dixie a sore thumb) when it sub
sides in the Wintertime, and
when it stops there is an un-
natural stiffness.
Everyone felt at home, how
ever, by Tuesday when skies
cleared under a searching NORTH
wind sweeping out OF Resurrec-
ton Pass. Streets were blown
clear, only to pile up in UNI
expected places; cars were stuck
in drifts; shoVels were kept in
doorWays to clear path every
time one had TO leave certain
houses. And it is cold!
According to official weather
reports the temperature at q
am. Friday was II degrees.
Closer to the mountain thermo-
meters registered 4 degrees by
o'clock, and the official tenn
perature went down TO 8 at that
time, with wind velocity at 80,
dropping hourly as the tempera-
ture rose again slightly with
sunrise.
The lowest recorded Wednes-
day was 10 degrees and Thurs
day night was IA, Strangely
enough the low temperatures
are recorded just before or at
sunrise.
= Yes, Seward has had weather
this week. Work went on as
usual, however, the only diff
ference being fewer people visit
ing on the street.

Sports Show Postponed Until
Saturday Because Or Concert

Because of the postponement
of the concert from Thursday
to Friday night, the High School
Sports Show also had to be set
back day, so as to avoid inter-
ference with the concert, many
people wishing to attend both
events.
The Sports Show is a very inn
portant item in the basketball
year, because it is means of
finance. To send the Sea Hawks
to Fairbanks and Anchorage for
the first series of the conference
games is an expensive proposit-
ion, but the boys try to raise as
much Of the money as they can
themselves. This is another of
their money making affairs, and
the townspeople are expected to
respond as heartily as they have
in the past years, in support OF
the home team

Did You Register?
Only Qualification
TO Wore Mondoy

EVERY registered voter in
Seward can vote in the coming
special election, Monday, Dec.
IL. Registration books will be
open in the City Hall until ~
pm. Friday, Dec. 8 tonighD for
those who have not registered
during the year 1850
At every election there are
many persons wishing to vote,
but who have failed to register
within the calendar year. This
is not because Of any City Ordi-
nance, but is Territorial law.
Until Territorial law is changed
regarding the registration OF
voters, everyone must register
annually.
Nor Necessary to Own Properly
Another question raised every
time there IS a special election
is whether a person must be a
property owner in order to be
eligible The answer is mo. -
THIS being a vote on the issuing
Of REVENUE BONDS, any Am
erican citizen, who is q years
OF age or over, who has lived Ill
the Territory OF Alaska for a
period OF one year and in the
city limits OF Seward for a per-
iod OF 80 days next preceding
the election, and who has reg
istered as a voter, IS eligible to
vote next Monday on the three
propositions before the people.
In case OF a General ObLga-
ton Bond, voters must also be
taxpayers, but in Revenue
Bond issue the revenue OF the
property itself is liable, and no
other property or tax money is
involved. Therefore, EVERY reg
istered voter in Seward may
cast a ballot Monday on this
most important issue before the
city.

Early Morning Fire
Asurn, False

A fire alarm at about $50
Thursday morning called out
sleepy, protesting volunteer fire
department.
1t is said that Harry Southland,
upon seeing a glare near the
Seward Fish & Cold Storage Co.,
turned in the alarm. Upon
reaching the scene after con-
siderable difficulty with snow
drifts, the local fire fighters
found switch engine being
fired, which made the glare on
the snow.
The boys returned to the fire
hall, mighty glad that they had
not been called on to fight a
real blaze in such weather, but
rather pie-eyed at having been
called from their warm beds
for nothing.

Seward Brothers marooned On
Rugged Island Saved BY C.G.

Louis and Wallace Wiegand
were rescued from Rugged Is
land Wednesday afternoon, Dec.
s, after having been marooned
there since Nov. 80.
They went out to Rugged
Island in their fishing boat, a
rebuilt J-Boat, to bring in a
quonset hut. The boat was moor
ed and the men were ashore with
food and fuel, but some time
during the night the boat broke
away and by morning was out
of sight. 1t is not known whe-
Their it drifted to the west shore
or was sunk.

engagements with SafeWay Air

Military officials weighing the
gains and losses scored in Opera
ton Portrex-the big Caribbean
war games-expressed belief to-
day the plus factors will add up
heavily in favor of Americas de-
fense team.
Despite some critical reports
coming out of the maneuver area
they said the air. sea-land bat
/ ties not only provided a major
/ test Of inter service coordination
at the planning level, but also
gave invaluable field training to
the 10000 or more combat forces
! involved.
They pointed out that no sim
gle observer-there were 100 in all
could cover the vast scope of
the operations which stretched
from Norfolk, Va. to Bermuda
and across to Puerto Rico where
the big mock battle was staged
for Tiny Vieques Island.
The actual military assessment
will not be completed until about
May by the Army, Navy and Air
Force officers who put on the
biggest peacetime battle test in
this Nations history.
Portrex assumed that an enemy
known as "aggreSSor held vast
land mass extending to Vieques
Island, a hump in the Caribbean
east of Puerto Rico. Aggressor
had modern warplanes and sub
marines and an army of more
than usual size for the area in
volved.
The United States forces-80.-
/ 900 men with billions of dollars
worth of ships, planes and equip
ment-had to capture the penin-
sula represented by Vieques.
The difficulty in an individual
assessment of PortreX Is separa-
tion of the training job from that
of shoWmanship.-As an exercise
1t was a great shoW-as a show 1t
ranked we'll below many smaller
events.

They didn't get it on D-Day

an hour. No screaming jet fighter
bomberS supported the invaders.
WarshipS were just silent Silhou-

pilots didn't know that and were
mighty unhappy.
Military people explain the D.
day picture this way:
The aggressor beach defenses
were left intact, instead of being
smashed by dynamite to show

to force the troops to push
through them.

about the heavy losses (simu-
lated) among ships and sub
marines, especially the snorkel

The answer is a problem in
umpiring. Such damage had to

Nobody ever gave a straight
answer, but the indication was

that strategic air attack results
would have had to be simulated
to the point of vanishing from
the picture, since the bombing

Just off-hand these questions
could be asked: How is it that
the Virgin Islands are the only
territorial group from which
the Internal RevenueT axe are
withheld? What is the status
of the ten-million dollar public
works program? Why is it that
certain excise taxes are inn

thus making those products, in

GOVERNMENT RED TAPE" CLARIFIED

GOVERNMENT RED TAPE" CLARIFIED
A SERIES OF lectures and round-table discussions
should be conducted with the view to informing the public
on the general outlines of Congressional procedure in legiS-
lative matters. Such a program would clear the air of much
misunderstanding, indifference and plain callousness, and
awaken in the citizen the desire to follow more closely those
matters which pertain to the public welfare in general. The
development of such an awarenesS is bound to reflect itself
in more cooperative citizenship and greater participation in
the affairs of the community.
H AVERAGE citizen land this includes the great bulk
who are not directed by connected or concerned with govern
mental affairs) reads with mild curiosity that a certain bill,
HR. 5000, for example, is still pending in committee; that a
bill to bring about the transfer Of the Experiment Station to
the Department of Agriculture is before a certain committee,
but that it might die there, and countless other cases. For
years citizens from these Islands have treked to Washington
in the hope that somehow the Internal Revenue Taxes would
be returned to us. In addition to all this there is the perplex-
ing question of certain appropriations which in the beginning
seem adequate to cover the intended purpose, yet there. is
begging down along the way, the least of which is not the
great Public Works Program which gave such hope and prom
ie during the Harwood administration.
H SUGGESTED series of lectures and discussions, BY
following through the steps logically, could serve to clarity
the situation and bring about a more intelligent approach to
all these problems. The size and makeup of these towns lend
themselves admirably to such a program, and if planned care
fully could serve a very great purpose. And just in case some
few reacdonaries begin to gasp at the very thought let US say
here and now that it is by no means new or novel, II is prac-
ticed in countless towns and communities. And the fact that
questions have been asked time and again is clear indication
that the need for such a forum is felt.
FROM TIME to time Representatives and Senators visit
these Islands. In connection with their coming releases are
issued stating the purpose of their visit, which is often related
to some bill to be proposed in Congress, but after they set
sail little or nothing is further heard of either the men or the
