AIusku Lions Convene In Gateway City
(Continued from Page 1)


 The Seward club has under taken and maintain number of praisworthy projects for the inn provement and betterment of the city. One of the most valued of these is an annual scholarship of $500 awarded to a member of the graduating class of the Seward High School. The schol- arship committee is comprised of three members, and has been effective for the past three years
 In addition to the scholarship, a student loan fund was set up under which any graduate ot Seward High School may bor- row up to $750, to be used by him in the pursuit of higher learning. The loan is made With out interest, to be repaid after the recipient has entered the earning field.
 The scholarship fund was in augurated in 1946, designed to encourage deserving young peo- ole to continue their education. The award is not based on scho- lastic standing alone, the finan- cial need of the student recelv- ing greatest consideration.
 The students loan fund was made available in 1948, when gift of S25O was made to the club. to be followed each year with an additional amount un- til total of S1250 is reached. The donor stipulated that this money was to be set aside for the express purpose of estab- fishing the loan fund to further assist and encourage the young people of Seward in the pursuit of higher education.

(Continued from Page D because the entire Board pro- gram cannot be obtained at this time, is in the Chambers opin- ion a short sighted policy and decision.
 We would appreciate taking this matter before the parents of Seward, for their reaction, and see if the School Board could not be induced to alter their stand in this matter. To make clear the issue, we offer some of the facts as outlined by the Governor to the Mayor of Seward.
 A gymnasium, swimming pool and auditorium could be ap- proved for immediate construc- tion, of a 50 per cent cost basis to the People of Seward. The Alaska Public Works Agency to erect the building, paying the total cost of same, and when completed would turn same over to the City, taking their notes or bond for 50 per cent

of the cost. This 50 per cent due the Federal Government for the project would be paid for from receipts of the City Sales Tax and the Territorial Cigarette Tax, without addition al cost to the People. However, if it were necessary to issue City bonds to cover the City's portion of the cost, it would be a good investment for the citi- Zens.
 We ask the People of Seward to consider this matter care fully and make known to the School Board, City Council, newspaper, and Station KIBH their wishes on this subject. The People of Seward have claimed that we do not receive our DOT tion of Public Funds. Perhaps our attitude of not giving due consideration to the subject, or relying on the judgment of small groups, is the reason why we do not progress and receive our portion of Public Funds. Let's publicize this matter and get the Peoples wishes carried out.

Reading about pets gives early educa-

Even the small turtles need proper

they do not often get it.
Think this over, when you give pet

There will be many Christmas puppies
and kittens.
Most owners will not realize that
there is anything much to learn about
such animals.
Are they not childrenS pets?
But along with every puppy and kitten
should go a good book on the same.
There are many good ones to be had.
Every library branch can supply one or
more.
Therefore, with all such giving, give
book, too.
1t does not come natural to most
people, especially children, to take proper
care of young things, even of themselves.
Note proper care.
It is proper care that counts, and
few persons have this knowledge natu-

Some one must tell them, or they
must read it in book.
Little children will squeeze soft cuddly
kittens until the poor things are almost

Kind hearted elders will feed puppies
until they are so fat they can scarcely
waddle.
Older folks still think they are living

to run freely in the street.

Mr.. AttIee's Talk

Prime Minister Attlee's remarks to the
National Press Club will not satisfy those who
think that Britain is carrying less than her
share of the load in the present crisis.
Mr.. Attlee was careful about making COM
mitments He said, for instance that you may
be certain that in fair or foul weather, where
the Stars and Stripes fly in Korea, the British
flag will fly beside them. We stand by our duty.
We stand by our friends"
This commitment is more limited than might
seem to be the case at first glance The use
OF the words "in Korea" should be taken to
mean that Britain pledges nothing in Asia out
side Korea. If we should become involved in
war in Manchuria, for example, Mr.. Attlee
clearly reserves the right to refuse to support
us in that theater.
Nevertheless, however much one might
prefer broader commitment in the face of
common danger, the Prime Minister'S talk was
q good and wholesome one 1t rules out appease-
ment, and 1t reveals knship of interest and
Of purpose between the British and ourselves
which Is an invaluable asset in these dangerous
times. Those in this country who indulge in
scurrious attacks on the British should pause
and consider where they are going. Their
apparent objective is to drive wedge between
Britain and America to turn the people of this
country away from a natural and strong ally.
If they should succeed in that unworthy en-
deavor, the day will come when they will have
much to answer for.

Men between the ages of 81 and % are

Before our Joint Military Mission for
Aid to Turkey began functioning under
the Truman Doctrine in 1947, Turkey
never had cadre of non commissioned

services. Now. however, careers have
been opened up for such men in the
Turkish forces.

Undisqusted Doctor

I feel that I am we'll qualified to
answer the recent letter from "Disgusted
Doctor" as I, too. finished my medical
education at my own expense during the
last war and did not see any military
service-up to the present. volunteered
for duty and was accepted as soon as
the Korean situation developed I did
not wait to get a draft call, like Dis
gusted did. My status the last time was
At, too, but what Disguised does not
realize is that this was seven years ago,
and not 1850.
Doesn't he know that his physical de-
feet can change. or that the. require
ments can change in seven years? The
latest physical exam I took for the
services was admittedly crude. but it
achieved its desired results; namely. the
placing of doctors like myself, and Dis
gusted, too, hope. into uniform as
quickly as possible.
That is why Disguised is really object
ing to the exam: Not its crudeness or its
rudeness to him, but its possible effec-
tiveneSS.
AS to the possibility that physical
defect may be overlooked, for which he
will collect disability payments later,
should think that he would be the type
who would welcome with open arms such
an eventuality. After all, didn't he wait
until the very last minute to get drafted?
These payments will be shared by him
anyway, in the form of income taxes or
does he plan to beat Uncle Sam out OF
that, too?
It Is high time for Disguised to aban-
don his cringing position behind the
apron strings of professional dignity and
step forward briskly to serve his country
like the true American that believe he

Is divisions of about $4,000 men each.
In September, the Turkish armed
forces held what has been officially de-
scribed as Extremely successful large
scale military maneuvers." Tanks, planes
and ships participated.
The Turks say that theirs is not purely
a defensive force. and point out that
they could, in the event of Russian at
tack in Western Europe, smash at the
Soviet flank.
Turkey has been negotiating mutual
defense pact with Greece which, when
consummated, may later include Italy
and Yugoslavia. Such a lineup would
put very sizeable force on RuSsia's
flank.
Turkeys chief strength lies not alone
in it's 2 million bayonets. but in the
unity of its 205 million citizens. Since
it broke with the past in 1928, under
Ataturk, it has embraced Western ideals
and democratic principles. It's flrmness
in the face of heavy Soviet pressure has
earned it high place in the ranks OF
the free nations.
When the American taxpayer con-
templates the aidmoney spent since
World War II, he probably will come
up with the verdict of.most of our mill
tary experts: Nowhere have the dollars
been spent more wisely or to better
advantage than in Turkey. guardian Of

This and That
By Charles E. TroceweN

No longer is it good to allow small
thing but a few weeks old to meet
modern traffic.
That way lies disaster for tender bones
and flesh.
Feeding will stump the earnest pet
owner.
Of course. it is possible to do the thing
without thought, but how much better
1t is to know!
The point simply is that real knowledge
is better here than rule of thumb.
It is not possible to trust too implicit
edly the seller.
He is busy man, especially at
Christmas time. He means well, but he
has much on his mind, and must think
Of ten things at once.
Some kids will even get ponies for
Christmas.
No one would think of trying to take
care of a pony without real expert
advice.
The same thing ought to apply to
kittens and puppies, but perhaps with
more force, for they are smaller and
tenderer. They need expert care, just
as any baby does.
Those first months, when they are
so cute, are the vital ones.
Even the children know as much.
So you think you know all about
puppies.

FitzgeroId's Papers

The daughter of F. Scott FITZGERALD was
Well-advised to give his manuscripts to Princeton
He was member of the class of 1917 there and,
though he did not graduate, he loved the uni
versity and it was a major influence in his life
and work. What use eventually may be made
of the papers remains to be seen but there can
be no question about the wisdom which Mrs,
Lanahan has shown in depositing them where
they should be at once safe and available for
study
Her father, as it happens, was more interest
Ing than anything he ever wrote. People COM
monty failed to fathom him, and Fitzgerald did
not understand himself at any stage of his
career. The instinct to be literary artist was
the driving force which carried him forward
but it lacked the correlative force of directing
element He had power, yet his target-aside
from wanting to be genius-was uncertain
In quest of solution for his problem he tried
the army, journalism, advertising, novels, short
stories film scripts. Nowhere did he bat 1000
Neither did he fail completely.
The critics who have tried to explain him
have not done so by repeating that he was the
top interpreter of the jazz age. Fitzgerald was
more than the historian of a million Clara Bows,
a million Rudolph Valentines There is more to
his achievement than an album of pictures of
flaming youth" Possibly the fact that he was
only A when he died provides clue to what
he really was and what he actually did, Perhaps
he had in his mind and in his heart the making
of Voltaire or Balzac. His legend, still
f1ourishing suggests that his tragedy was that
he never managed to emerge from the apprentice
stage. Whatever may be the proper diagnosis,
his papers should show. Thus his daughter has
done a service to hinl-as well as to American
literature-by placing them where she has put
them.
