Halloween Quiet

A number of private parties, cooperation of parents, vigilant policemen, and cold weather were all contributing factors to the quietest Halloween in years.
 Soaped windows and cars, ov- erturned garbage cans, and few disappearing gates were re- ported
 Red" Stolp, who loves chil- dren, and who is general fa- vorite with Seward youngsters, gave small party, then went to Jesse Lee Home and entertained the children there with her har- monica, dances, and her own in- imitable foolery. She took a bag of candy for each child at the home.
 Trick k-or-treaters" visited in scattered groups, some parts of town receiving more notice than others. One home had 68 visitors during the course of the evening, all of whom received treats.
 The curfew put an end to most of the fun at 10 o'clock.

SKATING AT GROUSE LAKE

Ice at Grouse Lake is reported to be six inches thick, heavy enough to hold anybody in Sew ard.
 Cold, brilliant weather is an open invitation to local skaters to sharpen up their blades and enjoy the fun while it lasts. The lake soon becomes high with snow, so have fun, kids, before it snows! But-be careful! Re member when Bill Terry's little girl was struck by a car out there?

Zone Ro+es On Parcel Post Becomes
 Effective Nov. IS

Juneau-Zone rates on parcels of fourth-class matter and air parcel post between Alaska and the United States will become effective November Is, Cover nor Ernest Gruening has been advised by Assistant Postmaster General Osborne A. Pearson.
 Zoning of the Territory for computing postage rates on par eel post will mean a substantial saving for Alaskans, particular ly during the approaching Christ mas season. Formerly, eighth zone rates were applicable on all parcel post mailed to and from Alaska. Under the new zoning regulations, Seattle and Portland will be located in the fifth zone and parcel post rates will drop from 18 to IS cents per pound.
 Great Falls will be in the sixth zone, San Francisco in the sev- enth, New York, Chicago and other eastern centers remaining in the eighth. Seattle will con- tinue to be an eighth zone point for Barrow and other Arctic communities.
 Although increases in air par eel post rates for intra-Alaska traffic were scheduled to take eff feet November 1, the new Zon- ing regulations actually will mean decrease for parcels mailed to the States. The old rate of 80 cents per pound to Seattle, for example, will be re- duced to 70 cents for the first pound and 56 cents for each ad- ditional pound.
 Application for zone rates on U.S.-Alaska parcel post com pletes the final stage in the long awaited revision of postal zoning regulations as they apply to the Territory, Governor Gruening said. Regular zone rates on intra- Alaska parcel post became ef- fective September Is, 1948.

Seward To Form Chapter Of Alaska Good Roads Assoc.

The Seward Chapter of the Alaska Good Roads Association was given the breath of life to- day, when the Lions Club voted to be the sponsoring organiZa- ton for the new non-profit as sociation that will help develop roads and highways throughout the Territory.
 The aims of the Alaska Good Roads Association were explain ed by Herb Hilscher, executive secretary of the AGRA.
 There is a great need in Alas ka for a network of highways and roads," Hilscher said. Be cause the citizens of Alaska de- sire to work together to the end that such a network of highways and roads shall be realized, the Alaska Good Roads Association has been formed"
 Present plans call for some 20 chapters in Alaska, with Board of Governors establishing policy for the Good Roads Association.
 Our organization realizes that the economic and social wei fare of the people of Alaska is vitally dependent upon all high. way services, their planning, if nancing, maintenance and ad ministration," Hilscher said "The Alaska Good Roads Associ- ation also realizes that the de- fense of the nation is vitally de pendent upon strong network of roads in Alaska, and we are dedicated to the accomplishment of these objectives.'
 The members of the Lions Club agreed to "carry the ball" to get strong chapter estab- lished in the Seward area, so that specific recommendations on roads and their priority could be made. .-..
 As a non-profit organization, membership in the Alaska Good Roads Association is one dollar for individuals, and it is hoped that there will be 2,500 members in the territorial organization by the end of the year.
 We will work directly with local, territorial and federal agencies who are responsible for roads in Alaska" Hilscher de clared
 Chapters have already been started in Fairbanks, Anchorage and Palmer.
 Larry Moore, manager of Alas ka Chapter Associated Contract ors, who accompanied Hilscher to the Lions meeting, will go to Cordova, Valdez and Kodiak

High Winds Cause Damage To City Dock Last Night

oCIOllS SuStS OI Wlllu out oA the north last night blew the SS {! Seafair from her moorings at the city dock, taking about 150 feet of the fender piling, string. CTS and deck of the dock with her.
 The Seafair made port Tues day night on her return trip from Anchorage to take on load of 1900 tons of scrap rails. Being moored at the west end of the dock, it had little protec- tion from the wind which blew it out, taking the dock with it. Until survey of the extent of damage has been made by the ARR engineers, no statement will be made by local authori- ties, except that Irwin Dyer, dock agent, believes it will not be "too great"
 Negotiations had just been completed between The Alaska Railroad and the Coastwise Line for payment of slight damages to the dock caused by the Sea- fair when she docked Tuesday. The master of the Seafair, Capt. Watkin, was called out of the theater at about 8:30 pm. when the trouble occurred at the dock.
 Four longshoremen found the accident in their favor, when they found themselves maroon ed aboard the Seafair when she pulled away. They had to re- main aboard, cruising the bay until morning when the ship put in at the Army dock, with their pay doubling itself for an easy nights work.
 The SS Nadina of the Alaska Steamship Company, lying at the east end of the dock, was not disturbed by the gale, as it not only had the protection of the warehouse, but was still carry ing considerable cargo to hold ner QOWn.
 Until the damage is repaired. however, only one ship can be worked instead of the usual two. Repairs will take several days, depending upon the amount of replacement found necessary. Local authorities believe that the main piling and bracing is unchanged, and that only the bay side fender rail, which now hangs about 30 feet out over the water, and a 10-foot strip of the decking will have to be replaced.
 At times during the evening, 2x6 boards 12 feet long, sheets of plywood and tin were seen flying through the air wherever lumber and materials were piled. Although wind velocity was not recorded, Mrs. Tom Howell, To- cal weather buEeau, reported a steady wind of 27 miles per hour before dark last night. It increas- ed during the night, with heavy gusts.
