Errands of a Doctor

DR.. William MacNider's wife
and daughter were out Of town
with the family car for part of
the week, and Wednesday morn
ing a friend telephoned that she
would come by and take him to
his laboratory on the campus.
The doctor was waiting for her
at the gate, and his arms were
laden, mostly with papers and
magazines. He appeared to be
ready to go, but he was not quite
ready after all; he had to busy
himself under the elm tree for a
minute, to gather up several
bouquets.
"I'll have to ask you to make
two or three stops" he said as
he entered the car.
The first stop was at Miss
Mary Manning's where Mrs.
Cummins Mebane has an apart

10 Philips was on the roof of
the University power plant at
the west end Of Cameron avenue
last Friday morning. He was
working on a contract that had
been let to the company in which
he is associated with his father
in-law, Irl Summerlin. His i'm
mediate job was lowering a
steam vent from the roof. His
helper was Major Mason, a Ne
gro who does various jobs in and
around town in the intervals of
his farming. Major is a name,
not a military title.)
An electric storm broke.
Thunder roared and lightning
flashed. A. binding flash off to
the west was accompanied by the
vicious cracking noise of a
stroke. Presently a cloud of
smoke arose, and amid the
smoke, flames could be seen.
That's over toward your
house, Major" said 10 Philips.
1T must be my house," said
Major. There's not any other
one there"
1t was a house on the Berry
hills farm, in which Major was
a tenant. When he got there the
who's house and everything in It
Ind been destroyed by fire.
Majors wife, like him, had been
away at work when the light
ming struck. They were married
about six months ago. They had
bought about $500 worth of fur
Hiture on the installment plan
and still CO aa0Q on il Tkars

The Berryhills and the Sum-
merlins have found temporary
quarters for the couple and are

gratefully received and well used.

FIRE DEPARTMENT TO PUT
ON SHOW FOR FOURTH

Camera fans are warned to
have full load of film on hand
for the Fourth of July, and to be
sure to save some for the show
to be given by the Volunteer
Firemen. We don't know just
where the impromptu show will
occur, because it is a secret.
In 1913 the firemen put on
. such a good comedy that many
watchers regretted having no
pictures. Those who saw the
show that day will be eagerly
watching this year, and there's
no doubt that it will be worth
watching.

P-TA HOT LUNCH PROGRAM
SET FOR COMING YEAR

The PIT. A. hot lunch commit
tee, which has been busy ever
since school vacation started,
has received answers to their
letters to schools in Wasilla,
Palmer and Anchorage where
hot lunch programs are in effect.
The letters answered specific
questions asked by the commit
tee and gave valuable Informal
ton about the equipment and
stock required to set up the pro-
posed program here.
In order to raise the $500,
which is the minimum required
to get the program into opera
ton, the committee has decided
to hold merchandise party on
the evening of July 81. After the
program is started, it is expected
that it will defray it's own ex-
penses.
The initial outlay is needed
for the plates, silverWare, pots
and pans, an electric oven, and
the first order of groceries.
The selection and hiring of
cook for the hot lunch program
will be decided upon at the next
meeting of the committee this
coming Monday.

An Open Letter
To Governor
Of Alaska

Honorable Ernest Gruening,
Governor of the Territory
of Alaska,
Juneau, Alaska,
Dear Governor Gruening:
Late in 1949 Seward was high
on the list of proposed new air
ports in Alaska. In fact, Mr..
Tony SchWamm made the state
ment that the Seward airport
would come ahead of that for
Dillingham;.
The Governor himself, prom
ised Mayor Eugene Lanier in a
telephone conversation that the
Seward field would be COM
pleted this summer.
Yesterday, word was given
from Mr.. SchWamm' office that
the engineering survey has been
halted because of the lack of
money for the Seward airport.
This, Mr.. Governor, is incred-
ible. 1t cannot be that once
again Seward has been given
the run-around We feel that the
report from Mr.. Eyinck must be
mistake. The economic condi-
ton of this city depends largely
upon the airport. 1t has been
promised for this year by every
authority concerned.
Your many friends in Seward
and the Kenai Peninsula refuse
to believe that funds can not be
made available to fulfill prom
Uses of your offices and to main
tain the good will and faith of
the people of Seward and the
Kenai Peninsula. ....
Very sincerely yours,
Editor, Seward Record.

A map of the Seward Sana-
forum is being furnished the
Seward Voluntary Fire Depart

names of the occupants will be
listed on the map for reference
in case of a fire in that area.
Murl Trevethan, acting fire
chief in the absence of Fred
Kielcheski who is on vacation,
together with Ray Lee went out
to the Seward Sanatorium last
week and mapped the locations
of all the fire hydrants out there.
There has been no such informal
ton on file with the Seward Vol
unteer Fire Department previ-
Ously.

Fire Hazards Being
Eliminated BY
City Of Seward

A report on Seward from the
Board of Fire Underwriters of
the Pacific was received recent
ly by Mayor Eugene n. Lanier.
The report, a result of survey
taken by representative of the
underwriters last summer, pulls
no punches in pointing out the
fire hazards in Seward, and
makes several specific recon-
mendations for improvement.
Some of the obvious faults al
ready have been, Or are in the
process of being, remedied.
These include the new fire hall
(the old fire hall was still in use
at the time of the survey, and
more thorough and regular train
ing of the firemen. Also, 1900
feet of new hose has been or
dered and should be here any
day now.
The report raps the antiquated
building code of Seward and es-
pecially the lack of building in
spections within the city.
Seward officials and the fire
department are studying the re-
port carefully.
Despite the obvious need for
Improvement, it is believed by
the Seward Fire Department
members that this is the best
equipped town for its size in
Alaska. If the recommendations
by the underwriters are follow.
ed, Stewards fire proof rating
will go up, the fire insurance
rates will go down. and our
town will be a much safer place
in which to live.

CALVES ALONE!

Let's pretend that you are
mother moose. Father moose,
after typical moose fashion, has
left the raising of junior strictly
up to you and isn't around to be
of any help at all. There is no
such thing as moose baby
sitter. You just do the best you
can by yourself.
You keep baby with you most
of the time, but there are times
when you want to 60 eat some
of that succulent shrubbery in
the swamp, but it is no place to
take a wobbly calf Sometimes
baby is tired and wants to sleep,
but you are hungry and need to
eat. So, in each of these cases
and in other similar cases-What
can you do?
Following moose nature, you
bed baby down in a secluded
spot, warn him to stay put and
know that he will because baby
moose are obedient, and go off
for an hour or two to feed by
yourself. You have to eat a lot
to satisfy your own needs and
nurse that growing moose child.
Now suppose that you return
to where you left your calf, but
he isn't there. You sniff around
frantically. Where is that child?
You haven't smelled any bear
in the vicinity. Suddenly, just as
bad, you catch a Whit of human
scent People have been there
and have kidnapped your baby!
You can't know that the peo-
pie, catching sight of that home
ly, trusting calf of yours, decided
that you must have abandoned
him. They carted him off and
will try to raise him on bottle.
If they succeed, your baby will
