Make Hif in Seward

Stewards concert-goers were
given a most delightful treat
last evening in the form of a
joint recital, presented by Mr..
Roman Gutenberg, violinist, and
Mr.. Maxim Schapiro, pianist.
Stewards Memorial Church was
filled almost to capacity with
music lovers of all ages, and
they responded heartily to the
program.
Mr.. Totenberg opened the con-
cert with the always lovely Men
delssohn Violin Concerto in E
Minor. Neither profound nor
heavy, it provided a most en-
joyable beginning. Playing a
Stradivarius violin valued at
$4,000, he gave an admirable
demonstration of the depth of
tone which has made them such
priced possessions. From the
melodies of the first two move
ments to the dancing Vivace of
the third, he was always master
OF his instrument.
Mr. Schapiro followed with a
group of piano solos by Bach and
Chopin, and on request, substi-
tuted the Polinaise in A flat for
the Polonise Brillante which was
listed on the program. He show
ed to much greater advantage in
the Chopin numbers, playing the
Polonaise with great flair and
vigor, though with extreme
rapidity.
The first group closed with
violin solos by Mr.. Totenberg,
most of which were familiar to
all present. The artists were both
rather informal and often pre-
faced their numbers with COM
ments concerning either the
composer or the background of
the music to be played.
After intermission each of the
artists played one group. Mr.
Schapiro selected some very diff
ficult numbers by Tschaikowsky,
Ravel and List, which gave evil
dence of his proficiency as a

Seward Fire Dept.
Starts Inspections
As Safety Measure

Members of the Seward Vol
unteer Fire Department will be-
gin an inspection Of business
houses and homes Monday eve
ming.
With the season for high
winds about to begin, the fire
men are particularly concerned
with stove pipes and chimneys
that may not be properly in
stalled, or dangerously close to
inflammable materials.
Rubbish and trash, gasoline
and other combustibles will also
come under inspection.
The Fire Department wishes
to make it plain that this tour
is not to be one of criticism, but
is designed to assist and advise
residents on safety and fire pre-
vention. Every resident of over
one year will readily recognize
the danger of fire during the
windy season, but newcomers
may not be aware of the neces-
sity for careful inspection of
stovepipes and chimneys.

DREN RON SEWARD
CLASSED
IN NEW MEXICO

A newspaper clipping from
the Portales Daily News, Por-
tales, New Mexico, list the two
children of Bill" Terry, former
Sewardites, as foreigners.
According to the article,
SCHOOLS from three foreign
countries r represented by
these four Central Grade School
students" The children are from
Mexico, Canal Zone and Alaska.
The Terry children agree that
the Portales school is much larg-
er than the Seward school and
that it is much cooler in Eskimo
Land than on the broad plains
of the Land of Enchantment.
The article contains a photo
graph of the four foreign" chill
dren. We hope that the teachers
in the Land of Enchantment will
try to make their New Mexico
students realize that Seward,
Alaska, is as much a part of the
United States as Portales, even
though it is a long way off.

Leqion Gives School
Traffic Signs

From now on drivers on Third
and Fourth Avenues will en-
counter a brightly dressed school
girl at the four intersections
surrounding the school grounds.
They will remind each driver
that he is approaching the school
ground and must drive slowly,
not over II miles per hour, and
will politely thank him when
he reaches the end of the zone.
Of course, the little girls are
only painted, but these new
signs are an unavoidable re-
hinder to all passersby, and no
one can be excused on a claim
of forgetfulness when reaching
the school zone.

Aztec Asks For
Telephone
Franchise

VIM. MaXey, president, Alaska
Telephone Engineering Corpora
ton, accompanied by Bob Free
man, asked the City Council in
special session Thursday night
for a franchise to operate a tele-
phone system in Seward.
The franchise as proposed is
for 20 years. "To place, erect,
lay, maintain, operate, repair,
remove or replace in, upon, and
under the streets, alleys, ave-
nues, thoroughfares, public high
ways and public grounds of the
City, poles, conduits, wires, ca
bles and other appliances and
conductors for all telephone and
communication purposes"
Other sections of the proposed
ordinance elaborate upon the
procedure of placing lines, re-
moval for repairs, etc. 1t also
allows for an increase in rates
to allow an 8 per cent return
on the cost value of its property
used in rendering the service.
In arriving at or computing said
net return to which AZTEC shall
be entitled, there shall be de-
Quoted by AZTEC all expenses of
every kind, levies and assess
ments, including city, territorial
and federal taxes.
1t proposes uniform rates for
all telephone service to differ
ent classes of service without
discrimination and without de-
NAL, except for good and suffi-
cient cause. :>
Since the franchise has not
been adopted yet as an ordl-
nance, to be put to a vote OF
the people, it is not published in
full. The Council accepted it for
study by itself, City Attorney
and Utility Board, and consider
ed this as the first reading in
order to expedite action upon
the proposal. Copies are now in
the hands Of city officials and
will be discussed at the next
regular session, Monday, Octo-
Der 23rd.

SOME LUCKY TEACHER WILL
WIN A TRIP TO CUBA

Glamorous adventure during
the Christmas holidays awaits
some fortunate Alaska elemen-
tary or junior-high school teach
er, according to word received
recently in Juneau at the office
of DR.. James c. Ryan, Territorial
Commissioner of Education.
In celebration of the fiftieth
anniversary of the founding of
their public school system the
Ministry of Education of the
Cuban Republic at Havana will
be host for two weeks to one
teacher from each of the 48
states and the territories. This
fine courtesy of our Caribbean
neighbor is in commemoration
of an event of SO years ago when
nearly 1900 Cuban teachers were
given an all-expense summer
course at Harvard University,
including two-Way transporta-
ton on U. S. Navy vessels. Num-
erous eastern cities extended
hospitality to the visitors, the
people of Boston alone subscrib-
ing more than $50 900 for their
food and other expense.
This hospitality is now being
returned to selected U. S. teach
ers. in the form of an invitation
covering expenses from Miami
back to Miami, excursions thru
the island, participation in semi
mars and special lectures at the
University of Havana, and other
entertainment.
Details for the selection OF
the fortunate Territorial school
teacher are being arranged thru
the Alaska Education Associa-
ton, and all teachers in Alaska
will have an equal opportunity
to win.

Cancelled Due
To M. C.. & S.

The sailing of the steamer
Denali 5 pm, today was can
celled as a consequence of the
Marine Cooks and Stewards
Union refusal to comply with
the U. S. Coast Guard screening
program, F. A. Zeusler, execu-
tive assistant to the president of
Alaska Steamship Company, said
in Seattle early this week.
THAT refusal led to suspen-
sion of our passenger service
last week." he said. "The Bar
anof sailed last Friday as an ex-
press freighter with a freighter
complement in all departments.
Yesterday (Oct. 1O) was the
deadline for signing on the
Denali crew before it started
loading. The Sailors Union Of
the Pacific notified us that they
would not sign on with less than
a regular passenger vessel COM
plement.
"We could not accede to this
demand without being prepared
to do SO for all departments af-
fected. We discussed the matter
with union representatives in a
sincere effort to avert a tie-up,
but without success. The Denali
is being decommissioned," Zeus-
Ter said. She arrived in Seattle
from Alaska October 5.
The SUP. supplies IS I'M
licensed deck department per-
sonnet for the Denali as a pas
senger ship, IL as a freighter;
the MC&S have Sc men on as
a passenger ship and 10 as a
freighter. In addition, there r
one pilot, two pursers and two
radiomen less when the Denali
sails as a freighter than other
| wise, making a total difference
of "a. "Now none of these men
will be employed with the en-
forced lay-up of this vessel, an
action we sincerely regret"
Zeusler said.
Last week the Marine Cooks
and Stewards took the position
that they would continue to op-
pose the Coast Guard program
for screening communists and
communist sympathizers from
Alaska ships. This followed
months Of turmoil and confusion
with many passenger vessel de-
lays because of that unions
attitude.
1T was impossible to offer
passenger service under the cir
cumstances," Zeusler said. eve
suspended this service until such
time as the MC&S give us as
surance that they will conform
to the Coast Guard security pro-
gram and promptly furnish re-
placements for men rejected as
poor security risks"

Gen. Walker, 9th Army Commander Killed In Jeep
(By William J. Wauah)

SEOUL, R-Lt. Gen. Walton H. Walker, U. S. Eighth Army commander, was killed almost in- stantly in a head-on collision of his jeep and a truck.
 Walker, fighting protege of the late George S. Patton, Jr., died while enruote to the Western Ko- req front where his forces are bracing against threatening new Chinese Red attack.
 General Macarthur immediate ly announced the selection of It. Gen. Matthew T. Ridgway, the U. s. army deputy chief of staff for administration, as the new 9th Army commander.
 Ridgway, now in Washington, was a pioneer of airborne opera tions in World War II. He planned the first large U. S. airborne as- sault, the l943 attack on Sicily, and jumped with his men in the Normandy campaign.
 He commanded the 82nd Air borne infantry division and the 18th Airborne Comps. .-

Truman Holds Out Hope For Peace

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (R) - President Truman, home for Christmas, holds out hope of "a world that is safe for you and n.y. self, and everybody else to live in."
 He says the American people are "in excellent shape" to meet the challenge of world-commun- ism, as the nation has met every crisis since Washington's time.
 "All we need now is time, and that is what we are fighting for" the President told a hometown audience of Masons, mostly old friends and lodge brothers, last night.
 He unexpectedly spoke out on the world crisis at a dress-suit banquet after flying out of a Washington snowstorm into what he plainly regarded as an atmos- phere of goodwill and unity, quite different from the Washington sharpshooting he is accustomed to.

Xmas Dinner, No Matter What Day

VANCOUVER, B. C. R = An air-age Christmas can be a confus- ing thing, indeed.
 For 36 members of the Unite d States army, it will be a clash be- tween tradition and the quirks of time.
 On their flight from here to Tokyo. the soldiers will put down briefly in the Aleutians, taking off on the morning of Dec. "A. Approximately 30 minutes later they will cross the international dateline and-presto-it will be Christmas Day.
 And because they will be flying westward, gaining time all along, Christmas for them will be a 27- hour affair.
 But one thing sticks to form, Christmas dinner.
 The menu will include: roast turkey with cranberry sauce; Christmas pudding and mince pies. A cocktail will be served to each before dinner.
 
 And that, Santa, is Christmas in the air.

Hoover Urges
 Terrifying America Like Gibraltar

NOutU1OeO 1IO10 rage OuSj can no more reach Washington in force than we can reach Moscow" he declared.
 At another point, he expressed the opinion that the atomic bomb is "a far less dominant weapon than it was once thought to b."
 The only living ex-President, making one of the most important addresses of his long public ca reer, said "It is clear that the United Nations are defeated in Korea"
 It would be inviting another Korea" he declared, to send more troops or money to Western Eu- ropean nations before they had armed themselves as a "sure dam against the Red flood"
 Defense of Western Continental Europe rests primarily on the .Eu- ropean nations themselves, the 76- year-old former Chief Executive told his audiences across the na- ton.
 "We have little need for large armies unless we are going to Eu- rope or China" he said. Land war with the communist masses in Asia or Western Europe would be the graveyard of millions of American boys and would end in the exhaustion of this Gibraltar of western civilization"
 MT. Hoover said Western Euro pean nations should arm them selves with combat divisions of 'thuge numbers" before the United States land another man or an- other dollar on their shores"
 His demand for a new foreign army policy came one day after President Truman named Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower as supreme commander of Western European forces and said additional U. s. troops would be sent there as soon as possible.
 MT. Hoover said his suggested foreign policy would make it pos sible for this country to carry on indefinitely, even if the commun- ists attacked its defense rim.

local business places and industries
suspending activity over the long
holiday weekend.
As usual there will be no mail
deliveries on either town or rural
routes and windows at the post office
will be closed throughout the day.
With the passing of 1850, the
gaiety of the holiday season comes
to a close and the color and cheer
of the Yuletide soon will be absorbed
in the customary rush of everyday
affairs. Christmas decorations will
come down for another year, and the
gaily decked trees will be discarded,
symbolizing the end of another cele-
bration of the community's favorite
holiday season.
Bluffton High and Grade schools
will end their holiday recess next
Tuesday morning, and classes will
reconvene at the college on Wednes-
