F.W. 5. Makes Appeal To Sporfsmen

Make sure you know what you are shooting at before you pull the trigger; don't fire at animals half mile away; don't wound game and then abandon Its trail, leaving it to suffer and die tortuously; these are re- quests from Carlos Carson of the Fish and Wildlife Service.
 A few bear, both brown and blacks, have already been seen out of Information on the Kenai Peninsula and hunters are get ting ready for them. MT. Carson mentioned that although there are no restrictions on bear kill ing in this area except the limit ot two a year on brown bear, 1t was decided at the meeting of the Fish and Wildlife men in February to send out a letter appealing to sportsmen to re- frain from shooting m o t h e r bears with young cubs.
 A true sportsman, according to MT. Carson, is a humane and careful hunter who does not wantonly slaughter game nor carelessly endanger the lives of other people.

Z1-Ton Diesel Arrives For City Electric

The new Elton Fairbanks Morse diesel power engine was unloaded from the SS Susitna today, placed aboard a flat car for delivery to the power plant of the Seward Electric System
 The purchase of the engine was authorized by a vote of the people last year under the rev enue bonds issue for it's pur- chase and for the retirement Of an old REC debt on the original equipment.
 The capacity of the new en- zine is 375 k.w.s which will double the output of power since the original plant was installed.
 A concrete block for the mounting of the engine was poured week ago. AS soon as it has cured, the new engine will be mounted under direction of MT. Null, representative of the Fairbanks-Morse Company, who will put the plant into full oper- ation before it is turned over to the city for operation.

Lutheran Church Has Long History

The Lutheran Church which is to be dedicated Sunday by of- ficials of the Pacific District Evangelical Lutheran Church, has history as old as Seward.
 MT. and Mrs. John Rosness settled in Seward in 1905, at which time they were the only Lutherans, and had no place of worship. They are the oldest members, both in point of resi- dence and time of the present church.
 In 1917, there was a group of 12 to IS Lutherans in this area, among whom were Mrs. Johanna Horton and the Tom Osbo family. At that time this small group

Boy Scouts Busy On City cleon-Up

At almost any hour after school and in several parts of town, it is common sight this week to see a bunch of Boy Scouts working like beavers, raking up and loading trash and winter debris into waiting trucks.
 Some parents have marvelled at the sheer speed of these hard working fellows on other peo- ple's lots when their own back door yards could stand some of the same treatment. However, it was always a real job to clean up your own yard, when "the guys" were having such a good time cleaning the other fellows.
 At any rate, there is a marked improvement in the down town section since last Saturday. This Saturday should see the contin- uation of the cleanup, when the Scouts get into the alleys.
 SeWarditeS are asked not to forget that if the cleanup job looks too big in their own yards, the Scouts are ready to do it for them. Anything you think the job IS worth is to be put into the treasury for baseball and ath- letic equipment, and to help the kids on their uniforms.

4+h of July Picnic To Be Held In Town

The picnic at Bear Lake last year on the day before the 4th of July was such success that the Izaak Walton League of Seward will handle the affair again this year for the Fourth of July Committee. It will be known as the Izaak Walton League Picnic.
 Instead of going out of town, the picnic grounds will be at First Lake in Seward. First Lake, better known as the Swim ming Hole, is on the Park Re serve back of First Avenue, and of easy access to everybody, without the need of cars and

Horbor Dredging Scheduled For This Summer

Mayor Eugene N. Lanier was advised this week that the dredging contract for the Sew ard Small Boat Harbor has been awarded to Munter & Go. of Se- attle.
 No exact date was given as to when the work will begin ex- cept that the dredgers will be- gin work in Southeastern and work north. It is expected to take "about three and a half months" to reach Seward. Local fishermen are not too well pleased at the delay, which will put the dredging into the height of the fishing season. It is acknowledged, however, that nothing can be done about it, as all other harbors will be faced with the same disruption of moorings and it seems to be a matter of luck as to who was to get it first.
 At the hearing April 28, by the US. District Engineer under the Army Corps of Engineers, the fact came out for the first time that only part of the harbor is slated for dredging at this time. It comes under a main tenance clause providing for re- dredging of the old project. Sur prise was expressed by towns men that the contract covers only a little over half of the area in the shelter harbor. A number of petitions and recommendations submitted at the hearing stressed the need of an extension of the breakWater especially on the north side, in order to insure safe harbor in heavy winds.
 When questioned as to the ap- proXimate number of small boats that can be expected to shelter in the harbor over win ter, if the project is approved, the concensus of local opinion, as expressed by D. C. Brownell, was that at least 50 boats would winter here the first year after the shelter is made safe, but that in two years after that time. the number would more than double.
 It is well known that a num- Der of boat owners have ex- pressed the desire to winter in Seward with their families, to take adventage of the school fa- cilities for their children. But heavy seas and high winds pre- clude the possibilities of safety, and only a better breakwater can give the shelter necessary to smaller boats.
 This was only a hearing, and the engineers could give no in- dication of the action that may be taken regarding the recom- mendations of the meeting. It was considered encouraging, however, when Corps of Engin- eers representative in charge remarked that this had been a well informed and highly satis- factory meeting.

kenai Scenic Bus Line Plans Regular Service To kenai

The Kenai Scenic Bus Lines announces a regular schedule of service to Kenai and points north to begin May B, accord ing to Carl Gage, operator, this week.
 Four trips weekly, offering passengers and shopping service, will inaugurate the first all-pen- insula passenger transportation service to Kenai and Homer. Be- cause of the construction on the Sterling Highway, the Homer end of the run will be delayed until after July.
 Two new Pony Cruiser Grey hound type buses are ready to start the service. These buses are the newest type road buses, re- clining seats, air conditioned, IT and 26 passenger vehicles, giving complete riding comfort during the long trip.
 By next year, the company ex- poets to add two more carriers to the fleet and maintain a daily service between Seward and Homer, with one bus based at Homer.
 With the opening of the An chorage-Seward Highway, the Kenai Scenic Bus Lines will schedule a regular service to Anchorage in conjunction with the Matanuska Valley Lines. This is not an amalgamation of lines, but by agreement, the two lines, starting from opposite ends of the run will meet at halfway point and exchange pas sengers. Special Tourist Attractions
 Aside from the regular pas senger service, Gage has ar ranged four sightseeing tours out of Seward for the benefit of round-trip passengers of Alaska Steamship Company. Tour No. 1 is the shortest, covering local points of interest and as far as Bear Lake on the highway.
 No. 2 tour includes Moose Pass and Lawing, with stop over at Alaska Nellie's museum.
 No. 3 tour will go as far as Cooper Landing and Henton's Lodge, which includes the finest scenery on the Peninsula.
 The No. 4 tour will be to Kenai and return. On a clear day, Mt. Iliamna and Mt. Re- doubt are plainly visible across Cook Inlet from the highway, and this section of the tour, be- ing through 25 miles of the Moose Reserve will afford a few thrills to the touring photogra- phers.
 MT. Gage will run two special buses during the 4th of July celebration, giving the Peninsula residents the opportunity to share the exciting Mt. Marathon race and enjoy the Izaak Walton League picnic in Seward.
 At the present time, MT. Gage runs the school bus to Mile 8 and maintains a regular schedule to the Sanatorium of eight trips daily.

First Annual Alaska Terr. EIks Assoc. Convention Underway ].

Tiny" McNamara, president of the Washington State Elks As sociation, arrived in Seward Thursday, as special guest of the First Annual Alaska Territorial Elks Association Convention which opened here at 2 pm. on May 4.
 Eddie Alexander, chairman of the Grand Lodge Activities Com mittee, is expected to arrive some time Saturday.
 Arriving by special train Wednesday night, the 78 officers and delegates, Anchorage AS, Fairbanks IS, Kodiak 12, Cor dova 8, were registered at the Seward Elks Club and assigned lodgings. AS many more are known to be coming in on the Friday boat train.
 The Territorial Association was known as the West Alaska Conference until the convention held last year in Cleveland, o. At that time, the Grand Lodge gave it's approval of an Alaska Territorial Association, which is not under the jurisdiction of any stateside district, but is now an independent association under the Grand Lodge.
 Association officers are Flu gene C. Smith, president; R. T. Thayer, vice-president; E. c. Barber, secretary-treasurer; Max LeLande, w. L. Lhamon, and Louis Odsather, trustees.
 The five Alaska lodges are represented at this first annual convention by the Exalted Ruler of each lodge, as we'll as the elected delegates The Exalted Rulers are:
 Herb Hanson, Cordova Lodge No. 1483; Dan Lhamon, Fair banks Lodge No. 1851; Fred Ak ford, Anchorage Lodge No. 1851; Gene Marian, Kodiak Lodge No. 1772; and Walter Sipprell, Sew ard Lodge No. 1773.
 While Friday is given over to committee meetings, the Sat urday meeting will be open to all Elks.
 Visiting ladies and some dele gates made a motor tour to Moose Pass and Lawing Thurs day afternoon, and attended the Junior Class play at the high school last night. The tea sched- uled for Friday afternoon aboard the SS Baranof will be held at 3:15 Saturday afternoon, the Baranof having been delayed in reaching Seward Elks will have a real shrimp feed tonight and probably some crab meat will find it's way into the dinner, be- cause the Cordova delegation brought load of crabs with them.
 On Saturday night the 11O Seward Elks and their ladies will entertain the convention at the Anniversary Ball to be held in the Civic Center.
 Three Fairbanks businessmen, George Gilbertson of the Pioneer Hotel, Bill Lavery of Alaska Jewellers, and Larry Meath of the Fairbanks Cigar Store, flew down from Fairbanks Thursday in Mr. Gilbertson's Stinson to at tend the convention here. It was the first flight to Seward for MT. Gilbertson but they encoun- tered no difficulties and had a good trip down.
 Some of the visitors are see ing Seward for the first time. Many others have been here be- fore. All agree that for hospi- tality, Seward is wide open town with friendly people.

Uncle Rays Corner

One night a young man was
driving along highway at night.
He was near the end of a 900-mile
motor trip, and with him were his
mother and younger brother.
Seeing a sign, Railroad Crossing
Ahead" he slowed down a little,
but saw nothing when he looked
right and left. Then, a split second
later, there came the wild shrek of
a locomotive. The tracks were
hardly 10 feet ahead, and it was too
late to put on the brakes. The
driver waited for the crash.
No crash came. The shrieking
locomotive was hurtling along a diff
ferent track, one which was parallel
to the road!
That was like waking up from q
nightmare, and finding that a GER
tain danger had been "only a
dream" The incident had a good
result. 1t led the young man to
make a firm resolve that he would
do more than "slow down a little
when he came near railway tracks
in the future.
It is sad, but true, that many
railroad incidents fail to turn out
so well as that one. A friend of
mine, a young scientist, met his
death when his car was struck by
a train. He was driving along a
highway which took a sudden turn
across railway tracks.
Railroad trains have an excellent
safety record for people who ride
on them, but many thousands of
persons have died at so-called
grade crossings" More persons
are killed at railway grade cross
ings in the United States than in
any other country.
That is due partly, but not en-
tirely, to heavy American ~ailWay
and motor traffic. Great Britain
also has heavy traffic, but grade
crossing accidents almost never
happen there. British trains COM
monty have tracks at different level
than the roads. The few single
level crossings in Great Britain are
guarded so closely that accidents
are next to impossible.
Buses have an excellent safety
record and one reason Is the care
they take at railway crossings. It
is required that bus must come
to a dead stop before crossing tracks,
and the driver must look both ways
before he starts to move again.

By Harry Macarthur

There are lot of things money
will do but there is one thing
money will not do. Even lot
of money will not make a good
motion picture out of a dul. and
lifeless script. This is more than
amply proved once again by THE
Outlaw" which finally arrived at
Keith's just in time to top "The
Feuntainhead" as the worst pic
ture displayed around here in
1949.
Howard Hughes spent lot of
money making his widely sensa-
tionalized Western several years
ago, but If he invests his cash
no more wisely in other ventures
he won't be a millionaire long.
What he got here for his outlay
is number of panoramic views
Of the West photographed hand
somely by Greg Toland and in
truded upon by an uninspired
fable about how Billy the Kid
met this girl one time.
To bring life to this tale, Mr..
Hughes hired a pair of acting
novices named Jane Russell and
Jack Beutel. Instead Of endowing
it with life they endow it with
some of the most excruciating un-
intentional comedy of this CEN
tury, either half. Miss Russell and
Mr.. Beutel were no longer new
comers to acting after Walter
Huston and Thomas Mitchell were

Let's mince no words about this,
"The Inspector General" at the
Warner is the new years most
dazzling entertainment.
This one-man comedy triumph
Is the work of Danny Kaye, the
nimblest and most versatile heir
to the great clown tradition.
These are rhapsodic words but
they are the only ones left to a
man under the circumstance of
just having seen the Technicolor
farce operetta which is Hayes
first work under the Warner
Bros. trademark. It is enough to
make one think he should order
a few shares of the stocks which
is a feeling usually reserved to
the rich.
The thing about 1.-THE Inspector
General" a brilliantly vague
adaptation of one Of the classic
slapstick, is that it gives Hayes
style full range. Along the hero's
road from. rags to riches, he
clowns inimitably in pantomime,
monologue ahd a variety of song
which reaches its apex in a one
man quartet programmed as
"Soliloquy for Three Heads"
It is a performance which ap-
parently dazzles Hayes as
sociates as much as it does
audiences which makes 1.-THE In
spector General" just about the
most completely shared enthusi-
asm you will meet In a theater.
These amazed colleagues begin
with Director Henry Roster and
run through a veritable mob Of
gifted fellow actors such as Gene
Lockhart, Elsa Manchester, Walter
Slezak and Alan Hale, to mention
but a few.
Old Nikolai Gogol might not
recognize what Harry Kurnitz,
Philip Rapp and Sylvia Fine have
done to his gay Graustarkian joke
but there is small doubt that he
would be delighted by it.
His Geergi never was funnier
than Kaye makes the illiterate,
timid tramp who through mis-
taken identity becomes a blood
thirsty benefactor of the poor and
tries to live up to his changed
position. It Is a character put to-
gether of a hundred brilliant COM
edy pieces, the best Of them from
Hayes special collection of mad
impulses.
A dozen dramatic stages are
built for his performance, the
postcard town of Brodnia, the
mayors dining room. the village
jail. the town hall, a boudoir in
which he meets the mayors wife
and finally the entire town coun-
Gil. and q barn in which he mi
raculously avoids a magnificent
axe in the hands of an elected
head-hunter.
The action which takes place
in these fairy-tale settings is
wisely left largely to Kaye. No di-
rector ever made a more clever de-
cision or gave a more trustworthy
performer his head. Each re-
sultant scene is kind of comedy
masterpiece, the best of them
those musical interludes in which

Kid. Then it gets Miss Russell
who claims she Is a girl named
Rio who wants to shoot Billy be-
cause he shot her brother. Then
it gets duller and duller as Rio
and Billy battle only they are
really in love and that is all right,
too, because she says she married
him when he was out of his head,
only he doesn't know it so don t
tell him.
No shortcoming Of "The Out

the star displays his repertory
of vocal techniques.
Among the songs Is merry
madrigal which introduces Kaye
as shill in a travelling medicine
show, another in which he does
what should be a finishing
parady in gypsy drinking songs,
and a third in which he sings a
simple love song to the kitchen
maid who looks at him with
reverently romantic eyes. Each Of
these is a gem, but none of them
is the highlight.
This is that "soliloquy for
Three Heads" number In which
three imagined variations of his
personality argue with the real
Kaye how he should conduct him
self as an inspector general. This
is an inspired item and the only
actor who could possibly inspire
it is Kaye.
X X X
One of the surprising incidental
charms of the Warner farce is
that even against such tour de
force as Hayes, a number of in
cidental performances stand out.
Elsa Manchester gives one of these
as the giddy wife of the mayor,
Lockhart as this crafty official,
Hale as the stuffy chief of
gendarmes, Ruth Bates as the
charming kitchen maid, Slezak as
the guileful medicine show pro-
prietor and Rhys Williams as the
real Inspector General.
With Kaye, they set comedy
standard in "The Inspector Gen.
eral" that 1850 is going to have
tough time maintaining.
