The G.adGs Roele4
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

If you have been wondering where your 2 per cent sales tax is going, just take a look at the school budget for next year. The city council protested it, but MT. Carlson insists that it is necessary, every penny of it. Certainly the high cost of living is evident in the high cost of ed ucation, in Alaska anyway, and if it were not for the sales tax, one wonders whether MT. Carl son and the school board would have found it an impelling ne cessity to engage two janitors, two principals, clerical help, etc. When you really ponder it, just what would have happened to the school program without the tax?
 Based upon the present school population, and community population of an estimated 5000, the figures show that it will cost SNSly "olllStll CallNA SlliANA III Seward $34 each next year to meet school expenses. That is pretty steep.
 All our dreams of a new high school building, gymnasium or swimming pool will have to be stored in mothballs until some future date when the city's eco- homie condition can stand for the added expense.
 One cannot blame the school authorities for being ambitious for their program. Seward schools are known to be first class, so much so that number of children from the islands are sent here to take advantage of the system.
 There is such a thing as living beyond ones means, however, and we can only hope that the next budget will be little more conservative.

Sunny C? California

May 2, 1850 Editor:
 I received my copy of your Aprll 18 paper today, and having more than a casual interest in Seward and some of the residents, I read it from column 1, page 1, to column ,, page 4, as usual. April IA issue arrived yesterday.
 Under the heading Round IN Bout" it said. "The boss is laid up, and the printers devils put out the paper today" We'll, I don't wish the "boss" any hard luck, but. as I read on through the paper I decided it was a darned good issue. Maybe "the boss" should take five" more often!
 Being somewhat of a newspaper person myself, q sometimes sweep the floor in the office of one) I was particularly interested in the Cradle Rockers" column of that issue on the woes besetting those attempting to complete a quota on the Red Cross drive It might be most interesting to Mrs. Kirkpat- rick to know of some of the ex- periences our Red Cross chairman has had this year, such as not find- ing anyone to consent to conduct the drive until it should have been completed. But, in spite of all the obstacles. the organization carries on through the support of those who, perhaps, have known of the good that has been accomplished! Maybe they themselves have bene- fitted at some time! Who knows when it will be their turn?
 Did you notice that my letter was headed Sunny CD" Califor- mia? Don't tell our Chamber of Commerce that I told you-maybe you should bar this issue from Outside Mail, but it showed here on Easter! And we are only few miles from the desert. For the past two weeks it has been cold! Cloudy! Gloomy! Fire in the fire place, wearing a sWeater-brrrrrr. Say. can anybody tell us how far it is to Sunny California? or is It more pleasant in Seward?

FOLLOWING are the teTts of the
Army, NaDy and Air Force state
mentS on the decisions for i'm
!, mediate recall OF limited 7lnnl-
]. berS of reserUe personnel:
Implementing presidential au-
thorization for recall of Reserve
military personnel to meet the needs
of the Korean situation. the United
States Army and Air Force today
announced that they will initiate
Immediately a limited recall of Re-
serve personnel
Return of officers to active duty,
whether on. voluntary or involun-
tary basis, will be in Reserve grades
now held and in Immediately usable
skills.
Reserve officers of field grade now
serving on extended active duty in
an AUS or AFUS grade lower than
their reserve grade will be consid-
cred for promotion prior to any
general recall of reserve officers of
that grade to extended active duty.
Certain specialists may be required
in the field grades. In addition, all
officers assigned to units called to
active duty will be ordered in the
grade held With the recall of re-
serve officers of company grade,
their contemporaries, many of whom
are now serving on active duty in
a lower grade, progressively will be
considered for promotion.
Enlisted reservists will be recalled
in the numbers and skills required,
for year or more, and will be re-
called in the Reserve grade now
held.
1t is the intent of the Depart
ments of the Army and Air Force
to permit all Reserve personnel or
dered to extended active duty to
complete a minimum of one years
service.
Greatest current need for officers
in the Army is for medical officers,
and for Corps of Engineers and in
fantry officers in company grades.
Enlisted reserviSts most urgently
needed by the Army are airborne-
trained personnel, electronic, tank,
and armament maintenance perSon-
mel, certain military intelligence,
medical, communication, and wire
maintenance technicianS, as we'll as
certain engineering and construc-
ton specialists in landing-cr op-

Ltion.

Air Force officer requirements for
individuals at the present time are
predominantly in the grades of cap
tain and. lower However, certain
critical specialtieS, as well as Off
GERS who may be called to duty with
their units, will be required in other
grades.
Air Force Reserve officers and air
men, as well as former enlisted per-
sonnel of the Air Force not active
in the civilian component of the
Air Force, who have special military
skills, may still volunteer for one
year term. of active duty with the
Air Force through normal recruiting
and reserve channels.
Greatest current need for Air
Force officers is for those who have
been trained as navigators, bonn
bardierS; communications radio and
radar specialists; medical and den
tai officers, weather specialists and
armament officers. There is also a
requirement for a smaller number
of officers in most other categories.
Airmen whose specialties are most
urgently required include those with
experience as aircraft and engine
mechanics, radar and radio special
lists, communications personnel,
armament specialists, and personnel
of the medical fields. AS with Off
Ger requirements, a smaller num-
Der of airmen are also required in
other fields.

cerning recall OF ReserUiStS reads:
Presidential authority has been
granted to effect involuntary recall
of Naval Reservists and Fleet Re-
Servists to active duty to meet ap-
proved increased personnel ceilings.

munity welfare would be seriously
affected.
Applications for voluntary recall
to active duty, as previously an
nounced, will still be accepted from
male officers and from male and
women enlisted Naval ReservistS for
a minimum period of one year. In
addition, the Navy will now accept
applications for a minimum period
of one year active duty from Wave
Reserve officers in grades of lieu
tenant commander and below.
The grades and categories of both
officer and enlisted personnel who
are recalled will be dictated by cur
rent and prospective needs.

Czech Girls Victory
Prevents Skating
Sweep by U. 5.
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Mar. 9.-Europe,
which always has had at least one
world figure-skating champion,
will continue its unbroken string
another year thanks to graceful
Ala Vrzanova.
The beautiful 19-year-old Czech
girl won the women's title last
night to thwart a clean sweep by
the United States in the three-day
world championships.
The American team fell one
short. Masterful Dick Button of
Englewood, N. j., and Harvard
lived up to his reputation as the
worlds greatest male skater by
winning the mems title for the
third straight year.
Seattle's Kennedy youngsters,
Karol and Peter. won the pairs
championship, the other title in
competition. Button and the
Seattle duo triumphed during the
first two days.
Smooth skating Mile. Vrzanova
repelled four-pronged American
threat with an ease not indicated
by her slender winning margin.
The European beauty finished IA
points ahead of Jeanette Altwegg,
the British champion, and 20 in
front of Yvonne Sherman of New
York.
Sonia Hopper of Brooklyn
placed fifth. Virginia Baxter of
Detroit eighth and Andra Nc
Laughlin of Colorado Springs 11th.
All three showed better from in
free skating than in compulsory
figures.
The lively. dark haired Miss
Sherman always was close but
never in front of the poised Czech
champion. Mile. Vrzanova gave a
graceful display of free skating.
Mile. Vrzanova scored 1,359.16
points, Miss Altwegg, 1851, and
Miss Sherman, 1,330.58.
With the Olympic Games only
two years away, most of the con-
testants indicated they will re-
main amateurs. Previous cham
pionships have fed to the pro-
fesisonal ranks such stars as
Norway's Sonia Henie and Can
ada's Barbara Ann Scott.

Gu. and Virginia Ring
Squads Are Flying
To Syracuse Meet

Catholic U. and Virginia ring
men joined forces today for a
plane trip to Syracuse where
they'll compete in the Eastern
intercollegiate Boxing Association
tournament tomorrow and Satur-
day, but it was to be every man fol
himself once they reached their
destination.
Both coaches, Eddie La Fond OF
c. U. and AL York of Virginia
had hopes of surprising more
highly regarded opponents in the
battle for team honors. La Fono
had one defending champion in
125-pound Tommy Cronin and q
couple of dark horses who would
pull the crown his way. York has
two defending title-holders, Al
Hollingsworth, 130, and Grover
Masterson, 1876, plus small stable
of potential upsetters.
The rugged two-day grind will
separate the men from the boys
and the host Syracuse team, with
two defending champions and
runner-up, shapes up as the pre-
meet favorite. One champ, jim
Roller, 165-pound kingping, was
held even by Billy Maher Of c. q
in a dual meet won by Syracuse
and on the strength of that per-
formance La Fond believes his
man has a good chance for the
title.
Virginia's AL Hollingsworth, who
won the 130-pound laurels, later
lost a decision to Jack Redmond
of c. U. in dual match and there
is a possibility that they'll meet
again in the final. If it happens
both La Fond and York look fol-
one of the best bouts of the tour
nament.
Joe Incarnato will be c. US
challenger for Masterson's title
The Curley, 145-pound champ last
year, dropped down to 1875 pounds
to win the nod over Incarnatc
this year and If the Syracuse
ringman stays at the weight he'll
be bad news for all the boys.
Catholic is sending no 145-
FOUNDER to the tournament, but
La Fond believes the Cards have
a fighting chance in every other
division. Cronin has lost only one
bout in two years, and then went
out of his class to lose that one
Maher is unbeaten since losing to
Roller in his first scrap last year

Job Outlook Better

New York City (ILNS)-High
school graduates this year who
want jobs will benefit from the re-
cent gains in the general employ
ment situation, which now is fair
ly good" the Youth Forum under
the sponsorship of the New York
Times was told.
Robert c.. Goodwin, director of
the u. S. Bureau of Employment
Security, u. S. Labor Department,
was the guest of Dorothy Gordon,
moderator Of the forum, together
with 6 New York high school SEN
iors who already are employed.
AS jobs in which high school
graduates currently will find the
greatest opportunities, Goodwin
listed the following: hospital work,
such as nurses aides; doctors and
dentists assistants, stenographers
and typists, and semi-skilled work
ers in industry. He warned stud
ents away from "stubbing their
toes" on the so-called glamour
job" fields, where, he said, oppor-
tunities are limited and the pay
often is less.
Goodwin said that, after the
alarming recession" of the last
year or two, the general employ
ment situation in the last few
months "has reversed the trend for
the first time in several years"
When a student asked, as the stu
alton better outside New York 2"
Goodwin replied: "Not many areas
are enough better to warrant my
recommending that you m V e
there"
