Spectators say that tiny, three
year old Roberta Ann Robin)
Singleton, the flower girl at
the Reed-Daniels wedding last
week almost stole the show.
Dressed in a long gown of
pink organdie, with a coronet
and bracelet of pink rosebuds,
and carrying a basket of wild
rose petals, she solemnly and
thoroughly scattered the petals
before the bridal couple like
a little sprite just stepped out
of a fairy tale.

Governor Gruening Reassures
Construction Of Airport

Governor Ernest Gruening in
a public address Thursday night
to the people of Seward reaSsur-
ed the city of the construction
of the Seward Airport as the
first project of the next building
season.
The Governor addressed the
representative group assembled
in the City Council Chambers,
and answered questions put to
him by individuals. His words
were received politely and with
out any pronounced enthusiasm.
''It was a good speech, said one,
But he didn't say anything
except to pat us on the back.
Considerable qualification was
expressed, however that the
Governor was making a per-
sonal visit to the city.
Tony Schwamm, questioned
more closely concerning the
delay on the airport gave sever
al reasons. One being that legal
entanglements on the property
to be acquired for the site have
been the chief reason for the
delay. AS many as three ease
ments have been given on the
same land, all with the inten-
ton of speeding up the work,
but only creating a hindrance,
the easements dating as far back
as 1885, when the first airfield
was proposed.
Another reason given was that
construction of the airports at
Dillingham; and Ninilchik was
considered an emergency mea-
sure because of the lack of other
means of transportation at those
points. Seward having landing
field of sorts, and the other To-
calities having none, they were
given the priority.
A third reason advanced, was
that the Alaska participation
under the Federal Air Aid Act
requires considerable time for
processing which constitutes an
other time element.
Fourthly, Mr. Schwamm plead
the press of business in his
office. He has been required
to accompany Federal officers
IN q tour of investigation about
the Territory, all of which rea-
sons conspired to push Seward
from its position as third on the
priority list out of the picture
tirely for this year. Mr..
Schwamm, when pressed for a
definite or even an approximate
date for construction, could only
insist the Seward airport will
top the list for the next con-
struction season.

Governor Guest
Of Lions Club

Governor and Mrs. Ernest
Gruening, accompanied by Mrs.
Armstrong, wife of General
Frank Armstrong, Jr., Ben Park
inson, executive vice president
of Coastwise Line, E. A. Gard
ner, Col. j. p. Johnson, Col
Seeman, and 1t. General Will
liam E. Kepner, Chief of the
Alaska Com m n d replacing
General Nathan TWining, with
his party, arrived in Seward
Thursday afternoon.
They were met by Mayor
Eugene Lanier and others, and
conducted to the American Lee
gion Club for cocktails. General
Kepner and the military party
then made a tour of the city
facilities and army installations,
after which they entrained for
Anchorage.
The Governors party with
Mr.. and Mrs. Lanier, Tony
Schwamm, Mrs. Marjorie Meek
and Mrs. Mildred Kirkpatrick
went on to the Leon Urbach
home for an hour. Mrs. Urbach
served hor d'ouerves and cock
tails. They were joined there by
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Erwin and
Mr.. and Mrs. Baird French. The
entire group then adjourned to
Gabe's for dinner, where they
were joined by Mr. Ben Parkin-
son and E. A. Gardner, of the
CoastWise lines.
The Governor was guest Of
honor at the Lions Club Lunch
con today in the Methodist
Church dining hall, where he
again assured the people of
Seward that he can see nothing
but good ahead for the city, He
complimented the town upon its
attitude of progression under the
insecurity and uncertainty of
the railroad support.
Concerning the ARR and the
rumored pulling out of the
Portage-Seward end, he said
that of course military, econ
omic and budgetary measures
must be considered, but, that
the chances look better than
ever before for the continuance
of operation of the southern
end. According to the Governor,
recent substantial appropria.
ton includes the Portage divi
sion for extensive repairs. II
seems highly improbable SC
great an Improvement, at such
cost, would ever be abandoned
From other sources, state
ment was made that S1,70O,O00
has been allocated for rebuild
ing and repairing the Portage
Seward end of the line.

Census Supervisor
Ccmmends Assistants

The biggest census taking JOB
ever conducted in the Territory
of Alaska has been completed.
One year ago the Territorial
office of the Census Bureau was
opened in Juneau. A complete
census of all retail, wholesale,
and service businesses was the
first project undertaken. Figures
on gross sales have been recent
ly published by the bureau
showing the tremendous gains
in all businesses during the past
nine years in the Territory. A
complete breakdown will be
available within the next few
months.
The second project was the
taking of the decennial census
of population, housing, and agri-
culture. Preliminary figure S
have been published indicating
the gains in population during
the past ten years in all areas.
Clarence P. Heating, Territor-
ial Supervisor, Bureau of the
Census, has publically expressed
his gratitude for the excellant
cooperation given to the census
program in Alaska. To the emu
merators, crew leaders, clerks,
and divisional supervisors whose
combined efforts put us over
the top. Alaskans can feel proud
of their efforts
! Mr.. Heating expresses thanks,
also, to all federal, territorial
and municipal agencies whose
voluntary assistance was "be-
yond narrative descriptions" to
the newspapers and radio sta
tions in the territory for their
assistance in keeping the public
informed of all phases of the
| program THE final results of
the census, the speed in which
it was completed, and the re-
Spouse by the public were, in
the main, the result Of the press
and radio participation" Keat-
ing stated.
During the past four weeks
Mr.. Heating has been assigned
to the Washington, D. C.. office
making the experience gained
during this census available for
future bureau activity in the
Territory. He was unsuccessful
in an attempt to have the bureau
establish a permanent office in
Alaska, however, being advised
that such a development could
not be hoped for until statehood
is granted to Alaska.
The final preliminary figures
as submitted to the Washington
office show the population by
judicial division as follows:
First Division, 1000: Second
Division, 1857; Third Division,
$4,000; Fourth Division, 1862;
making a grand total of 131 ,O99.
AS several hundred individual
reports have been turned in to
the Washington office for per-
sons enumerated in the States,
the final official total should
be approximately $4,000. This
total will then be within 5000
Of the estimate made several
months ago. Il

Dear Sir:
In our Boy Scout work we
are studying about Alaska. We
would like to know about the
Indians and Eskimoes of Alaska.
Would it be possible for you
to send us a small totem pole
and explain what it means. We
also would like a small doll
dressed like an Eskimo and a
doll dressed like the Indians of
Alaska dress. And we would
like to have a small mastadon
ivory elephant or some small
article made out of mastadon
ivory.
We live right on the Mexican
border and our troop will be
glad to send you something from
Mexico in exchange. We want
to make a small exhibit of Al
aska for our Scout house.
We know that you are busy
but if you can help us we will
be grateful. 49,.
Sincerely,

They take turns playing Billy
the Kid in Hollywood and this
season it is Audie Murphy's role.
He does not do the character any
harm in 'The Texas Kid" at the
Columbia Theater and it might
do some good for his career as an
actor. After all, Audie is a Texas
kid himself and any Texan will
tell you there are no others like
these.
Universal international is the
studio sponsoring the Murphy YER
sion Of baby-faced William Bon
ney's story. It takes no liberties
with the Hollywood treatment Of
the legend, that Billy was just a
wonderful boy whose life was de-
voted to shooting his way out of
bad company.
He began to run into these dis
illusioning humans when he was
IL and by the time Pat O'Hara
shot him to death at 81, he had
killed 81 Of them. HIS biography
always leaves the spectator feeling
that if Billy had remained alive
a few more years, he would have
wiped out all sinners west of the
Mississippi.
The producing studio this time,
just like its predecessors, feels
nothing is too good for the Kids
story. The production is as fancy
as today's prices justify and the
cast includes some high-priced
players in character roles. The
top crust Of these is represented
by Albert Decker and Shepherd
Strudwick. The girl whose piano
playing has Billy looking wistfully
in at a series of windows is Gale
Storm.

The Junior Women's Club
banquet held last Friday eve

packed with fun for all who
attended. The evening was high
lighted with skit by five mem
bers of the club, Meeting of the

laughing through the entire
skit.
With Elsie Whitmore as toast
mistress the entertainment was
continuous. Phyllis Baker was
scheduled to give vocal solo,
but due to cold she played sew
eral piano selections instead.
After hearing Phyllis renditions
Gwen Cobban said she wouldn't
be caught dead near the piano
for her numbers, so she substi-
tuted with a fish story in
poetical form.
Edith SINNERS secretarial re-
port was also given in verse,
which was very cleverly pre-
sented. Mrs. Skinner also stole
the show in the skit.
Officers for the coming year
were installed by the outgoing
officers. Those in command next
year are president, Gwen Cob

gington: secretary, Bertha Lew
is; treasurer, Georgia Gordon;
reporter, jeanne Lind; historian,
Elsie Whitmore.
Jerry Moves, outgoing presi-
dent, was presented with a gift
of thanks from the club.
The decoration committee
evidently worked very hard in
their preparations for the ban
quet. The tables were laid in
criss-cross fashion with center
piece of ship on blue waves
of crepe paper Programs were
in the form of ships log and
nut cups were made into tiny
sailboats. Lighted candles rep
resented light houses above the
blue water.
After the turkey dinner the
guests were asked to enjoy the
evening in dancing.
