Railroad Health Unit To Be In Seward
 For Three Weeks

As has been announced pre- viously, for the next three weeks the Railroad Unit of the Alaska Department of Health will be in Seward. The primary purpose of the unit in this com munity is to bring a sodium fluoride program to the elemen- tary school children in an at tempt to prevent dental carries. All persons over the age of 12 will have an opportunity to re- ceive chest x-ray. This is also an advantageous time for the people of Seward to see the unit, parked near the railroad station, designed primarily to take health facilities to com munities along the "a il b e which have no dentist or phy sician.
 The unit has visited commu- mites with no dental and medi- cal facilities from Nenana to Healy and between Anchorage and Seward since November. The area between Palmer and Healy without physicians and dentists m Il S { be visited by spring. The personnel of the unit will transfer to the Yukon Health, a river barge equipped with medical and dental facili- ties on the Yukon River, soon after the spring breakup.
 The Alaska Dept. of Health maintains five mobile health units, the M. s. Hygiene in Southeastern waters and the Gulf of Alaska, the NV Health in Cook Inlet and the Boring Sea, the Highway unit, and the two units mentioned above.
 Because of the full schedule the unit will spend only three weeks in Seward. It is hoped that at a later date other fea- lures of preventive medical and dental program, such as BCG vaccination, can be made available through the coopera- tion of the local physicians and dentist.

Twenty-nine Cub Scouts and a good representation of parents attended the Cub Scout Pack meeting Sunday evening in the basement of the Episcopal Church.
 The meeting was in the form of a Crusadres Round Table and the boys were all dressed in armor costumes to carry out the motif. Lighting was arranged by K. D. Cobban to give parents a chance to take photos.

Heovy Penalty for Killing Cow Moose

Walter H. Bentz and Arthur s. Pelch appeared in U. s. Com missioner's Court in Seward on Feb. to answer charges on game law violations brought by the local representative of the Territorial Fish and Wildlife Service.
 The two men were arrested in connection with the illegal shoot ing of COW moose at Mile 36 on hte Seward-Hope Highway on Jan. 30.
 Bentz plead guilty to a charge of transportation of big game animal illegally taken. He was fined $100 and given six months suspended jail sentence.
 Pelch, who admittedly did the actual shooting, was charged on five counts, which included talk ing of cow nose in a restricted area, without valid 1949 hunt ing license, transporting of il- legally taken big game animal, and being in possession of big game animal without valid li- cense. He plead guilty on all five counts and was fined $100 on each count and in addition received a six months jail sen tence on the taking of the COW moose.
 The seriousness of the act was evident to all who saw the evi- dence on display in the window of the Seward Hardware store last week. It is almost certain at this time of year that the taking of a COW moose means also the loss of an unborn calf as shown by the evidence displayed.

Seword Water Co. Meefs With City Council

Mrs. Jean Thorne and Frank DeLoughery, owner and mana ger respectively, of the Seward Water Company met with the City Council last night at the re- quest of the Council to discuss the water situation and the pros poets of an increased supply dur ing the coming year
 MT DeLoughery, speaking for the company, agreed that with the increase in the number of users the present supply would soon be inadequate and that the present volume does not at all times meet the demand, and as sured the Council that the com pany has been considering ways to expand the service.
 ''I wish to assure the people," said DeLoughery, that in case of serious fire, the ATEC water supply will be turned into the Clty IldlIlS.
 He was reminded that in such an event it would be necessary to turn off the power wheel at the same time, and he promised to come to an understanding with the power company to that effect.
 The water company, he said, while unable to do little more during the freeze-up than to keep all the water possible in the lines, does promise a defi- nite improvement before next winter, and will submit a pros- pectus to the City Council in two months.

Round n Bout Town
 ---..-..-..--. .---.--. The Rowing Raporter-

Henry LaMotte, we'll known organist and pianist of Mime apolis was in Seward for the Potlatch. In 1945 he took a trip to Alaska and liked it so we'll he decided to homestead near Homer at Anchor Point. Pre- vious to that time he led the orchestra for the Minneapolis Symphony Opera.
 MT. LaMotte played the piano at the March of Dimes dance Saturday night and also at a number of night spots around town during the week end. He had an appreciative audience everywhere.
 This is Boy Scout Week. Sun day night the Cub Scouts had on all their armor. They were dressed as Knights of the Round Table in their advancement ceremony. Pack 327 have their display in Joe Doyle's window.

 Jens Stewart was II years old Friday, Feb. 3, and had II guests at his party. Jens received a lot of gifts and each one of his guests won a prize playing bingo. Ice cream and cake were served, too.
 The March of Dimes dance was huge success. It started off with a display of square danc- ing from second graders on up to adults. Chas. Anderson was in charge of the music and real ly had a snappy band He and Ben Walters played the base drums; Henry LaMotte, the piano; Hubert Linberg, guitar; Bea Davis and Ernie Carlson, the saxophones. Arlee Haynes sang some good intermission numbers. MT. Anderson as an able Master of Ceremonies and folks said it was one of the best dances of the year. The Junior Woman's Club had the hall beautifully decorated in red, white and blue streamers.

cify Council Passes Power Bond Ordinance

EdWarQ Arnell, city attorney, met with the City Council Mon day evening in session which ended at 1:50 a.m., after several items of business had been tabled for a special session be- cause of the late hour. A sympa- thetic citizen supplied two gal Ions of coffee a little after mid night, which bolstered the tired city fathers for another hour of work.
 First on the agenda was the reading and passing under sus- pension of the rules, of Ordi- nance No. 200, providing for the sale of the power bonds, author ized by a vote of the people at the special election of Aug. IS, 1949.
 The revenue bonds have been purchased by Grande & Co. of Seattle, and will arrive in Sew ard for signature within the next ten days, after which work on augmenting the output of electric power by the Seward Electric System will begin.
 An agreement was reached with the city and Northern Com mercial Co.,, Alaskan distribu- tors for Caterpillar grading equipment, to purchase, at the .cost of S13,O00, No. 12 Cater pillar diesel road grader, deliv- cred in Seward.
 After the withdrawal of gov ernment equipment the Street Department has been renting a grader for snow removal and street grading, but all such ma- chinery will be in use during construction season, and all work on local streets would necessarily be hampered by lack of equipment. A used ma chine was offered to the city for the sum of $10,O00, but the number of hours of heavy use discounted it's value as against the additional cost of 5000 for a new machine. The N. C. Go. gave liberal terms for payment which also was considered be- fore concluding the transaction. A down payment of $500O was made witb the order, the re- mainder to be made in four equal payments over a period of two years. The grader is in Se- attle and will be shipped im- mediately.

CEMENT HANDLING PLANT COMING HERE
Contract Signed Assuring Installation

A contract was signed this week between Seward Fish & Cold Storage Company and the Anchorage Sand & Gravel Cor poration to operate the first plant in Alaska to handle the direct shipping of bulk cement.
 Immediate plans call for the installation of a spur track from the main line of the railroad into the property and to the marine ways. Freight cars on the spur will be loaded through a pipe line The bulk cement, aerated by compressed air, is blown through the pipes into steel freight cars, or warehouses, as the case may be.
 The cement will be carried to Seward by the Foss Tug & Barge Company of Seattle in 250 foot steel barges of 13,000 barrel capacity. It is expected that the pump and pipe line will be able to unload at the rate of 15O barrels per hour and that it will take from three and one half to four days to unload a barge.
 The warehouse buildings now standing on the property will be lined, concrete floors laid, and made otherwise adequate for bulk storage. If these facili- ties prove insufficient to handle the volume, steel silos will be set up in the yards.
 The Company has been as- sured of ample transportation facilities to the interior, and there seems to be no reason why this first venture should not be successful one with the coming boom in construction. It is not only the first bulk cement han ding installation in the Terri tory, but also the first big in- dustry in Seward.
 Because of the simplified method of handling, the number of employees will not be so large except during unloading and building, but only local men will be employed.
 The new business will not cause any interruption in the cold storage, fish or locker plant.

Considering this was our first Potlatch and the variety of entertainment offered over a three day period, the public spirited people who donated their time and efforts deserve a lot of credit and thanks. Not only did the visitors have good time, but the Sewardites were out enjoying themselves to the utmost.
 Dickie Paulsteiner was elected president and Marorie Turnbull secretary of the Children's s Bowling League. All children from 8 to 14 years are invited to join. So far they have four teams lined up and after one more week of practice they will have regular scheduled games.
 The children bowl from 9:30 to 12 Saturday mornings. Mae Hoy is the instructor. The Dreamland Bowling Alley has ordered junior sized bowling balls and are allowing the chil- dren to bowl for half price.
 The Seward High School bas- ketball team was in high spirits this morning as they boarded the train for a trip to Anchor age. While there they will play the Anchorage, Palmer and Fair banks teams. They expect to be away about eleven days.
 The cheer leaders and some of the pep squad are leaving Saturday to cheer at the Seward Anchorage games.
