The draft registrar in Seward received word this week from Terry Fillingim and Jack Hoog- land who went Outside a few weeks ago, that they both lost their wallets and need new reg iStration cards. They did not state how they happened to lose their wallets.
 Losing draft registration card seems to be a habit among Seward boys. LeRoy Borders also wrote that while crossing a creek on a log, he fell in and his wallet was soaked so badly that his card was destroyed.
 Duplicate cards cannot be supplied locally, but must be obtained by request from the Selective Board No. 1 in An chorage.

Repoir Raffs On First Lake

Dick Beissner and Jim Kirk patrick repaired the rafts or floats on the First Lake swim ming hole last week. They re- placed the oil drum floats with logs so that target shooting youngsters can no longer shoot the drums full of holes, allow ing the rafts to sink.
 It has been suggested that to raise the level of the lake would provide longer gentle slope of shallow water for the small children to play in. The boys are looking into this possibility.
 It has been observed that more mothers are accompanying their little ones to the pool for afternoon swimming parties. The water has been very warm during the past week and many have enjoyed the swimming there.

Two Planes Cracked Up In Resurrection Pass Sunday

Keith Lenhart and Tiny Ira kowski were flown into Seward unhurt today by Everett Skinner after he received word from Sidney Stephans that the two were waiting at Whitey Smiths cabin for transportation into town.
 One plane, a Cub J-5, cracked up Sunday with Lenhart and Stephans. Trakowski went after them on Monday in a Taylor craft belonging to George Lind of Seward, but it too was crack ed up on the take-off from the cabin strip.
 Stephans made his way into town on foot where he notified Gordon Black at the airport, and this morning Skinner and Black went out to bring the other two men in.
 No one was hurt in the two crackups, although the Taylor craft received fairly extensive damage. The Cub was damaged in the landing gear, but only slightly. Skinner stated that Ira kowski had been unable to take off because of debris on the ground. It could not be learned here how Lenhart had happened to land at the cabin or how he cracked up the J5.
 Whitey Smiths is trapper's cabin about 10 or 12 miles up the pass. Mir. Smith now lives in town, but the cabin is land mark for hunters, who often use it during the moose season. The walk to town is a rough and long one.

Senffs Enferfoin
 1850 Fourth of July Committee

MT. and Mrs. Mamie Senft entertained the 1850 Fourth of July Committee at their home on the highway last Sunday.
 Hot dogs, fresh cucumbers and home grown tomatoes and straw berry shortcake filled the guests to repletion. The most popular spot for camera fans was the green house where huge ripe tomatoes hung so heavily on the vines that they had to be propped up. The largest of the lot, when Mrs. Senft pulled 1t to slice for the party, weighed two pounds. Many passing mo- torists stop to photograph the unusual sight of ripe tomatoes in Alaska.
 Ten and twelve inch cucum- bers. growing in the green house also attracted much attention from vegetable hungry guests.
 Several fishing rods were put to use, but only a few anglers were successful, although large numbers of salmon and dollies were plainly flirting in the creek that runs through their back yard.
 Mrs. Senft's beautiful flower garden was also the subject of many snap shots and the family of Manchester Terriors were very popular as entertainers at the party,
 At 800 o'clock in the even ing, MT. Senft showed four reels of movie film of Mexico, Flori- da, Canada and of the 4th of July celebrations for the past two years, in the American Le- zion Club where there is pro- jector and screen. Other towns people who are known to have slides and movies of the cele- bration were invited by radio to bring them to the showing, but no one could be located who was able to attend. It is planned that at a later date, all the locally owned pic lures, both movie and still, may be gathered in one place for g public showing.

Mrs. Grueniing Recommends L. Of W. V.

Communications from Mrs. Ernest Gruening eXpre SSec her recommendations for one or more units of the League of Woman Voters in Seward. Mrs. Gruening talked extensively on the subject while she was a wis itor here and has since contacted Mrs. w. C. Erwin and Mrs Mil dred Kirkpatrick on the subject.
 The League is entirely non- partisan. It promotes study of government from the municipal body to international situations, and encourages intelligent vot- ing by acquainting women with every situation.
 The unit plan means that, in- stead of following the old pat tern of meeting with speaker" doing all of the talking, and the League members sitting passive ly as an audience, there is no one speaker, there is an active discussion in which everyone joins. Taking part in this pro- cess of talking over govern mental problems helps each member to think about the is sues objectively, and to learn to express herself about them. She comes to base her opinions less on prejudice and more on facts.
 The important thing is that all the members should be abreast of the whole program, local, state and national. In order to do this and to be prepared for eff fective action, when the time comes, the work of the units should be so planned that they are all discussing the same sub- jects at approximately the same time. The more the program is taken out to the member at the place where it is easiest for her to take part, the nearer we shall come to making our goal of all member activity a reality, the communication stated.
 Each unit needs chairman, who may or may not be the dis cussion leader, a resource per son, and someone to take notes, keep records of attendance, and handle the sales of League pub lications. The leader may or may not be the same person al each meeting, although it is de sirable to have the same discus sion leader through a year il possible.
 A discussion unit may consist of about fifteen or twenty mem bers of the League.
 In order to organize a League or a unit of the League in Sew ard, any women interested should contact Mrs. Hazel Erwin or Mrs. Kirkpatrick, neither o1 whom is in a position to assume the leadership, but they will as sist in forming a group if some woman will volunteer as a leader.

Eastern Star Official Being Entertained

Mrs. Abble Hanson, M Ost Grand Worthy Matron of the Ma tional Grand Chapter, Order of Eastern Star, is visiting Seward this week. In addition to observ- ing the exemplification of the ritualistic work of the Order here she will spend the remain der of the week resting before continuing on her tour of the Territory and return to the States, and her home in Ham, mond, Indiana. Mrs. Hanson is accompanied by her husband, who is affectionately known as Brother Jake" wherever they go.
 A banquet in honor of the Most Grand Worthy Matron will be held Wednesday night in the parish hall of the Episcopal Church, followed by an hour of music at the Masonic Temple.
 The Hansons have been en- tertained since their arrival Sunday by members of Seward Chapter. They had a drive to Moose Pass and Lawing Sunday and dinner at Gabe's. Breakfast Monday at the home of the Ma tron and Patron of Seward Chapter, MT. and Mrs. Tom Howell
 Luncheon on Monday at Jesse Lee Home was an entertaining experience for the visitors. MT. and Mrs. Charles Lechner had them as dinner guests Monday evening. MT. and Mrs. Phil Harding entertained them at breakfast Tuesday, and officers of Sc ward Chapter held a luncheon at the home of the HoWells.
 Bob Stearns will treat the visitors to a fishing trip on l NeSuIISCtlOll ooy III AAio N~~o' l Wednesday, and the rest of the. week will be spent fishing on Russian Lake with Phil Harding. They will leave Saturday for Valdez and Cordova.
 Mrs. Hanson stated that be- fore planning her trip she was advised in Washington that it would not be wise to travel to Alaska at this time, that she might be "bumped'' off planes and ship reservations would be hard to arrange. She insisted on following her plans to make her visit this year, however, and has met with no difficulties whatsoever in transportation. She remarked that she has found Alaska and Alaskans very cordial and living conditions much different than what she expected. Folks back in Indiana have the idea that this is land of ice and snow, and Mrs. Han son will prove a good ambassa- dor for Alaska.

he needed was a shock treatment.
What he needed was a charade.
When she had finished rowing
madly in Jerry Pitman's most ex-

silence built up in the small audi

in her body, Nola slipped back to
her chair. Jerry was staring at her,
