~Perpe+ucfe Name Of
r. G. Ingram

The name of the late R. c.
Ingram, who made his home
in Seward for many years as
resident engineer for the Bureau
of Public Roads in charge of
road work in the Chugach Ma
tional Forest, will be perpetual
ed in the official naming of the
stream formerly known as
Quartz Creek, which crosses
the Seward-Hope highway and
flows into Turnagain Arm, as
Ingram Creek.
The other Quartz Creek which
crosses the Cooper Landing road
near the northwest end of Kenai
Lake, will remain Quartz Creek
by official designation. There is
a substantial summer colony of
fine cabins on this stream.
The entire length of the Yu-
kon, including the Lewes River,
will be designated as the Yukon,
according to the decision of the
same U. S. Board of Geographic
Names. The name Lewes River
was formerly applied to the
upper course of the 1900 mile
river, heading in March Lake in
the Yukon Territory.

Reconstruction of
Seword-Hope Rood
Open For Bids

The Highway Department an
nounced last week that begin
ming Nov. /, bids will be adver-
tised for the reconstruction of
the highway between Seward
and Mile So to connect with the
Turnagain Arm road.
This has been a subject of
concern for Seward for the past
several months since the old
road through Chugach Forest,
particularly the missing link"
section, is obviously unfit for
heavy freight traffic.
1t is expected that much of
the picturesque qualities of the
old road will be sacrificed for
S safety. Much speculation is
heard as to the changes to be
made in the Lakeview section
from Snow River Bridge to Law
ing, where the road clings pre-
cariously to the side of the cliff
along Kenai Lake, and which at
present glaciers" dangerously
in the spring and fall.
900 has been appropri-
ated for this work on the recon-
mendation of the Department of
Defense, which has accelerated
the construction which ordinari-
ly would come under the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Forestry
Division. All past efforts to OBJ
tain the funds from that divi.
sion for this vital highway link
have been futile because of its
restricted funds.

Revise PcrceI Post
Rates to Alosko

Air parcel post rates from the
continental United States to
points in Alaska will be revised
effective November l, with the
eighth zone rate applying be-
tween all points in the States
and Alaska, regardless of dis
lance.
The same rate will apply for
parcels sent from Washington,
D. G. to Anchorage as for par
cells sent from Washington to
Seattle.
The Post Office Department
has stated that Gin the near flu
ture the Department will issue
zone charts, zoning the Terri
tory of Alaska with respect to
the continental United States.
This will place a number of
points in Alaska in a lower zone
with respect to certain parts of
the U. S., particularly points in
southeast Alaska with respect
to points in Washington and
Oregon. The lower zones will
apply to both surface and air
parcel post and, in many in
stances, will result in lower
pOstal charges,

Local Cannery Alaska
Packer Of Pet Food

According to a release from
the Fish and Wildlife Service
the canning of fish by-products
for cat and dog food has become
an important industry. The 1949
pack of 1,931,757 standard (43
one pound cans) is an increase
of as per cent in volume and "a
per cent in value over the pre-
vious year and was the largest
and most valuable pack in his
tory.
According to the Service over
46 per cent of the production
was canned in California while
the major portion of the remain
der was packed in Maine and
Massachusetts,. In addition, New
York, Maryland, Virginia, Wash
ington and Alaska have one pro-
cessing plant each.
Marvin Viale of the Resurrec-
ton Bay Co. in Seward, says
that he has been reporting his
pack of cat" salmon since 1916.
Since the Service reports only
n professor in Alaska, it is
assumed that the Seward firm
must be the only one in Alaska
packing fish by-products for pet
food.

We hear that Casey Cobban
and Frank Lewis finally got
in from Harvey Lake Monday
morning, where they have been
marooned for the past week.
They have been waiting for a
local plane to pick them up,
but the tie-up of three small
planes in an accident last week
prevented their return. Imagine
Casey and Frank were glad to
get a home cooked meal-or a
full meal, period.

Unofficial Count Gives W. Rae
Lead, Write-in Follow

The unofficial tally of the
election board in Tuesdays mu-
nicipal election places A. G..
McRae at top of the list with a
vote of 1852. Of the names on
the official ballot for city coun-
Gil, Tom Reilly polled 66 votes
and Glenn Tressler, 81.
Written candidates Charles
(Chuck) Cole and Lawrence
(Skeets) Whitmore polled 149
each.
Murl Trevethan, popular
choice for Utility Board, re-
ceived 181 votes, and Leon
Lewis, also unopposed for the
School Board, polled 210 of the
total PIT votes cast. Seven bal
lots for School Board were
thrown out.
Other "write-ins" were, for
School Board, Bee Davis, l.;
Miriam Painter, /; Robert r.
Lewis, l. For councilmen were
Ted Lesko, 4; j. H. Shelton, l.;
H. w. Camper, 2 and Russell
Wagner, l. Some votes were lost
because of the illegal stickers.
One ballot was lost because a
facetious voter defaced it by the
words, 81 do not wish to run"
The exact result of the cleo
ton will not become official
until the votes are canvassed by
the City Council, which will
probably meet in special session
for that purpose Wednesday.
There is considerable opposi-
ton from several quarters to &C.
ceptance of the election with
two written candidates, on the
grounds that the Seward Elec-
ton Ordinance No. 100 provides
for "Write-in" candidates by i'm
plication only. 1t s%tipulates that
! such candidates must first have
complied with the petition re-
%quirements, which reads:
Section 21. "That names of all
candidates for office, to entitle
them to a place upon the Off
cial ballot, shall be filed with
the Municipal Clerk at least
seven days prior to the election.
Such name OF names shall be
accompanied by a petition signed
by at least twenty qualified
voters of the City, or the can
didate or candidates shall have
been nominated at public meet
ing Of the electors of the City
called for the purpose of making
nominations, and be certified by
the chairman and clerk, or sec
rotary of such meeting"
That Cole and Whitmore did
declare themselves as candidates
was evidenced by the declara-
ton sent through the mails in
closing gummed stickers bear
ing their names and a printed K
in the box reserved for the
voters mark. They also appear
ed on the radio to declare their
views as candidates for the
election.
In view of the popular vote
there is no question of the decis-
ion of the voters, and it may be
that the council will regard it
as such. The fact remains how
ever that there seems to have
been some irregularity in the
procedure, due to confusion
caused by the wording of the
election ordinance, dated 1948,
signed by Clarence Heating as
MavOr.

mo Polio In Seward" Says
Public Health Official

iISti SoA -i@' ~ =
Health Nurse, stated today that
a child was sent home from the
local school Monday, not be-
cause he showed any symptoms
of polio, but he had a slight
fever and a cold with a stiff
neck.
His condition is very common
among both children and adults
at this time of year, and this
child will be kept away from
others only as a precautionary
measure. If it were not for the
occurrence of the disease in
neighboring cities just now,
probably nothing would have
been noticed about this child.
According to a report by the
Alaska Department of Health
there is very little or nothing
that can be done to prevent the
disease. Diagnosis in non-para-
lytic ase depends upon detec-
ton of a clinical picture COM
patible with the illness, plus the
demonstration of a moderate in
crease in cells in the spinal
fluid. There is a form of illness
closely resembling poliomyelitis,
presumptively (abortive) polio
myelitis which presents vague
symptoms of the disease, but
without the same effect on the
nervous system. This illness is
frequent during epidemics of
polio.
Polio seems to be transmitted
by close association with infect
ed persons in the majority of
cases. Outbreaks attributable to
milk have been rare and limited.
Although flies have been found
to be contaminated with the
virus, there has been no reliable
evidence of spread by insects,
water, food or sewage.
The only methods of control
of the disease are through the
infected persons, contacts and
environment. Recognition of the
disease in it's early stages, iso-
lation for one week from date
of onset, or duration of fever,
and by concurrent distinctions.
Quarantine is of improved value,
according to the report. Modi-
fled quarantine restricting the
movement of intimate contacts
for 7 to ii days may be desir-
able in certain circumstances.
There is no active immuniZation
for polio.
Epidemic measures, as out
lined by the Department of
Health, consists of the necessity
for diagnosis and medical care,
particularly bed rest of patients
and information to the public
at large on similar matters; iso-
lation in bed of all children
with fever, pending diagnosis;
education in such technique of
bedside nursing as will prevent
distribution of infectious dis
charges to others from patients
isolated at home; protection of

Indians Offered Vernon
Twice, White Sox Insist
By the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-Whether
Cleveland has offered to trade
First Baseman Mickey Vernon to
Chicago for Pitcher Bill Wight
was an unanswered question today
General Manager Hank Green
berg of the Indians says he didn't
offer to trade Vernon. General
Manager Frank Lane of the White
Sox emphatically says he did.
Lane said Monday that Green
berg wanted Wight for Vernon
but that he fatty refused the
proposition.
In Cleveland Greenberg declared
he wouldn't trade Vernon for any
player the White Sox own and that
he never talked to Lane about
Vernon. Greenberg said II don't
see how Lane could say such a
thing"
But Lane Immediately countered
by saying Greenberg did make the
offer and what's more. Cleveland
Manager Lou Boudreau made the
same offer Tuesday night.

Two Stables Shift Strings
From California 10 HiaIeah

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 26.-Activi-
ties along thoroughbred row
uuickened today with arrival of
two stables of horses from Cali
fornia.
Fred w. Hooper's Olympia and
four stablemates arrived by train
yesterday, along with j. A. Kin
ards Johns Joy and IL other
racers in his string.
Trainers, Ivan Parke, who
handles the Hooper horses. and
his brother, Monte Parke. who
trains the Kinard string, said
they left Santa Anita because
Olympia and Johns Joy ap-
parently did not like the racing
strip and they felt it useless to try
and make them run over it.
Olympia has been nominated
for both the $4,000 McLennan
Handicap and the $4,000 Wild
ener at Hialeah.
None of the Kinard horses was
nominated for Hialeah's rich
races since Monte Parke did not
decide to switch from California
to Florida until last week.
