Dispute Settled By Mufua! Agreement

The entire railbelt population was greatly relieved this week to learn of the agreement be- tween longshoremen and the Northern SteVedoring Company, concluded last weekend and rati fled by vote of a special meet ing of Local 182, ILWU.
 While details of the agree ment regarding dispatching prac- tices were not made public at this time, it is understood that a compromise between the for mer position of both employer and the union was worked out. Longshore spokesmen said that negotiations between their com mittee and MT. Setterston of the Northern Stevedoring were ami cable and that many additional points of minor grievance were taken up and dealt with satis- factorily on an informal basis.
 The assistance of a federal mediator was not required in arriving at a permanent agree ment. Work had been progress ing normally since the tempor- ary truce of last week.

Trica-or-Treufers Escape Serious Gastric Disturbances

Stewards youngsters garnered a total of 2759 cookies, 3054 pieces of candy, 769 apples, 438 oranges and several hundreds of dollars in cash during annual trick or-treat activities, accord ing to a highly unofficial talley received at the Seward Record office yesterday.
 Where they got it is pretty we'll known, says the top-secret document; what they did with it all is a matter for future sci entific research, which may rev olt.ttio..;zo present ideas of max imum stomachic capacity.
 The claim of some housthold- CTS, that Anchorage and other railbelt towns had delegations of children down here for the annual Shake-doWn is unfound- ed, the report continues. Some Seward youngsters must have changed masks and made the rounds several times, it was Sug- gested. All agreed, however, that there just simply could not be that great a number of children in Seward alone, as were seen making the rounds Wednesday evening.
 Local merchants were grad ually calming their fears that two or three trick kor-treaters might obtain monopoly of the loot and start store, thus giv- ing them severe competition in the confectionery, bakery goods and fresh fruit GcDartmcntS.
 Impossible as it might seem the greater part of the loot has already been consumed, the doc umCnt concludes.

Porenf-Teocher Ass n To Hold Important
 Meeting Wednesday

The Seward Parent-Teachcr Association, which has been dor mant during the present school term, has announced through a past president of the organlza- tion, that a do-or-die gathering of former members, prospective members, and all interested citl- zens has been scheduled for this coming Wednesday, November ', at the school.
 The organization at present has no officers, having lost those elected last year by resignation, health reasons and by moy...e- out of the city. The time has come, the spokesman said, tor the organization either to acti- Vize or to disband, since the few members who have been keeping the P-TA alive can no longer do all the necessary work. Teachers have been reluctant to attend because of the small turnout Ot mothers during the meetings last year, and personal feelings are said to have been a factor in the difficulties of the group.
 Yet it was stated that the Seward PTA has record Of recent past achievements ot which any organization can be proud. They instituted and put into successful operation the school cafeteria program, which is now serving more lunches than ever before, providing bal anccd hot meals at nominal cost, with virtually no waste.
 Another accomplishment of the Seward P-TA was the aid rendered the school in meeting stringent requirements for the school library, in order to main tain accreditation with outside colleges. An estimated S3OO0 was raised, both in cash and m gifts of usabie books during this campaign.
 More recently the sum of ap- prOximately S400 was raised by the P-TA for the purchase of playground equipment, but this money was never expended be cause the city council appropri- ated the money, apparently thru a misunderstanding.
 In the event that the P-TA or ganization is disbanded, it has been suggested that this sum be turned over to the public health nurse for the outfitting of a first aid room for the school.
 But in any event, the future of the Seward P-TA, and the disposal of it's funds, hinges en- tirely on actions to be taken at the special meeting, announc- ed for Wednesday, November ', at the school at 8 pm. An urgent call for all parents and others interested in work of the P-TA has therefore been issued by the past president.

By unanirlous vote yesterday the Alaska Development Board, now meeting in boari offices in Juneau, elected Don H. Goodman of Anchor age as chairman. Goodman was the latest member to be named to the board by Governor Ernest Gruening.
 His appointment was announced last Friday to succeed Fred W. Ak ford who resigned. He replaces the governor as chairman.
 Goodman started his Alaska career as a bush pilot with the McGee Airways which later became Star Airways, and from 1887 to 1889 he was manager of this company. It was through a measure of Goodman's ef- forts in Washington, DC, that An chorage was finally connected by air with the States.
 During World War 1T, Goodman was captain in the Royal Air Force ferry command, flying war planes between the United States. Canada and England. Tn 1922 he transferred to the U s. Naval Air Transport, Atlantic division.
 Following discharge, Goodman re- turned to Alaska in 1945 to go into the contracting business. He oper- ates the Don II. Goodman Co., Inc, ! and Pacific Electric Contractors working under government con tracts to the Westward.
 Last year he served as president of the Anchorage Chamber of Com merce and is on the board of di- rectors for the Pacific Northwest Trade Association. He is planning to attend a meeting of that body in Missoulia, Mont, in September.
