CHINOOK SHORT LIVED

Well, the long awaited chi nook that came to Seward Sun day, lasted two days, then it froze out. It lasted long enough to reduce snow and ice to two feet of slush which froze solid again in three hours last night. The epidemic of colds and in- fluenza cannot be laid at the door of chinook however, as it had a good start before the wet weather set in. The breakup cannot be too far away, be- cause the 4th of July Committee is enthusiastically preparing for the Marathon Race-and it's al ways summer on that day, so keep your boots handy, it'll b.

First Aid Troininq Begins Tonight

MT. Ralph Cwolsman. recently returned from Germany, will hold a 30 hour instructor train ing course class in the Council Chambers beginning at : pm, Tuesday night.
 The course will be h I strenuous, as it is necessary to run from ' to 10 o'clock for ten nights in order to get all the work in before MT, CWolsman leaves the Territory. If no one completes and obtains teach Ing certificate, there will be no more first aid in Seward.
 It is most important that few people are willing and able to sacrifice their time for the next ten days to take this special training, or the entire city and area will be without instructors, consequently without the very necessary first aid in event of emergency, either in peace or war.
 Present instructors are teach ing on temporary certificates, and classes are so large that other teachers are badly needed.
 The course will include stan dard advanced first aid with em- phasis laid on the teaching. It is necessarily concentrated course, crowded into 30 hours, Nurses, teachers, and persons having at one time had standard and advanced certificates are asked to respond.
 Remember, zoo to 1000 pm, Council Chambers tonight.
 Special daytime classes are offered to persons from out-of- town next week, if the various communities will send in repre- sentatives, or they may enter the night class by making ar arrangements for 10 day stay in town.

SeWGr1''s SmuH-Fry Thrill! Audience Af Ddnce RecifGi

An estimated 300 to $50 per sons crowded into Che Civic Center last Friday night to watch Stewards adorable tiny tots and older children in the first display of dance talent to have been given here in several years.
 The many elaborate costumes worn by the 50 children added greatly to the success of the presentation, anu brought ex- pressions of amazement from the many women present in the audience The costuming alone was a remarkable feat.
 Costumes, h we CT, would have been of no significance in themselves, if not accompanied by the surprising amount of talent which has been brought out by Kathryn Johnson in the children of Seward. Any number of adolescents who have always been thought to be backward and shy beyond help, amazed friends by doing splendid work on the stage.
 The four J O h s n sisters, daughters of MT. and Mrs. Elmer Johnson Ono relation to Kathryn Johnson) showed professional potcntiality in the variety of their art. especially in adagio and toe dancing.
 Children's performances are always popular, but the many proud parents with shining faces were receiving congratulations from ell quarters Friday night. Poor lighting and bad acoustics in the Civic Center could not detract from the tremendous task undertaken by Mrs. John son. Her ability, teaching skill and personal artistry were just as apparent in her pupils as in her own performance.
 As a special favor, Kathryn Johnson presented the Peacock Dance, her own creation, which has been acclaimed all over the world. Unfortunately, the small stage hampered the dancers movements. and lessened the eff feet which must be very beau tiful when performed with the proper setting of rich hangings, ample space and good lighting.
 Phyllis Baker, Seward queen candidate at the Fur RendeZ- vous, was featured during the recital. She wore the gown in which she appeared at Anchor age, sang the same two numbers and played TchaikoWski's Con- certo on the piano, just as she did at the talent show This was to give Seward the opportunity to see the performance that won Phyllis third place in the An chorage talent show.
 Proceeds from the recital over expenses were turned over to the Volunteer Fire Department by Mrs. Johnson, owner and di- rector of the Seward School of the Dance
