Christmas preparations began this week at the Seward Sana- torium with the appointment of a committee headed by Mrs. he- turah King of the staff to ar range for observancCS and gifts for all patients.
 Mrs. King said tnat in past wears, the community of Seward has been very generous in ad- ding to the YuletIde cheer of the ward patients, and that dona- tions for this purpose haV2 also been received from outside sources, especially from Meth odist and other church groups in the States.
 It is anticipated that the sup ply of small idiVidu3l toys for the child patients Wlll be ade- quate as in years past, although this type of gift has always been welcome Organizations or indl- Viduals are invited to contact Mrs. King or Mir. Nelson at the San before purchasing gifts, in order to avoid undue duplica- ton. It would be especially fine, Mrs. King said, if those desiring to remember the child patients at Christmas would contribute toward the purchase of larger and more permanent types of gifts, such as can be enjoyed by the youngsters fer many months pas, the holiday g0G-0T. A Cl~e. tric train has ready been con tributcd to the ward, and Cap tain Carr of the Seward Army Dock is preparing a fish pond for the child patients, as exam ples of the more permanent gifts.
 As for the adult patients, there is never any over supply of gins, and even the smallest r. membranes are always apprccl- ated. Suggestions for the adult patients include magazines, sta tlonary and stamps, books, slip pers, washable bathrobes, and especially magazine suoscrip- tiOrS.

 With the construction season rapidly drawing to close in road work little moro than skele- ton crews remain on the job.
 A review of the work done and still to be completed was oD- tainod in an interview with Baird French. Bureau of Public Roads.
 Of fllty-eigat miles of road be- tween SeWara and Anchorage which was under construction this season. 45 miles have been completed ready for the top grading and black top. Most of this will be finished next season, at least the grading, This $ cti0n is in the more rugged mountain ous section of the road.
 The part from Mile 58 to Gird- wood and into Anchorage is un- der contract for paving during the 1852 season.
 The Max Kuncy Company has the contract for paving be- tween Mile 58 and GirdWood. From GirdWood to Anchorage will be paved by Lytle & Green and s. Birch Company. Six miles of the Sterling Highway from Mile 38 10 Cooper Landing Is complete. with approximately another six miles to be done next year. This section is new con structiou on 6 relocated road be ing done by LytIe & Green. It will not ba blacktopped in any immediate future.
 Four conu5ct.ug firms have been engaged in the rebuilding proiect. Stoctz & Grove, an An choragc firm, has the first stretch Of road north of Seward to Mile 5. which includes three bridges. NIanson-Osoerg- g-HalNor- son has the W0rk from Mile , to Mile 33. This covers the reIoca- ton of the road across the D. vide in the Henai Mountain range, .......:
 From Nile B to Mile 50, in cludlng the triangle at Mile 33 (the route 10 kcaaI and Eomer) Is under contract to Lytle 6; Green. The Max Kuney Com pany is working from Mile 50 to Mile 58. This section eliminates the two bridges at Freuchy ana Colorado CreeKs by huge fills across the canyon in each in stance. This particular operation has been the source of keen in terest to Seward motorists, who have driven the route to Hope for the past several years ana found it a dangerous and some times hair-raising trip. Approxi- mately 500 Worknen have been engaged between the four con tractors, the peak of the season being in mid-August. Since that time, the number has been grad ually taparing off until at the present time it is only fraction of that number. Little work will be done during the winter, al though plans are for some clear ing to continue near Moose Pass
 The entire construction on the Kenai Penisula has been un- der the direction of the Bureau of Public Roads Seward office, which does the planning, specifi- cations and supervisory work for the road as far as GlrdWooo From there on the work comes under the Alaska Road Commis- sion direction.
