Muddy Water Moy Not Be Contaminated Says Heol+h Dept.

In conversation with Dr. R. O. Sellers, city health of ficer, the Doctor stated that the muddy water now being served in most of the Seward resi- dences and restaurants, is not necessarily contaminated He has had no report of contam- ination from the Territorial Department of Health labora- tory.
 Dr. Sellers does advise, how ever, that mothers should boil the water for infants and small children.
 It is unusual to have the Seward supply so muddy at this time of the year, when there have been no excessive rains. It is observed that all or most streams on the Peninsula that are glacier fed are also very muddy. Ptarmigan Creek has not been clear all season, ac- cording to reports. Those lines in town that are fed from the Mt. Marathon tanks are clear, but very little water is coming from that supply. Oldtimers who know the Marathon in take, state that the Hume on the top of the ledge at timberline must be stopped, thus divert ing the Marathon water away from the line. This has happen ed before, and with the open ing of the ditch, clear water again runs into the Marathon tanks.
 Although a verbal offer was made to the city council for the sale of the water facility, the offer has not been submit ted in writing as of this morn ing, and no action can be talk en on the deal until such pa per has been received by the council.
 According to the verbal a. greement, the Water Company would sell the utility to the city on an easy payment plan, at the rate of $500 per month, without down payment ana without interest. The muddy condition has arisen since that offer was made.
 Phone calls are pouring into the newspaper office complain ing of the mud. One mother stated that a call to the office of the Water Company brought the information that water in the office is perfectly clear this information, of course, did nothing to allay the anger of that mother, whose children are i'll at the present time, al though the water has not offici- ally been blamed for their ill., ness.

Rent Increase Forms Ready

Application forms for increas- ing controlled rents 20 per cent are now available at the Area Rent Office, Pearl Building, Anchorage. Director A. Bandet- tini states: We are now ready to take applications and adjust the rents in accordance with the new rent control law signed by President Truman last week. The application for an increase must be sworn to before fil- ing"
 Tn any case where the pres ent maximum rent is less than 20 per cent of the June 30, 1947 rent plus adjustments for improvements and services, the landlord is eligible for the rent increase" Here are some typi- cal cases showing landlords who are eligible and those who are not.
 Supposing the landlords rent in each case was $50 per month on June 30, 1947, the following is the amount he is now allow ed in increase:
 1. He has had no increase since the given 1947 date-he may now obtain an additional 20 per cent to S6O.
 2. Since 1947 he has received an increase in rent to S57.oO under a voluntary lease" which was authorized by Congress Ill 1e47 and 1948. In this case the landlord may obtain a rent in crease to S60, which is 20 per cent more than the $50 in ef- feet before the lease.
 3. He has received an in crease to S55-because a $5 in crease was necessary to com pensate him for increased costs. In this case the landlord may obtain rent increase to $6O.
 4. If the landlords rent was $50 in 1947, and he since re- ceived a S1O increase because of major improvement such as garage, modern bathroom, sleeping porch, etc, or an in crease in service such as utili- ties, heat, etc, he may now get an additional 20 per cent ot his present rent Of S6O for a total new rent of SIP.
 5. Ii the $50 rent was raised to S6O because the $50 was less than that brought for com parable dwelling units, and the increase was not for an improve ment or an increase in services the landlord cannot obtain fur ther increase under the 20 per cent provision because he is al ready receiving 12O per cent oi the original rent.
 6. If the landlord has been permitted to charge an addi- tional S5 whenever he has rent ed to a number of persons that is greater than normally occu- pied by this kind of dwelling unit-he is now eligible for a rent of S60 for normal occu- pancy 120 per cent of S50), and S65 for additional occupancy.
 Tn any case where the pres ent maximum is already more than 120 per cent of the June 30, 1947 rent plus adjustments for improvements and services, the present maximum rent con- tinuss without change.
 In any case where there has been a decrease in services or equipment such as cutting off utilities, such decrease must be shown in the application and are offsets against the. 20 per cent increase.

 Seward, Nebraska, is the lnty seat of Seward County, has a population of $500.
 S located in "one of the rich
 counties in the United

 The town of Seward, Nebras-
 was founded by MT. and Mrs. wis Moffitt in about 1865. csc two owned much of the
 Id around the town and MT. Iffitt was its first postmaster. By 1868 there were seven
 res in the town. Seward Coun-
 was first named Greene Coun-
 in honor of Greene, the Mis- lri statesman who turned out
 be a Rebel. Nebraska and ward County, and the city of ward have always been Re blican, so it did not take the
 te legislature long to decide ht no part of the sacred soil der their control should bear dishonored name of a Rebel, d as Honorable Wm. H. Sew d was then Secretary of State, der Lincoln, his great name hs chosen by both county and Wn as their own.
 Many of the people of that rly day arrived by covered hgon, to a part of the state here the PaWnee Indians lived.

Rule Out Butter
As Burn Healer

NEW YORK, Nov. 1 (INS)-
Grandma's remedy for soothing a
burn by reaching for the nearest
pat of butter is quite out of fav-
or with doctors today. Butter your
bread, but never your burns, they
warn the thousands of people who
suffer minor burns each year.
According to the medicos, but
ter, lard and other kitchen rene
dies do not necessarily help heal
the burn and may even be harm
full.
They tell us a large burn is an
open wound which needs protec-
ton against outside infection. And
even small everyday burns-like
the ones you get from touching a
hot pot or iron-should be given
prompt protection with a clean,
protective dressing.
Soothing the burn with petrol
cum jelly has been the standard
treatment prescribed by doctors
over the past Is years. This act
as a barrier against Infection and
prevents bandages from sticking
to the wound.

President Truman has called
General Dwight D. Eisenhower to

But the White House said Ike
