that Is notorious all over the Territory This report was com piled by under-cover agents of the Association. Copies were sent to the Commander in Chief of the Alaska Command, Terri torial and Federal health agen- cieS.
 MT. Raymond P. Sanford, Al aska field representative of the association which has a sub-head National Defense Activities" gives the impression that pres sure can be brought that will effect the economy of the city unless the practice of prostitu- tion is vigorously prohibited
 This is a problem that must be considered by all citizens of Seward. We cannot hide behind nice words, nor skirt around it by nice talk, calling it vice which may or may not have less lethal sound The word is Prostitution.
 Older residents will remember that they tangled with this problem at least once before, that it arises periodically in the history of any city. The question in the minds of most people who have listened to MT. Sanford is whether it is better to scatter the evil or keep it localized where it can be under more or less control.
 If an ordinance is invoked forbidding prostitution, the buSi- ness will scatter, or (more like 1y) move outside the city limits and outside the jurisdiction of city police. With the lack of personnel in the US. Marshal's office to cope with the changed conditions, one wonders ii the actual picture would change for the better or worse.
 The United States has tried many times to legislate public morals; it has never been done successfully. The fight against pu b lie vice and prostitution must begin with the parent, church and school. When these institutions have fallen down on the job, in the past, it has been the practice to clamor for gov ernment intervention. The iJD has then been dumped into the lap of the already ovcrburdened policeman, who does the best he can to enforce the laws as passed. The good people then sit back, wash their hands of the matter, and think that the passing of resolution to sup port" the law against prostitu- tion ends their responsibility.
 The city council will be called upon to make some decision in this matter It is up to you to inform your council as to your will. Either by letter, or by at tending council meeting in person. Cause your organiza- tional resolutions to be laid be- fore the governing body of the city.
 Let's have a vigorous educa- tional program in the churches, civic groups and schools. Con- sider this problem well, from all angles, decide whether it is a law enforcement problem as we'll as a moral one and put your decision on paper over your name. Let's not hide be- hind the anonimity of Public Opinion" as public opinion can be false.
 MT. Sanford is positive that Kodiak is absolutely "clean," that his organization with the cooperation of the Kodiak po- lice have made that city free of vice and prostitution, the ideal place in which to live. Statements of opinion from resi- dents of that city conflict with that report. Anchorage and Fairbanks are strug9linp thru

JUNIOR : SENIOR
BANQUET : PROM
HELD APRIL 6

The members of the Mantec
high school Junior class and their
parents were responsible last Fri
day night for one of the most col
orful and successful Junior-Senior
Banquets ever given at Mantec
high school.
The Banquet was held in the
school lunchroom, in which the
decorations carried out the theme
"April Showers" Umbrellas were
suspended over the tables to
shelter" the guests from showers
of paper flowers. The decorations
were all in yellow and blue, colors
of the Glass of 1861.
Program
Hudean O'Neal was postmaster
for the after-dinner program. He
introduced A. o. Ayers, who cx-
pressed the faculty's appreciation
to the students in the two classes.
Betty Rae Sanderlin welcomed
the Seniors in behalf of the Class
Of '52.
Principal L. w. Higgins was
the main speaker during the even
ing; he used the old adage, ZAP
ril showers bring May flowers"
to point up the theme of his talk,
that adversely is a norma! and ev-
en- necessary prelude to success in
life.
The Banquet was prepared by
mothers of Junior class members
and served by Sophomore girls.
At the conclusion of the formal
program the party was adjourned
to the gym, which was decorated
as garden by Junior class mem
bers. The evening was concluded
with the annual Junior-Senior
Prom in the gym.

chairman said.
"But people," she added, twill

realize the extent of the problem.
Part of our task is. to help the
public evaluate the worth Of their
expenditures.
"If an amount equal to what is
spent each month to tip walters,
for instance, were given to the
Cancer Crusade, we would receive
twice as much as our goal for
1851"
Mrs. Meekins listed a number
of items and their annual cost to
the public which she said should

given the ACS in 1850.
During the year the public

tips; $4,266, 100000 for tobacco;
$3.50, 100000 for intoxicants;
$175,000,000 for athletic and SOC

SENIOR PLAY

Manteo high schools Class of
81 will present a three-act Chin
csc comedy, "The Yellow Jacket, +"
Friday night, April 20, at 8 pm.
The action of the play is pre-
scented in the Chinese fashion--a
style of presentation unlike in
most respects that of the Amer
lean stage. The novelty of scenic
and sound effects, as produced in
the Chinese theatre, makes the
play, an intensely interesting
drama in its own right, of special
interest to all who may wish TO
see a good play with many unus-
ual features.

NEW OLD RELIC
IN THE MUSEUM
AT FIT. RALEIGH
Bx AYCOCK BROWN

So far as officially known, the
Oldest English-made farming tool
ever found in the New World
that became America, went on
display in Fort Raleigh Museum
here at the site of the landing of
the Sir Walter Raleigh expedition
this week. 1t is an ancient iron
sickle, of type common in 10th
Century England and it was with
out doubt brought to the site al
most 400 years ago by a member
of the Inflated Lost Colony.
The foregoing is according to
DR.. ]. c. Harrington, regional ar
cheologist of the National Park
Service, with headquarters in
Richmond. 1t was DIR. Harrington
who conducted the archaeological
diggings here during 1947
through 1949 in search of definite
evidence that it was here on Roa-
noke Island that the Sir Walter
Raleigh Expedition established it's
colony.
The sickle was found deep in
the ditch that surrounded the re-
Gently restored "new fort in Vir-
ginia" built by the expedition
which remained on the island dur
ing the year 1885.
The sickle, however, is only one
of many objects now on display in
the museum which were uncover
ed during the archaeological re-
search conducted by DR.. Harring-
ton.
Most imposing of the objects,
perhaps, are three earthen jars of
clay which were fitted together
from pieces found in the ditch or
moat of the fort, that later be-
came known as Fort Raleigh or
the "fort" in the "Citie of Ra-
leigh" The jars range in size from
one gallon to about three gallons.
They are identical in shape to the
drawings of Governor John White
made in 1856 following his visit to
the New World. 1t was John
White, first artist and cartograph-
er of the early Sir Walter expedi-
tions, who made drawings of the
Indians, their customs and their
methods of cooking and fishing.
These drawings he presented to
Queen Elizabeth at the same time
Sir Walter Raleigh presented her
with the tobacco plant and pota-
toes that had been discovered in
the New World at Roanoke Island.
The new relics which tie in with
Americas beginning here on Roa-
noke Island fill two cases in the
Museum at Fort Raleigh. There
are cannon balls, harquebus shot,
Indian pipes, Spanish olive jug
fragments, nuggets of brass and
many other objects. Several "brass
counters" similar to coins were
also found in the ditch. They bear
pre-discovery of Roanoke Island
dates. One dated in 1874 is inscrib-
ed with the name Hans Schultes
of Nuremburg. On the diverse
side is inscribed "Glick Kupt Won
Got" which translated means
"True Happiness Comes from
God"
With the reconstruction of the
fort as a historic attraction an
increasing number of persons are
visiting Fort Raleigh. In March
301O persons from SO States and
four foreign countries visited the
site, an 81 percent increase over
March 1850.

The death rate from accidents
in 1850 was 500 per 100000 popu-
lation, according to the National
Safety Council. This is the lowest
rate on record, lettering the pre-
vious record low rate of 61.2 in
1919.

Bell Company
Receives Request
For Opening
Of New Contract

rrttf
The following statement has
been es s. made by Hal S. DUMAS,
president, Southern Ben Tele-
phone Company:
The Southern Bell Telephone
Company has received a request
from the Communications Work
ers of America-CIO forsopening
OF negotiations looking toward 4
new contract 70. the "A. 900 non
supervisory employees who are
represented by inc onion. The
Union has asked that bargaining
sessions begin on April so.
The existing contract between
the Company and the Union runs
Until June 5, and, as provided by
the contract, the Unicn has given
% days notice of desire to nego-
tate a new agreement. The pres
ent agreement was executed in
l948 and has been modified twice
to provide for wage increases.
SAmong many other items, the
Union has requested a general
wage Increase. 1t has been our
policy over the years to pay
wages that are in line with the.
wages Of other workers in the
communities which we serve
whose jobs are comparable to
telephone jobs. Only in this way
can we do justice to the fine peo-
pie who make up our organiza-
ton and continue to attract and
keep the type of employees es-
sentlal to good telephone service.
a general advance Of indus
trial wages is taking place in the
communities served by Southern
Bel, and we believe the facts
justify a wsge increase for South
ern Bel employees within the
sterilization limits specified by
the Government.
wages are by far the biggest
dtem. in our expenses and the
money to pay for any increase
in wages will have to be secured
through an increase in telephone
rates.
''There is no margin in our in
come to absorb any increased
costs. In fact, we have failed by
about $4,000 600 annually to
make up through increased tele-
phone rates the wage increases
already granted in the last ten
years.
'T'he yardstick we must follow
in the coming negotiations is
that any settlement reached as to
wages be equally fair to our en-
ployees and to our customers who
pay the bill"
