Wanted: Group To Buy Dog Tags"

Eight hundred persons were typed during the blood typing program just completed in Sew ard, including 427 school chil- dren. Each person was issued a card bearing his type and RH factor.
 How long will school children have their cards? To be effective this important information must be carried on the person at all times. It is quite often the only means of Identification after a fire or bombing. The only solu- ton is indestructible metal tags, like those worn by the military Tags are worn by school chil- dren in Anchorage and other cities which have completed the program. They wear their dog tags on chain around the neck, and soon feel quite un- dressed without them.
 The machine for making the metal tags is owned by an An chorage minister who will do- nate the use of it to Seward. bat it cannot be moved. Robert Sharp, Anchorage city manager, offered to donate the metal tags. The services of a stenographcr for four days to type the tags is the only expense to Seward.

Elwyn Swet1nann Is Dead

Seward was shocked by the news of the death of ElWyn SWetmann, president of the Bank of Seward, early this morning, in a Riverside, California hos pital.
 MT. SWetmann was born in Petaluma, California, July 4, 1892. He attended St. Vincent's Academy and school in Petalu- ma. During World War l, he held a commission as 2nd It. in the U. 5. Army.
 In 1919 MT. Swetmann came to Alaska, working for a few months in Anchorage, but left that city for Seward late in that year. lie worked as pharma- cist for Alex Macdonald in the drug store which he later pur- chased and owned until recent wears. He met and married Miss Viola Triplett, who was teaching school here, in 1920. After the last war Mir SWstmann acquir- ed controlling interest in the Bank Of Seward.
 MT. and Mrs. SWetmann have been the social leaders in Sew ard for many years, both active in church and social life. Mir. Swetmann was Worshipful Mas ter of the Seward Masonic Lodge for three successive terms, and also served as Worthy Patron of Eastern Star. He was a char ter member of both American Legion Post No. 5 and of the Seward Lions Club, where he was largely responsible for the $500 scholarship and loan fund to Seward High School gradu- ateS.
 He was the owner of the Hope Hirshey mine in the Palmer Creek Valley and interested in several other mining ventures in the Territory. He was mem- Der of the Alaska Board of Pharmacy and on the Board of Directors of the newly formed Alaska Visitors Association.
 Elwyn Swetnann was consid- cred to be a hard and shrewd businessman, but of unimpeach- able integrity. He was very mod est and never allowed his many kindnesses and charities to be made known.
 MT. and Mrs. SWetmann have gone back to California for the past few years to escape the se- were winters here, but always returned with the Spring. He will be buried in Riverside on Thursday with Masonic honors. He is survived by his wife. Viola, one sister and three brothers, all of San Francisco.
 By request of the family, and in keeping with his own wish es, friends are to send no flow CTS. A SWetmann Memorial Shelf will be set up in the Sew ard Community Library which will be far more lasting than flowers.

Lindsey Refused Cab Business license

The application of Cecil Lind sey for a business license to op- crate the fifth taXicab company in Seward was definitely re- fused by the city council in reg ular session last night
 Councilmen maintained their belief in the legality of Ordi- nance 179 which limits the num- Der of licenses according to the population. Lindsey was told that he could purchase an exist ing business, but could not set up new one.
 An application for the fifth license is already on file by an- other person, who has also been refused until such time as the population officially reaches 2500 within the corporate limits, Lindsey was told
 Independent School District Considered
 Other business discussed by the council was the suggestion of CouncilWoman Kirkpatrick to study the establishment of an independent school district, At torney Baumgartner was in- structed to investigate the ad- vantages of the system, which would cover the outlying area beyond the city limits.
 As it is now" Mrs. Kirkpat- rick commented, the city bears the entire burden of school eX- penses. that should be shared by the families of 50 or more chil- dren outside the city limits. ;" For three months during the past winter a special school bus was run at city expense to trans port about IS children to the city school, all of whom lived off the regular Territorial bus route.
 Street Department
 With many thousands of dol lars worth of new equipment, the city streets are in terrible condition,' two complainants stated.
 Fred Kielcheski was author ized to put in as many hours as the weather will permit, with the grading equipment on the streets The city cannot compete with the high wages being paid by road construction companies for heavy equipment operators AS a consequence, all city ma chimes have been idle for over three weeks, and the usual street grading work done after the spring breakup has not been done Kielcheski is familiar with this work and consented to take on the extra duty in addition to his duties as fire chief
 In reply to several verbal in quiries as to the disposition of sales tax monies, Mayor Lanier stated that the public should be informed, if it is not generally known that the city books are always open to inspection by any taxpayer. Between the hours of 10 am. and 3 pm, any person may consult the city clerk and see the record of every transac- tion of city business. Actual sales tax collections of business houses is kept confidential, but totals and expenditures are pub lie information, as well as min utaS of all council naeatirCS

 Buddy Topples" Next Thursday

Volunteers for the American Legion Auxiliary's Poppy Day forces are being enrolled from other organizations as well as the AuXiliary's own members, Mrs. Grace errill, Poppy Chairman, announced { % d a y. The volunteers will give part or all of Thursday, May "A, to the work of distributing memor- ial poppies to be worn in tribute to the nations war dead.
 Other groups, which will ala the Legion Auxiliary Tn keep ing the memory of the war dead bright and in receiving contrl- buttons for the welfare of the wars living victims, include the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and others All will give their time as unpaid volunteers.
 The enthusiastic response to the AuXiliarys call for Poppy Day vo u n t e CT shows the same patriotic spirit today that h ey displayed in the Wal years, . said Mrs. Merrill. Dis tributing poppies on the streets on Poppy Day requires real sac rifice of time and energy, yet, of course, it is nothing compar- ed to the sacrifice made for us by all the men whom the poppy honors, and by those still living whom the poppy aids. Realiz- ing this, members of the AuXili ary and other cooperating organ izations are showing genuine eagerness to do their part on Poppy Day. 1 am sure they will be met by the public with the same spirit of patriotic remem- brance."
 Made by Veterans
 Making memorial poppies to De worn in honor of the war dead is providing employment for thousands of disabled veter- ans in hospitals throughout the country. The work not only en- ables the veterans to earn much needed money, but also is valu- able occupational therapy. Pop. pies which will be worn in Sew ard were made by patients at the Veterans Hospital, Portland, Oregon.
 The flowers are made of crepe paper with wire stems and are accurate replicas of the wild peoples of France and Belgium, which grew in such profusion on the battlefields of both world wars. This Flanders Fields" poppy has been the memorial flower of all English-speaking countries ever since the first World War. They are an impor- tant source of funds for the wei fare of the disabled veterans and needy children of veterans.
 The veterans work on the flowers in their hospital beds, wheel chairs, or in the hospital hobby shops In some states, spe cial Workrooms are maintained by the Auxiliary where the dis abled men outside the hospitals are employed The veterans de- velop great skill and speed in shaping the flowers and are able 10 earn substantial amounts with out overtaxing their strength. For them the poppy fills empty hospital hours with interes sting, profitable employment

Washington (LPA)-Rep. Har
old H. Velde Or, Ill., PRACTICAL!
washed his mouth out with soap il
public the other day.
On March 6, in a statement OF
a recent book about the capital
Velde said "The influence of Elean
or Roosevelt in the promotion o.
communism, of immortality and in,
decency among so-called minority
groups in Washington should be
explored"
This was too much for Mrs. Reva
Beck Bosone Cd, Utah). Two days
later she denounced Velde's action
saying character assassination is
far worse than murder, and call
ed Mrs. Roosevelt, widow Of the
late President, one of the greatest
women in American history. Rep.
John Mccormack Cd, Mass.), maj

tack on Velde.
Finally Velde asked that his ref
erence to Mrs. Roosevelt be re-
from the Congressional Re-
cord. Mrs. Bosone then said she
wanted her remarks about Velde
Mccormack compliment
ed both.

HIGH LIQUOR TAXES
BRING BOOTLEGGING

Albany (LPA)-The New York
State Liquor Authority doesn't
think much of the proposed Fed
eral increase in liquor taxes.
Asserting that bootleg produc-
ton already exceeds legitimate
output, John F. O'Connell, chair
man of the Authority, says a boost
from SO to $12-a-gallon tax would
price legal liquor out of the mar
ket and open the gates to bootleg
ging on a scale not witnessed since
Prohibition"
Before the war the tax was So a
gallon; Sc was added in wartime,
was supposed to be dropped six
months after hostilities stopped.
1t wasn't, and consumption of legal
booze has dropped off 26 percent
since VI day. O'Connell believes
people are not drinking less, just
getting it from bootleggers.

Mr.. Cohn. Another girl says "I'll
get him for you" No trouble at all.
Seems he has a desk there.
Mr.. COINS a little touchy about
the situation when reporters ask
him questions. His Meat Institute
is composed of pork packers and
professors from New York City

"It's handy, you know. Pm right
here in the OPS Meat Division and
whenever they want to know any
thing about pork / can tell them"
He stresses that he doesn't have
the same desk all the time and
doesn't have a private extension.
He suggests that he's just doing his

Says Publishers
Hell ped Create
Paper Shortage

Albany, NY (LPA)-The news
paper publishers, not the news,
print manufacturers, are respon,
sible for the current shortage OF
newsprint. So declared Paul L
Phillips, president of the AFI
Brotherhood of Paper Makers, ir
the current issue of the unions
monthly, the Paper Maker.
Phillips charge was in reply tc
lR. A. Olson, president of the
minnesota Federation of Labor
lwho had asked the Paper Makers
help in getting newsprint fol
Minnesota labor papers.
The publishers practices during
the depression forced many paper
companies into bankruptcy and
frightened away investors who
might have put money into new
construction, said Phillips. "The
sorry condition of the industry
meant nothing to the publishers
as long as they could buy paper at
their own price," Phillips added.
"Now the chickens have come home
to roost," he said, and the publish
ers are directing attention away
from their own mistakes and using
the manufacturers "as the villains
in the script"
He took issue with the Ameri-
can Newspaper Guild, which has
criticized manufacturers for not
expanding. He could not condemn
the manufacturers, said Phillips,
for not putting more money into
plant and equipment "when no one
else is willing to put money in such
projects"
Phillips promised labor editors
to add his unions voice to theirs
"in trying to persuade the manu-
facturers to allocate more news
print for the labor press, although
l am by no means certain we can
aid you"
