All contribution from the booth will be sold and the proceeds used for the benefit of the Ii brary.
 Home canned meats, fish and native fruits are particularly in teresting on the Peninsula be- cause of the variety of methods used in the preservation of foods.

EE%XFo 2: 5;% ix Informal Talks Underway
MUNSAN. KOREA (AP)

MUNSAN. KOREA (AP) - A four-man subcommittee tack led the Korean buffer zone deadlock today amid official indications the Communists are ready to compromise.
 The subcommitteemen declin- ed to comment on what happen ed in their first session-held in an unusual air of informality for Korean truce talks.
 They scheduled their second session for II am. Saturday.
 When they adjourned United Nations and Communist dele gates posed together for the first time.
 While posing, Maj. Gen. Henry I. Hodes, one of the LIN. representatives, put his arm around North Korean Maj. Gen. Lee Sang Cho.
 The other two delegates-U.S. Rear Admiral Arleigh Burke and Chinese Maj. Gen. Hsieh Fang-also appeared to be in good spirits.
 While they were negotiating behind closed doors, their dis cussians were broken at times by outbursts of laughter.
 The informal attitude-a com plete reversal of the cold mili- tary formality of all full dele gation meetings-strengthened an air of hopefulness brought to Kaesong by a regular broadcast.

XIV sWARD'S EARLY SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS
By Jay Stauter

|eSe weekly columns, a rather liking fact keeps coming to r attention, time and again. lat circumstance is the almost |nplete absence of printed or fitten source material. Repeat inquiries have failed to locate y available newspapers prior 1920. Official and unofficial tords of the early days of Sew d have somehow been destroy or lost, or perhaps never pre- rved at all. The dates on early eds and homesteads do not rrespond to the actual time transfer, but rather to the te of filing, which in many Ees took place as much as lee years after the actual Pnt. Early records of the Sew F Volunteer Fire Department, hough painstakingly kept and Fserved for many years, fell ey to moment of careless Es some time ago, when a Wcomer to one of the city ices cleaned out all the "old pk" and burned it, including the early records of fires Il also of personnel of the Fe Department.
 n gathering material on Sew Is early schools and teachers, same problem faces us again. bceedings of early c h 0 l Rrds were sometimes vague as names and dates, and many the minutes of school board etings are m s sin g. Judge ittlesy examined them care ly in 1920, for an article he pte in the magazine Path der,' the May issue of that IT.. For the material below, we almost entirely indebted to late Judge Whittlesy, who, it l be recalled, was for many [rs City Clerk, also Mayor
 U. s. Commissioner.
 n the year 1903, Miss Louise rth arrived in Seward to be- ne the city's first school teach sent by the Reverend Shel-
 Jackson, general agent for 1cation for the Territory. As rly as we can learn, the first pol was a 1-room shack which d to be just north of the sent Alaska House, on the where a quonset hut now hds. Miss Kurth taught the re season, the winter of 1903
 the spring of 1904. Her ap- htment seems to have been d of a temporary measure,
 salary being paid out of a cial fund administered by Dr. kson.
 efore the next school year ned, the town of Seward or ized a regular school board, Bisting of F. E. Youngs, presi- |; F. G. Hale, treasurer, and Gray, clerk. Under the jur- etion of this board, a school Jus was taken, and it was nd that there were 53 chil- of school age to be pro- Id for. Next they asked Gov br Brady for an allowance of Do for the coming school
 The money was promptly Incoming, and with this fund,
 employed Miss Mary Gil ick to teach for six months
 salary of S90 per month.
 nen, apparently, classes were ed to the Methodist Church, .h at that time was nothing a large tent. MT. Buck was
 employed as schoolteacher, the Ballaine Building (what-
 that was) was purchased the sum of $9O0 for a per ent school.

Stars Sci 10 Sweep Series
 --0r Gel Swept
By the Associated Press

The stage is set for Hollywood to put on some hometown heroics against Seattle's high-sailing Rain iers. The second-place Stars are exactly six games behind the Rain iers as the two clubs meet tonight in filmtown in the opener of a six game series that should settle the Coast League race.
 Maybe in the movies it could happen, but not even the most wild-eyed Hollywood fan expects Star sweep. The way Rog HOrnsby has the Studs going, Hollywood will be lucky to get the sweepings.
 Seattle, however, didn't look so good last night when it dropped 6-2 decision to Los Angeles.
 Little Vic Lombardi scattered six hits in pitching Hollywood to 3-1 decision over San Diego.
 Glenn Elliott pitched Sacramento to 3-2 verdict over Oakland. His teammates committed five errors but Elliott didn't let them interfere in racking up his 14th win of the season.
 Home runs by Eddie Barr and Don White paced Portland to a 3-2 victory over San Francisco iE the only day game.

Maxim Upsets Dopesters,
 Keeps Crown
Science Versus Crawling Match Gives Underdog Champ inc Call

NEW YORK, Aug 23-tR-Joey Maxim settled the world lightheavy- weight crown tightly on his swarthy brows today by virtue of his sur prising 15-round decision over free swinging Irish Bob Murphy
 It was a case of boxing science versus brawling, and science won.
 Three tough challengers await Maxim. Most probably the cham pion will fight Bob Satterfield ill Chicago Dec. '. There is talk of a fight in London with the British champion, stocky Don Cockell. And out on the Pacific coast there is Harry Kid" Matthews, who, his supporters claim, is the best of the lot.
 The action packed fight in Madison Square Garden last night came as a shock to the experts who picked Murphy to win and made him the 1925 betting favor ite. This was Maxim's first de- fense cf the title since he won it 19 months ago in London from Freddie Mills.
 From the fifth round on Murphy fought with his right eye almost closed. peering grotesquely ont of his left but wading in fearlessly, and taking repeated sharp combina- tiOn punches to the head and body.
 There was no argument over the decision. Referee Ruby Gold stein scored it 10 rounds for Maxim, three for Murphy and two even; the judges, Harold Barnes and Charley Shortcll, made it 10-5; the Associated Press scored it 11-4.
 The fight did well, drawing 9,525 who paid S48.148. And there was an additional $10O000 from tele- vision and radio. Maxim gets 40 percent of the net gate and the same percentage of the TV and radio income Murphys share of each is 20 percent.

Need for a Public Comfort
Station has been cited by the
st. Croix Chamber of Com
merce and recommended to
Administrator Taylor, who ex-
pressed his long interest in the
erection of such a unit.
Now more than ever the
need appears to be very great,
especially in the wharf area
in Christiansted, due to the de-
mand of crews from schooners
and motor ships as we'll as in
coming and outgoing passen-
gers on the mail-ship. Also re-
sidents and tourist require
some type of clean public toilet
facilities.
The Chamber suggests that
the well known method used
on the mainland of having
Pay-Toilets be employed with
one free toilet for each sex,
which would allow finances to
properly maintain the
premises.
The Administrator feels that
necessary funds could be Sc
cured for construction since
the justification for it is SO
great, and that a probable com
mittee might consist of Atty.
William Moorhead as chair
man, Doctor Shorney, PW
Supt. Alphonso Paraliticci, AL

hansen to make a complete
