By Mildred Kirkp atrick

Well, Folks, we have about six weeks at the most to pre- pare for the flood. A flood of people looking for a place to live. I'll take in a couple, how many will you squeeze in? It has to come to that
 All of Alaska is practically on a wartime basis just as we were in the States from 1941 on. Ev- erybody who lived outside of Alaska and probably here too, doubled up to give the service men and war workers a place to live.
 Seward, and everyone in it, will gain a great deal from this next summer S work. If we share what we have with those Out siders living here for the first time, we will gain in goodwill and friendship just as much as we will materially.
 Apartments and houses can not possibly be built in time for the rush now. The only thing left is to absorb a couple here and a single roomer there for six months.
 Another idea suggested is for those owners of lots on the sewer, or having access to a cesspool and electricity, to make room for trailers, which may be brought in for the summer work
 A way can be found, if there is cooperation. We can all en- joy a pleasant and profitable summer, and have a better town in the end to show for it.

MINERAL PRODUCTION IN ALASKA WEARS
 BILLION-DOLLAR MARK

Returns on the S7,200,000 purchase price of Alaska derived from minerals alone since 1880 are likely to pass the billion dollar mark during 1851, accord ing to Department of the In- terior, Bureau of Mines figures on mineral production At the end of 1949, the cumulative value of all minerals produced was S972,025,000, more than tWo-thirds of which came from gold, the Bureau reports.
 Gold mining perennially has been the backbone of the Alas kan mining industry, but gold production along with all other mineral activities suffered heav- fly during World War II and none has regained preWar pros perity. The peak year for gold production was 1940 when 755.- gro ounces valued at 26,458,950 were produced Gold output dropped to low ot 49, ,29b ounces worth S1,725,360 in 1944 when Alaska's total mineral production amounted to only S6,303,000. Between 1880 and 1949, Alaska produced gold val ued at S652,457,547.
 Ranking next to gold in dollar value is coal, Other minerals produced in Alaska include silver, mercury, copper, anti mony, lead, platinum, tin, tung- sten, zinc, clay and pumice.
 With the exception of 1044, each year since 1900 the value of Alaska's mineral production has exceeded the original pur- chase price paid Russia.

Don't read this, you won't be interested in it anyway. If you do read ii, 1t won't mean anything to you, because if you are like most of the people in this town, you don't have the community spirit it involves.
 This boring and uninteresting editorial is about one of our National holidays, Independence Day. If you are unusually astute, you will know that this day comes sometime during the first of July, in fact, it is known as the Fourth of July.
 The Fourth of July is just one of the days during the year when all of us want to have a lot of fun with as little of our own labor as possible What, you still reading?
 For the past two years a few people have tried to put on a Fourth of July celebration by themselves. Anyone who knows human nature knows that you cant suit all of the people all of the time, especially if you do not have cooperation from any one else That same situation faces the Fourth of July Com mittee this year, as in past years.
 They are just a few people who are trying to build up the celebration into something that will put Seward on the map as place for people all over the Territory to spend a pleasant holiday and some money. A really good campaign would give incentive for runners from all over the Territory to come here for the annual Marathon Race The Womens long skirts and mems derbys could become a by-Word over the entire Terri tory, as we'll as along west coast towns.
 The idea is good. There is the talent within the town, and it can be done. All that is needed is a little community spirit and small amount of the time of lots of people instead of all of the time of one group or organ ization. !
 Everyone in town is invited to assist in the preparation, every one can do something. If enough . of you have read this far, maybe there is hope after all.
 Remember, Rome wasn't built in day, but it wasn't built by one man, either.

J. Perry Graves, local chairman
for the currant Polio campaign,
was guest speaker before the
GeOrgetown-MillsborO Rotary Club
last week. He outlined solicitation
areas assigned to the civic clubs
and others and stressed the point
that funds collected are for the
benefit of polio sufferers, their
treatment and care and for re-
search work. He said that while
Delaware as a state had only 4S
cases in 1850, compared to As in
1949, that Sussex County had 10
cases the past year, compared to Z
in 1949. He gave some figures on
the cost of cases which have come
under the Sussex Chapter, where
in one instance a a single case has
required the expenditure of over
$6,OOO.O0. He called attention to the
fact that the Susser. Chapter. had
purchased an iron lung for use Of
Sussex patients, which is located
in Beebe Hospital; a Sinatron for
use at Doris Memorial and tho re-
cent purchase of the Kinocycle,
which is at present housed in
Jones Memorial Hall, in George
town, where it is being used by
polio sufferers in the rehabilitation
of paralyzed muscles. He also en-
phasized the fact that Delaware is
one of three states which has not
borrowed from the National Foun-
dation, but has met its own emer-
gencies. The other two states are
Rhode Island and Florida and also
the District of Columbia.
The speaker was introduced by
Molloy G. Vaughn, of Dixie-Del
Farms, who had charge Of the pro-
gram. In his Introductory remarks,
Mr.. Vaughn told of what it means
for polio to strike in your own FAM
lily and cited the instance when his
son, Capt. Stephan Vaughn was
stricken with polio while in camp
in Texas, and told of his treatment
and recovery.
