Community Library pIuns Extension

Seward Community Library begins it's 26th year of service to the public with the announce ment of new officers, and pro- gram of expansion.
 Officers elected to carry the program through 1851 are Mrs. Viola T. SWetmann, president; Mrs. Elsie Whitmore, vice-presi- dent; Mrs. Emma Jones, secre- tary-treasurer.
 Members of the Library Board are Mrs. Arreta Howell, Mrs. Hazel Erwin, Mrs. Grace Cam pen, and Mrs. Bessie Malloy. Mrs. Sybil Reed is librarian.
 The Board submits the finan- cial report for the year, showing the organization to be self sup porting. Crowded conditions have made it necessary to en- large the library to accommodate the new books being added all the time, and new heating sys- tttn win be needed.
 The Bank of Seward, owner of the building in which the li- brary is situated, has generously offered to add the new room without cost to the library, pro- viding that the Board will do the painting and decorating.
 You will note,' the report states, that we only pay S21 per month rent, which includes light and heat. We do hope that all our patrons whose dues cards have expired or anyone else in terested m having a good library in our town will renew subscrip- ton cards, so it will not be necessary to make a drive for extra funds. If every adult in town would take years mem bership at $2.00 each, and every school child a one dollar mem bership, we would have plenty of funds to do the necessary work. Every woman on this Board has given generously of her time to help maintain the library. Will you help to con tinue this good Work?"
 The new room will be a chil. dren's room, with more atten-

METHODIST MEN TO SHOW WOMEN HOW TO COOK

The men of the Methodist Church will prepare the Family Night Dinner to be served to 7he church membership and their friends Saturday night, Jan. 20 ttomorrow) in the dining
 hall at 6;30 pm.
 The gentlemen will concen- trate on an extra special dish, which, it is said, would tickle and tantalize the palate of the most exacting gourmet. Anyone who wants such non. essentials as pickles and olives, is invited to bring his own. Fur some unexplained reason, everyone must bring his own dish and spoon. Rev Irwin says
 that if you use a knife and fork, bring them too The ladies suspect that the fellows are just trying to get out of washing the dishes, and have the idea that if the customers bring their own dishes, they will take them home to be washed. That sounds like a good idea, at that.
 In addition to the dinner. the gentlemen have arranged a spe- clal entertainment for the eve ming.
 This is a fellowship dinner, not a money making affair."" Rev. Irwin stated. However, to help defray the cost of the main dish, a free will offering will be taken at the door.

Busy Yecr for Kenui Division. Chugoch NufionuI Forest

The year 19OU saw many worthwhile accomplishments on the Kenai Division of the Gnu zach National Forest, R. A. Schwartz, supervisor, reported recently.
 Several new roads were con- structed in the vicinity of Coop CT Landing. A short access road at Cooper Creek has opened up a scenic timber spot which will be developed for public recrea- tion use. Sanitary and picnic facilities will be installed this comlng season and in 19o2. The East Quartz Creek road was ex- tended along the shore of kenai Lake to provide access to sum- mer home lots. These two roads were constructed by Stewart & Muir Excavating Co.,, Seward. M. P. Munter Company complet- ed the new Snug Harbor Road extending east from the Kenai River bridge to point beyond Chugach Lodge. This road al- lows access to summer homes, homesites and homesteads pre- viously reached by trail and boat.
 A forest service trall crew under Ralph R. Harris, Cooper Landing, constructed a 12x14 shelter cabin at Lower Russian Lake. This cabin is provided with four hunks and Yukon stove and is open the year around for the general public. Campers will find this shelter located between the Russian Lakes Trail and the lower lake, five miles from the highway at Schooner Bend.
 A new group of 23 summer home lots at East Quartz Creek was opened in August. Several of these lots remain open for ap- plication at the present time The addition of new homesite and summer home lots depends mainly upon the final location of the new highway construction and upon special access roads to be built by the Forest Service It is expected that the demand for summer homes will greatly increase when the highway is open to Anchorage
 An entry on the debit side of the ledger is the fire loss sus. tained here last year, A total oi B fires was suppressed by For est Service fire crews. An un pcecedented late season stretched into October, when two large fires swept isolated areas with in the National Forest.
 Fifteen hundred acres at Swar Lake were deStroyed while { simultaneous fire at Big Indian River on the Chickaloon Flat: blackened 1000 acres. Forum ately no valuable improvements or commercial timber were de stroyed. Although the origin oi the fire has not yet been def. initely established, they are thought to have been starteal by hunters.
 R. A. Schwartz, present super visor, succeeded Max V. Roger on September 5 Schwartz was ranger at Craig, Alaska, on Prince of Wales Island, prior to assignment here He is a forestry graduate of University of Min nesota and a World War II Army pilot.

Book Sale Report Is
Heard; Founders Day
Celebrated By P-TA

A gratifying report on the Book
Fair given by the Rockville Ele-
mentary School in December, was
heard at the monthly meeting of
the P-TA held Tuesday night in
the Richard Montgomery High
School Cafeteria. Mrs. Joseph
Piazza, chairman of the Book Fair,
stated that the School Library has
been furnished with 159 new books,
with eight more to be added later,
in addition to a balance of $40 to
the P-TA's credit. A total of
$550.72, including 1892 from a
rattle, was taken in, she said. 1t
was pointed out that although the
Association had advanced $500 to
back the sale, none of it was used.
The P-TA program centered
around Founders Day, and refresh
ments included an appropriately
decorated cake. In honor of Boy
Scout Week, local Cubs displayed
exhibits and showed film.
Further plans concerning the
Spring Festival to be sponsored
by the P-TA on Friday, March
16, were revealed by Mrs. William

Personnel Outlines New
County Pay Schedule

Georgia Avenue, took the seats
vacated by the students.
The 85 Blair students, members
of class in Senior Problems, were
under the leadership of Kennard
Rhodes. They spent the day in
Rockville, visited the Circuit Court,
Orphans Court and other county
offices and toured the Lofstrand
Plant before attending Council
meeting.
Lincoln High Schools 81 pupils
from 9B Core class, were in the
charge of a teacher, Mrs. Dhara-
thula Millender; and a student,
Wilbur Clagett.
Most of the Georgia Avenue resi-
dents objected vociferously to hav-
ing the cost of the construction of
proposed sidewalks in the Woodside
area assessed against adjoining
property. Many of them said they
did not want any sidewalks.
County Manager Irving G. Nc
Nayr has recommended that the
affected property-owners pay half
the cost of installing the sidewalks,
which he estimates would be at a
rate of $136 per assessable foot,
with the county paying the other
half.
Most of the property owners who
spoke at the hearing protested it
was unfair for them to have to
pay even half of the cost, since
the county had completely financed
construction of sidewalks on a
similar project along Wisconsin
Avenue in Bethesda, last year. Mr..
McNayr countered that the prece-
dent on the Wisconsin Avenue pro-
iect cannot be defended" He add
ed that the county paid for the
sidewalks because at was way to
get the job done"
One of the witnesses VINO oppos-
ed any assessment against the
Georgia Avenue residents was
Joseph Buscher, assistant Attorney
General for Maryland and admin
istrative director of the right-of-
way division of the State Roads
Commission. He spoke at the hear
ing as an individual and not as
representative of the commission.
The Council will announce it's
decision on who shall pay for the
new sidewalks at a later date.
In other actions the appointment
of Dwite Harold Armentrout of
Washington, at an annual salary of
$1,000, as inspector with the en-
cheering division of the Depart
ment of Public Works, was APP
proved. A quit-claim deed convey
ing Langley Island, Isle of Hope
and Dots Island in the tenth cleo
tion district of Montgomery Coun-
ty unto John c. Mackall was also
authorized. The claim for damages
to three turkeys by unknown wild
dogs in the amount of 1886, filed by
Gertrude H. Darby of Boyds, was
ordered paid.

Rural Montana Mas Few More
Phones Than In 1920

Over period of 80 years the num-
Der of telephones in rural Montana
homes increased only PA in number.
in 1920, according to REA there
were 9,781 farm homes with tele-
phone service. in 1850 the number
had grown to 1895.
Indicative of the trend toward
larger farming units, the 1920 total
Of 9,781 represented only II per cent
of all Montana farms with phone
service. The 1850 figure although
only PA greater, represented 28.5
per cent of the total number of farms.
Nation-wise, according to REA,
the percentage of American farms
with telephones is almost back to the
level of 80 years ago. Census takers
in 1850 found that 1873 per cent of
all us. farms had telephone service,
as compared to 1877 per cent in 1920.
Numerically, 100000 fewer farms
had telephones in 1850 than in 1920.
Reports compiled by REA show that
in 1850 there were 2,059,47 tele-
phones on farms. In 1920 there
were 2,498,493.
In contrast with the farm telephone
situation, in the Is years since the
Rural Identification Administration
vas established, the percentage of
farm homes with central station cleo
,ricity has jumped from around IL
Der cent to more than "a per cent
,oday.
