GIRL SCOUT COOKIES ARE SELL-OUT

The Girl Scout Cookie Sale went over bigger than anticipat- ed. Many people have not had their orders filled.
 More cookies have been or dered. It will be about three weeks before they arrive. How ever, all orders which have been taken will be filled before any other orders are taken.
 The Brownie and Girl Scout Troops which meet in the Meth odist Church are sorry to lose Mrs. H. Christensen who has been one of the leaders helping in both troops. She has been very popular leader and worker with every phase of Scouting this winter, and they will be looking for her back this fall.

Seohowk Is Voted Mcsf VoIuoble RaiEbeI+ Player

Bonnie Lewis, captain of the Seward SeahaWks was almost unanimously selected as most valuable player" in the Anchor age Times Railbclt Conference basketball team which was an nounced this week.
 The selection was made by coaches Bob Critics, Palmer: Slick Wolheter of Fairbanks; Bud Ottmar, Anchorage; Don Dalberg, Seward; and Red Murray of station kENI who broadcast the conference games.
 In voting for Lewis, Coach Dalberg said that the Seward boy was more responsible for Seward winning the Railbelt Conference than any other play CT and he certainly held the team together.
 His value to us was shown very clearly when he couldn't play in the Class A Western Alaska Tournament. I am sure that with him we would have been battling for the champion ship Of the tournament. He is also one of the finest sportsmen l have ever been privileged to coach.
 Don Sanders of Seward and Chuck Mills of Palmer both narrowly missed making the first team Pedro Denton was named with Joe Tremarello of Fairbanks as the most under rated players in the conference. They tied with Bob Seppi for the fifth spot on the second team.

The testimony of General kep- ner and Assistant Secretary of the Army Bundetson before the House Appropriations Commit tee just published this week, confirms b yond any reasonable doubt what most Seward folks had known for years: That Sew ards natural position makes it's port absolutely essential to the logistics of Alaskan develop meht, both military and civilian.

Seword C. of C. Asks Crificu al Area
 Housing Aid for Area

At the luncheon of the Seward Chamber of Commerce last Tuesday, the membership passed a unanimous resolution to peti- tion the President of the United States to designate the city and vicinity as a critical defense housing area
 According to Public Law 139. any civic organization may make such a petition. If the designa- tion should be made," Jay Stauter stated, building materi- als and materials for construc- tlOn of community facilities would be easier to get The Public Law 139 provides for as sistance in housing, hospitals, recreation, water purification, streets and roads and sewage disposal Aid to the municipality in any one of these items would relieve the strain of providing the rest.
 An increase of 20 per cent in population was indicated by the increase in school population as shown in a survey made by Carl R. Carlson, superintendent of schools. The increase is also proven by the census taken by churchmen late in 1851.
 People are pouring into town every day looking for work and housing. Many Workmen bring their families for whom there is no place to live.
 The Seward Housing Area under management of Alaska Housing Authority will eventual ly be replaced with permanent buildings, but this offers no i'm mediate solution to the problem, it was stated. Lack of materials and the need for priorities has delayed the private home build ing to the point that it is prac- tically non-eXistcn MT. Stauter commented in reply to questions from the floor Even with the unWelcOme controls imposed under the critical housing area designation, housing might be provided more rapidly with the ultimate lifting of controls after the emergency. ..- :.....
 More than 50 per cent of real property in Seward is govern ment owned or operated. This is non taxable and brings in no tax revenue to the city. Unless some payment in lieu of taxes or other assistance is given, the city will be unable to provide even the most common utilities and service to the people com ing in. This was pointed out during the discussion of the resolution.
 Jay Stautcr is seer ctary of committee appointed by Cham Der Of Commerce president Tor mod Bic, to study the situation and report on a possible sOlu- ton Other members of the committee ar Clarence Kcat- ing, Carl F. Carlson, and Rev. Kent SpauIding.

PRESIDENTIAL RACE

Stevenson's attack on Mccarthy
followed by only few hours Pres
ident Truman's accusation that
Eisenhower had betrayed his life
long principles and his best friend
by embracing moral pigmies"
Mccarthy and Sen. William E.
Jenner, Indiana Republican seek
ing reelection.
Both senators have attacked
MarshalPs integrity and patriot
ism, Jenner calling the general
front for traitors"
To this evidence that Stevenson
and Truman were working with
the same signals was added the
sign that Sparkman was running
in the same back field.
Touring West Virginia's coal
field areas, Sparkman plugged
away at the theme that the Dem
ocrats had brought this country
prosperity which it would lose if
the Republicans win next month.
The Illinois governor dashed out
in his Madison speech against
what he said was talk by the Re-
pubIicans about american divi-
sion, weakness, hesitation and
fear"
In an obvious reference to what
he regards as COP campaign tao
tics, he declared:
''Some, perhaps, find it polite
ally profitable to cultivate the
vineyards of anxiety. / would warn
them lest they reap the grapes Of
wrath.
II believe that our people have
begun to tire of hearing how weak
they are, how feeble is their faith,
how urgent il is to limit and sur
render their freedom. l would say:
Enough of this weakness and
eOwardice."
Asserting that America has dis
covered "a new resolution In the
face of adversely and a new seren-
ity in the face of crisis" Steven
son added:
IL have said elsewhere in the
campaign that this election is a
struggle between accusation and
fear, and confidence and faith. /
say to you today that we need not
dwell in fear"
The Democratic nominee ap-
pealed to the youth of the country
TO join his party's ranks.
'Your world has troubles of its
own perhaps greater troubles
than those Of 20 years ago" he
said. "But one worry you are
spared is the worry of finding
job. When you finish college and
military service, you win enter a
world which wants and needs
you"
He said the Democrats, under
Franklin d. Roosevelt. had whip.

Of Interest To You, But -.
Too Late 70 Classify

dragged on for over year.......A
foreign policy which has made this
nation a laughing stock. Waste in
administering billions in honestly
intended foreign relief.
It contends that the Northern
(controlling) wing Of the Demo-
cratic party no longer represents
the true Democrats of the South.
1T has harbored Communists in
high places and labeled all attempts
to dislodge them s.red herring"
It considers that the party's NOM
inee was handpicked by Harry Tru-
man and that the basis for the sell
ection was knowledge that if elect
ed this candidate would continue
the Truman policies and direct the
nation further down the road to
disaster and corruption.
The Clay County resolution points
out that the platform of the Ma
tional Democratic Party is a So
cialistic program and deserts the
fundamental democratic principles
upon which the party was founded,
and which principles were adhered
to prior to the advent of the "New
Deal" and Fair Deal'' cliques who
have stolen the party name and the
national party machinery.
II denounces waste and extrava-
gance and the growth Of a gigantic
central government bureaucracy in
Washington. 1t points out that both
nominees have again and again in
dictated their intention to continue
to follow the Fair Deal line with its
trend to socialism, centralized bu-
reaucracy, civil rights program,
including the FEPC.
II calls attention to the fact that
the election laws of Florida pro-
vide that Democrats shall vote on
Iy for a majority of the nominees
Of the party in order to qualify as
Democrats, and opposes placing
blind loyalty to the party label
above God and country.
It points out that the platform
and nominees of the Republican
National Convention are not wholly
acceptable to the Clay County
Democratic Executive Committee
but that said platform and NOM
inees do more nearly conform to
the official platform of our COM
mittee than do the National DEM
Ocratic nominees.
1t closes by respectfully urging
Florida Democrats to support state
and local nominees, but vote for
Eisenhower for President. This re.
volt of Democrats seems to be
general throughout the state and is
growing.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1952-10-08

It appears that not all Florida
Democrats are so imbued with
down-the-line party loyalty that the
are willing to march meekly to the
polls and vote the Democratic
ticket whether or no.
Southern Democrats are far from
happy. They realize now that they
have been taken for a grand and
glorious ride and they are deeply
hurt and angered. Evidence of this
is becoming more and more appar-
ent.
In my mail this morning I re-
ceived a circular issued by the
Columbia County Democrats for
Eisenhower. 1t is refreshing and
haspeaks hope for America. It adj
vocates that voters put patriotism
above party, principles above pol
tics and urges Democrats to vote
for Eisenhower, McCarty and Holl-
and.
In the same mail / received a
copy of a resolution adopted by
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1952-10-08

the Clay County Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee that voices the
same sentiments and urges support
for Eisenhower but calls for party
support as far as state and local
candidates are concerned.
The Columbia County circular
and the Clay County resolution both
state in understandable terms why
such action is taken.
Space does not permit use of the
complete text Of either document
here but the meat Of the coconut
Is found In a complete loss of con-
fidence in the present so-called
Democratic National Administra-
ton and a heartfelt desire to turn
the rascals out and start anew.
Among the reasons cited and CHI
arged against the present admin
istration are: The leakage of our
atomic and other vital secrets to
Russia.......Mink coats and deep
freezes. Grain storage thefts........
Internal Revenue Scandals.
Whitewash of, or callous indiffer-
ence to countless other dishonest
and improper acts.
Disapproval Of our bungling Of
foreign affairs. War in Korea and
loss Of China to the Communists.
...The peace discussions that have
