In 1914, Nelson reported a $40

During 1945, the records reflect

about 10 per cent of the gross can

operation of the mental hospitals
was based on an expenditure OF

appeal for $25.029.545, which is
based on an expenditure of $3.50

Virginia stood 10th in the
United States in 1850 when it ap-

AVA Asks For Tourist Facility Irfcrnofion From Operators

Juneau-An appeal for tourist facility information was made this week by James w. Chad wick, executive director of the Alaska Visitors Association, 10 all individuals, companies and civic groups throughout Alaska, and bordering Canadian pro- VinceS. .=..
 One of the present stumbling blocks to building a bigger and better tourist industry in Alaska is the lack of complete inf0rma- tion about Alaska's tourist at fractions and accommodations We want everyone represented in this cOmpilation, which will be distributed to travcl editors, travel agents and individuals preparing trips to the territory" Chadwick said.
 The Association requests that every operator of a motel. hotel, o q c, r c |, transportation company, or other facility offer ing a service to the tourist, write the Alaska Visitors Association in Juneau, enclosing available literature, brochures or other printed and pictorial material. The letter should include the operators estimate of the avail ability of his accommodation for the coming season.
 "Of equal importance" Chad wick said, lis knowledge of events staged locally. Chambers of Commerce, Canadian Boards of Trade and other civic groups should send us details on any celebrations, fish derbys or other festivals which will be held this coming season."
 This information will be given nationwide distribution by the Alaska Visitors Association and in addition will be included in the publicity released by the Pacific Interim Travel Associa- ton of which the Alaska Visi- tors Association is a member.

Two representatives of the Anchorage Freight Distributors Company have been in Seward this week completing arrange msnts for a warehouse and load ing ramp. The company will oc- cupy the Brown & Hawkins warehouse building on Wash ington Street.
 Large freight trucks never before seen in Seward are rapid ly becoming a familiar sight. The several loads of heW auto mobiles being carried on trailer trucks last week caused consid- erable jubiiant comment. With completion of the highway, this sort of thing will become the commonplace, but while it is a new accomplishment in this area it provides the populac- with thrill of hope in the future of Seward.

Seward. AIaska
 Versus Seward, Nebroska

Coach Don Dalberg announced this week that preliminary plans have been made with Coach Ralph BoWmaster, high school coach at Seward, Nebraska, for an airmail or telegraphic bowl ing meet between the Sea Hawks of Seward, Alaska, and Seward High School of Seward, N1bras ka, to take place this spring.
 Tentative plans have also been made for an airmail track meet between the two schools. This last, of course, depends on Whe- ther or not a track can be built, a team started, and how the weather turns out from now till school is out. The Chamber of Commerce has agreed to cooper ate and it is hoped that assist ance will be forthcoming in building a track. If the track meet does not develop this year it will definitely take place next year. and annually from then on.
 Ii is also hoped that perhaps a homeand-hOme basketball ser ies between the two schools can be worked out in the future and become a reality in a year or two.
 The idea for the contests was started by MT. Harold Davidson, owner of the Farmers Supply Company of Seward, Nebraska. He wrote to Coach Dalberg ask ing what could be worked out. After. Coach Dalberg answered favorably, Mir. Davidson report ed that both the Associated Press and United Press in the States are carrying stories about the contests. Also both radio and TV commentators are plugging the story. It is believed that this idea will give both communities and schools lot of wonderful publicity and provide wonderful experiences for the students of both schools
