SEWARD. NEBRASKA ALSO WORRIED OVER SCHOOLS

The Seward, Nebraska weekly newspaper, the Blue Valley Blade, is now on the exchange list with the Seaport Record, and the first copy of the sister city paper May D is in this office for any who care to read it.
 A few comparisons might be interesting to local readers. For instance, the name CordoVa catches the eye, and remember ing our neighbOr, COrdoVa, Al aSka, one immediately stops to read the news of that city, which is a neighbor to Seward, Ne braska.
 Prices always make us vince by comparison. The Blue Valley Blade is advertising fresh dress ed local chickens at 55 cents per pound, just half of what we are glad to pay to get local chicken. Their prices on canned goods and dry packaged food are not much different, but fresh vegetables and fruitS.!. Meats seem to be about half of what we pay: chuck roast, 65 cents and bacon 35 cents.
 The large farming community in Seward County, Nebraska, brings in much news and adver- Using of kind entirely foreign to Seward, Alaska. We stopped to read an advertisement for Pig Mama that was most in trlguelng. There being no farms at all near us, we learncd a great deal about pigs thru Pig Mama which comes in paper sacks like dog feed.
 Bowling league scores com pare faVorably with ours, only little lower. An interchange of bowling games by mail has been suggested for next season. Cheer up, LOngshOremcn, you have good chance!
 Legion and VFW Auxiliary news sounds familiar, as does WSCS, All, and church items.
 The Blade" is urging people to go to the polls and vote for school bond. How familiar that is, with our second school bond in three years facing Us in Sew ard, Alaska.
 One thing we Alaskan Sew ardites have that our friends do not, however, is Marathon Mountain. In a coming issue of the Record we will have a pie ture of the mountain race course which we hope will interest some Nebraskan enough to have them pay us visit on July 4th and maybe get in on some of the big prize money.
 A man from Kansas Ca sand runner) made third place last year, why not a Nebraskan?

ESKIMOS MAKE PLEA FOR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION
From JesScns s Weekly:


 We people at kobuk, Alaska, would like to have a school for our school-age children which we do not have, and we do not want our children to grow with out being abIa to read and write, as they are American citizens and am sure they want to be and live the American way of life
 We are Eskimo people and we pay taxes, such as school tax, property tax, income tax, to- bacco tax, which is only for schools Gan earmarked fund) and the few who mine gold pay the federal gold tax.
 We feel justified in asking for this school and would cher ish it, for it is the heritage of every American citizen to be able to read and write or have the opportunity to learn. We have a future as this locality is highly mineralized, and we have jade which is mined with success every year on a small scale with the possibility of expanding.
 We have river transportation which scoWs come right from the coast by literage company. We have an airport which can handle pcs planes, which is only five miles away, built by the CAA, and would meet all needs for radio and weather forecasts.
 We get mail by air three times a week We have post office here and also trading post with reasonable prices.
 If only we had a school for cur children then it would make it so we could keep on living here and not force Us to leave to wherever there is a school.
 We would be willing to do our share in getting this school If there IS anything that you can do for us, l am sure it will be appreciated.
 TT h hankin g you for your trouble,
 Sincerely,
 Charles A. Sheldon
 "PS. We want Territorial school,
 Here are the names of our school-agc children. Nina liar vcy, Ida Ward, Elmer Ward, Larena Sheldon, Alex Sheldon, Donald Sheldon, Barnice liar ner, Lydia Mark, Violet Wood, Larry Custer, John Custer, And other younger children are catching up.
 Copies of this letter have been sent to Oscar l.. Chapman, Secretary of the Interior; Gov ernor Ernest Gruening, Senator Tom Connally of Texas, and Commissioner of Education at Juneau.

Negro Vote To Play
Decisive Role In 1852
Presidential Election
BY RANDOLPH l.. WHITE

II the predictions of some veteran po-
htlcal prophets are true, the ebony-hued
vote is slated to play decisive role in this
years presidential election.
Coored America is expected to march
on the polls as never before. 1t seems to
be becoming more conscious of what it has
at stake than at any time since the sign
ing OF the Emancipation Proclamation
However, this year--as it has been for the
past twenty years--the overwhelming ma
lority of American Negroes will again
throw their support to the Democratic ma
tional ticket. They do not wish to be bit
by the same dog twice, even though per-
iod of twenty years has elapsed since the
last bite. No. the Negro wants no more
bread lines or apple selling days
Todays statistics show that the Negro
vote in the National Elections of 1913 to-
tailed 100000 Of this number, 2,450,0O0
were cast in the northern and western
states.
The predictions for 1862 are that at
least 100000 Negroes will vote in the
north and west, while 1,25O,0O0 votes will
votes will be cast by those below the Ma
son-Dixon Line, a total of 3,950,000 votes.
Both Negro organizations and organized
labor are scanning carefully the records
of the members of both houses of Congress
and will support only those whose records
have been most friendly to the interests
of the common people of America. Both
groups have quite bit at stake and both
are overwhelmingly behind the Stevenson
Sparkman ticket.
So, as it appears to us at this time, a
bolt by our Deliberate brethren--which is
quite unlikely--will be drastically check
mated this November.

Ihrongs Crowd Buchanan Church To
Witness Dedication Of Baptistry And
First Baptizing In The Church
SERMON DELIVERED BY
REV. A. l.. JAMES

Throngs from far and near,
crowded into the First Bap-
fist Church in Buchanan Sun
day, August 3, to witness
the dedication of a new bap-
tistry and the first baptizing
in the church. This marked
the beginning of a most ex-
tentive renovation program
launched by the church.
DR.. "A. l.. James, the most
esteemed pastor of the great
First Baptist Church in Roa-
noke, delivered the dedica-
torial sermon. He was richly
supported by h is senior
choir which is directed by
Mrs. H. T. Penn with Mr..
David Traynham as pianist.
One Of the added features
of the service was the selec-
ton sung jointly by the
First Baptist Choir of Roa-
noke and the First Baptist
Choir of Buchanan. The ded-
icatorial prayer was offered
by Deacon John Holland of
the visiting church.
Assisting in the baptismal
rites were Deacon James T..
Carr of the Schaeffer Me-,
mortal Baptist C h ur C h,
G h ri t iansburg; Deacon
Clayton of the First Baptist
Church, Cloverdale; Deacon
Coles and Deacon Holland
of Roanoke; Deacons Terry
and Smith of Buchanan.
There were visitors in the
congregation FIR o m Rich
mond, Staunton, Roanoke,
Christiansburg, Blacksburg,
California and all the sur
rounding communities. This
was indeed a history making
affair that will long be
pleasantly remembered.
The pastor, Rev. F. E. AL
exander, is loud in his praise
of the officers and membersl
of the church for their will
ing cooperation in making
the progress of the church
possible. This is only the be-
ginning of greater things to-

NeWSFOr Veterans

Education and training benefits compar-
able to those for World War ii veterant in
the original CT Bill are provided for vet
Grams who have served in the armed forces
anywhere since June 27, 1850, under terms
of the new CT Bill for Korean veterans,
which became law with the Presidents
signature on July 16.
The new law took effect on that date,
but no training allowances may be paid
for any period prior to August 20.
A veteran is allowed one and one half
days of training for each day he had in
service after the outbreak of the Korean
neutrality-suspicious. of where the service
was performed--up to maximum of IS
months
However, veterans who have previously
trained under earlier veterans training
laws--the World War II CT Bill or Public
Laws 16 or 894 for the disabled--may get
up to 48 months minus whatever time they
have already spent in training under those
earlier programs
veteran may train in school or college,
on-the-jeb or on-the-farm SO long as the
school or training establishment has been
approved by an appropriate State Approx
ing Agency and meets other qualifications
of the law. Only one change of course pro-
gram is allowed, except under certain con-
ditions determined by the VA
Veterans in CT Bill training will receive
an education and training allowance each
month from the Government to meet part
of the expenses of their training and liv-
ing costs. Tuition, books, supplies and
equipment will not be paid by the Gov
ernnent Instead, they will have to- be
paid out of the monthly allowance
Rates for veterans in full-time training
in schools and colleges range from $11O to
$160 per month, depending on the num-
Der of dependents. Those in training less
than full time will receive lower monthly
rates. For on-the-job trainees the top
monthly rates vary from $40 to $1O5. For
Institutional on-farm trainees the rates
range from $95 to $50. The law requires
that on-job and on-farm rates be reduced,
at four-month intervals, as the training
progresses and the veterans own earnings
increase. 1t also specifies that veterans
taking Institutional on-farm training must
devote full time to their program.
