City Council Lists
 Public Owned Lots To Be Sold In Sept.

A list of real estate owned by the City of Seward is being pub lished for sale by individual bid, with bids to begin at 50 per cent of the assessed valuation.
 Those lots advertised for sale do not comprise the entire num- Der of city owned property, al though more will probably be listed at a future date, accord ing to Harry Southard, assessor.
 There are a number of lots in the Laubner Addition that should not be sold singly, but the entire area subdivided for development as a whole, MT. Southard states, because of the rough terrain in that section.
 The city has title to several lots in Cliff Addition that are classed as school reserve. Terms of the Patent would make this property revert to the federal government if used for anything other than school purposes.
 Some original townsite lots not included in the advertised list are now being used by the city. The Army has been grant ed temporary use of several lots for vehicle storage, and others are being held for possi ble future needs of the city.

To The Editor:

Several members of the Sen ate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs are scheduled to arrive at Ketchikan on Au- gust 16 to hold hearings on statehood and perhaps other matters. Hearings have been set for Ketchikan, Juneau, Fair banks and Anchorage. The com mittee is going to Nome but so far as 1 know no hearings are to be held there.
 I am already receiving com munications from other com munities requesting my assist ance in altering the itinerary so that more communities will be visited. This is sent to you to inform you that much as I should like to do so, am power less to alter the itinerary. This is under the exclusive control of the Senate committee, and the trip will not represent joint inquiry by the Senate and House of Representatives.
 It is my intention to accom- pany the group at the invitation of Senator Butler, but shall be going along only as guest. l thought it best to outline the procedure now because I regret as much as you do the fact that the time of the Senators will not permit their visiting all the Alaska towns.

to shout greeting and orders, but
later in the evening she moved
about among the tables and
even sat down for awhile with

Texas knew I was frightened

me up.

Dry or baby-f1ne hair will bene-
fit from a creme shampoo with
lanolin or from a hot, oil re-
conditioning shampoo. The
best all-around shampoo many
women find is the pure, blended
liquid CASTLE.
Do a thorough shampooing
job. Cleanse around the hair
line where makeup tends to clog
skin pores. If your hair is extra
oily, repeat the shampoo process.
Rinsing is all important. If
you leave a soap film on your
hair, everything else is to no
avail. Keep rinsing until the
hair is completely free from any
traces of soap.
Hand or brush dry your hair
letting the air circulate freely If
you are doing it at home.

Biological and medical research

avenues for the treatment of
diseases such as cancer and over

crop improvement and steriliza-

Century Club was told yesterday.
DR.. Charles L. Dunham, chief
of the Medical Branch of the
Aces Division of Biology and
Medicine, addressed the group at
its monthly meeting in the
YWCA.
DR.. Dunham reviewed what is
being done to treat internal
cancers with ionizing radiation.

radiation can be directed into
the cancer without burning the
skim" he pointed out, thus
avoiding the skin burns which
have been the bugaboo of the
radiotherapist ever since X-rays
were first used to treat internal
cancer"
The speaker expressed the
opinion, however, that killing
cancer cells is not the anSwec
to the cancer problem.
Using radiation to kill cancer
cells does not stop cancer or its
growth in other parts of the
body" he said. But, I do feel
that the development of radio
active isotopes has contributed
to the solution of the problem. -"
DR.. Dunham said that use of
radio iodine is proving of value
in treatment of overactive thy
roid as well as in slowing down
normal activity of the gland in
order to avoid strain on certain
types of failing hearts.
In another field, the Acc
specialist said scientists at the
Brookhaven National Laboratory
are now studying for possible

radiating oat seeds with neu-

DR.. Dunham said there are
"great poSSibilities" in the use
of radioactivity in the steriliza-

the foods would not be made
radioactive but that the steril-
ization process might change
their taste somewhat.

There's nothing like compli-
menting a woman on a pretty
new hairdo to really make her
feel good.
But whether or not you've
treated yourself to a new hair
style you should remember that
a setting can only go so far. It's
up to your own nimble fingers to
keep your hair looking as nice
during the week as it did when
you left the beauty salon.
If more women took time to
really "do" their own hair rather
than sticking a couple of bobby
pins helter skelter when the
curls start their dropping action,
more hair lines would stay in a
lot better than they do.
You can hang on to the pretti-
ness of your hairdo by simply
pinning it up dry for the first
three or four nights after it's
been set or you yourself have
set it. Place boobies in the di-

up in yelling or a net so the pins
won't slip out. Next morning
you'll find on combing your hair
out that the waves and curls

you how the curls are turned to
