LEGION EMBARRASSED WITH CAR AWARD

Embarrassed members of the American Legion Child Welfare Committee are explaining this week just how the Welfare Fund itself was awarded the Willys car which was given last week.
 It seems that members of the committee were forbidden to take tickets in their own name in the benefit program for which the car was to be award d. Wishing to boost the program however, members and others instead of using their own names simply wrote in Child Welfare Fund" when purchasing tickets. It was one of these which was chosen blindly to receive the award
 Now the committee still has either car or it's equivalent on its hands.

ALASKA STEAM TO CARRY EIGHT LOCOMOTIVES IN ONE HAUL

The largest movement of To- comotives ever to sail for Alas ka on one vessel is going to be handled by the Alaska Steam ship Company motorship Gads- den scheduled to sail from Seat tie around the middle of Jan uary.
 Eight new locomotives are in cluded: two for the US. Air Force and six for The Alaska Railroad. They will be discharg- ed from the Gadsden at Seward and Whittier.
 Since the destruction of the Whittier stiff leg by fire last spring, there is no heavy lift equipment in Alaska suited for handling tn SC locomotives, :" D. E. Skinner, president of the Alask a Steamship Company, pointed out, and we have there fore chartered the Gadsden for one trip from the American Eastern Corporation of New York to handle these and seven locomotives from Alaska to Se- attle for The Alaska Railroad. '"
 Toget ther valued at over S1,0OO,OOO the new Alaska Rail road locomotives are of 1900 horsepower each and average 115 tons in weight. They were built by the Electro-Motive Di- vision of General Motors Corp, LaGrange, Illinois. Three are for either passenger or freight trains: the other three are pri- marily for freight. The Air Force locomotives are of 85 tons each and were built in Erie, Pennsyl- vania.
 The Gadsden, a converted C1- MAV-1 is equipped especially for handling heavy rollin g equipment with special heavy lift boom and tracks in it's hold for carrying engines. This yes sel, heretofore, has been em- ployed to transport locomotives from the United States to Arabia and for a time was in Alaska service of Ocean Van Lines be- fore that company withdrew from the trade.

MINSTREL SHOW GOOD" BUT UNSUCCESSFUL FINANCIALLY

The minstrel show put on here by members of Anchorage VFW for the Seward Post American Legion child welfare benefit was said to have been very good show.
 Just enough jokes about Sew ard and Seward people were in cluded to give spice to the show without causing any ill feeling. Tt was a clean show and well done" seems to be the general description here.
 Financially, wever, the show was not successful. Coming as it did during a month when so many other fund raising cam paigns were in process, the out of-town performance did not draw as large a crowd as was hoped for.

Moose Take SeohoWks In Series At Palmer
By Coach Dalberg

The Seward High School Sea hawks journeyed to Palmer last weekend and lost both the Fri day and Saturday night games to the Palmer Moose.
 Although not playing the same caliber of ball they dis played against Fairbanks, their ball handling and floor play not nearly so sharp, the Seahawks played hard and Palmer won both games only in the last min ute.
 In the game Friday night, which Palmer won 45-39, it was a case of just not being able to hit the basket. Even then the game was close right up to the last minute when Palmer forged ahead when the Seahawks tried vainly to get the ball. Don Ing alls, missing only a very few shots, led Palmer with 18 points. Peter Wagner had 14 points to lead the Seward scoring.
 Saturday nights game at the end of the first half seemed to be the Seahawks' game. The first quarter ended 12-11 with Pal mer leading. Then Seward went to work and looked like they did against Fairbanks, moving the ball faster and driving in for better shots, to lead 30-23 at half-time. In the third quar- ter, however, the SeahaWks again lost their drive and were able to score only 4 points but were still leading 34-33 at the end of the third quarter. Kenny Bahr went out on fouls in the third quarter, followed by Dave Hughes about midway in the fourth quarter. Even at that with about one minute to go the score was tied 46-46. Then ser ies of fouls called on Seward gave P a l m r six consecutive foul shots without the ball leav- ing the Palmer end of the floor. The Palmer players would make the first shot and miss the sec ,ond and Palmer would get the ball and be fouled again. Palmer made three of the foul shots good and.--tWo baskets in the last minute to win 53-46. Again Don Ingalls, led Palmer with 21 points. Gene Boe led the Seward scoring with IA points.
 Although Seward lost both games, it gave the boys a chance to gain some wonderful eXperi- ence and considering that they were playing on the Palmer floor, which Is perhaps the hard est floor in the league on which to play, they did quite well. The boys still feel that Fair banks is the team to beat and feel that they can beat Palmer here at Seward.
 The next conference games will be with Anchorage in An cnorage on January 3th and 9th. Following that the Seahawks will play Cordova in pair of non-conIerence games at Seward on January 10th and 16th.

A new thing was added this year-music in the community Christmas tree. The tree stand ing in front of the city hall has a speaker concealed within it's branches and many lights.

 On Wednesday night at 7;30 transcription of the schools Christmas program was given from the tree. Joe SibrowSki had recorded the musical program for this purpose.
