Nebraska Trip Funds Coming In Now
By Charles Malin

The first returns for the trip to Nebraska have begun to come in. The unions cleared two hun dred dollars for the fund on their Thanksgiving turkey pro ject. Our thanks to the dispatch CTS, who did such a fine job that their complete returns came in a week early, We now have six hundred and fifty dollars raised (about one-tenth). Many other events are scheduled to take place in the near future The next one is a turkey dinner to be given by the ladies of the American Legion Auxiliary this Sunday night, starting at five o'clock. This is good chance to get in some advance training for your regular Thanksgiving din ner on Thursday. Take the en- tire family and do a tWo-way job. Keep mother out of the kitchen for a day of rest while we are helping to send the boys to Nebraska.
 Several new names have been added to the list of those who wish to go with us on the trip and pay their own way. The cost will be about one hundred and fifty dollars round trip on the plane, In order to know exactly how many are definitely going we will have to have some cash on hand in the near future. The committee suggests that it will be happy to accept twenty-five dollars a month from now until the plane pulls out. Of course, anyone that would like to put more on the line will not be turned down We are still short of the required amount for a DC-4 and pcs will not per init any to pay their own way. So don't delay your decision. Let us know right away-and start getting your money in so we can tell exactly where we stand.

The truck, struck with great force from the rear, was hurled completely around and into the lagoon with only the front bumper out of water, according to unofficial reports Perkins, an Alaska Rail road employee, was rendered un- conscious and would probably have drowned but for the quick work of Police Officer Bundy who saw the accident and res cued the injured man from the cab of the truck which was rap idly filling with water.
 The crash occurred when a cab driven by Dwight Meighan at what is described as an eXces- sive rate of speed, ploWed into the rear of the truck. Robert Mickey) McManus, another cab driver, who was riding as passenger in the front seat with Meighan, and the driver were taken to Seward General Hospital along with Perkins by Officer Bundy. Both men suf- fered severe injuries about the face and throat and are reported by the hospital as in critical" condition today According to police, glass from the windshield severed throat muscles, wind pipe and trachea to the extent that only miracle of surgery can save Meighan's life. The other was cut on the face and may lose an eye. Both men were still living, however, at press time today.

Several Resolutions Passed Nm Democratic Caucus

Seward Democrats met in Caucus last Tuesday night and elected precinct officers. Clar- ence Heating was elected tenn porary oh m n with Jack Werner as vice chairman, to take over when Heating moves from Seward as he expects to do in the near future. Katheryn Ling was elected secretary.
 Fifteen delegates were chosen to attend the district convention in Anchorage. They are: Ray c. Lee, Harry West, Jack Werner, Foster M. Samburn, Heating, Nils Hagen, Mrs. Ling, Laura Heating, C. P. Gilliland, Louise Larsen, Mrs. Harry West, Esther Werner, Mary Elizabeth Lee, Melvin Dec and Margaret Dec.
 A committee of four was ap- pointed to work out details for reorganization of ward Democratic Club. They are Jack Werner, Harry West, Ray Lee and Katheryn Ling. This com mittee will report their findings at later meeting.
 The Caucus went on record with several resolutions. The first complimented Delegate E. L. (Bob) Bartlett on his work in Congress on ARR. rehabili- tation and Seward dock and on his support of the Alaska Pub lie Works program and exten- sion
 A telegram was sent to Harry Truman "complimenting him on his defense of the office of the President" referring to his radio a d dres s broadcast nationally that same day.
 The group endorsed immedi- ate statehood for Alaska and the proposed increase in motor fuels tax. They also went on record as advocating that the Territory set aside funds for construction and maintenance of at least one arteriaf highway through each community, stress ing their belief that such high ways are territorial function rather than the expense of the community.
 Seward Democrats also called for change in dental licensing procedure which will allow license on reciprocal agreement to any dentist who has been li- censed in any state. This follows the example of other professions in the Territory.
 They also went on record as favoring government support of hydroelectric development in the Territory including the Grants Lake project on Kenai Penin- Sula and more careful exam ination of school bus equipment and drivers in areas outside city school districts, particularly the small territorial h ools which are thought to provide inferior and, at present, unsafe transportation.

Suggestions Offered On Chrisfmos Muilinq

The Seward Post Office wishes to bring to the attention of the public that early mailing of Christmas articles will pay dou- ble dividends, first by avoiding the laSt-minute rush, and second by assuring delivery of mail to the addressee before Christmas.
 Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day are the best days of the week to mail packages, as there is less standing in line on those days. Packages mailed up to 5 pm. ol Thursdays, however, will be dispatched on the Thurs day boat.
 There are four Thursday boats scheduled out of Seward which will carry mail before Christmas, Nov. 26 and Dec. 3, 10 and IT. Mail dispatched on Dec. 3 should be delivered to the East Coast before Christmas, and mail dispatched on Dec. 10 to points on the West Coast should be delivered in time for Christ mas. It is suggested, however, that early mailings would be more advantageous. Mail dis patched on the boat leaving Sew ard Dec. IT, should reach Seat tie about Dec. 23.
 Postmaster Larson also gives a word on mailing of Christmas greeting cards. Patrons having a number of greeting cards to de posit are urged to tie them in bundles with addresses all faced one way before mailing so as to facilitate their handling in the poStoffice.
 Greeting cards bearing parti- cleS of glass, metal, mica, tinsel and other similar substances for decorative purposes which are likely to rub off and injure postal employees or damage can ceiling machines must be inclos- ed in tightly sealed envelopes with postage prepaid at the first class rate in order that such cards may be accepted for mail ing.
 Send holiday greetings as first-class mail to obtain the many advantages which this service affords. Such greetings prepaid at the first class rate may be sealed and contain writ ten messages; they are dispatch ed and delivered first; forward ed if necessary, without addi tional charge and if undeliver- able, returned at no further eX- pense to the mailer provided the senders return address is shown on the envelope.
 Unsealed Christmas greetings sent as third-claSS mail without unauthorized writing enclosed are chargeable with 2 cents post age Gf the weight does not ex ceed 2 ounceS). However, a mini mum charge of 3 cents is charg ed for cards which measure less than 4 inches long or 234 inches wide.

DIVIDED WORKING TIME POSES PROBLEM FOR
 WAGE AND HOUR LAW

Expansion of firms within the Territory and division of an em- ployee'S working time among several firms, all under the own ership or management of the same person or persons, may present an overtime problem un- der the Fair Labor Standards Act (Federal Wage and Hour Law where the employee works more than 40 hours in any work week.
 L. E. Evans, Territorial Rep resentative of the U. s. Depart ment of Labor, pointed out to- day at his headquarters in Ju- neau, that the overtime provi- sions of the act apply where an employees Ii m e is divided among several enterprises.
 This situation has arisen in the Territory" Evans said. One man may be the executive head of a corporation and due to eco homie expansion, he may have expanded the activities of his firm. Additional business enti- ties may develop, such as sub sidiary corporations, joint ven lures, partnerships or perhaps an individual enterprise, all un- der the ownership or manage ment of the same person or per sons.
 When an employee divides his working time among the SeV- eral enterprises, the question may arise as to overtime pay if, during the process of carrying out his multiple jobs, he works more than 40 hours in any work week.
 In those instances where the employment is not entirely dis associated, the employer is con sidered as acting in the interest of another employer in relation to an employee if one company controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, di rectly or indirectly, the other company.
 Tn such case, the total num- Der of hours worked by the em- ployee at the several enterprises will be considered as joint em- ployment and as hours worked for the employer, and overtime must be paid if the employee works more than 40 hours in any WorkWeek.
 Another problem that may arise is where the employing company is exempt from the minimum wage and overtime sections of the act, such as re- tail establishment, but another company under common control with the employing company is not exempt.
 The employee works during the week at both places. In such a case, the exemption is defeated because the employee did some non-exempt work during the WorkWeek and he must be paid at least 75 cents an hour and time and a half for overtime if he works more than 40 hours in that week.
 Employers who are faced with such problems as I have cited can get more information about the application of the Fed eral Wage and Hour Law if they will contact me at 20. Box 1030, Juneau"

Ambulance Corps Makes Report To Seward People

That the citizens of Seward and the Resurrection Bay area have taken an active interest in the betterment of the volun- teer ambulance service is evi- denced in the financial report of the fund raising drive which eliminated with the Halloween dance at the Civic Center.
 The Civic Center is admins tered by the Seward Volunteer Fire Department and although the dance was to be on a share the profit basis the Fire Depart ment members voted to forego their share and to let all the money go into the Seward Vol unteer Ambulance Fund. This generous offer has been grate- fully accepted.
 A big share of the credit for the success of the dance also belongs to the Elks Lodge which is still in the midst of fund raising campaign for the Corps, and to the Seward Girl Scouts who loaned their piano for the dance.
 Without the help and encour- agement of every person the halfway point toward a new ambulance could never have been reached. We of the Seward Volunteer Ambulance Corps would like to thank each and every person very kindly for their generous support in help ing us to accomplish the job we set out to do, and at this time we would also like to pub licly express out qualification to the Seward Lions Club for their early help in our fund raising drive when they permitted us to participate in their Days of Ninety-Eight' celebration.
 Before the dance the Seward Volunteer Ambulance Corps had a bank balance of S375.88. On October we deposited S539 of advance ticket sales and do nations received by the Seward Hardware. By Novamber 6 we had deposited an additional S1101.90 received also from ticket sales, refreshment profits and window donations at the Seward Hardware, and on No vember 12, S386 from the Elks Lodge campaign was added to our account Then an additional S671 134 was added to the ac- count when the Seward Volun- teer Bremen donated their share of the proceeds of the dance.
 After all bills were paid and all deposits were in, the total balance was found to be S2248. GA This is about half the cost of new ambulance.
 With such wonderful support from the public it is easy to see that the new ambulance will become a reality in the near flu ture, and we of the Seward Vol unteer Ambulance Corps would like once again to say, Thank you, Seward, thank you for your support and your confidence"
