MoriIyn Monroe? In Seward?

Marilyn Monroe will spend the week in Seward with the Bluebirds, from Seward, Ne braska-at least by proxy. When the Bluebirds were asked to choose the girl that they would most like to take with them on the long trip, did they elect their own schooimates? Not on your life. Marilyn Monroe was their choice.
 The movie star has been noti- fled of the selection, but Alaska has not heard of her reaction.
 Twenty-one boys, their dae5s and Coach Ralph BoWmaster will pull into town about June 1, if not earlier. A program has been arranged here that will fill their every waking moment. They will probably be glad to start the four thousand mile trip back home just to get rested after sampling the fast life in Seward.
 Among plans for their enter tainment-and ours-is a bowl ing match between local girls and the Nebraska Dads.
 On Tuesday, May ?. all the folks from Nebraska living here in Seward will have a reunion. Mrs. Frances J. Phillips will serve tea and cookies.
 The Army Rec Center is to take the visitors on a fishing trip down the Bay on Wednes- day-Weather permitting Lunch will be furnished by the Busi- ness & Professional Women's Club.
 A big public dance is sched uled for Thursday night. These and other activities are sand Wiched in between basketball, bowling and soft ball games. Seward, Nebraska will never forget Seward, Alaska!
 A complete program of events will be published next week.

Post Office Loaded With Headaches From City Tax Assessor

Tax assessment forms are now in the mail. This is the cause of a thousand headaches to Seward ties. But the tax assessor re quests your cooperation, and prompt reply will be appreciat- ed, MT. Southard states.
 Some of the forms are dated 1852; these were left over from last year. Ignore the date and use 1853 figures in making your assessment.
 If you do not live in Seward, please advise; also if you do not have taxable property, but re ceive an assessment blank, reply should be made stating the facts.
 Property in process of trans fer on contract of sale should be recorded. Otherwise, the sell CT may ignore tax notices, and the new owner or buyer fail to receive a notice, thus allowing the property to become delin- quent. Real property tax is held against the property, not the owner, and a piece of land with or without improvements can become delinquent without the knowledge of the person buying it, unless he checks the record.

End First Aid Glass S*0rfed Thursday

The second class in First Aid got under way Thursday eve ming in the city council room at ' o'clock. Only ten persons were present, but others are expected by next week.
 The first class is easy to make up, so anybody who wishes to take the first aid standard course or a refresher is invited to at tend next Thursday.
 Mrs. Reba Rose, instructor, is a qualified and certificated in structor. Others will be avail able in four or five weeks to in- struct more classes if enough people register for the work and feel the need of first aid in struction.
 Although the present course is basically the same as that given during World War II, there have been some radical changes in treatments of certain conditions, and artificial respir- ation is entirely different.
 With the possibility of in creased accidents on the high way both Red Cross and Civil Defense urge that as many peo- pie as possible take training in correct first aid.

today.
Exports of American-made
cotton textiles in the first half
of this year dropped to $50, 49,
S67 square yards-a decline of
1913 per cent from the like Pc
riod of last year.
