Fire Detection Device Installed In School

Bayview School and five stra tegic danger areas in the main school building are now pro- tected by an automatic fire de lection device. The equipment was installed on the order of the School Board at the cost of $1320.
 There is no sprinkler system connected with the system; it is purely detection instrument which locates a fire within sec onds and sets off siren on the outside of the building.
 It was the unanimous deci- sion of the Board to invite the fire department to hold test of the siren to acquaint resi- dents of the two areas with its sound. Upon hearing the high pitched siren the fire depart ment could be immediately warned. This is felt to be par ticularly wise precaution in the Bayview district. --'

First Basketball Games Of Season This Weekend

Basketball season will open here this weekend with the Sea Hawks versus Whittier Friday night at the Civic Center.
 It is announced that the Sew ard High School will sell season tickets for its home Railbelt Conference games. Adult season tickets will be sold for $500, and student tickets will go for S2.50 This includes the two games with Anchorage, two with Palmer, and the two Fairbanks games. Tickets will be on sale some time next week.
 High school basketball pro grams must be financed almost wholly from gate receipts and because of the great amount of travel involved, it is very diff cult each year to break even, ac- cording to Coach Dalberg. In fact, he states, the athletic fund at present is in the red.
 The coach feels that if season tickets are sold it will give the athletic department better chance to finance the program to which it is committed, and the boys will then know about how much they will have to op- crate with.
 Travel and other expenses for the Railbelt Conference and Western Alaska High School Ac- tivities Association Tournament require about $500. It is hoped that at least 400 season tickets can be sold before the season starts.

N-Kwei Sze To Sinq In Music Traiis
 November Concert

Yi-Kwei Sze, gifted bass-bari- tone, holds the distinction of being the first singer to come out of China for a successful opera and concert career.
 This brilliant young artist made his operatic debut in this country with the San Francisco Opera Company during the 1850 season. This followed his concert in Carnegie Hall, New York the previous season when he was heard for the first time in an American recital. The critics were unanimous in pro- claiming MT. Sze as an artist with rare interpretive gifts, and capable of a flawless perform ance. The great basso of the Metropolitan, Alexander Kipnis, was his coach for this perform ance.
 Yi-Kwei Sze has won the l. hearts of his American and Ca nadian audience with his richly toned and perfectly controlled voice. A slight figure, standing only five feet, six inches, when he starts to sing, his hearers are amazed at the power and ease of his singing. His voice is often compared with that of the great Chaliapin for it's beautiful low bass register. It scars fluently

ASC Adds New Vessel To Cargo Fleet

A new vessel is being added to the Alaska cargo fleet this week with the Alaska Steamship Company purchase of the 71OO gross ton Seacoronet from the Pacific Cargo Carriers Corp. D. E. Skinner, vice president and general manager of The Alaska Line, announced the purchase.
 The Seacoronet, a liberty-type ship, increases to 10 the number of Alaska Steamship Company owned vessels employed in the Alaska trade and raises to 56,00O the gross tonnage of The Alaska Lines privately owned fleet. Pre-war the company's fleet in cluded IT vessels of 69,000 gross tons.
 In addition to it's owned ton mage, Alaska Steam charters number of C1 -MAV-1's from the Maritime Administration for use in the northern trade. Three of these were recently returned to the government. Six others of 23,000 gross tons are still under charter.
 "The Seacoronet is the first replacement for the C1-MAV-1's that were recently redelivered," Skinner pointed out.
 Before entering the Alaska trade, the Seacoronet, which has just completed a tour of service in the trans-Pacific trade, will be completely outfitted for the Alaska run, including a name change. Radar will be installed. Its holds will be modified to ac- commodate unitized loads and it will be equipped with company engineered portable tween decks to facilitate packaged-cargo car rying. The name "Seacoronet" will be changed to a name of an Alaskan lake or river ending in ma" in line with Alaska Steam's cargo-vessel naming policy.
 The Seacoronet was built in Bethlehem-Fairfield Ship Yards, Inc, Baltimore, Md, in 1944.

Sewurd EIks Lodge Helps Ambulance Fund Drive
high to make it practical.

 high to make it practical.
 The hard fact remains that a mechanical failure may cost a human life-perhaps more than one, and it is with the thought of eliminating this possibility that this letter is written.
 The Seward Lodge of Elks has again pledged itself to support the Seward Volunteer Ambu- lance Corps in raising funds for the purchase of new ambu- lance. It is our opinion that if the members of the Ambulance Corps are willing to give freely of their time and efforts to in sure us such a service, we, a community of two thousand odd people, can surely provide them with the equipment they need with which to serve us.
 We, therefore, earnestly solicit whatever contribution you feel you can afford. The amount is up to you-no amount is too small to be sincerely appreciat- ed.
 Mail it to the Seward Elks Lodge or to the Seward Volun- teer Ambulance Corps, or drop into the Seward Hardware Com pany, or phone any member of our Committee, who will pick it up.
 Hoping that you will never need to use this service, but wishing again to remind you that
 Tomorrow it may be you or yours.
 Yours truly,

Following is text of letter sent out this week by Seward ElkS Lodge to individuals and business concerns in the Seward area:
 Dear Fellow Citizen.
 About year ago a small group of civic minded people in our midst became acutely aware of the fact that in our communi- ty no facilities for the emergency treatment and transportation of seriously ill or bodily injured persons existed.
 To rectify this situation, this same group banded together to form local organization known as The Seward Volunteer Ambu- lance Corps. Additional members were enlisted, first-aid classes organized, and roster of volun- teer drivers established.
 Funds were, of course, needed to. purchase and maintain sup plies and equipment and must, of course, come from the com munity as whole. Thru the eff forts and contributions of vari ous organizations and individu- als, enough money was raised to launch this project.
 We of the Seward Lodge of ElkS, believing this to be a very worthy and necessary part in the health and safety of the people of the community, gave our help and support to the organization in its beginning, and after re- viewing it's accomplishments since it's inception, believe more strongly than ever that it is very worthy of support.
 In the beginning, it was thought that the purchase and reconditioning of an ambulance of rather ancient vintage would at least temporarily suffice. This was done thru Corps funds and the contribution of labor, etc, by local garages and mechanics. However, the reliability of this vehicle has proven very ques- tionable. Also, the maintenance cost of it has been much too

to the high, full-throated bari tone range which he can shade to delicate pianissimo.
 Encouraged by his wife, her self a concert artist, our singer learned six languages in which he sings with ease. Due to his impeccable stage manner, audi ences forget that here is a na- tionality new to the classic concert stage. They only know that they are listening to an artist who is sensitive to the great composers and one who sings with a rare blend of emo tion and intelligence, the goal of all great musical interpreters.
 At the piano, as accompanist, Nancy Lee Sze plays the sym pathetic accompaniments for her husband and together, this famous couple is known over the world for their perfect blend of artistic performance. A tour of Australia and New Zealand where over sixty concerts were given has just been completed. In China, they gave programs for Generalissimo and Madame Chiang Kai-Shek, MT. Sze train ing choruses in the Chinese Army headed by the Generals simo.
 Married in New York's Madi- son Ave. Presbyterian Church, MT. and Mrs. Sze return there to help with the music when in New York between concert tours.

C. of C. Starts Fund Raising cumpoign For Nebroska Trip
By c. of C. Secretary

A good many folks have been asking, Are we going to take basketball team to Seward, Nebraska, this year?' The an swer is YES! Emphatically Yes! They brought their team up with the understanding that we would return the trip and we will do so even if we have to walk.
 The Seward Chamber of Com merce appointed finance com mittee this week that met Fri day and began plans for raising the money. We don't know how much money we will have to raise as yet because we do not know the outcome of the rate hearing that will determine the cost of an airplane. However, we are going to work right now to raise the money and worry about the cost when the time comes.
 The committee appointed con sists of Rev. Charles Malin, chairman, Jacque Roth, Clarence King, Sol Uric, Jack Werner, Gus Johnson and Don Dalberg. They reported that we now have $462.00 on hand. From there on any means of making money will be welcomed. Such plans as the election of Queen in January, benefit bowling night between Christmas and New Years, the showing of MT. Pennington's Alaskan movies in January, the giving of dance by the group in Moose Pass, a benefit movies here, a smoker, etc, have all been discussed and plans are now under way.
 Sol Uric begins next week with a little plan of his own. Clarence King is getting to- gether committee to play bin 20. Others have similar tasks so that this thing is really under way.
 Let it be known right now that the appointed committee is just steering group and any ideas that you have will be welcomed. We feel that we can really put Seward on the map and make a good many good friends both for our town and personally in this deal, So the more folks that help out the better and wider spread the re- suits.
 Incidentally there will be regular radio program from Seward, Nebraska, heard on the local station each Saturday af- ternoon and we are in hopes that someone here will write a newspaper column for them weekly.
 So put on your thinking cap dream up ways for us to finance this deal-and cont be bashful with vour ideas. We will make regular reports on the events coming I'D and how we stand financially.
