Fairbanks Women Wants Referendum On AIusko Statehood

Alice Stuart, Fairbanks busi- nessWoman, is circulating a pc tition in the Territory requesting a referendum on the question of immediate statehood for Alaska.
 The seven years since the last referendum has seen a great change in Alaska" Miss Stuart argues. At that time the popu- lation was small" Q95O census gives population at 129,643; re- cent estimates name 82,0003. More businesses have been es- tablished in recent times, and I feel that the people who live and have property in Alaska now should be given the oppor- tunity to speak out on state hood" the Fairbanks woman in SiSts.
 Results of the 1946 referen- dunn were 9,63O or 59 per cent for, and 6,822 or Al per cent of the vote at that time against.
 Miss Stuart also recalls that the Congressional hearings held during the past summer reached only small segment of popula- tion in proximity to the larger cities, thus excluding the small communities, coastal and rural areas. A new general referen- dunn held at a general election would give the present Alaskans a chance to express their views, particularly if the referendum were more explicitly worded than before.
 The petition, which now car- ries more than 700 names, is as follows: Let the people of Alas ka be heard. We, the undersign- ed, citizens of the United States of America, and legal residents of the Territory of Alaska, respectfully request another ALASKAN REFERENDUM ON STATEHOOD.
 We further request that the question be worded very clearly and definitely, in an unbiased manner, such as: Are you in favor or against IMMEDIATE statehood for Alaskan and that it be placed on the ballots for the 1854 Alaska general cleo tion."

SEWARD WOMAN'S CLUB SEES CANCER FILM

A film on cancer and it's de- lection was seen by Seward Woman's Club members at their meeting Thursday night. The club met in the Nurses Resi- dence on First Avenue.
 Hoping to get the subject before as many women as pos sible, the Junior Women's Club was invited to attend. There were about 40 women present.
 After the film very lively discussion period with questions on cancer was conducted by Lottie Hirsch, public h edith nurse. Miss Hirsch is we'll in- formed on the subject and was able to give information that the women wanted.
 Hilda Moore reviewed very old book on Alaska, Rocking Moon" by Barrett Willoughby, which is out of print and rare book.
 Helen Case gave report on her trip to the National conven- tion at Washington last May, and the group was addressed by George Green on the rehabilita- tion project at the Sanatorium.

Chinese Selections included In Concert Nexf Week

For the second concert in the 1953-54 concert series of the Alaska Music Trail, the famous bass-baritone, Yi-Kwei SZe, ac- companied by his wife, Nancy Lee Sze, concert pianist in her own right, will be presented here next Tuesday, November Is at 8 pm. in the Methodist Church.
 Widely known for his singing in opera, concert and oratorio, MT. Sze has sung with Dorothy Kristen, Eugene Conley and other great stars.
 His orchestral and oratorio repertoire covers the great com positions of Haydn, Handel, Bach, Verdi, Mendelssohn and Beethoven. Charming Chinese songs have been arranged as group on his program here to be sung at the close of the concert after the melodious and beauti- full numbers by Schubert, Verdi, RosSini, Poulenc and Rachmani- noff.
 Besides being a devoted father to his little son, Alexander Kip his, MT. Sze has a hobby which he considers most demanding. It began again in the United States when, arriving in San Francisco from the Orient, he visited the celebrated aquarium there. In Hongkong, before the war, he had 26 tanks of rare tropical fish and he hopes some day to duplicate this collection. He says, Many fish are very delicate. They require expert feeding and handling" The other hobby, that of taking pie lures with his camera, can be easily practiced on this North ern tour where many rolls of film will be used to take home memories of the gorgeous seen cry so new to both Nancy Lee and Yi-Kwei SZe.
 A reception will be held for the artists after the concert in the church basement. The Beta Sigma Phi sorority will hostess the reception. Concert goers are invited to meet Yi-Kwei Sze and his wife Nancy Lee at the re- ception.

Ambulance Fund TofoI Reaches One-Third

Money is still coming in to the new ambulance fund, according to acting secretary Maxine Kelly. Because it is growing daily, an exact figure cannot be given, but to date the total amount stands as $500.
 Ticket money from the Hallo- We'en dance is not all in yet. There is now a clear amount of $832.59 from that event, how ever. Donations received on the street amount to $67.00; from Seward Hardware card, $314.O0; and $386.00 from the Elks drive which is still in progress.
 Information is being gathered by local auto dealers on require ments and equipment for an am bulance, which will apparently run in the neighborhood of from $4000 to $500O for vehicle in the lighter class; thus about one-third of the cost has been raised.

Folfa To Preside At Telephone Rate Case At Lofer Dd+e

Contrary to expectations ex- pressed last week, the case of Seward against Alaska Tele- phone Corporation will not be heard by Judge J. L. McCarrey here next Monday.
 Because Judge McCarrey one time acted as attorney for the corporation, prior to his appoint ment as District Judge, the jur- ist is disqualified to act in this case.
 A letter from Hellenthal, Hell lenthal and Cottis, attorneys of Anchorage who are acting for the City of Seward, states, We are trying to have the issues raised by the motion brought up for hearing early in December when Judge Folta will be here (Anchorage), as Judge McCarrey is disqualified to act in this matter"
 The action is in regard to the increase in telephone rates i'm posed by ATC in June, which is being collected despite refusal of the City Council to permit such increase. In the meantime, a further increase of SITS per phone was announced last week to become effective December 1.

Sewordites Asked To Participate In
 Fund Raising Drive
By Charles Malin

Many folks have been asking us if it is possible for them to go with us on the trip back to Nebraska. Our answer is, "It sure is. If enough folks are in terested in paying their own way we will charter a DC-4 which holds 65 people" Right now we are planning on about fifteen from the High School which includes approximately the following people: ten play CTS, a coach, a manager, two cheer leaders, and of course, our queen (to be elected by the whole town in January). We will need a few seats for reporters and photographers and there is an outside chance that the Gov ernor might accept our invita- tion, so you see we will have room for about 45 more. So far about twenty-six inquiries are in our files and the time will soon be upon us when we have to decide.
 We hope to be able to take folks for about $150.00 round trip. Of Course this is only plane fare and will have to be cash in advance. Talk it up-get the little woman to give her consent -(don't you do it ladies unless he agrees to take you along)- and let us know that you are planning to go along First come first served.
 Starting next week we hope to publish a thermometer show ing the cash on hand as it comes in. Right now I understand that they are playing "baseball'' at Solly'S. How I haven't the least idea. The dock fellows are try ing to give away some Thanks giving Turkeys and Jack Werner has a Christmas dinner in the rough that someone will enjoy.
 Tickets will be on sale next week for the Bowling Match to be held some time between Chris m S and New Years. There will be prizes for three classes. The Mems Handicap League, woman's prize and an open prize for anyone wno doesn't bowl regularly.
 We will all have an opportun- ity to see MT. Pennington's pic lures shortly after Thanksgiving and the pictures that MT. Davis son took of the boys trip up here last spring will be shown in January. Other ideas for rais- ing funds are coming in which include a half days take from the taxicab fellows, smoker, cake -bakes, etc. Keep us in mind and remember that each and every one of you is on the committee to really put this over.
 We will leave here on Me morial Day or the night before, depending on flying conditions, and will be in Seward, Nebraska three nights. Plan to go with us for the time of your life"

BOOK REPORTS THE EASY WAY AT THE
 LIBERTY THIS WEEK

One of the authentically aus picious treats of the movie sea son will be shown at the Liberty next Tuesday and Wednesday, 70. Henry's Full House" with dozen top stars is made from five of the immortal stories by O. Henry which are required reading for all high schools. O.. Henry was the American master of the short story and the sur prise ending
 Fred Allen, Anne Baxter, Jeanne Grain, Farley Granger, Charles Laughton, Marilyn Mon roe, Oscar Levant, Richard Wild mark and other favorite stars portray five of the famous short stories, drawn together and CO., ordinated into a d e I g h t f whole by the great Steinbeck.
 This looks like an ideal way to learn the classics and should be very popular with both chill dren and adults.
 .- Another American classic to be shown at the Liberty next Friday and Saturday is Bret Harte's famous "Outcasts of Poker Flats" with Anne Baxter, Dale Robertson and Miriam Hop kins.
 Moviegoers will be particu- larly attracted to this picture because the immortal Bret Harte short story is widely read in schools and recommended by li- brarians; it is known to students of all ages as the first great western story, and 20th Century Fox's director Joseph Newman has turned it into a wildly colorful movie.
 The combination of Lana, Lamas, Lehar have made won derfully entertaining version of Franz Lehar's operetta, The Merry Widow" which will show here Sunday and Monday. Lana Turner and the Argentinean, Fernando Lamas, seem particu- larly suited as a team for this colorful musical.

Secretary Mckay
 Prompts Study Of ARR. Operations

Two members of a survey team representing Secretary of Interior Douglas Mckay are meeting with officials of The Alaska Railroad to study prob lems pertinent to the operation of the government-owned rail- road, it was revealed this week
 The men are Henry K. Dou- gan, St. Paul consulting en- gineer and former Great Northern Railway auditor, and D. H. Miller, assistant director of the Interior Departments di- vision of property management.
 Both of the survey men, ex- perts in their particular field, arrived in Anchorage Tuesday and opened talks with F. E. Kalbaugh, general manager of the railroad. The chairman of the group, Thomas Balmer, vice president and general counsel for the Great Northern Railway, and Harry Munson, operating vice president of the Western Pacific Railway, are scheduled to arrive in Alaska at a later date.
 Dougan and Miller are as signed to assembling the pri- mary data for the team report, which will be turned over to Secretary Mckay.
 The purpose of the survey is to make recommendations for the continued operation of the railroad in the most efficient manner possible, according to Orme Lewis, Assistant Secretary of Interior
 The team plans to investigate, analyze and present recom- mendations concerning the or ganization, operation and main tenance program of The Alaska Railroad, Lewis declared. They will look into all phases of the railroad that might be consid cred essential to the most eff cient operating and maintenance procedure possible.
 Indications are that Dougan and Miller will devote about two weeks to the study prior to the arrival of Balmer and Munson. The survey is expected to be complete by December 1.
 The Secretary of Interior has instructed the men to consider the climate, topography, and em- ployment problems relative to Alaska in making their final recommendations.
 The program is part of a CO., ordinated effort among all gov ernmental agencies to improve efficiency and service and re- duce costs wherever it is deemed feasible.

LOTTIE HIRScH TO BE
 GUEST SPEAKER FOR B&PW

Miss Lottie Hirsch will be guest speaker at the Business & Professional WomenS Clu b meeting next Tuesday night. Miss Hirsch has an interesting background of nursing in Err g land and Germany. She came to Alaska and Seward recently to take over the duties of public health nurse.
 Miss Hirsch is very interested in recognizing health council here, and may have something to say on the subject, but her talk will probably include some of her experiences in Europe.
