New Bopsis+ Minister Seeks Building Site

Rev. B. I. Carpenter arrived on the Baranof last week to build a church and organize a congregation here. Rev. Car penter is of the Southern Bap- tist Convention, and found, to his surprise, that there is al ready a nucleus of a congrega- tion in Seward just waiting for a minister.
 - First services will be held Sunday, January 25 in the Union Hall on Adams Street. Morning and evening services are scheduled for II am. and 7:45 p.m
 Rev Carpenter established the work in Ketchikan a little over five years ago. He came to the Alaska mission work from Albuqurque, New Mexico, and other parishes in that state and Texas. Gle has a soft, Texan accentD His wife and daughter Helen Ruth will come to Sew ard after school closes in Ket- chikan. She is a sophomore in high school.
 Although the new minister is looking for building site for the church, he is also in need of home for the family, as they expect to make this their home for the next few years.
 The Southern Baptist Church is not to be confused with the other Baptist group who have already purchased building site on north Fourth Avenue. Rev. Carpenter represents the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, which presents the Good Will Hour on the radio.

At Losf-The Wind!

II is not news to SeWardites, of course, but our friends Out side will be interested to hear that the long awaited, and dread ed, wind has at last struck Seward.
 In spite of snow, rain, slush, and IT ore rain, icy streets and cloudy skies, we have been con graduating ourselves on temper ature in the 40's, an "open win ter"-and no Wind
 Times have changed. Slyly the North Wind began to seep out of Resurrection Pass on Wednesday. Clouds disappeared, the sun shone-temperatures fell 10 IS degrees, and the wind canae-at 30 miles per hour. Now the streets are glare of polished ice and everyone who can has holed up, trying to keep warm. Good business for the oil man, though!

Anchorage Mushers To Arrive SufurdaN

Drivers and teams from the Anchorage Dog Mushers Associa- tion plan to mush from Anchor age to Seward in the second an nual event of its kind. They plan to arrive here at II ann, at the same time as special pre-Ren- dezvous train will pull into the station on Saturday, January 3l.
 Although it was a very cold day last year when the teams and queens arrived, many resi- dents and most of the kids turn ed out to watch. Teams made the trek in three days before, spend ing the last night in Moose Pass, and it is expected that the same schedule will be used next week.
 Special entertainment is be- ing arranged by the Seward Chamber of Commerce to enter tain the guests from Anchorage throughout the day Open house at the Elks Club and Legion Club will give the Rendezvous committee ample opportunity to get in some good publicity work for the Hub City's annual event As there are no dog teams or mushers clubs in this area, the racing dogs are always the cen ter of interest here, and good crowd of spectators will be on hand.
 This is a good time to remind Seward rooters that Saturday, Jan. 31, is the date of the last basketball game with Anchorage Eagles, being played here. The special train is sure to have a crowd of rooters for the Eagles, and it is up to Seward to make a good showing at the Civic Cen ter and back up the Sea Hawks.

Hospital Bond Issue Defeofec: Still Nc Funds For School

Seward taxpayers defeated the bond issue for a proposed new hospital for the second time Tuesday, January 20 in special election. Of the 379 eligible vot- CTS registered, only 276 actually cast their ballot on the issue. Figures were 157 for the hos pital, 119 against. AS 65 per cent majority is necessary to pass a general obligation bond issue, the vote was 9 short of passing.
 While they were Tn Juneau last week, Mayor Russell Paint CT, Jack Werner and Tommy Bic conferred with Don Wilson, director of Alaska Public Works. They came away with the posi- tive information that the school project is not scheduled for this years appropriation, and that if the hospital project was rejected by Seward, there would be no chance of either the school or hospital being included in the 1853 construction period. The high school is on the list for 1854, MT. Painter said, which means further delay of at least a year, and possibly two before it could be ready for use.
 The question remains in the minds of many voters, however, whether, with the defeat of the hospital, the school project can not be forced into its position of priority for the sum already supposedly allocated for con struction in Seward. This sum of S725,OO0 would not complete and equip the building, as plan ned, but it would permit a start, with a further appropriation the, following year for it's compile tion,
 Everything is at a standstiii at present until the city council decides whether to take the word of APW authorities as to the status of Seward proIerfS
 as final, or to ssegin a fight fol the school.

Voters Turn Down Hospital Bond Again
Three Local Men In New Draft C CuIl

Gene Snyder, Richard Mattson and Donnie Sanders received the draft call this week. Rota- tion of men into service is just becoming evident as those in the first draft are returning home after their two years training and duty.
 Most of the returnees are em- phatic in their opinion that "it was not too bad" and that they gained, at least physically, by the experience, but are glad that it is over. Now they can settle down and take up normal life where they left off, although at least four of the original seven in the first draft call have been married while in service.

 With the sudden cold and windy weather, SeWardites are feeling the lack of phone service more acutely and show a grow ing impatience with the situa- ton.

Seq Hawks Lose To Whittier Teom, 52-51
By Don Dalberq

The Sea Hawks lost a hard fought contest to the Port of Whittier Army basketball team. o2-51, Sunday afternoon at the Civic Center. The Whittier team. composed of taller and more ex- perienced players had to come from behind to finally nip the Sea Hawks in the final minute of the game.
 This was the best game of the season for Seward High and just about pulled an upset for what would have been a well-deserved win. However, their work in this game was very commendable- their passing and shooting was very sharp and their teamwork by far the best they have dis played this season.
 Gene Boe led the Sea Hawks with fourteen points, Billy Evins getting 12, and Dale Lindsey II. Jerry Galley and Kenny Bahr played outstanding floor games.
 Playing the same caliber of ball against Anchorage next weekend, the Sea Hawks will give Anchorage more than they can handle and could easily up set the Eagles at least once in the games with Anchorage here Friday and Saturday, January 30 and 31.

SuP'+ Reports On Seward Scheels
By Carl R. Carlson THE TENNIS COURT SKATING RINK PROJECT

One of the projects at school that has been under conSidera- ton for some time has been the construction of a tennis court and ice skating rink on the northeast portion of the school block. This double purpose af- fair was to be so constructed as to be useable as tennis court during warm weather and as a skating rink during cold wealth CT. This would be possible by laying concrete slab about 120 feet square-large enough for two tennis courts side by side. This slab would be provided with fairly high curb so it can be flooded for ice skating.
 This project has been under taken by the P-TA. During the 1951-1952 school year a con siderable sum of money was col lected for construction costs. However, last summer the pro ject did not get done; but, dur ing the fall part of the area actually was graded. This grad ing did serve a useful purpose, During the winter Jack Jeffries has spent considerable time fix ing it up for skating, and the children of town have been mak ing good use of it. Some had wondered whether the children would use the skating rink. Now that we know they will, we feel that this project is we'll worth completing.
 We hope that during this year this can be completed. This pro ject should be we'll worth the time, effort and money required for it.

Nigh+shir+ed Players RozzIe-DozzIe. S.H.S Sea Hawks

When a tribe of night-shirted "Nighthawks" limped onto the floor of the Civic Center gym last Saturday night, it looked like a runaway game for the slim, trim Sea Hawks. They soon discovered, however, that, night shirts or not, those old men could play ball.
 After setting up exercises in which the Nighthawks made their fingers nimble, they pro- ceeded to grab the ball. Grab" is right. To be sure that they would get it every time, they ganged up on the Sea Hawks, held them by the arms, or throt- tied the boys until the ball was safely in the basket.
 To make doubly sure of the game, the Nightshirts (oops, ex- cuse us, Nighthawks) also put one of their number in as referee. This referee" allowed his fel- lows as many free throws as it took to make basket. Even the score board went crazy and marked up scores so fast it ran out of numbers.
 The Sea Hawks got even, how ever, when they shanghaid both referees, took the whistle away from one and locked him in the rest room. While they were in possession of the whistle, the game really went to the boys!
 All in all, this was the funniest game" the Lions Club has put on to date. Proceeds went to the Lions scholarship fund.
