Deliver Gifts To Snndforium
 From l To 4 PM.

Christmas present donations for patients and veterans at Seward Sanatorium should be delivered to the business office of the Sanatorium between l pm. and pm, according to Mrs. Sarah Garrett, supply of ficer
 Every year Christmas gifts are accepted from donors ito help persons recovering from tuber- culosis have a more enjoyable Christmas" Mrs. Garrett said.
 Over 120 patients, including approximately 25 children, will spend the Christmas holidays in bed. Stressing the need for proper psychological care in the treatment of tuberculosis, Mrs. Garrett added, Our patients must face the demoralizing situ- ation of being away from home at Christmas, and it is both to their mental and physical ad- vantage, as stimuli to faster recuperation, that they be re- membered during the Christmas season."
 The Sanatorium receives do- nations at Christmas from throughout the United States and Alaska, and the personnel provides a diversified program for patient entertainment Due to the large number of patients, however, local assistance in the form of Christmas gift donations is needed and welcome.

There are free rooms at Me Kinley Parks palacial hotel until December 10. Yes, that's right, free rooms!
 It's all part of new get ac- quainted program set in mo- tion by E. w. Bud Lauesen, manager of the hotel
 The season is slack right now, the hotel is fully staffed and ready to offer fine time, Lauesen declares, 50 we just decided to throw get acquaint- ed program on the house"
 Lauesen cited the move as a wonderful opportunity for the people who have always want ed to visit Mckinley Park, but just never quite got around to it.
 Visitors will be afforded the regular privileges, he said and they need pay only for their meals. While there is still not adequate snow for skiing at the park, the hotel has a large ice skating pond in operation. A dog team is also being maintained to give visitors sled ride over the nearby trails.
 Dancing, parlor games, a free excursion to park headquarters, hiking, out-of-door sports and other activities are on tap for the program.
 Those attending the "get ac- quainted program" should make their reservations through local travel agents.
 The Alaska Railroad is of fering special excursion rates to Mckinley Park from both An chorage and Fairbanks.

NEW POSToFFIcE ABSOLUTE NECESSITY

Clarence Larson, Seward post master, invited to explain the needs in his department to the Chamber of Commerce, told the group Tuesday that increase in the amount of mail handled in the Seward office has become so great that a new building is 'ad- visable." MT Larson was re strained as to the use of words, but his hearers felt the term to be used was definitely "neces- sary or imperative.
 The present building has been used approximately 35 years. It was built and is still owned and administered by the Justice De partment. They have indicated, MT. Larson said, that the Justice Department has no intention of increasing the size of the build ing, although there is still room for a sizeable addition on the lot. The Post Office Department must then seek quarters in an other larger building or have new building.
 For comparison Larson quot ed figures. Twenty years ago, Seward postoffice did S56,000 in money orders. In 1852 the amount was in excess of S700,000 and this year total business will come near reaching a million dollars. This is in money orders alone, and all done in the same quarters, which, if anything, are smaller than in previous years because of additional boxes in stalled recently.
 This is a terminal postoffice, handling distribution and dis patching of mail for Interior Al aska, Aleutian Chain, and all of Kenai Peninsula in addition to regular town mail. No less than 5000 square feet are needed right now for adequate work space, MT. Larson stated. With adequate space, he added, there seems little difficulty in getting door-to-door delivery in Seward.
 New Chamber of Commerce officers will begin the work of acquainting the Postmaster Gen eral of the need here, which, in cidentally, is already acknow- ledged by district officials. Sev- eral local businessmen are look ing into the possibility of con struction for lease to the Depart ment.

Winter Schedule Is Announced By
 AIaska Steamship Co

Alaska passenger vessel sched- ules for the balance of the win ter were announced this week by H. N. Peterson, general traf fife manager of Alaska Steam ship Company.
 Sailings are set for each week through December for South eastern and Southwestern Alas ka, employing the steamers Ba- ranof and Denali. From January through March, the Denali will be off the run and the Baranof will sail every other Friday be- ginning January 8 for Ketchi- kan, Petersburg, Juneau and Seward, returning via the same ports. Effective February 19, Wrangell will be added as a northbound call Beginning Alp Til first, weekly passenger serv- ice will resume.
 This is probably the first time since 1895 that there has not been at least one passenger vessel sailing from Seattle each week for Alaska except during strike periods" Peterson said.
 Earlier it was pointed out that the increased operating costs of passenger vessels and the moder- ate winter travel could lead to the suspension of Alaska Lines passenger service during the w in CT season. A passenger carrying contract extended to the company by the Military Sea Transportation Service help ed reduce losses in October and November and is expected to this month. However, with the reduced MSTS requirements for January, the anticipated passen- ger travel does not warrant a tWo-ship passenger operation un- til April, it was explained.
 Southeastern and Southwest crn Alaska will continue to re- ceive weekly cargo service" :" Peterson pointed out. "The mo- torship Susitna will sail oppo- site the Baranof to Southeastern and another freighter will sail opposite the Baranof for South western.
 Under the MSTS contract, Al aska Steamship Company han died 360 northbound and south bound passengers in November and is scheduled to handle 470 north and southbound in Decem Der. The MSTS requirements have been reduced to 150 south bound passengers only for Jan uary according to a contract ex- tension received by the Alaska Line.
 While we have difficulty in berthing all the tourists request ing reservations during the sum mer season, our vessels are han ding a reduced number of win ter passengers, Peterson said.

Aiosku-Nebruska Fund Progress

Werner'S Furniture turned in a check for $22.78 as ten per cent of all cash sales on WedneS- day before Thanksgiving. If you will recall, this was the day we had the real heavy snow, so We think this is very good. The same day the eighth grade stu dents had their work period. From baby sitting to waxing floors and even to helping the garbage man, the children ran the gauntlet of jobs. They not only proved of real worth as mothers helpers, they raised a total of S6620 and thus put the fund up to the first thousand mark.
 Tickets are now out for the Benefit Bowling Match to be held all day, December 29, and all day December 30. There will be three prizes in each of three classes. Twenty-Five dollars first prize, fifteen free games of bowling for second prize, and ten free games of bowling for third prize. The classes will be divided into Mems Handicap League, Women's League, and an open class of non-bowlers. Get your tickets and join the fun.
 Let's also get in those entrance blanks for the Amateur Night Major" Sheffield has a real treat in store for the folks that night. There will be three classes. School children, with prize of twenty-five dollars cash for first place, ten dollars for second, and five for third; Bar Der Shop Quartets, twenty-five dollars for first; and non-com- peting class. There will be a good deal of fun, too, when at the close of the regular program the audience will be given chance to hear or see some tal- ent that they always knew was in town but could never coax out into the open before. Mys- terious? No. We are just going to open for bids any talent that is in town. And if you bid high enough we will get them to per form-within reason, of course. So get your application blanks in today.
 Jack Werner has some won derful Christmas baskets that he would like to get rid of on the nineteenth for the fund. Ask about them in his store. MT. Pen nington will show his very fla nous Alaskan pictures to the public shortly, and that, too, will go into the fund. We still need a few more to say that they are definitely going back with us at their own expense. That would be a mighty fine Christmas pres ont for either iuniOr ar senior

 The first home Railbelt games will be Dec. II and 12 with Fair banks, as originally set up There has been no lineup re- ceived from Fairbanks yet, but it is understood that they have tall team, averaging over six feet. Teddy Butcher and Bob Seaborn are returning lettermen from last years championship Fairbanks team. Butcher was a starter and Seaborn was the first reserve. They also have couple of other players who had some experience last year. Both the Malemutes and the SeahaWks have comparatively green teams and at present outcome of the games is a tosS-up.
 The SeahaWks have shown AoiioiiSi dOlC liipi ONSIiiCIl le'tS ly and are beginning to work better and smoother. The fol lowing will start against Fair banks: Gene Boc and David Hughes at forwards, Peter Wag- ner at center, and Kenny Bahr and Don Ennis at guards. Danny Rose and Wilbur Hamblin are also likely to see considerable action. At present, Joe Hughes, who had worked his way to the first six, and Packy Dick are enthusiastically ineligible and will not be able to play against Fair banks. Joc's height will be missed against the tall Fairbanks team.
