PIuns for Nebraska Trip Underway

Tentative plans are being for mulated by the local Chamber of Commerce committee to send the Seahawks and team of bowlers back to Seward, Ne braska, probably on Memorial Day next year. The hoopsterS will be accompanied by two cheer leaders, the coach and a queen to be chosen from the high school. Ed Sheppard of the Alaska Fur Factory has all ready volunteered to outfit the queen with parka, mukluks, etc., for the education of the Ne braskans.
 Rather than travelling by bus, the Alaskans plan to charter a DC-4 plane and will offer extra seats at a nominal cost to local enthusiasts who would care to make the trip.
 Although these plans are ten tative, it is well to begin to look forward to the day, Rev Malin commented.

Rev. Charles Malin and others on the committee for the Seward week find it hard to thank the people of this community for their Wholehearted support of the program of that week. An n d ividual acknowledgment would be impossible, since the whole town turned out so well to make the unique event the success it was
 All we can do is say thanks to the people who took the visitors into their homes-they made many friends, Thanks also to the businessmen who refused to allow the Nebraskans to spend money, but gave their goods in token of the goodwill of Seward for Seward.
 You know who helped. If you were one, then please accept the grateful acknowledgment for your support and feel proud with us to be part of this, Our Friendly City.

c. of c. To Ask Return of
 District Court

Action taken Tuesday by the Chamber of Commerce will be to request the return of the Third Division District Court to this city. With the appoint ment of second judge to this Division, SeWardites feel that the secsnd judge should be placed here to use the court facilities in the Federal Build ing which have been empty for several years. Gases from the Chain, Kenai Peninsula and out lying areas could be heard here just as easily and with probably less expense than in Anchorage" 1t was stated.
 President Tom Bic reported on the Cordova meeting of the All Alaska Chamber of Com merce. He was appointed with Bob Baker of Anchorage and Stan Tatum of Fairbanks on committee to raise funds.
 Some uneasiness is felt" Bic stated, with maritime contract date of June 16, but the Seattle Mayors Committee assures Al aska that there will be no tie ups.
 Strong letters were sent by the Alaska Chamber of Com merce protesting the policy on chromite. Bitter feeling was aroused al the announcement that the government pays SIS per ion less for Seldovia chrom- ite delivered in Seattle than is paved for the Oregon product bought al the mines. This dis crimination was called 10 the attention of Washington in no uncertain terms. Bic reported.
 Of the nineteen Chambers of Commerce in Alaska, fourteen were represented, excepting Ju neau. The president of that city's group passed through Cordova but did not stay for the meeting. Two other Southeastern groups had no representation "because of the busy fishing season."
 The absence of Juneau and their repeated rejections of as sociation with any Western Al aska organizations was discussed at the Seward meeting They don't have to join us," someone remarked, "Tfey sit on top of the Legislature anyway"
 Rev. Malin gave a financial report of the Seward, Nebraska week. There is approximately $500 waiting to start the fund for the return games when local players will visit Nebraska next year, possibly on Memorial Day.

 There also will be favors for the children.

 The decision was made after dozens of inquiries from towns people and offers of aid from service organizations. The race has now become nationally rec ognized and several magazines of wide circulation in inc States have publicized inc affair.
 Plans are for a one-day cele- bration only-Saturday, July 4. No definite prize money is es- tablished for the runners, who will share the amount raised for the race.
 The Alaska Railroad has pro- missed as many trains as are nee essary to bring people from the railbelt. In the past three years the number of visitors reached over a thousand each year. Plans to furnish food for so many are still to be perfected, but it is suggested that clubs handle the problem individually.
 The usual activities for chill dren and the parade are includ- ed in the days events.
 To add 10 the excitement of the race. people will be able 10 guess the lime down to a tenth of a second this year. which is considered an improvecent over the procedure of last year. Tick cts will be available this week. end.

Expect Number of Tourists To Double This Year. Says AAA

Edward Coffey, president of the Alaska Visitors Association, made the official announcement Monday that James Beard had been employed as membership director by the Finance Commit tee of the Association.
 Coffee said that Beard, form erly editor of the Daily Alaska Empire of Juneau, had been Se- lected from a list of several can didates applying for the job and added that his first assignment will be to conduct the annual membership drive throughout the Territory.
 Beard said that he plans to be- gin his campaign in Juneau this week and will work his way through the Territory in coming weeks.
 He pointed out that all activi- ties of the Association must be financed out of membership fees with the exception of paid ad- vertising in national publica- tions, which can be paid with Territorial funds allotted to the Association, and predicted that with a little exrta investment the tourist industry would soon represent Alaska's number one dollar income.
 He called attention to the fact that the American Automobile Association is predicting Alas ka's tourist business will double this year and added that it can double again next season if the Territory expands it's stateside advertising and publicity cam paign.
 "The amount of publicity and promotion we can plan is direct ly dependent on the size of our membership and we're calling on all Alaskans to invest that ex- tra dollar now to build lasting industry for the Territory" Beard concluded.

Utility Board Advises On Water Line Service;
 Asks Owners Cooperation

All water service lines will be installed from the main to the property line by the water com pany for consumers. These serv- ice lines will be 34-inch copper tubing and connected to a shut off valve at the property line. Present service lines in good condition five feet in depth or deeper and not having been pre- viously frozen will be left in service.
 It is the property owners responsibility to have his portion of the water service line in- stalled from the cutoff valve. six feet in depth to the building. The contractor will dig your line 10 your house at approxi- matelY Sl.5o per foot. You may connect your own line 10 the service cutoff or have a plumber do so. Backfilling the ditch after the line IS in is included in the 0l99An9 PrlCe.
 The water company will fur niSh at cost copper wire and clamp to install a thawing wire at the main. The wire should be brought back to the cutoff valve at the property line or may be carried on into the house at the owners discretion. The cost is negligible The wire will eliminate any possibility of ever having to dig through six feet of frozen ground in the winter to thaw water The precaution of having the thaWing wire in stalled cannot be too strongly stressed. Anyone who has ever dug to the main in the winter fully realizes this. The thaWing wire assures you of water in a few minutes with a thaWing machine S h uld your water service line become frozen.
 When the digging contractor is in your vicinity on your street:
 l. Ascertain from him how deep the main and how deep nearby neighbor service lines are.
 2. Advise him if you wish him 10 dig your line in 10 your house.
 4. You may purchase copper tubing from the water company if you wish so that you may have a copper line all the way from the water main into your house. Pipe that has been in service for l2 or IS years may be corroded half way shut.
 5. Ii is important that you advise the contractors inc exact location of your water service line when they are in your vi- cinitY. Your cooperation may cut in half the lime your water is off while connection is being made.
