The Human Side Of Religion
Bishop Dun Hasn't Changed
During His 10 Years as Bishop
Former Episcopal
Dean Has CongeniuI
Smile and Outlook
By Cospor Names
Religious News Editor Of The Sfor

A short time after Bishop An
gus Dun was consecrated as the
fourth bishop of Washington, an
old villager in the small town of
Heath, Mass. asked him: well.
sir. what shall we call you now?"
What have you been calling
me?" the bishop. who, until his
election. was dean of the Epis-
copal Theological Seminary at
Cambridge, Mass. asked.
''Mr. Dun," the man replied.
The bishop smiled. I'm still
the same person." he said.
No Change in 10 Years.
The 10 years since his arrival
here, in April, 1914. to assume
the bishopric haven't changed
the former seminary professor in
that respect. He is still the same
easy to approach. congenial per-
son whose sense of humor starts
out of twinkling eyes.
These easy-going attributes
have contributed a somewhat
honey approach to his interest
in the local scene.
II am a home staying bishop"
he explained recently. II have
been very restrained about &C
cepting invitations to speak
around the country on the
ground that my main job is right
here"
This concern with his diocese
has produced many distinctive
achievements in the past decade.
But they are serving merely as
prelude to more to come. At
present the diocese is in the
midst of a builders for Christ"
campaign for $4,000. OF this
amount $4,000 will go to the
national fund and the remainder
for work here.
Work Based on Parishes.
'I feel a particular call to
strengthening the diocese" BiSh-
op Dun said. when I came
here, 1 felt called by the church
to make the diocese more Sc
curely founded. The church'S
work really goes on in its par
ishes and it is the quality of the
life there that counts most. 1t
is because of this concern that
we are now engaging in taking
a decisive step forward and
reaching out into areas we are
not touching sufficiently"

The bishop pointed out that
perhaps the biggest single fac
tor in the vitality of a church
is its leadership and I consider
this diocese is Singularly happy
in the quality of it's ministry.
Those in charge of the different
departments have shown energy,
skill and imagination in their
jobs. The good results are ap-
parent"
The constant flow of impor-
tant national and international
figures through Washington has
impressed Bishop Dun as one
of the unusual experiences to be
had here.
obviously the main fact about
Washington is that people with
outstanding national and inter-
national responsibilities are GEN.
tered here and one is brought
into direct personal contact with
people who are bearing the heav-
lest responsibility" he said. "The
privilege of association with them
gives one a sense of first-hand
contact with what is going on in
the world"
Bishop Dun observed that be-
cause of its unusual situation, the
Cathedral here brings the church
into direct relationship with
events and personalities of great
Importance.
But he noted that while the
Cathedral has been the center of
numerous important events, this
is not its most significant role.
II think the most significant
growths are not the spectacular
ones but the deepening of the
faith and devotion of it's men,
bers," he said. ITO this must
be added the helping of more
Of our constituency to a fuller
commitment for the church. That
is not a spectacular program but
a steady, week-by-week work."
Attended World Sessions.
Despite his devotion to the
diocese, Bishop Dun has also
played an outstanding role in
the affairs of religion during the
past 10 years. He attended the
Lambeth Conference in London
in 1948 and later the same year
served as one of the four official
representatives of the Episcopal
Church to the constituting as
Sembly of the World Council of
Churches at Amsterdam, Hol-
land. He subsequently attended
various Executive Committee
meetings of the council and will

1 Other recommendations of the Board included request for twice daily mail service which is now available if the Post Office De. partment approves. The plan for the twice daily service was warmly greeted by all the Chamber mem bers and Postmaster Larsen in dicated that he was also in favor of the proposal.
 ; According to Cordova Airlines, there would be practically no ad- ditional charge for the added ser vice. only the hauling fee from town to the airport.
 The Board had also voted to write to the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners asking that funds be made available for main tenance and snow removal on the Bear Lake, Quartz Creek, Snug Harbor and Gull Rock Roads. The Commissioners failed to provide funds for these roads and after the first of the year the Bureau will no longer keep them clear or maintain them.
 . One of the biggest items on the docket of the Board was the re- commendation that a push b e started to have immediate con. struction of two berth dock with the available funds.
 Final action of the Board was to write to Judge J. L. McCarrey asking for steel rollaway cabinet for the Commissioners office to be used for Deeds and Records.
 BLOOD BANK
 Frank Roberts reported on the recent David Dyer operation and said that a drive is on to raise at least six pints of blood to re- place that used in the operation.
 President Erwin reported that he had heard from Seattle that there had been so little favorable response to the suggestion of an Alaskan Blood Bank in Seattle that the plan had been tabled for the time being.
 INDUSTRY
 It was reported that the crew and owners of the mail boat Ex- pansion had indicated that they were interested in passing the ship in Seward and making their run to the Westward from here. The Chamber agreed to look into the matter and see what could be done. The stickler for the time being seemed to be dock where the ship could lay during the per iod when it is in port.

NEW CHAMBER OFFICERS
 AT TUESDAY NOON MEETING

Main business for the jam-pack' ed session of the Chamber Oi Commerce held this past week on Tuesday at Wally's was the cleo tion of officers. It seems like every year the membership comes out in force on election day to see that they don't get elected, behind their backs, to the various offices
 Win Erwin succeeded himself as President, as the Chember mem bers were so well satisfied with his accomplishments of the past year they saw fit to send him back for another helping.
 For First Vice President, Sol Uric was the voters choice, and the Second Vice Presidency went to Cordova Airlines Agent Dave Swanson. The Corresponding Sec retary's job was awarded to Frank Roberts and the Recording Secre- tary's office was given to John McAnerney.
 Jaunita Everett was drafted to continue as Treasurer of the Cham Der for another year.
 Five members of the Board of Directors were chosen and they are Dr. J. B. Diesher, Jacque Roth, Vance Hit, Jack Jeffrey and Allen Turner.
 BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS
 A report of a recent meeting of the Board of Directors was read n which they decided to write the Superintendent of Schools, questioning the practice of allow ing an out of town radio station broadcast the local High School basketball games when refusing to allow the local station to broad cast them.
 The Board also reported that it had written a letter to the Terri torial Police endorsing Tommy Roberts. local patrolman, and re- questing that he be kept on in Seward if this did not otherwise interfere with his wishes or chanc- es for promotion. On hearing the report it was suggested by the Chamber members that an addi- tional patrOlman be asked for the Seward area.
 The Board also decided to write to John King of the Kwik Log Company, asking if there was any thing which could be done for his company in Seward. King had in- dicated that the company was thinking of moving their fabrica- ting plant to Seward so that they could expand their operations.

Local Seahawk Team
 Clobbers Palmer HigE

The Seward Seahawks met the Palmer High school team for a two game series last Friday and Saturday evening in the Civic Center Gym and came away with two wins.
 Friday nights game got under way with Seward taking the tip off and after few quick passes Pete Wagner scored with lay. up. Stewards offense continued to click all through the games first half. Rose and Bahr con. nected with long shots and Wag- ner converted three free throws into points for the Seahawks. Worledge of Palmer scored the only basket in the first quarter for his team. The quarter ended with the Seahawks out in front Il to 2.
 The second quarter found the visitors little more relaxed. The two teams exchanged baskets and the score at the half time was 22 to II with the Palmerites still trailing.
 The only time Palmer had pres Sure on the Seward team was in the third period when Larry Bentti and Winegarner started hitting. Doc Blatchford was sent in to substitute for Pete Wagner, who was in danger of fouling out, Joe Hughes then moved to center for Seward. This maneuver seemed to calm the Palmer threat. | Wagner took scoring honors for the evening with a total of 17 points followed by Larry Bentti who collected 16 points for the losers.
 On Saturday night the game got off to slow start as a see-saw battle was waged between the teams during the first quarter which ended tied s to 8. Palmer looked much better during the second quarter of play and posed a real threat it seemed for while.
 By the middle of the third per iod Seward caught fire and started rolling up the scores to give a three quarter time score of 34 to 25. It seemed that the only Palmer player who kept up the fire shown in the first half by the visitors was Jack Warledge who continued to score and keep Pal mers hopes alive.
 Scoring honors on Saturday ev- ening went to Jack Warledge of the Palmer team who racked up 17 points followed by Pete Wagner for Seward who held 16. The clos ing score on Saturday night was 4S to 35 thus giving the Sea hawks both games in the series. The Hawks will meet the Fair banks team this week on Friday and Saturday in Seward.
