Local Man Escapes Injury in Truck Wreck

Seward drivers have been for tunate in that of the many high way accidents this winter on icy pavement, no one has been ser iously hurt.
 Bill Alderman, driver for Northwest Freight Lines at San Juan Dock, escaped from the cab of his truck Sunday after noon with nothing but stiff neck.
 Reports from the freight of flee are that Alderman, driving north at about 4:30 Sunday af- ternoon, took to the ditch at Mile 28 to avoid hitting either a parked car or an Alaska Freight Lines semi which was approaching. He found himself upside down in the cab, after the truck overturned over the embankment.
 The driver of the car, an An chorage man, who was in the parked car, helped Alderman out, no doubt expecting to find him injured or dead. Damage to the truck is thought to be almost total at first estimate.

New Ambulance Ordered

An order has been placed for the new ambulance for Seward. It is not known yet how soon it can be delivered, as the body has to be built to customers order.
 Monday night the City Coun- cil voted $2200 to supplement the S3600 contributed by towns people for purchase of the ve- hicle. Freight charges are not included in the total cost since Alaska Freight Lines has agreed to bring the ambulance from Seattle without charges except for handling.
 The Ambulance Corps, after studying other models supplied by local dealers, decided upon the Ford as the one most suited to the circumstances in Seward area and still within the price range that they could afford. Al though it will be controlled and operated by the Ambulance Corps, the machine will belong to the city and carried on City insurance policies the same as Fire Department vehicles.

SIX DlESElS ON S.S. GADSEN,
 DUE SATURDAY

Sometime Saturday the SS Gadsden will arrive in Seward with the biggest shipment of To- comotive equipment ever to come into Alaska.

Queen Contest Gains Momentum

Votes for the first week in the Basketball Queen contest were counted Monday night with a total of 2,426 votes cast.
 The names of 27 Seward school girls had been submitted, of which the first 10 are listed and the order in which they stand.

 Though only these 10 names are listed, it does not mean that they are candidates to the eXclu- sion of others. Votes can still be cast with every $1.00 purchase in the stores cooperating, for any girl in school. The contest runs through Valentines Day and the queen will be crowned at a special Queens dance.

High Wind Damages Roofs In Sew0rd

The Seward weather station has no instruments to record wind velocity automatically, so there is no reco.d of the wind during the night. when it is usu- ally strongest. l. was reported here this week ss varying from 36 to 46 miles per hour, how ever.
 Swirling, hurricane-like gusts at tremendous velocity, buffeted the city Monday and Tuesday doing considerable damage to roofs and blowing out windows. One observer reports seeing a solid wooden otDr sail through the air ten feet off the ground. Another tells of a discarded Christmas tree flying down an alley over the tops of cars.
 Those accustomed to our windy winters remark that we were lucky that the wind was "warm," temperature on those days reaching A and 35 high, dropping to 29 and 28 low. Even at these temperatures, furnaces burned oil like mad and kept deliveries in great demand.
 Despite the wind, however, Seward has enjoyed clear, sun ny skies since January 13, which seems to be typical January weather here.

Civil Defense Needs inactive Nurses

Seward nurses are putting on campaign to increase their strength for civil defense or dis aSter In addition to actively employed nurses and members of District 2, ANA, they request that all inactive nurses who are willing to make themselves available for this work, make themselves known. It is thought that there may be as many as 25 trained nurses in the area who are not now employed in the profession.
 In the civil defense plan, these nurses are needed at the three medical centers being set up in the area. Former hospital corps men are also asked to join in this recruitment program.
 For more information or to volunteer, call Mrs. LaPreal Bic or Mrs. Phil Durant.

SEAHAWKS OFF BY PLANE FOR FAIRBANKS GAMES

Twelve players, the coach and one girl boarded the Cordova Air Lines plane at $40 Thurs day morning. They were on their way to Fairbanks for the return basketball games in that city. One other passenger was to board the plane at Anchorage.
 This is the first time the team has taken to the air for its long trips, and seems to be a most satisfactory arrangement.
 A telephone message from Coach Dalberg in the afternoon reported safe arrival in Fair banks at 1:30 pm, with beauti- full weather all the way. This be- ing the case, the youngsters must have had good view of Mount Mckinley.

CITY COUNCIL NEWS

lation as estimated every Janu- ary by the City Council. It was estimated on the same basis as in 1853 when the figure for population was set at 2,490.
 Press of business forced the council to meet every week in stead of twice monthly since January 1. The backlog of busi- ness has been caught up now and the meetings are on regular basis again, with the next meet ing February l.
 Dogs Must Be Licensed
 Every year the problem of dogs running at large comes to the fore in Seward as we'll as in other Alaska communities.
 Large packs of dogs are roam ing the streets to the inconven- fence of traffic and danger to small children. It was reported at City Council Monday night that police attempted to disperse a pack with tear gas, and were unsuccessful. City Manager O'Hara stated that the ordinance concerning dogs as a nuisance provides that dogs must be i'm pounded for 72 hours to allow owners of pets to claim them. Then the owners must pay for the dogs keep during impound- ment.
 As the city has no adequate pound, the dogs are now running at large, except for three that were locked in the jail. The or dinance also requires that every dog shall have and wear a li- cense tag. It was disclosed by the city clerk that only 39 li- censes have been sold in Seward at noon Thursday. Licenses for dogs were due on July 1, 1853.
 License for a female dog is $500, for a male $2.50. From discussion at the council meet ing, it is assumed that this or dinance will be enforced and all dogs must be licensed.

NO HELP FOR CITY ON HOSPITAL

A letter from Don Wilson to the City Council requested a if nancial statement concerning the application for a new hos pital.
 It was brought out during dis cussion that the $100,000 partici- patton expected from the Wo- mans Division of Christian Service of the Methodist Church will probably not be available. It seems that it was only ten tative sum to be contributed in case Seward Sanatorium should be closed The Woman's Division had thought that with the clos ing of the Sanatorium, enough equipment could be sold to make up the proposed amount This pledge counted heavily with the voters when the bond election was passed for the hospital. It was not generally known at the time, however, that the $100,000 was a conditional sum to be available upon abandonment of the Sanatorium.
 Since there now seems to be no indication that Seward Sana- torium will be closed at any foreseeable near date, the city is now responsible for raising the entire $310,000 which is 50 per cent of the total amount under Alaska Public Works, providing the application is ap- proved.
 Other Council Doings
 The City Council adjourned at 9:20 Monday night, which must set some kind of record for regular meetings. Before ad- journment, however, the council voted to pay the annual mem bership fee at the rate of 10 cents per capita in the League of Alaskan Cities.
 The fee is based upon popu-

10 Per Cent Increase In Freight Rates To
 Coosfwise and A.S.C.

Freight rates for flask a Steamship Company and Coast wise Lines will be increased 10 percent effective February 10, according to information from Delegate Bartlett this week. The hike was granted by the Feder- al Maritime Board
 Tariffs will apply between Seattle and Tacoma and Alaska ports on Alaska Steamship Co. vessels and between California, Oregon and Tacoma ports and the Territory on Coastwise yes selS.
 The two companies claim that "In keeping with everyone else, the steamship lines operating to Alaska have had substantial in creases in various operating costs since the last rate adjust ment became effective March l, 1852" Alaska Lines officials state that the estimated revenues from passengers, mail, freight and other sources totalled $16, 967,53 for 1853 with operating expenses totalling $16,859,786, the net result before taxes being $1O7,753.
 CoastWise states that during the past year its total operations will indicate loss of about $300,000. Approximately 50 per cent of revenues of this line is derived from Alaska trade.
 The recent report of the Pa cific Coast Freight Conference, which is composed of the two companies, stated: After care full consideration we believe that the companies need and the trade can bear, a revenue in- crease which is equivalent to about 10 percent across the board upon their total freight revenues military and commer- ciaD. This would, of course, wipe out their operating deficite and provide a return of 6 percent after taxes"

Bartlett Asks Opening Of kufmoi Area

"A realistic appraisal and specific appraisal of Katmai National Monument was asked of Secretary of Interior Mckay this week by Delegate Bartlett.
 He requested that the com mittee appointed by the Inter for Department to study federal withdrawals in Alaska, give special study to the petition of number of Naknek residents to open the areas surrounding Naknek Lake to about eight miles back from the lake shores in all directions.
 This is of special interest to some Seward residents because of the pumice deposits in this area.
 It is a matter of record, Bart lett stated, that this Monument was created because of the Val ley of Ten Thousand Smokes. Now the Smokes have diminish ed until there are only few so that the very purpose for which the monument was estab- lished no longer exists. Beauty of the area and it's other special features warrant national mon ument there, but its area should be realistic in respect to size and should not deny land which has no proper place within the monument.

FATHER cHAPUT ILL IN SEATTLE

Residents of a few years ago will be sorry to hear that Father Chaput, former priest of Sacred Heart Church, is very ill in Pro vidence Hospital, Seattle. Word received is that suffering from diabetes, the minister has or will have to lose both legs by amputation because of the dis ease.
 This cheerful, kindly man, who was friend to everyone he met in Alaska, is not downcast but talks enthusiastically about learning to walk on artificial limbs.
