No need to worry about get
ting caught in the rain when
you've got the right raincoat
in your wardrobe.
Raincoat designing this sea-
son falls into two distinct cate
gories. You either get rugged
UP in a "slicker" and sou'-
wester hat and expect a hur-
ricane to hit. or you prepare
yourself for a rain -or-Shine-
weather session by wearing a
coat that looks like you'd think
twice about letting a raindrop
touch its pretty fashionable
looks. Here's where the wool
flannel coats, printed velvet
eens, or crisp cotton tweeds
excel in the fashion deception.
Lee Sherman is one of
Americas great rainwear fash
ion predicters. He offers some
important information on the
care and selection of your new
raincoat. Read it carefully. It's
bound to rain and there's
nothing like being prepared for
the deluge.

2. A reputable raincoat

8. A well-constructed rain

trimmings that are guaranteed

cleanings-i.e., metal fasteners

AcCA Chapter Starts Membership Drive. Appeals For Funds

Mrs. Bob Muller was elected president of the Seward Chapter of the ALASKA CRIPPLED CHILDREN'S ASSOCIATION, which is now being sponsored by the ladies of Forest Acres. Other officers elected were: Mrs. William Jury, vice president; Mrs. Charles Coberly, secretary; and Mrs. Forrest Kennedy, trea- surer.
 A membership drive has been launched by the ladies, and it is hoped that everyone in the com munity who possibly can will join in this worthwhile work.
 Since it's organization in 1946, the ACCA has done a wonderful and heart-warming job in the rehabilitation of the handicap ped and crippled in Alaska. Its function is mainly fund-raising, and this is done through the volunteer help it receives from the various chapters organized throughout the territory. Seward is one of its chapters. Each chap ter also functions on a local level, and one-fourth of all monies raised by the Seward Chapter is retained here to be used di rectly to aid any needy or handi- capped child in our own com munity. For instance, if a young ster needed cod liver oil, the local chapter would buy that; if a child needed dental work or glasses, that would be financed; or if a child needed orthopedic care, the chapter would pay for his transportation to the hospital at Mt. Edgecumbe.
 There are many ways in which the people of this community can participate in the local ACCA. By giving a little of your time and money in the various fund raising projects of the ACCA is one way. By bringing to the attention of the local chapter the plight of any Seward youngster in need of help is another. The ACCA believes that EVERY sick and crippled child deserves a chance. You too must believe in this, if by your contribution of time or money, you become a part of this organization.

BARTLETT ANSWERS PETITION FOR MAIL DELIVERY HOUSE-TO-HOUSE

All signers of a recent petition circulated in Seward asking for house-to-house mail delivery to- day received the following in- formation from Delegate Bart lett.
 Chairman, Board of Directors, Seward Chamber of Commerce, Seward, Alaska
 Dear Dr. Deisher:
 This will acknowledge your letter of March 16 with the en- closures in the form of copy of your letter to the Postmaster General and the petition request ing house to house delivery of mail in Seward.
 T have been happy to endorse this in communication addressed to the Postmaster General today and have volunteered to appear at the Post Office Department+to make a further presentation. My guess is that there will be some little difficulty in securing ap- proval because the Department generally requires a population of certain size; notwithStand- ing, my belief is that the circum- stances in Seward warrant very special and favorable conSidera- ton.
 With all good wishes, I am

AIosko Health Survey To Be Continued

Secretary of the Interior Douglas Mckay announced to- day that a special survey of Alaska health problems initiated last year will be continued this summer.
 Dr. Thomas Parran, dean of the University of Pittsburg Grad uate School of Public Health will again head the group which will make the study. Dr. Parran, former surgeon general of the United States, said the survey group will spend approximately six weeks in the Territory.
 The survey is designed to aid the Departments plans for a sound program to improve gen eral health and hospital prob lems of all Territorial inhabit- ants, with particular emphasis on combating tuberculosis. Gov. B. Frank HeintZleman with Ter ritorial and Federal agencies are cooperating in the survey. A final report will be made in De- cember, 1854. Secretary Mckay has authorized Territorial Medi- cal Association officers to re- view preliminary findings of the survey team.
 "We plan," Dr. Parran said, "to direct or efforts in the final Alaskan Survey toward intensive investigations of problems ex- amined and uncovered during our first survey, using competent experts to deal with such prob lems. These include: Control of tuberculosis and infectious dis eases, sanitation, mental health, nursing, maternal and child health and crippled children pro- grams, and hospital and medical care"
 Dr. Parran said that the group will spend approximately six weeks in Alaska to examine more closely the relationships of the several public and private agencies and public health or ganizations in the Territory

Businessmen Refires After Forty Years In Alaska

Charles Lechner returned on Wednesday from Desert Hot Springs where he spent the win ter recuperating from surgery. Although he feels much better, he will not return to business in the Seward Machine Shop.
 MT. Lechner really retired last May after 40 years in busi- ness here, but few people knew of his retirement until he re- turned this week. In February of 1915 Charles Lechner and Leon Urban arrived in Seward on the same boat, and both went into business.
 MT Lechner opened sheet metal ship for himself and then finally went into partnership with William Bazant on the To- cation of the present business at Railroad and Fourth avenue. In 1922 he bought the Bazant interest in the plumbing-heating and machine shop and estab- lished the present Seward Ma chine Shop. The following year he took the Ford agency which he still holds. This is the oldest Ford agency in Alaska.
 By 1928 the present big build ing was completed for show rooms with full basement for storage. In 1925 he married Miss Margarete Roegler, who was living here with her sister. They have one son, Charles, who now operates the business with his mother.
 He has server the city as a councilman twice. He is past Master of the Seward Masonic Lodge and has been Grand Dep uty. Last fall he received an honor conferred on 32nd degree Masons, that of Knight Com mander of the Court of Honor, Scottish Rites.
 The Oldtiner resalled with amusement today, the times when the automobile in Aalaska was new. "We could only drive out Is miles from town, and you always knew exactly who you would meet on the road", he laughed. The highway ended at Mile 18 then.
 When he arrived in 1915, there was very little snow on the ground in February, and the sun shown as it has this year. He commented that he does not remember another spring since that time when the weather has been so fine. His family had sent pictures of their home dur ing the heavy snow fall of Feb ruary and March of this year. He expected to find it still waist high, or the streets running knee deep in water and slush. Instead, he was surprised to find dust flying. But it is good clean dust, MT. Lechner exult- ed, and recalled a time when people were claiming that ev- eryone should eat certain amount to put sand in the craw" and help digest food. The mountains and timber looked pretty good to him after being in the arid country for so long, and 40 years residence beckoned him home.

Alaska Line Will Continue Use of Pc!isdnu end Lucidor

Alaska Steamship Company now has been advised by the Army Transportation Corps that future refrigerated shipments for their account will be shipped in controlled-temperature refrig- orator vans, W. J. Manahan, gen eral traffic manager of The Ala ska Line, said today.
 Notwithstanding this decis- ion," Manahan pointed out, i've will continue to operate the Luc- idor and Palisana since the Army has indicated they will allot us sufficient dry cargo for these yes sels to replace the refrigerator cargo diverted from them.'
 The Alaska Steamship Co. will also continue to share in the Army refrigerated cargo move ment through its controlled temperature refrigerator van service, Manahan said.
 For the past several years much of the Army perishible cargo has moved to Anchorage on the refrigerator ships Luc- idor and Palisana via Seward and the Alaska Railroad. About two weeks ago the Army Trans portation Corps announced its intention of shipping all refrig orator cargo in controlled-temp- erature vans, but when it was pointed out that this would elim- mate the reefer ships from the trade and cause hardship to the Alaska fishing industry, the situation was restudied and this solution effected.

Seword Dairy Gets High Praise From
 Territorial Inspector

James E. Wilson, Commission CT writes concerning a recent in lspection of Seward Dairy. The inspection made by Dr. Fred Honsinger, Territorial Veteri- marian, and MT. Wilson was one of series made on the Kenai Peninsula this month. All cows were tested for brucellosis and tuberculosis.
 MT. Wilson states: q would like to inform you, that the Seward Dairy animals checked out 100 percent clean. MT. Leirer is running dairy that any town could be proud of"
 Outlines" he continues, 'I think people take the supply of fresh milk in their stores for granted, not stopping to realize what an asset a good dairy oper- ation is to the health and econo- my of town. Many towns and villages in the Territory depend on airborne fresh milk which is costly, frozen milk which is at best poor substitute for a fresh product, or canned or powdered milk, which lacks the flavor and quality we all appriciate in milk.
 MT. Leirer's fifty one dairy animals keep four men busy the year around and together with buildings and equipment repre- sent a considerable investment. Dairy operators invariably are men who believe in the future of their community"
 MT. Henry Leirer, Sr., started the dairy when Seward was in it's infancy, and has kept pace with the growing demands of rapidly increasing population. He and his sons, Herman and Henry, have repeatedly, year after year, been commended by the Health and Agriculture de partments for their extreme cleanliness an dthe salty of their product.
