FORMER RESIDENT
 PUBLISHES MYSTERY

Helen Smith Head, former Seward resident, has just pub lished her first book, a mystery story called Death Below Zero" It is published by Comet Press Books in New York.
 Miss Head will be remember ed as part owner of the Treasure Cove here, and also worked part time on the newspaper Polaris. She is now director of public relations of the M. H. deYoung Memorial Museum in San Fran cisco.
 The books setting is an iso- lated village in the far north. When mystery-writer Lee Evans and his wife Barbara choose this village to hole up in while he writes a novel and at the same time to look over a gold claim he has acquired, they become entangled in solution of a series of murders stranger than any he ever contrived.
 The murders begin with the death of Ruth Craig, a beautiful Hollywood entertainer whose very presence in the gloomy will lage is>a mystery, and continues through the investigation by the US. Commissioner and the US. Marshal from Fairbanks. Events surge ahead swiftly, as the ter rified toWnspeople are drawn into a suspicious, apprehensive circle. The familiar setting and good plot should make the story popular in Alaska.

Street Department Clearing Streets After Big Storm

Seward is blanketed by 21 inches of snow which fell in the first three days of this week. Snow removal facilities are tax ed to keep the business section cleared but general satisfaction is expressed at the success of the street department in this work.
 Ora d CTS, cats, trucks and scoopmobile work nearly around the clock as the snow continues to fall, and streets are remark ably clear, with very little ob- struction to the heavy truck traf- fife in town this year.
 Slides on the Turnagain Arm stretch of h ighway between Portage and Anchorage have de layed both highway and rail transportation, but unless the temperature rises over the week end, the highway is expected to be in good condition.
 Eight to twelve foot snow walls along the highway tend to give drivers a false sense of security, and motorists are urged to continue careful driving to enjoy the vivid beauty of the drive through the Kenai noun tainS.

Mary Walker, dark haired 16- year old sophomore, was crown ed Alaska-Nebraska Basketball Queen for 1854, at the coronation dance held last Saturday night in the Civic Center.
 Miss Walker won in closely contested election sponsored by the Seward Chamber of Com merce with the cooperation of city business houses. Total num- Der of votes cast for her amount ed to 15,507.

SEAHAWKS LEAVE MONDAY FOR TOURNAMENT GAMES

A Cordova Airline plane will again take the Seward basket ball team to Fairbanks next Monday. This time they will make a try for the Western Al aska championship, which Coach Don Dalberg thinks they have a good chance of winning.
 Although the Seahawks have actually won only two confer ence games, they lost five games by only two points, two of these being overtime games. It is felt that the Seward team is now as strong as any of the Railbelt teams, although on a whole, it lacks height. This young team has now been building for two years and looks good. Home town fans will be roofing for the Seahawks and hoping to hear some of the games by radio.
 Since the plane will not be filled by the team, several seats will be available for other per sons who plan to go to Fairbanks on that day. Round trip tickets for this special plane can be had for S25.

Freight Line Barge Aground On Montague island

Efforts were being made Thursday night to float Barge No. 1854 belonging to Alaska Freight Lines, off the beach on Montague Island. Company of ficials hoped that the high tide of Thursday night might aid in nudging the big barge loose from it's sandy bed.
 B fore noon Friday, the Freight Lines office stated that three powerful tugs of 200O horsepower were standing by and working on the stranded barge, ready to unload part of the cargo if necessary. Brief squalls with 35 mile winds are not helping the situation any. the barge broke loose at about 4 o'clock in the morning of Tues day, March 2. It lies on the out side beach where it drifted in after breaking away from the tug Osage in a storm.
 Thursday night reports here were that the barge was leak ing, but that deck cargo of trail CTS was in no dan ger. It is thought that the barge was car rying about $50 tons of general cargo for Valdez and Seward.

California Man Made Chief of Police Here This Week

Michael Burke, of Bakersfield, California, and Matanuska Val ley, Alaska, took oath of office last Saturday night as chief of police. The former chief, Don Balmat, resigned as of that date.
 MT. Burke comes to Alaska with a record of three years ac- tive duty with the police de- partment of Bakersfield, Calif- ornia and three years in Oak land, California, where he grad uated from the Oakland Police Academy. He also attended Fed eral Bureau of Investigation schools of instruction.
 The Burke family came to Al aska in December to live on a homestead in Matanuska Valley, which they took sight unseen. Upon arrival there, the place was discovered to be inadequate, and they moved to Seward. Mrs. Burke is from a distinguished California family. She is not ac- customed to the kind of weather she found in Alaska, but like other Californians expects to ad- just quickly to the climate. There is one child in the family, a little boy not yet of school age.
 Another Californian on the police force is Robert Jackson who replaced Officer Bundy, on the latter's resignation sev- eral weeks ago. Mir. Jackson is also from Bakersfield with good recommendations and expert ence.

Jesse Lee News
By Tommy Dillard

If discussion is any indication, the Staff talent show Saturday night was a big success. It has been the prevalent topic of con versation during most of the week. With everything from "meller-dramer" to an imported hill-billy artist on the program, there was something for all ages. It would be difficult to decide which group had more fun, how ever-the audience or the per formersi
 Room by room Jesse Lee is blossoming into it's Easter out fit. The latest accessory" is the brown and yellow mail room. By April there should be sev- eral more painting jobs added to the ever-growing list.
 A guest during the week has been Miss Ann Duncan. She has spent her time revolving be- tween the Home and the San, visiting friends in both places before her trip on to Fairbanks.
 Mrs. Connelly's art class is having to manage without her while she is working on the school annual, but she left them with plenty to keep them busy. At present they are block-print- ing the Alaskan flag on hand kerchiefs to be used during Methodist Conference meetings. The young artists cut the block designs themselves and are now decorating the handker- chiefs.

Alcskons and The McCdrron Act

January 20, 1854 MT. John P Boyd,
 District Director,
 Immigration and Naturalization Service,
 815 Airport Way,
 Seattle, 4, Washington Dear MT. Boyd:
 Twas rather astounded to read in the Alaska papers an Associ- ated Press dispatch sent out from Seattle in the forepart of November quoting you as saying that Alaskans now believe the McCarran Act in it's application to the Territory is beneficial. You must have been talking to different Alaskans that I. Not yet have I found a single Alaskan who was other than in dignant that classification of his citizenship is required before he can enter the states from Alaska.
 It is noted you were quoted as having said the Act kept out of Alaska a good many "agitat- ors and trouble-makers". By whose definition are they to be designated as such? I did not know that the standards set up under the McCarran Act were such as to allow the special cat egory of "agitators and trouble makers. I rather believe, MT. Boyd, that if a plebicite were held in Alaska on the question of the McCarran Act about 99.9 per cent of Alaskans would de- sire to amend it to exclude the Territory from it's provisions.
 Sincerely yours,
 E. L. Bartlett

P.-T.A. - and You

Action Program of the P-TA
 A program of action has been adopted by the National con gress in order that both nation ally and locally the entire or ganization can accomplish more.
 Since the program is broad and extensive it is probable that many points will be closely re- lated to our immediate needs. This program can be realized only thru your volunteer CO., operation with the Parent Teach CT Association. In no other or ganization can you as an indi- vidual contribute more to the community. The foundation of the nation begins in the home and PTA stresses family unity and it's importance to our na- tion'S strength. It urges schools, churches and other groups to extend course to prepare young people for family life. It pro- notes a new and better health program not only in home and school examinations but also in counseling services. It urges court procedures to be redesign- ed where laws are out dated and inadequate. It is cooperating to establish counseling services to include mental health, child guidance and family relations. Thru this action program PTA is promoting a better under standing of the function of the schools. America owes much to the system of public education and it is by continual study that the school program can be inn proved. Because of its unique position the parent teacher work can coordinate the efforts of all those interested in the school It plans a more cooperative pro gram between school and busi- ness whereby work experience can be provided. Thru publicity PTA keeps the public informed of the events and activities of

Money On The Line For Trip To Seward Nebraska

The question of who is going to Seward, Nebraska and how has been uppermost in a good many minds for some time. With the contracting for an airplane this week the Chamber of Com merce is receiving money from those who are paying their own way. There were over forty who said that they would definitely like to have their names on the list to go and since the number of seats available is thirty-five it was announced that first come with cash, first served.
 We are going via Alaska Air lines on a DC-4 which will hold fifty-two passengers. We will go by way of Seattle and will carry a double crew-that is, four pi lots will be in the operation room at all times. We will leave from Anchorage in the late af- ternoon or evening of Sunday, May 30th.
 So far seventeen have put their money down with a good many others planning to right away. Those going so far are Dr. and Mrs Joseph Deisher and son, Al Trump. Patsy Will Hams, Andrew Corpin, Mrs. Vic tor Mahan, Lura and Sara Peck, Clyde Sume, MT. and Mrs. Sol Uric, Dr. and Mrs. R. M. Wag- ner, Ted Howell, and one who is buying the ticket as a sur prise present for another not named. Jacque Roth has added his name to the list today and a couple of others have their checks in the mail and so will be listed later. Ten players, a manager and a coach, two cheer leaders and queen will be taken back and there are two and possibly three seats that will be used for special invita- tions, ie.-the Governor has been invited as have newspaper and magazine folks. There are many folks who asked to have their names on the list and they are there but the time has ar rived when only those with their money on the line will be con Sidered as on the list of who is going.
 Arrangements are being made through King Television in Sc attle to have the group televised with outstanding sports figures from that City when the plane lands there. Both AP. and UP. news coverage has begun in the states with about forty-five pie lures already in their hands from here. These will appear from time to time in many of the stateside newspapers and on T.V. stations. The fund drive is at the half way mark with many very interesting events scheduled to take place.

 MT. Zabaleta plays without ac compartment. He held his audi ence enthralled with his won derful artistry, and listeners emerged from the auditorium with loud praise of the music which was rare pleasure in Alaska.
 The children, too, who heard the special children's concert in the afternoon, were unstinting in their praise. They pronounced it good" which is the exact opposite of what has been said of some concerts. Coming from young fry, this is high praise.
 Seward All girls held the re- ception following the concert. They served a variety of cook ies, all of which they had made themselves. Coffee and tea were also served on the beautifully arranged table.
 Earlier in the evening MT. Zabaleta was the guest of the concert committee at a dinner held in the Nurses Residence. The artist seemed to enjoy his stay in Seward and proved to be one of the most popular guests of the season.
