Please Mail Early Urges Postmaster

The local Postmaster, Clarence Larson. had word of advice for local folks this week as the Christ mas season approaches and a per iod of extremely heavy mailing will confront the crew at the Post Office.
 The Postmaster pointed out that due to the congested facilities at the Post Office, it is more imper- ative than ever before, that people having Christmas mailing to do get it out early and avoid the last minute rush that annually con fronts the Department.
 At the present time Seward is receiving one of the best mail ser. vice schedules in many years with daily except Sunday air service and twice weekly service by boat from Seattle.
 The Post Office Department as a whole is trying to step up its efficiency and as part of the pro gram, is asking persons using the mails to make their mailings al frequent intervals so that there will not be peak loads accumulat ing at or near closing time.
 In line with this policy of in creased efficiency, the Department has been experimenting with the use of paper mail sacks for ship ping to Alaska and overseas. The bags are reinforced, waterp o kraft paper, and so far, have prov en quite satisfactory in the Alaska service, the local Postmaster said An interesting comment was thai in the case of the recent ship fire that mail shipped in the paper sacks came through in much bet ter condition than that shipped ir the regulation canvas sacks. The paper sacks did not seem to hold the moisture as much as the cloth sacks and they did not come apart as might have been supposed, due to being subjected to the terrific heat of steam which was poured into the hold to put out the fire.
 The one remaining problem in the use of paper sacks for mail seems to be problem of what to do with the sacks once they have been used for shipping mail. Al present they are only used once and then discarded though they are still apparently in good condition and would be usable. If you have any ideas maybe the Post Office Department would be interested in hearing about them.

New Car Interest Running High Here

New cars in Seward being shown by local dealers have really drum med up interest as most all the local dealers are showing models that are entirely new for their lines.
 One of the earliest openers was the Chevrolet and Pontiac line at Win Erwin Motors, and already the sporty new Pontiac has been pur- chased and may be seen gliding through the streets.
 Last week two local dealers had their showings of new models and interest hasn't Jagged bit. Sew ard Machine Shop showed the new Fairlane series Ford and hardly got the car on the floor before it was purchased.

Chamber Meets Sun. In Special Session

1 A jovial crowd of over 75 Seward Chamber of Commerce members, their wives and guests enjoyed a special social session last Sunday evening in the lodge rooms of the Elks Hall, as we'll as having good meal.
 The main speaker of the evening was MT. Stan Strstton, President of the Seattle Chamber of Commer- ce and head of the Seattle office of Standard Oil of California. He told the group of his Company's faith in the future of Alaska in general and Seward in particular. He said that development of the Seward facilities was an act of faith not due to any inside dope on what might be done with the , Seward end of the Railroad.
 Another speaker of the evening was MT. Chet Lattimer of the Seattle First National Bank. He gave us a start for unlike Alaska Bankers, he was looking for a pool of blood, rather than the usual per cent. All worked out, however, when he explained that the Blood pool when formed would be used to supply Alaskans who were outisde for medical treat ment. The present annual usage by Alaskans is 400 to 800 pints, and many of these have to be pur- chased at a rate of about $32 per pint.
 Other speakers included Don Toilette of the Seattle Chamber, and Bob Rose of the Alaska Steam ship Go. Rose gave the crowd a good laugh when he told the group that as General Passenger Agent for the company he was as much unhappy as anyone about the dis continuance of the passen r ships. He told the gathering that he could see no possibility of a resumption of passenger traffic by his company or any other.
 As a mark of appreciation for the Standard Oil Company's faith in the Seward area President Win Erwin made a presentation of an Honorary Membership to the Sew ard Chamber of Commerce to MT. Stan Stretton, the main speaker of the evening.
 Throughout the meal, music was provided by three piece band which played on for the evening, providing music for dancing.
 Both the visitors and Sewardites proclaimed the evening one of the most enjoyable they have spent in many years.
 The list of visitors at the dinner included MT. Chet Lattimer, MT O'Rourke. Bob Rose, Solly Spring George Marble. Mir. and Mrs. Don Toilette, Pete Debore. Ross Wood and MT. Stanley Stretton.
