Facts Give Lie
To Rosy View
of Red China

LONDON NC Only 96
foreign Catholic missionaries
are alive today in the whole of
communist China, according to
a report released here.
They include four Bishops
two of them in Jail, one Prefect
Apostolic who is in Jail, 81
priests of whom 20 are in Jail,
three Brothers and 26 nuns.
Four years ago when the
communists seized power
there were nearly 5000 such
missionaries. The communists
killed or let die in prison 80
of them. The rest were expelled,
most of them after months-some-
times years-of physical and men
tai tortures to make them confess
to "crimes" of which they were
innocent.
These facts given here in a care
fully prepared pamphlet drawn up
jointly by three national Catholic
societies, the Sword of the Spirit,
which wages war directly on com
munism; the Catholic Truth So
ciety, and the Catholic Social
Guild. 1t is entitled Religious
Freedom in China"
It's declared intention is to coun-
teract the growing benignity of the,
press and the politicians of this
country, backed by Big Business,
toward the tyranny of Peking. 1t
is an answer to bemused politicians
and others who have returned from
pleasant official visits to "the new
China" in the past few months to
repeat the parrotlike phrases of
their hosts. Before reciting some
of the more blatant examples of
terror now operating in communist
China, the pamphlet declares:
What is happening in China is
NOT a side issue. TIE Chinese
people constitute one-fiffh Of
the whole human race. They
will play ar Increasingly import
ant part which in certain eireUn1-
stances could be decisive in
world affairs. Some say that
there Is freedom Of religion in
communist China today. To them
there are two answers:
81. Every school and educational
establishment in China is under
communist control. AS far as we
know there is only one exception,
the girls school run by the Fran
ciscan Missionaries of Mary in Pek-
ing which is permitted for the con-
venience of Indian residents. In ev-
cry school under communist con-
troll political science is a COM
pulsory subject for all grades. Po-
litical science is the teaching Of
Marxism-Leninism, that is stheis-
tic communism.
90. 1t is impossible for anyone in
China to hold position of import
ance unless he is a member of the
Communist Party. To become a
member of the Communist Party
apostasy is essential"

Seaport Record Office Moving This Weekend

The Seward Seaport Record will be moving to new quarters, it was announced this week by William E. Bonser, editor of the paper.
 Effective six o'clock, Saturday evening, October 30th, the paper will close it's doors at the Arcade Building and all equipment and office personnel will be moved to sos Fifth Avenue, across from the Post Office. The new office will be opened on Monday morning in what was formerly the R. o. Sel- lers residence.
 The same telephone number, Main 16S will be used in the new location and it is anticipated that the new location will be more convenient for the newspaper and it's customers.
 Some difficulty has been en- countered in the past when the staff of the paper has been living some distance from the office, thus making it necessary for them to be away from the office frequent ly. In the future, it is hoped that someone will be available at the office at almost all times.

As he outlined them they were: community cooperation. cooperation of doctors, review bv an orthopedist and the services of physical therapist and an A brace maker. All these elements are available and functioning in Sew ard at the present time, Dr. Moore said.
 Dr. Moore also told us that the question frequently arises. should the patient go outside to one of the big hospitals or clinics?" His an- swer is. "No. there is nothing to be gained bv going outside for treatment" He repeated his earl fer statement of the stan d treatment being available right here in Seward for the vast major ity of cases.

Polio Unit Organized To Assist Victims

A group of 26 interested citizens met on Wednesday evening of this week to complete the organization of a Seward unit of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.
 In the absence of Mrs. Torvan- ger who had done so much to start the ball rolling, Mrs. Mildred Kirk patrick took over as temporary chairman of the group until slate of officers could be elected.
 The question was brought up of possible overlapping of the Polio Unit and the recently formed Health Council. It was explained by saying that the Health Council was organized for the larger scope of public health and was a quasi governmental agency while tn e polio unit was primarily concerned with aid to victims of the specific disease polio.
 An election of officers was held and Arnold Anderson was elected chairman; Mark Walker, vice chair man, and Harlan Gerritsen, secre- tary. In the absence of the chair man, MT. Walker the vice chair man, took charge of the meeting. The secretary was also absent, so MT. Ling acted as temporary re- cording secretary.
 The next order of business was to read the proposed bylaws and they were adopted as read, setting the third Wednesday of October as the date for the annual meeting and election of officers. The times and dates of the meetings of the Executive Board monthly meetings were not set, nor was the date for | the unit quarterly meeting which will be announced in the near fu- ture, following a meeting of the Board of Directors.
 In addition to the regular offic- CTS, four members were also elect ed to head up the standing com mittees for Nursing. Public Rela- tions. Volunteer Services and Fund Raising. Mrs. Phil Durant was named chairman of the Nursing Committee; Frank Roberss, of the Public Relations Committee; Mrs. Vic Mahan, of the Volunteer Ser vices Committee, and Mary Stoe- ckle, of the Fund Raising Commit tee.
 Persons who would be willing to volunteer their services for baby sitting, house cleaning, washing. transportation, clerical work and other jobs, assisting polio pictims are asked to contact Mrs. Vic Mahan at 316 Third Avenue. or phone Polk S5.
 A discussion followed in which the group was told of what the policy of the National Foundation was regarding payment of bills for polio care.
 Generally, the Foundation has funds for all treatment and no one should suffer financial loss because of the disease. All medical, hos pital and treatment bills will be paid. however, families that can afford to pay a portion of the cost of treatment are asked to do so and whenever possible it would be appreciated if plans would be made to try and pay back a DOT tion or all of the expense involv- ed. It was emphasized that neith-

COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT NEED OUTLINED AT MEETING

Things were pretty near back to normal on Tuesday as the Cham. Der met for it's regular session in the Diner. Most of the old familiar faces were back around the table. The period of October holidays and lure of the great out doors had kept some of the meet ings during the month short of the regulars.
 Chamber President Win Erwin was back and reported that he was glad to get some fresh air after a stopover in Smogville, to the south of us. While outside he had also been a guest at the Seattle Chamber of Commerce meet ing and witnessed the lighting of a giant light globe as part of an anniversary observance of the 18th birthday of the electric light bulb. MEMBERSHIP
 Tom Ousdale reported that the membership were rolling in and at present the Chamber had 33 paid up business members and 5 individual members. Latest addi- tions to the list were, Liberty Theater, Totem Truck Lines. Yukon Liquar Store, Andy's Oil Delivery, McMullen's and Werner's Market.
 In spite of the heavy membership the Tuesday meeting was short 2 members to make up it's guaran- tee of 20 servings for the dinner. President Win Erwin urged all members to try and get out the rest of the membership to the meetings. Better attendance, Win pointed out, would mean wider understanding of the Chambers objectives and greater success in putting across Chamber programs. ALASKA CHAMBER
 OF COMMERCE
 While outside, the president told the group, he had heard some more talk about forming an Alaskan Blood Bank in Seattle. He said more would be heard about the project at the Alaska Chamber of Commerce meeing to be held in Anchorage early next month
 The president also reported that there was going to be a good meet ing in Anchorage on November II, 12, and 13 of the Alaska Chamber of Commerce and he urged that all members of the Seward Cham Der make an effort at least one day Of the sessions. He also reported that representation was expected from Southeastern Alaskan cities at the Meet.
 STATEHOOD STUDY
 John McAnerney once again brought up the suggestion that the Chamber obtain from the Un- iversity of Alaska one of it's state hood study kits and endeavor to find out some of the facts about the proposals for Statehood, Con- monwealth and continued Territoir- al status. The study would be non-partisan and non-political, Me Aneryey pointed out.
 The Chamber agreed to go ahead with the project and McAnerney was named to head a committee of
