REHAB MAN LASHES LANNEN
By GEORGE HAMPTON

We here at the Rehab Center were shocked by an article recent ly printed in the Seward Seaport Record. This particular item was under the heading, Democratic Candidates Speak Out at Friday Dinner Rally"
 The item was:
 "H. J. "Kinky" Lannen, the Democratic candidate for the Com missioner of Labor office, in dis cussing the need for increased police work by the Commissioners office, Lannen apparently referred to the Rehab Center at the San atorium when he spoke of the use of half sick people in competition with legitimate businessmen and workers"
 Do We fully realize what that statement means? Here is state. ment by man who evidently has absolutely no conception of the word Rehabilitation"
 Here is a statement by a man who surely has never had an assoc iation with a handicapped person. Has this man ever known the crav- ing of blind man to find a means to make his way in the world and be self-sufficient? Has this man ever known what it is to see a cripple taking his place with other workers? Has this man ever seen polio victim striving to learn a job that was suitable to his hand icap? Has this man ever seen an ex-tubercular patient eager to take his place among his fellow people? :?
 The folks at Rehab do not con- demn such a mans opinion. We do forgive him. He is uniformed. His scope of this great problem is limited
 Does this man know that by re- storing the handicapped to self supporting work, vocational re- mobilization helps all of us?
 Does this man know that every time rehabilitated handicapped person is hired to a job, it means

PARENT TEACHER PARTY NIGHT ENJOYED BY LARGE GROUP

A memory too pleasant to be for gotten is the way yau might describe the Get acquainted with the Teachers Party" which was held on September 25 in the Gym nasium at the School. More than hundred parents turned out for the gala evening of entertaisment.
 The Hidden Talent" show was especially successful. and due to the large number of participants the program of the evening had to be cut short. Games whicr had been planned have been held for some future get together.
 Participants in the talent show included Mrs. Helen Lambert mad Doris Doyle who sang a duet; Bar bara Vaughn who danced; Linda Norton and Charlotte Kramer in vocal duet; and Janis Jeffrey, Sara Peck, Judi Jones, Gloria Huges, Amelia Jensen and Laurel Lewis of the Mixing Bowl All groop giv- ing their interpretation of Drag net, rechristened "Hairnet". The group is under the leadership of Mrs. Vic Mahan.
 There was a trio consisting of Katherine and Peggy Werner and Roberta Hendrickson. The team of Mike and Arthur Shaeffermeir was well received and Mike won first prize by popular acclaim.
 A clown tumbling act by three Army men introduced PFC Johnny Fortune, who outlined for the meeting plan for an aerial Circus especially adapted to the youth of the community. Young folks from the age IA and up. would all find spot suited to their talents and abilities, in the Circus.
 Members of the PTA were asked to indicate if they wished the matter to be looked into further. Equipment, they were told, could be made locally and the cost of such an undertaking would be low. The plan has been very suc- cessful in number of other com- munities. The group was we'll pleased with the suggestion and voted unanimous Yes" to fur ther study the suggestion.
 Since the formation of a cicrus troupe would undoubtedly involve use of the school it was decided that it would have to be investigat- ed by the Supt. of Schools and approved as an eXtra-curricular activity.
 A game of musical chairs was played by the teachers and helped everyone to get better acquainted.
 Next on list of events of the evening was a sock race between the men. First man across the

 Leon was also on the job of getting project to divert the creek from Lowell Canyon, which for a number of years threatened to sweep Seward into the bay each year as it broke up. The result was the construction of a tunnel and spillway which discha near the railroad dock.
