Hospital Auxiliary In Recent Meeting

The Auxiliary of the Seward General Hospital met for their regular meeting the second Tues day of the month at 2:30 in the recreation room in the basement of the hospital. By the way - did you know there was a Recre- ation Room in the basement of the hospital? Neither did your reporter until being invited to attend a meeting of the Auxiliary.
 And there were a lot of other things We didn't know about the hospital until that meeting. For instance - who operates the hos. pital - and under what kind of arrangement with the city - and for how long? And what about the talk of a new hospital? Is there going to be one? and where? and when? and who will pay for it |?
 We also learned that it is the business and duty of the members of the newly organized Hospital Auxiliary to interpret the hospi- tai to the public. That's interest ing. We're going to the next meeting on the second Tuesday of February, too. There is a lot of interpreting to be done. We want to get in on the ground floor.

The president has issued a pro- clamation setting January 31, 1855 as the end of the period of eligi- bility for certain veterans bene- fits of the Korean Conflict, admin istered by Veterans Administra- tion and other Federal agencies.

 Those entering service AFTER January 31, 1855 will NOT be en titled to education and training when they leave the service.

Eligible veterans who fail to begin training or education within that period will lose further entitlement to this benefit The proclamation also sets cut off date for GI loan entitlement Those entering service after tht January 31,-1955- date, will nct earn this benefit under the Kor can GI Bill. They also must use the entitlement prior to January 31, 1865.

COUNCIL BURNS MIDNIGHT OIL DISCUSSING CITY BUSINESS

One of the longest sessions of a good many months was held on Monday evening of this week when the Council hung on until 2:25 am. Tuesday disposing of heavy agenda of business.
 SEWER ASSESSMENTS
 The City Attorney gave a run down of the legal and practical reasons for making the sewer ass essments in their present manner.
 Following some discussion it was decided to look into the possibility of refunding 2R of the payments to those people who pay cash. PETITIONS
 A report on the recent petitions asking a cut in the City Mana gers diary was heard in which it was reported that of the 104 sign atures on the list about half were taxpayers and of these 16 were registered voters.
 Councilman Petrovich said that it was his belief that in as much as the signers were definitely min ority and that they had failed to make their point that the cut was | justified.
 Gene Lanier was present and said that he was till unconvinced that the City finances were such that they could afford to pay a City Manager as much as they were now paying
 To support his contention he quoted figures taken from the 1854 audit to show that the City had spent about $74,0O0 more than in 1854 than they did in 1853 and in doing so had spent all of a $60,000 surplus on hand when the year started.
 A budget report is due at the next Council meeting on February seventh.
 Merle Trevethan told the Coun- cil that a second petition favoring the retention of the City Manager at his present wages was being circulated by members of tn e Chamber of Commerce and would be presented at the next Council meeting.
 DOGS
 A report from the City Dog officer John Disney was heard on the question of complaints that the new dog pound was causing some disturbance in the neighbor- hood. It was his opinion that after 8 at night there should not be any objectionable amount of noise.
 After a somewhat heated ex- change between Disney and Coun- cilman West it was decided to close down the dog control pro- gram at the end of the month, at least temporarily to see if the problem was under control
 CIVIL DEFENSE
 Ed Fortier, Deputy Director of Civil Defense for the Territory, was present and showed two films on the explosion of the H-bomb in the western Pacific and so called '"fall-out" which occurs fol- lowing an atomic explosion. It was the 'fall-out" from the H-Bomb explosions which caused the in- jury of Japanese fishermen who were some 100 miles from the ex- plosion site.
 Fortier told the Council that it was now considered possible that the Anchorage-Fort Richard son area might be a possible H. Bomb target and if so Seward could expect an influx of refugees and

Land Management
 Summary Reported
Ia Aa~AAA.4a.sAfnA. =

As about 4,O0O,O00 acres are un- der oil and gas leases in Alaska, most publicity relative to Bureau of Land Management activities has been about oil and gas recently, according to Lowell M. Puckett, Area Administrator. However there has been no slow down in other land office functions in All aska. he said. A total of 770 pat ents were issued in the Territory during 1854. Of these, 645 came through the Anchorage Land Office and 125 through Fairbanks.
 Hundreds of small tracts were leased and are proceeding to pat ent and practically all of the leas- able islands to the southwest are under grazing lease, the official said. Homesteading continues brisk although the new law re- quiring veterans to cultivate 1/S of the total area, the same as all other entrymen, seems to have slowed the rate of filing among eX-military men, in the opinion of ELM land office personnel. A number of sale at auction of busi- ness sites were conducted during the year.
 ! ELM has the responsibility of disposing of timber and other re- sources of the land and of dir ecting fire fighting and fire sup pression on the public domain There were total of 16S timber sales, involving a total of slightly over III million board feet. There l were also 249 permits issued for free use timber involving almost 2a million board feet.
 During 1854 there were 10 gravel sales by ELM totaling 69,15O cubic yards and "A free use gravel per mits involving a total of 2,296, ,120 cubic yards, principally to other government agencies. The per init for sales and free use of tim | OCI dho 6ldNCl "OlS persed throughout the Territory. Efforts are now being made to prepare preside inventories and short summaries of the informa- tion as to species and volume pre- sent in order to attract prospec- tive purchasers. The cutting reg ulations. which are designed to leave the areas in productive condition, are not so restrictive that they would incur any handi- cap on an operator, it was point ed out.
 During the 1854 calendar year 266 fires burned approximately 1.431 ,000 acres, according to E. V. Zumwalt, ELM official. The total expenditure for fire suppress sion costs was about $612.00O. Twentyfour percent of these fires were caused by lightning and these lightning fires occurred within re- mote areas and were in many cases either economically or geo. graphically inaccessible by tn e time ground control action could be taken, Zumwalt said.
 During the past 15 years there has been a gradual increase in the number of fires, but the acre. age burned has varied greatly from year to year depending pri- marily upon weather conditions.

Chamber Listens to Speaker on the San

Speaker on the San
 A full house of Chamber mem- bers sat down to delicious meal served by the ladies of the WIS. C.S. in the basement of the Meth odist Church on Tuesday of this week.
 ANCHORAGE MEETING
 A report on the recent meeting in Anchorage with Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors of that City was reported on and the major item of interest in that connection was that letter had been written to ask that Con- gressional hearing be held looking into the question of sea train service to Alaska. -..-
 Other matters discussed at the meeting included possible Tour ist exchange with Anchorage. Un- der the plan, tourists coming to Anchorage would be encouraged to visit the kenai Peninsula while in this area.
 DOCK
 A brief discussion of the need for the immediate construction of a new dock was held and it was decided to weigh the possibilities of pushing for the construction inn mediately without regard to the possibility of the seatrains coming to Seward
 It was also decided to send for a copy of the long delayed Wyer Report, since early press reports of it's contents would seem to in- dictate that it contained some mis- information which was definitely to the detriment of Stewards po- sition as a seaport.
 CITY AFFAIRS
 City Manager Raymond O'Hara was asked to comment on the cur rent rumor that he had resigned following the Monday eve n n g , Coucil meeting. He told the Cham Der that it was true that he had given six months notice of his intention to resign. His agree ment With the City requires go days notice.
 There followed considerable dis cussion of recent developments in i the City government and it was re- ported that there was currently in circulation petition enumerating gains made by the City under O'Hara's guidance and asking the Council to retain him at his pre-, sent salary.
 It was decided to appoint a com mittee to investigate and evaluate the gains made and bring them to the attention of the public and the City Council.
 A unanimous vote of confidence was also passed by the meeting. SAN PROBLEM
 Paul Nelson spoke to the Cham. Der on the problem of vacant beds at the San, and asked the assist. ance of the Chamber in trying to get some action to make full use of local facilities. At the present patients are being shipped out to the State of Washington for treat. ment while Alaskan facilities are not being used to the fullest. Nelson said that there was no ob. jection to using the Washington facilities, however, in order to fol. low out the recommendations of the Paran Report, full use of all facilities should be made if we hope to gain on the problem of the high TB incidence in Alaska.
 It was agreed by the members that keeping the San running at capacity was of major interest to Seward as well as the rest of the Territory, and action will be taken on the matter.

It's a Greeting Only You Could Send!

Of all the many Christmas cards
we received from our friends last
year, those we enjoyed the most
and remembered the longest were
the Photographic ones.
And the reason? Simply because
the picture each sender had Sc
lected made a unique and very
personal message out of the usual
traditional Yuletide greeting. In
every instance-whether the pic
ture in question was the latest ad-
dition to the family, favorite
pet amid gaily wrapped packages,
the family gathered around the
fireplace, or a view of the front
door-the card expressed a warm,
intimate feeling that its greeting
was especially for you
With Christmas coming UP fast,
it's not a bit too early to begin
thinking about having a photo
graphic card made. Run through
the pages of your album and see
whether there's a snapshot the
whole family feels would make a
good card. If so, take the negative
to your photo dealer, select a style
of folder or mount you like, and
he'll carry on from there.
If you prefer to start out with
a brand-new picture, however,
