“School days, school days,
Dear old golden rule days.”
Not one of us but looks back
with some nostalgia to our own
school days. We had what we
thought were troubles and many,
many happy days, which in the
long run are the remembered ones.
Now our own children are start
ing to school again. Most parents
are glad to put the children back
on regular routine. We feel that
Seward has provided well for the
school population this year with
a big new addition to the build
ing, increased teaching staff, and a
revised and enlarged heating plant.
We are proud of what has been
accomplished.
There is only one improvement
yet to be made for children, and
that is some provision for hot
lunches. If the weather of the past
week and on the first day of school
is any indication of what is to fol
low, it seems most essential to
avoid the extra trip for the little
tots, through the rain, snow and
winds of winter.
It is to be hoped that the Par
ent-Teacher Association which has
been so wide awake and active
during the past years, will take ad
vantage of the money made avail-1
able to the Territorial Schools by
the bill passed this summer in
Congress providing $11,000 for the
hot lunch program in Alaska, to
set up some sort of program here. !
The lack of suitable room in the
; school building will undoubtedly
be a drawback to such a program,
but a survey of what has been
done in other communities should
aid in working out some plan. It
seems certain that the parents of
school children would be ready
and eager to give all possible as
sistance to the P-TA in improvis
ing such a program.
VETERANS ADVISED TO CHECK
G.I. INSURANCE POLICIES
Veterans should check their G.I.
insurance from time to time to
make certain their policies do what
they intend them to do, the Vet
erans Administration advises.
Changing of circumstances in a
veteran’s life may dictate certain
changes in his insurance program,
the VA said, pointing out three
main items to be watched.
First, a veteran should check the
amount of insurance he is carrying.
He may not need to carry the full
$10,000 the law allows. On the
other hand, if he is carrying less
than the full amount and can af
ford more, he may want to increase
his insurance coverage.
Second, he should check * the
type of insurance he is carrying.
Besides term insurance, a veteran
may choose any one of six perma
nent plans, or any combination of
them.
Third, he should decide who is
to get his insurance money and
how it is to be paid. A veteran
may designate anyone as bene
ficiary, or name more than one if
he chooses. He may also change
beneficiaries at any time. Insur
ance benefits may be paid under
any one or a combination of four
different plans.

Moose Pass News
Mr. Mel Horner of Moose Pass
was at Falls Creek Mine for a few
days last week. Mr. Horner was
one of the original owners of the
property and never misses an op
portunity to visit the mine to see
the development that is constantly
being made.
Mr. Horner is very pleased that
the Alaska Railroad will appoint
a station agent at Moose Pass,
which will be a great convenience
to this section of the Kenai Penin
sula and greatly facilitate shipping
to and from Falls Creek Mine.
Mr. Art Liening of Falls Creek
Mining Company spent two days
in Anchorage this week on busi
ness.
Mr. Herman Ward flew up from
his home in Los Angeles to spend
five days at Falls Creek Mining Co. J
to confer with Mr. A. S. Liening, j
president and general manager of
the company, on the future poli
cies and development of the prop
erty. Mr. Ward was gratified with
the courtesies he received on his
first trip to the Territory and
hopes to come back next summer.
Prof. Lutz, forestry instructor of
Yale University, visited Falls
Creek Mine one day last week. He
was very much interested in the
work being done at the mine. Prof.
Lutz said he considers Kenai Pen
insula the most beautiful and in
teresting part of Alaska.
Mr. and Mrs. William Stolt, son
Wayne and daughter Elaine of
Anchorage arrived in Moose Pass
where they were met by Art Lien
ing and taken to the Falls Creek
Camp to visit a few days with Mrs.
Liening and Mrs. Simonton.
Mr. Stolt spent most of his time
inspecting the mine and mill. He
has had considerable mining ex
perience and said he has never
seen as much good ore as is
blocked out in the Falls Creek
Mine. Mr. Stolt expects to return
next year on a combination busi
ness and pleasure trip.
