SEWARD SHOULD CAST RECORD VOTE
Next Ti#sdav the voters of Alaska go to the polls to elect
a delegate to Congress, attorney general, auditor and high
way engineer as w ell as to pass on the controversal fish trap
measure and name their territorial senators and representa
tives to the Legislature.
While the ed tor has pretty well made up his mind on the
candidates and issues involved, he believes that the voters of
Seward likewise have (.'one so, and can see no reason tor try
ing to influence them to his way of thinking.
It is* perhaps unfortunate, because of limited time, expense
and distances involved, that more o! the candidates could not
completely cover the district and that quite a few ol them
have had to puss up Seward. 1 Iowcver, most of them are
well enough known to the average voter to count on personal
following tor election.
That partv line w ill not be strict!) followed is quite evident
b\ past history. 1 he number of A 1 ask a n s who will vote a
straight r cket can onl\ be estimated after the final returns
are in—and it undoubtedi\ will be several days before some
of the closer contests are lei ini tel y decided.
We have followed the fish trap controversy with consid
erable mu e-t, and find that the ballot does not call for im
mediate ahold., n of fish traps, but for their gradual elimina
tion me a period of time, i lie probabilities are that the fight
will be - nagged out lor several years.
Our one hope is that the issue, as well as the selection of 1
(uir public servants, will be decided by a majority of the
voters of Alaska and not by a small minority.
The o n 1 \ w ;n to achiev e this is to go to the polls next
7 uesday and \() 1 L.

pie can no longer be ignored, than
by turning in ft record vote?
A large vote is important to us
in another way. No one knows or
cares too much about what hap
pens to our town except ourselves.
No one but a resident and business
man of Seward knows just what
particular problems concern us
locally and what we expect from
he next Legislature. Consequently,
we MUST be represented in that
Legislature. We have the choice
Ibis year of two men from this
town. Both parties stand strongly
r the elimination of fish traps,
and both can be depended upon to
work for the greatest good of
Seward.
No one can do it but just our
'■'vos, and we must not leave this
vital decision up to the other vot
es in the Third Division. We must
not sit back and watt to see what
“they" will do about it. The life
of Seward is too important to gam
ble with. The people of Seward
MUST get out and vote, men and
women alike. It i,s our last chance
to do something constructive for
urselves.
Tuesday, October 12, from 8:00
a.m. till 7.00 pm., at the City Hall,
if you live within the city limits.
For all residents outside the cor
porate limits of Seward the polls
are located at the Walter Bryan
home at Mile 6V2. It is important1
that you vote in the right place in
order that your vote may be legal.
Rogardless of what your politics
may be. see that you and all eli
gible members of your family, your
friends and acquaintances, get to 1
the polls and help us turn in a rec- :
ord.
VOTE FOR SEWARD!

1300 X-Rays Taken
By Mobile Unit
Thirteen hundred X-rays were
taken by the Alaska Department
of Health’s mobile unit during the
past two months, Dr. Frederick
Swansbn, Field ^Physician of the
Tuberculosis Control Division, re
ported recently. He added that
about three per cent of those ex
amined showed X-ray evidence of
tuberculosis. The X-rays were part
of a generalized public health pro
gram conducted in the Interior by
this unit.
The mobile unit, a converted
Army truck, started its 2500 mile
journey from Anchorage in July.
After stops at four boarding homes
in the Matanuska Valley, it con
tinued along the Glenn Highway
giving medical care to CAA and
Road Commission employees. It
travelled down the Richardson
Highway to Copper Center and
then went to Big Delta. People
from the Yukon River area re
ceived the unit's public health
services ta Circle. Circle City and
Center on the Steese Highway.
The unit then travelled along the
Alcan Highway from Big Delta to
the Canadian Border. The final
lap of the journey was from Tok
Junction to Big Timber.
The unit’s medical team con
sisted of Dr. Swanson, Mrs. Fern
Biallard of Anchorage, Public
Health Nurse, and Mr. William
Durance of Douglas, X-ray Tech
nician. Mrs. Naomi Talbitzer, Pub- j
lie Health Nurse of Fairbanks,
made arrangements for stops and
follow-up visits.
New Children's Ward
At Sanatorium
One of the most charming
sights seen in a long while is the
new children's ward at the Home
In The Woods Hospital. Gayly dec
orated shelves by each little white
bed lend an air of cheerfulness
unexpected in such surroundings.
The children range in ages sev
enteen months to thirteen years.
Toys and craft work material are
available in the ward.
Everything is set to child-size
use. The bathtubs are raised from
the floor so the nurses will not
have to bend while bathing the
cnildren. Bathing seventeen chil
dren could almost make a perma
nent crook in the back.
Archie, the seventeen-months-old
boy, is the youngest. He has a
huge collection of soft wooly dolls,
many of them as large as he is.
Hilda, a tiny little girl of the Dio
medes Islands has not learned to
! speak English. But she has re
sponded to training in the past
few days by learning to eat.
These children are as happy as
children usually are. They don’t
know much about illness, and with
the good care they are receiving
the chances are pretty good that
they will continue to be happy.
Douglas Davis, son of Mr. and
Mrs. D. Forrest Davis celebrated
his sixth birthday at a little dinner
party at his home Friday evening.
His guests were Dickie Paulstein
or. Gary Davis, cousin, Connie
Davis, sister and Miss Bogard his
; rimary teacher, all invited espe
cially by Douglas. After the dinner
the group attended the theater.
Mr. and Mrs. Ozzie Dana left
via Anchorage for Miami, Florida
last Saturday.
The Danas own half interest in
the Kenai Bus Lines now operat
ing from Seward to Kenai. t
They will spend the winter in
Miami.
