Development Board
Proposes Full Time
Washington Office
JUNEAU — A full-time Alaska
office in Washington, D.C., to as
sist the Delegate and push such
programs as statehood, road and
airfield construction, effective ship
ping legislation, and development
matters before Congress and the
Federal administrative agencies
was proposed recently by the Alas
ka Development Board.
The‘board, in a unanimous dec
laration, points out that Alaska's
Delegate, who is already the most
overworked man in Washington,
is faced with even greater tasks
ahead in attempting to carry out
legislative programs for which the
people of Alaska have so de
cisively spoken.
Delegate E. L. “Bob” Bartlett
has endorsed the Development
Board proposal.
“No state has less than three
men in Congress,” a board state
ment said. “Alaska, with so many
pressing needs in the national
capital, has been expecting one
man to do the whole job. No mat
ter how able and devoted our Dele
gate is, it would be impossible for
one man to accomplish all the
things the Territory wants done in
Washington.”
The Territories of Hawaii and
Puerto Rico have long had offices
in Washington, the board pointed
out. The budget of the Washing
ton office of Puerto Rico, for ex
ample, this year alone totals $125,
000 and provides seven employees.
The Territories have found that
such representation pays' off in
benefits which can be gained at
the capital.
The Alaska Development Board
has included an item of $65,000 for
a Washington office in its budget
request for the next biennium. This
Is about one-fourth as much as
Puerto Rico spends for the same
purpose. The Development Board's
total appropriation request for all
its activities the next biennium is
$500,000.

Last Basketball Game
Of First Series
Tonight at School
Tonight in the high school gym
nasium the City League basket
ball teams meet again to deter
mine team standings for the first
series of intra-city games.
The undefeated high school
Ponies meet the Seward Light &
Power team at 7:30 p.m., and the
Hardwaremen and the Army are
matched for the second game of
rhe evening.
Hot dogs, coffee and pop will be
served for the convenience of spec
! tators. Hot dogs are being donated
by the Kenai Co-op, and rolls
are being donated by the Seward
Bakery. Sale of hot dogs is to help
defray expenses of the high school
team's tour.
There will be a lapse of two
weeks before the second series of
the City League schedule begins.
Reason for this lapse is that the
Seward High squad is going on an
interscholastic basketbail tour,
playing Anchorage, ’Palmer and
Wasilla.
Since the Seward High team is I
leaving on a game-playing tour, j
representing their school and their
city, a large crowd is expected to
attend tonight’s games.
LOCAL FLOWER SHOP TO
STOCK CANARIES *
There is quite a bit of specula
tion about town as to who will be
the first to buy a monkey from Sid
Urie. Urie, who now has a flower
shop in town, is soon to receive a
stock of canaries of the German
Warbler variety.
In addition to the canaries he
has goldfish and turtles, and can
secure almost any kind of pet de
sired, induing parrots, African love
sired, including parrots, African love
birds, and Malayan monkeys. He
will have a stock of foods for these
pets.
Mrs. Art Brooks underwent a
minor operation last week at the
Seward General Hospital and is
now doing her convalescing at
home.

It was a man who flew in the
face of public opinion and admitted
openly that “The hand that focks
the cradle rules the world.” No
doubt he incurred the wrath of the
bulk of his constituents, but wom
en, all of whom had lived in smug
consciousness of the fact for many
centuries, grabbed this first public
acknowledgement to take the first
sleps to freedom and equality of
the sex.
Now, it has been agreed that it !
is high time that women be repre- j
sented by a column in our own
Seward paper. Sometime, we hope,
this will expand to a whole
woman’s page! The author prefers
to remain known simply as “The !
Cradle Rocker” for several reasons. |
She feels that you Seward women !
may cooperate more readily if you |
do not actually know when you
are talking to her, and you will be j
talking to her many times a week. |
By cooperation. I mean this: if
you have a favorite recipe, a verse, i
or a question to ask, just drop a
penny postcard in the mail ad
dressed to The Cradle Rocker,
Seward Seaport Record, Box 204.
and the author will do her best to
look up the answer to your ques-1
tion. For instance:
I was in the beauty parlor this
week when a certain gal was get
ting a special oil treatment he- ;
cause she had failed to cover her
hair when she painted her kitchen. I
Like most of us, she had run short j
of white paint, because she had (
smeared so much into her hair and j
onto herself instead of putting it j
all on the wall. Carhon tetra- j
chloride had removed the paint!
from her hands and face very
readily, so, Mrs. X. also used it on
her hair! The result was dried and
brittle ends that will have to be
cut, along with many expensive
oil treatments. Had she but known
it, a little turpentine on cotton,
followed by olive oil woyild have
saved her much grief.
Incidently, this is the same gal
who swallowed the stuff thinking
it was mineral oil! She says it
doesn't work inside any better
than outside. Perhaps she should
keep it out of sight.
Our column is designed to avoid
just such misadventures as this.
If you have a question of what to
use for unusual stains, etc., drop
us a line, and we will search in all
the books in town to try and find
the answer for you. This is your
column—make use of it!
