Fire Hazards

there."
Tile basement of this building
has no means of exit exeept
the main stairway to Ihe first
floor. Other members of the in
specting party state that the
“oldtimers” sleep in the base
ment without ventilation, ade
quate heat or safety.
"It is our belief,” states Green,
“that in view of these condi
tions, and until they install a
steel ladder and platform for
a fire escape, until the wiring
is pronounced safe by city elec
tricians and until the whole
place in general is cleaned up.
that it should be condemned.”
Green also states that all
other rooming houses, apartment
buildings and hotels in the city,
with the exception of the New
Seward Hotel, have failed to
comply with the fire ordinance
requiring steel fire escapes and
platforms, that owners have paid
no heed to warnings of the com
mon council.
A new fire ordinance is in
preparation providing stiff pen
alties for violation of these regu
lations, and will be invoked im
mediately upon adoption.

By Mildred Kirkpatrick
Do you remember when the
Draft began before World War
II? There were farewell parties,
dinners, gifts, and a crowd at the
station to “see the boys off.”
It has begun again. Next Mon
day afternoon, five of our boys
are going again. These are only
the first contingent. Every
month will see a few going, but
five seems a rather large num
ber /or our population.
These are younger brothers
of those who went before. They
i attended the farewells of their
i brothers. Are they to be left
! alone, ignored, or forgotten, just
to get out of town by themselves,
I without any acknowledgement
from the town?
No doubt there will be some
private parties for them, indi
vidually, but it seems only fit
, ting that some public acknowl
i edgement should be made these
' youngsters. I say this, not be
j cause one of these first boys is
| my own son—he does not like
| parties—but because it is the
beginning of a continuing thing.
Editorial comment over the
! country is noting the absence of
! any feeling or patriotic enthus
! iasm during this draft. The in
| ductees themselves, go into the
service reluctantly, feeling
cheated and with low morale.
Part of that feeling may be due
! to the lack of interest at home.
| Mrs. Bell, Clerk of the Local
; Board No. 1 in Anchorage, re
| marked that none of the Alaska
1 cities are doing anything for
1 the boys leaving home for the
' service, and said she thought it
! would be “so very nice’’ if they
! did. This has been brought up
i to various organizations about
i town, and many people agree
! that “we should do something,"
i but as yet no one has come for
I ward with a plan. The time is
; short. If we are going to do
anything, somebody must start
i it soon.
I noticed a work gang this
| morning, in which four out of
seven men were quite young.

Especially the fellows swinging
I sledge hammers. After a few
months of the draft, those young
men are going to be conspicuous-'
ly absent. Seward and other
communities will be made up of'
older men. We will all miss)
them then, not just their families. |
Let’s not allow our young j
men to filter out of town with
i the feeling that they won’t be |
missed, that the town will be
better without them, or that j
they are not wanted, anyway.
For some, Army life will be an
education in discipline, which
will benefit them. For all, it is
i a complete change in the way of
! living, and for many, it is their
I first time away from home. It
| will not be easy.
Let's show our appreciation
now, and for every group that
is called.
