By Mildred Kirkpatrick
As a member of the Civil
Defense Committee in Seward1
I have watched with consider
able interest the elaborate prep
aration for the practice evacua
tion of the women and children,
dependents of military person
nel of Fort Richardson and El
mendorf Field.
It has occurred to me that
the civilian population of the
adjacent cities of Anchorage and
Fairbanks could conceivably
reach the conclusion that those
families should be removed
from danger immediately and
permanently, or else the same
precautions should be made to
cover the residents of all cities
bordering upon the military res
ervations.
Such preparations must be
disturbing to the peace of mind
and security of the townspeople
of Anchorage who are receiving
instructions to remain in their
homes in case of an air raid or
attack. To watch your next door
neighbor being taken to a place
of safety while your own family
remains at home could be slight
ly upsetting.
One thing about living in
Seward is that there is no place
to go any better than right
here in town. To rush out into
wilderness without food or shel
ter would be more disagreeable
than to stay put and face the
music.
THREE INVOLVED IN
CROSSING ACCIDENT
Willard Dunham is in the hos
pital with a fractured collar
bone as the result of an accident
at Mile 3, when a car driven
by Ralph Rider failed to nego
tiate a curve over the railroad

The accident occurod at 2:00
o'clock Thursday morning.
Jimmy Webb, the third occu
pant of the car, was unhurt.
