SMALLER ATTENDANCE AT
SECOND CONCERT OF SERIES
The Ligeti-Gordon c o n c c r t
last Friday, which was the sec
ond of the winter series of the
Alaska Music Trail concerts,
had a smaller attendance than
the first.
Association officers account
for this by the really bad wea
ther, which caused a postpone
ment of the musicalc. The
artists were unable to reach
Seward on the night scheduled,
and a postponed event is rarely
a good turn-out.
About 151) music lovers were
in the auditorium, however, and
enjoyed the informal presenta
tion of Mr. Desire Ligeti, bass
baritone. His offerings of 16th
and 17th century songs were
not as well received as the more
modern and popular classics
which made up the latter half of
the program.
Mr. Marcus Gordon's execu
tion of the Moonlight Sonata
and of the Straus waltz from
the Gypsy Baron found greatest
favor with the listeners.
Members of Iota Chapter Beta
Sigma Phi, hostesses at the re
ception which followed the con
cert, estimate that approximate
ly 100 guests were served.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Sipprcll,
and Miss Delia Gabriel, officers
of the Seward Concert Associa
tion, received the guests. Mrs.
Harold Campen and Mrs. Luclla
James poured at the beautifully
appointed table.
Rev. Paul Irwin, when intro
ducing the artists, expressed
public appreciation to Mrs. Ray
James for the use of her baby
grand piano. Mr. Gordon com
mented on its beauty of tone,
saying that he hoped they would
be as lucky on the rest of the
tour, but he was afraid they
| would not.

There is an article elsewhere
in this issue announcing a pub
lic conference in Juneau, Jan.
4, between the Coast Guard and
interested parties, on the unload
ing of Class A explosives in
i amounts of 500 pounds and over.
Because this announcement
might get by without proper
notice, 1 wish to call attention
to it.
This conference can be of
the greatest importance to Sew
ard. It seems worthy of consid
eration by the Longshore unions,
Chamber of Commerce and bus
inessmen.
There is a persistent rumor
that certain agencies are con
templating the construction of
an explosives dock and storage
facilities in or near the Port of
j Whittier. There has been no
i public acknowledgement of such
a plan, but it seems a fairly au
thentic rumor. If it goes through,
there will be no other Alaskan
port acceptable to the receiving
of explosives, under Coast Guard
regulations.
Explosives for highway con- ]
■ struction are a civilian commodi
| ty, and should remain so. As
civilian goods, it should enter
the Port of Seward, not Whit
tier. It is up to this city to be
represented at that conference
in Juneau, to protect the city’s
DEADLINE APPROACHES
FOR G. I. TRAINING
Veterans who are planning
education or training courses
under the G.I. Bill are remind
ed by the Veterans Administra
tion that the deadilne for enter
ing such courses is July 25, 1951.
For most veterans planning
courses in colleges and universi
ties the last chance to enter will
be spring term of this school
year if training is to continue
beyond the deadline date, the
VA warns.
Under present regulations, a
veteran must be actively en
gaged in training on July 25,
1951, if he wishes to continue
beyond that date. If lie is home
from school for the regular
summer vacation he may con
tinue again in the fall, but lie
must be enrolled in the school,
the VA said.
Veterans contemplating train
ing under the G.I. Bill should
make arrangements with the VA
for a certificate of eligibility
as soon as possible. In applying,
a veteran must name the course
he plans to take and the school
he wants to attend. He must
also enroll In a school that has
been in operation for more than
one year. Otherwise, the VA
cannot pay for his course or
pay him a subsistence allowance.
interests in this matter.
If we make a concession on
explosives, it may be the first
step to the elimination of other
kinds of cargo, and that we
cannot afford. Now is as good
a time as any to take a stand.
