PLAYMATES SUFFER
LIKE AILMENT
Two little girls, Barbara Wen
gert and Katie Shelton, neigh
bors and playmates, are in the
same room in Seward General
Hospital recuperating from op
erations for appendicitis.
Barbara, nine-year-old daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Norman
Wengert, was ill for several days
then underwent surgery Friday
for burst appendix. She was a
very sick little girl but is im
proving rapidly now.
Katie is eight years old, the
daughter of Dr. j. H. Shelton.
Her operation was Sunday. Now
that the worst is over, both lit
tle girls arc having a lifetime
experience and more or less en
joying their stay together in the
same room, with the attention
of all the nurses and many
visitors.

SEWARD DRUG CO
THANK DOG CATCHER FOR
EASTER GIFT
The most thankless job of all
is that of dog catcher, he is al
ways a cordially hated man. In
Seward, however, one family ex
presses public thanks to local
police officers for saving their
dog.
Last Friday the cocker span
iel, pet of Dick Beissner’s chil
dren, became very ill with what
appeared to be arsenic poison
ing. By the time her hind legs
became paralyzed, Mrs. Beissner
gave up and called Patrolman
Evans to get the dog, which lie
did, reluctantly.
“This hurts,” he said, as he
and Harry Hall took the dog
away from the weeping chil
dren. Mrs. Beissner and the chil
dren then turned their attention
to trying to feed and save the
litter of week-old puppies left
by the little mother.
Early Sunday morning, Peggy
received a request to call at the
police station. Wonderingly, she
went—and was greeted by a
•apering, tail-wagging cocker,
i he patrolmen had d e v o t e d
many hours and some skill to
restoring the dog to health. "It
was a real Easter Gift," Mrs.
Beissner said, "And we want
people to know that we think
[hose boys arc just swell.”
VISITORS FROM MAINE FAIL
TO FIND SEWARD FRIENDS
Mrs. Catherine Whitman from
Paris, Maine, and Mrs. Gladiola
Cetzlaff, who lives at Wasilla,
cisited Seward Monday night on
i sightseeing trip.
The ladies were unable to lo
cate several friends living in
Seward because of the short du
ration of their stay—they left
igain on the Tuesday morning
[rain. They want their friends
to know that they were here,
mid that they can be reached by
mail at Wasilla.
The * ★
By Mildred Kirkpatrick
The saddest story in town this
week is that of Lt. Easton, USN.
He says it not only the saddest,
but also the most worn, because
he has told it to all and sundry,
so that folks must be getting
tired of seeing him.
The fact is that Lt. Easton’s
wife and three children will be
arriving April 12—and he has
no place to put them. At first
he was a little choosey, wanting
at least two bedrooms. Now he
is willing to settle for one room
if it is big enough to hold the
five of them.
The tw'o or three places he
thought he had have not devel
| oped, but he can have an apart
I merit in a couple of months—as
soon as it is completed. In the
I meantime—what to do?
j This is an old story in Alaska,
| but rather new in Seward since
| the war. The tragic part is that
j this will be a continuing situa
tion with no prospect of better
ment for some time to come.
If anyone can help this Navy
man for just a few weeks, a
word to us or to Lt. Easton at
the Army Dock would be great
ly appreciated.

ALASKA LINE PEOPLE
ARE GOOD CUSTOMERS
Among my best customers are my friends and neigh
bors who work for The Alaska Line here in the Terri
tory. And there’s a good reason. Last year they — and
their co-workers throughout Alaska — received over a
million dollars for providing services and supplies for
The Alaska Line. Longshoremen alone received more
than $818,000 in wages. The major part of this money
is spent right here — in the stores of hundreds of small
businessmen like me. This means more jobs . . . more
paychecks . . . more progress for all of us her* :n Alaska.
