Seward is faced with the sud
den task of handling the great
est amount of freight in its his
tory under emergency condi
tions. Due to the tremendous
and ccstly fire at Whittier on
Wednesday night, about 50 per
cent of the military shipments
for the interior of Alaska, nor
mally handled through Whittier,
will now be unloaded in Sew
ard.
Military authorities are as
well aware as the people of Sew
ard that a combintion of mili
tary and civilian labor is some
times a difficult situation. It can
be contained however, with the
exercise of a little patience and
cooperation on both sides.
The greatest difficulty facing
both town and military at this
point, is not labor, but the condi
tion of the railroad between this
port and Portage.
Seward has the only dock at
which heavy equipment can be
unloaded, with aid of the equip
ment saved from the Whittier
fire, consequently such ship
ments will have to come here—
but with the deplorable condi
tion of the tracks out of Sew
ard—can it be moved to the
interior?
Both House and Senate sub
committees on appropriations
have recommended railroad re
habilitation, but in differing
a m o u n t s. This appropriation

must now be passed by the
Senate and House in Washing
ton. Whether the emergency will
be recognized is a question.
This is not the time for Sew
ardites to stop efforts to obtain
that appropriation. The Cham
ber of Commerce and many bus
inessmen have sent off wires to
Washington urging immediate
passage of the appropriation
bill. Seward will be behind the
eight ball if goods unloaded here
cannot be moved to the interior.
It is no fault of the town or
townspeople, but efforts may
be made to throw discredit upon
the town regardless.
Let’s get on the ball while it
is in motion. Send messages to
Congress in such numbers that
they will be made aware of the
situation here and pass that ap
propriation bill!

SEWARD NURSES PREPARE
FOR POLIO
Yo
Seward District No. 2, Alas
ka Nurses Association, in a
meeting Wednesday night, took
steps to prepare for a possible
onslaught of polio here. Al
though this community has es
caped the disease so far, it seems
highly probable that there may
be some incidence this year.
Eighty cases with fourteen
deaths are reported in White
horse, and six cases have shown
up in Anchorage in the last three
days. With the increased travel
and influx of workers from _
Whittier the danger of infection
is imminent.
The nurses have no wish to
cause undue alarm in Seward,
but do feel that preparedness
is the best policy. Patients will
have to be treated at home for
the most part because of cramp
ed hospital facilities. Conse
quently a supply of materials
and equipment is being gathered
together. It will be stored in the
basement of the Walter Blue
home as a receiving center.
Anyone having old wool blan
kets that can be cut up for use
as hot paks, or plastic sheeting
(plastic shower curtains and
table covers are fine) or plywood
can take such material to the
receiving center to be used if
necessary. Color of the blankets
makes no difference.
For further information con
tact Elsie Blue, LaPreal Bie or
iviartine Burdick. ,
