WHOSE YOUNGSTERS ARE
PLAYING ON THE DOCK?
The danger of little tots play
ing on the dock was brought
up for discussion at the last
meeting of Junior Women’s Club
held Tuesday evening in the
Episcopal Church basement. The
young mothers of the club were
quite concerned with the num
ber of little fallows allowed to
play on the shore and the ap
proach to the dock. Some long
shoremen seemed to feel it was
all right, as the youngsters play
there all the time; however, it
was felt that the parents must
not realize the danger the chil
dren are in on the water's edge.
Most Seward residents remem
ber when a few years ago a
three-year old boy fell in the
water and was carried out into
the bay by the strong current.
A few other items w. re
brought up before the business
meeting was adjourned for a
social evening of cards. Hostess
es were Mrs. Thelma Tide, Mrs.
Dorothy Hansen, and Mrs. Jean
nine Manion.

which possesses some interest as
being a place at which attempts
at agriculture and stock-raising
have met with considerable suc
cess. The cattle are of the small
Siberian breed, and have done
fairly well. Enough vegetables,
such as the potato and turnip,
are raised, not only to supply
home wants, but to allow of lim
ited sales to traders.’’ — W. R.

PAT'S GARAGE INSTALLS
MECHANICAL TESTER
Every time Pat Friede goes
Outside he comes back with
some new device for time saving.
Just installed in the garage is
the first electrical motor tester
to arrive in this part of Alaska.
The Sun Motor Tester looks like
an x-ray machine. It diagnoses
motor troubles in any engine. A
turn of the dials indicates car
buretor, horse power ratio, gen
erator, fuel consumption, etc.,
saving hours of testing and spec
ulation on the part of a me
chanic.
Another machine just install
ed is a parts washer, which like
a cloth e s washing machine,
cleans parts in a very short time.
The new paint mix matcher
mixes as little as two ounces,
•or will mix gallons of paint to
a perfect match for any car.
These machines are causing
much interest among car owners
who have not seen such devices
before.
