P-TA ELECTS OFFICERS
AT FIRST MEETING
The Seward P TA held its
first meeting of the school year
Saturday evening. The follow
ing officers were elected: Leon
Lewis, president; Carl Carlson,
vice president; Ann Jeffrey, sec
retary, and Ben Franmpton,
treasurer.
In response to the many in
quiries made on the tennis courts
it was reported that sufficient
funds were available for one
double court and that the land
had been surveyed. It must be
leveled, however, before the ce
ment can be poured. The city has
promised its equipment for this
purpose, but to date their serv
ices have not been forthcoming.
A membership drive is to be
initiated with Mrs. Schaefcmeir,
Mrs. Phillips, Miss Busko, and
Airs. Lambert serving on the
committee. It is hoped that all
parents will be contacted.
Judging from the attendance
at this first meeting, there will
be many active members this
year. Entertainment and refresh
ments are being planned for each
meeting.

ONE OF OUR BOYS IS
MISSING
By Carl R. Carlson
One of our boys is missing.
He's gone and he won’t return.
His locker stands unopened in.
our high school corridor, and
he will not use the chairs again
that he has been occupying in
•our classrooms. We graduate
classes from our high school and
miss those who have gone forth
from us through graduation. We
are glad to have them come
around to see us now and then.
But this isn't like that. This
boy’s gone and will never re
turn.
Willard Mahurin came to Sew
ard just a short year ago. During
that year we have learned to
know him and to like him. His
problems were our problems;
his successes gave us a sense of
accomplishment: his disappoint
ments and failures made us feel
bad; his ambitions made us feel
alive and worth while, and his
aspirations gave us hope in the
younger generation. As with all
good and conscientious students,
we liked to have him in our
classes, and as a clean-cut, like
able chap we liked to have him
around. But now lie’s gone, and
we feel a void because lie’s not
here. We wish we could have
him back again, but know we
can’t. He’s left us forever: we
won’t see him any more.
TANNING
Send us your furs and skins to
be tanned. Quick, efficient, re
liable workmanship. We return
your finished skins immediately.

FIRE DAMAGES BUILDING
AT M-O-H ROAD CAMP
The* old machine shop at the
Manson Osberg, Halverson Road
Camp at Mile 20 was partially
destroyed by fire at 5 a.m. Fri
day.
Marshal Irwin Metcalf, on ids
way back to town from Moose
Pass, was passing the camp when
he saw fire. Just at that time he
was flagged down by two work
men who were seeking help to
fight the blaze. The Marshal
turned back to the Ranger Sta
tion and section house at Lake
view. Crews were turned out at
both places to lend aid, the Mar
shall slated.
Luckily the blaze started in
the western end of the building,
Mr. Metcalfe said, because th
wind was blowing at hurricane
velocity from the northeast.

Had the fire been on the other
side, the building would have
been a total loss. As it is, the
roof and part of the superstruc
ture was burned. No tools or
equipment were lost.
The wind and rain were so
bad that driving was dificult and
several large trees were uproot
ed, falling across the road. It
was necessary to get a truck and
chains to clear the highway to
traffic. Drivers all day Friday re
ported the road to Mile 50 in
bad condition, and driving haz
ardous.
