Memorial Library
Growing Steadily
Mrs. Elsie Whitmore, librari
an, writes an interesting report
this month describing new books
in the Seward Community Li
brary.
Thirteen new books have been
added to the Memorial Shelf,
bringing the total of new books
purchased from this money to
21. “This may seem slow to the
public,” Mrs. Whitmore com
ments, “but since we are trying
to got the collection in library
editions (permanent bindings) it
takes more time to collect
them.” Titles just arrived are:
Frispey Summer; Barbary Pi
rates; Fun for Young Collectors;
The Borrowers; All About Vol
canoes and Earthquakes; Fast is
Not a Ladybug; Thomas Jeffer
son John Paul Jones; All About
the Weather; Adventures and
Discoveries of Marco Polo; Gol
den Book of Trains; George
Washington Carver; and Reptiles
and Amphibians.

• Serving the Heartland of Alaska Since 1934 •
are mostly non fiction. There
are two biographies, Labrador
Nurse by Banfill and Period
Piece by Eaverat. Nuclear Phys
ics by Heisenberg, is written for
the laymen without any mathe
matics and is easily understood.
The Social Insects by . Richards
tells about bees and wasps in a
very interesting way.
Between Pacific Tides by
Ricketts is, Mrs. Whitmore says,
the best book she has ever seen
describing marine life as one
finds it, and is especially useful
in identifying shells. Scott’s
Standard Stamp Catalog, Vols.
1 and 2 combined is a boon to
stamp collectors. The Dictionary
of words and origins is most in
teresting to the word builder.
Another interesting book is
Bonanza Trail by Wolle. It is
about ghost towns in the old
west as they are today and were
yesterday. Other subjects are
also represented on the new
book shelf in the library.
During January 478 books
were loaned and 22 new cards
purchased. This is a community
library for the use of everybody
in Seward.

THIRD DIVISION NOT TO GET
ADDITIONAL JUDGE
Hope for a second federal
judge for the Third Division in
Alaska was killed this week
when congressional action was
completed: on the omnibus judge
ship bill creating a number of
permanent and temporary judge
ships throughout the country.
Last year in passing the bill
the Senate authorized 28 addi
tional permanent district judges,
including one for Alaska, but the
House struck from the bill nine
of the judgeships, including the
proposed Alaska judgeship. The
conference report between the
two houses passed this week and
sent to the President increased
that number from 19 to 21.
The House conferees were
Congressmen Edgar A. Jones of
Illinois and Usher L. Burdick of
North Dakota, and the conferees
from the upper house were Sen
ators Pat McCarran of Nevada,
Arthur V. Watkins of Utah, and
Herman Welker of Idaho.
MANY TOP STARS AT
LOCAL CINEMA THIS WEEK
Among the top stars appearing
at the Liberty Theatre this week
are Gregory Peck, James Stew
art, Janet Leigh, Robert Ryan,
Ralph Meeker, George Montgom
ery, Randolph Scott, and Charles
Laughton.
Also being shown is the very
unusual film, "The Miracle of
Fatima.

How to get more heat
from pot-type oil burners
For the greatest effi
ciency and economy
from your “circulating
heaters,” use Standard
Stove Oil. It is a com
pletely distilled fuel
that is specially made
for “vaporizing” pot-type burners. Standard
Stove Oil lights easily, vaporizes completely—
bums without waste or troublesome soot.
For pressure type burners, use Standard
Furnace Oil. Order the Standard Heating Oil
you need today.
