“God Bless You and
Be Healthy,1' Writes
Korean Orphan
A little hand-made Christmas
card, made with colored cray
ons, bearing the picture of a
church, a decorated Christmas
tree, sun. moon and stars, touch
ed the hearts of all present at
the Eastern Star meeting this
week. The card is from Han
Whang Chul, Korean orphan
chi1.1 adopted by tin Seward
Chap11 r- He is 1 i years oid.
Insicie the folded card was a
letter from the little boy:
~My Dear Sponsor:
•'How are you dear spans a-.
1 am doing weli with pleasure
every day, owing to your spon
sorship with love. I am healthy
and also g< tting grown up in
heighth more than before.
■ t will do my best to study
hard and be useiul person in the
future to please you in order
to award your gratefulness,
| "1 also hope you do love me
j forever. God may bless you and
| be healthy.
"Your loving,
Han Whang Chul.”
Han Whang Chul is in the
Sae Dol Children’s Home at
Pusan. Korea, where Americans
are caring for a large number
of war orphans. These children
can be sponsored for the small
sum of $24 per year. It is hard
to realize in this country that
a child can live on such a paltry
, sum. Anyone wishing to send
gifts to this child or any other
may do so by getting the com
plete address.
In addition to the Christmas
greeting, Han Whang Chul en
closed a snap shot of himself
and others of a basketball group.
Of this he says, “Some U.S. sol
diers taught us to play basket
ball. It's lots of fun. We wish
i we could challenge the boys and

Sees Hawks Fight
Mafemutes To The
Last Second of PScsy
By Don Dnlbsrg
Fairbanks High School cap
tured both games from a fight
ing inexperienced Sea Hawk
quintet Dec. 10 and 11 at the
Civic Center gym. 56-33 and
54 40. The experience and un
canny shooting ol the taller
Malemutes proved a little too
much for the scrappy Sea
Hawks.
The Sea Hawks worked the
ball well in both games but their
defensive play was spotty. In
the first game Fairbanks scored
several times on fast breaks with
Frank Morrison, who was high
point man for the game with 20
points, leading the way. Seward
had many good shots but was
unable to connect h>r a decent
percentage. Billy Evins with !>
points was high lor the Sea
1 lawks.
T’ne second game showed a
vastly improved Sea Hawk team
and. except lor brief periods,
fought Fairbanks to a standstill.
H< ever. 1 ? Malomut dk
played uncanny shooting ability
in this game and together with
their experience and height ad
vantage was a little t-0,3 much
for the game and scrappy SC3
Hawk five. Sharpshooting Joe
Tremarello led Fairbanks with
1!) points. Dale Lindsey, playing
a sterling game, was hign for
Seward with 14 points.
This is undoubtedly one of
Fairbanks High School's finest
teams in recent years and it is
unfortunate that more Seward
people didn't turn out for these
games to see this really fine high
school team. Considering their
lack of experience Seward per
formed admirably, especially in
the second game and Fairbanks
had to really put out to win.
Tiie crowds for the games were
disappointing and the Sea Hawks
could certainly have used more
support, and more encourage
ment from additional fans would
have helped considerably.

PANHANDLE FLYERS WIN
TWO GAMES HERE
The Panhandle Flyers of An
chorage won two games from
Seward teams iast Saturday and
Sunday. Saturday night the ex
perienced Flyers edged the Sea
Hawks 43-41 in a game that gave
the inexperienced Sea Hawks
some v a 1 u a b 1 c pointers. Al
though the Flyers could have
run up the score more, the Sew
ard Sea Hawks did play out
standing ball after the iirst quar
ter. Doc Johnson, long-shot ar
tist, put on another demonstra
tion of his long-shot wizardry
and led the Flyers with 13
points. Lindsey and Boo, with 9
points each, led the Sea Hawks.
Sunday afternoon the Flyers
defeated the Ramblers, local
City League team, in a hard
fought game 43-41. Deller led the
Flyers in this game with 14
points and Donnie Sanders was
high for the Ramblers with 12
points. Ray Anderson scored 9
and Gene Thorne, 8.
