hunting jobs—on shore—in Ko
diak last week, in an attempt tc
earn boat fare back to Seattle
They’d just been rescued from an
attempted salvage operation of a
fishing boat they lost earlier this
reason. In the salvage operation,
the fishermen lost their second
boat, and $500 in bills which one
of them had carried in his pocket.
So the pair are short (1) the
Della I, (b) their salvage ship, the
Della II, (c) $500, (d) all their
clothing, which went down with
the Della II, and (e) an occupa:
tion. They’ve decided to give up
fishing.

By $26,900 in 1950
The city of Seward did a better
job of exceeding its budget in the
past year, than does many a new
bride. The city council has found
the total amount over the esti
mated budget to be $26,904.01.
Five departments, among them
the police, fire, street, garbage
disposal and city clerk’s office,
all spent more money than was
allotted to them for the current
year.
The council was budgeting agair

Draft Board Will Get
You, Even if National
Guard Has You First
Enlistment in the National
Guard is not “draft insurance,”
John L. McCormick, territorial
director of Selective Service, an
nounced this week. Mr. McCor
mick said young men without
previous military service who join
the National Guard now still are
subject to the draft.
“Any youth, between the ages
of 19 and 25, inclusive, who joined
the Guard since June 24, 1948,
may be called up the same as any
civilian,” the Selective Service
head asserted.
Mr. McCormick said recent ru
mor gives the erroneous impres
sion that a member of the Na
tional Guard is “safer” from in
duction.
Teach your children to be
safety-minded. Otherwise they
will have to learn the hard, dan
gerous way.
The worst calamity that can
happen to an individual in this
life is not knowing when to be
satisfied.
