picture family for two careers and
peace and happiness. This, in ef

In announcing her retirement
from the screen and the coveted
position of stardom, the glorious
Hungarian blonde set at rest all

and Rod LaRocque.

fill CHIEF VOICES
L COOPERATION
Maj. Malcolm Elliott, President
of the Alaska Road Commission,
a visitor here for the past few
days on official business, left to
day for Anchorage, accompanied
by Lieut. R. B. Oxreider who has
been assigned to the Anchorage
district and will make his head
quarters in the railroad center for
the summer.
Yesterday, both were guests at
the Seward Chamber of Commerce
luncheon and both addressed the
attendance.
It is believed that Major El
liott will return Friday on his way
south to his Juneau headquarters.
Later in the season he will cover
practically all Interior district, in
specting roads and trails and ex
amining projects suggested for fu
ture approval by the Commission.
Two Southeast Alaska River and
Harbor improvement projects are
cared for in the current River and
Harbor measure; these are the
Thomas Basin, mall boat harbor
at Ketchikan, and the Port Alex
ander improvement project. These
two items were said to be the first
and oldest in the Alaska program;
others were stricken for this year.
Among these was the proposed
Seward breakwater for the pro
tection of small craft. President
Hoover’s policy of economy, ac
cording to a letter received here,
necessitated the elimination of
many proposed projects the en
tire nation. However, the letter
also gave the information that
the Seward project now heads the
Alaska list.
In his talk before the local or
ganization Major Elliott said their
is every indication that the so
called “cut-off’ road will be built.
Such work would connect up the
Seward-Kenai Lake Highway with
the Moose Pass Highway. These
roads were constructed and are
being maintained by the Bureau
of Public Roads.
Major Elliott stated that he
could hardly conclude his remarks
without voicing his appreciation
of the recent splendid cooperation
from the people of Seward is
coming forward with financial aid
for the publicity end of the pro
posed International Highway pro
ject,
L. J. Chilberg, new Seward Cus
toms officer, was also a guest of
the Chamber and made a brief
speech.
