Ray Appointed Head
Defense Day Test
Gov. Parks Issues First Proclama
tion, Appointing L. V. Ray of Sew
ard, Chairman of Defense Day
Program To Run In Conjunction
with Fourth of July Celebration.
L. V. Ray, mayor of Seward, has
been appointed chairman of the Sew
ard Defense Day program, to be held
on the Fourth of July in conjunction
with the big celebration. The ap
pointment was received yesterday
from Governor George A. Parks at
the capital, and is the first official
public proclamation issued by the
new' governor. The community re
ferred to in the telegram is Valdez,
where both Mr. R. E. Robertson of
Juneau and Mr. Ray attended and
spoke at last year’s meeting, Captain
Parsons and the Signal Corps men
took charge of the Defense Day pro
gram, and brought forth an astounding
showing of enlistments for Valdez.
It has been suggested that booths
for various branches of the service
be installed on the Fourth of July,
giving the citizens an opportunity to
enroll and renew their allegiance to
the flag and country. That prizes
should be awarded to the booth pro
ducing the largest number of recruits
has been set. Much enthusiasm is
manifest at the recruiting booths, it
is stated, and the novelty of the citi
zens of the community enlisting for
service in various branches of the
government, is one that appeals to
all.
James S. Bogart, commander of the
Seward American Legion post has
been appointed by the general chair
man, Elwyn Swetmann of the 4th
of July committees, as a member of
the Defense Day committee, assur
ing a commendable program, in con
nection with the celebration which
has been perfected.
Governor Parks’ telegraphic proc
lamation follows:
PROCLAMATION
Juneau, Alaska, June 16, 1925.
L. V. RAY, Mayor,
Seward, Alaska.
On request of the Command
ing General of the Ninth Corps
Area, San Francisco, Mr. R. E.
Robertson of Juneau has been
designated as Chairman of the
Territorial Central Mobilization
committee for Defense Day Test
on the Fourth of July, and at his
request you are appointed local
chairman of Seward and vicinity
with authority to select a local
committee.
Suggest that the committee ar
range to conduct its mobilization
plan as part of the usual 4th
of July celebration. The follow
ing plan proved successful in one
community last year. Enlist
ments in the army, navy, marine
corps and the American Red
Cross units were made competi
tive and recruits were urged to
join at the close of the program.
Each unit was represented by a
recruiting officer in uniform and
the enthusiasm thus aroused ex
pedited and stimulated the re
cruiting.
Further instructions regarding
reports will be forwarded later.
These reports are sent to Wash
ington, and last year Alaska
made an excellent record. It is
hoped that this year's record
will excel that of last year. This
is possible if every community
will take an active interest. The

CORDOVA FAMILY
ENJOY OUTING
THIS DISTRICT
“Never had so much fun since I
was a kid,” remarked Jules B. Dahl
agher, in describing his trip to An
chorage where he has been spending
the last two weeks on jury duty and
on the side, taking a jaunt to the
surrounding vicinity, fishing, boating,
and motoring. Mrs. Dahlagher and
two children accompanied Jules on
the trip over, all returning to Sew
ard last evening to remain here un
til Sunday when they take passage
south on the steamer Alaska for their
home at Cordova. Mr. Dahlagher is
foreman for the Cordova Times Pub
lishing plant, a position he has held
for a number of years. And to his
credit, it must besaid, he ranks
among the top in Alaska in his par
ticular craft.
This morning the happy family mo
tored out to Bear creek where they
will camp for two days, in order
that the family, all loyal followers
of Isaac Waltons craft, may fish to
their hearts’ content. “The fishing
is fine over in the Copper River sec
| lion,” Jules said this morning, “but
‘gee whiz,’ this country is the limit.
Sure would like to take in that Rus
sian river country while I am here,
but am afraid the boss would have
stand for an extra long absence.”
The Dahlaghers have enjoyed their
brief vacation, for they consider it
such, and hope to return for a long
er stay next summer. A year ago,
Mr. Dahlagher thought he would
move back to the States, but just a
few months living out there firmly
convinced him that Alaska could
not be beaten so he is back this
time to stay. He has purchased a
fine home and farm at Cordova. Dur
ing his off hours, which are few, he
dabbles in art and according to
those fortunate to have seen sam
ples of his work, his skillful tech
nique is far from amateuristic.
Cheechako Called
Father s Bedside
C. A. Carlson, a cheechako, who ar
rived in Seward three months ago
from California and, since his ar
rival has been over in Anchorage,
passed thru Seward Tuesday en |
route to St. Paul where he has been
called owing to the serious illness
of his father, proprietor of a large
department store.
The young man gained 20 pounds
during his short stay in the Terri
tory and he looks forward with
much pleasure in his return, which
he hopes will be this fall. On his
return he stated he thought he would
reside in Seward, as he likes the
looks of the town and there appears
to be ample work.
The dance at the Dreamland hall
last night was enjoyed and patron
ized by a good many couples who
danced to the harmony of Andy’s or
chestra, until a late hour.
Fishes and men usually get caught
through not keeping their mouths
shut.
