AIR FLIVER COMING
c
F
Within five years a business man living in a sub- c
urb may board his one-passenger air flivver, fly to h
Seward and alight on his office roof. Returning at
night he may land in his own yard with ease and safety, s
Such is the prediction of conservative pilots and en
gineers.
This may happen in less than five years if plans for
the commercial manufacture of a new machine called |
the autogyro are carried out. Invented by Juan de la ?
Cierva, a Spaniard, the autogyro is fitted with an or
dinary airplane motor and propellor. but in addition
has revolving wings in a sort of windmill arrangement
which enables it to sustain itself in the air at slow
speed, thus permitting it to rise or land in the space of
an ordinary tennis court. *
With the Soviet plane in mind it seems no trick at i
all now to fly the ocean but it must take a fast worker J
and a strong constitution to dodge the gang after you J
get there. However, some of them don’t care to duck. \\
They just grin and bear it. ,
Tony Strom, well known local
canneryman, received his final
citizenship papers last Monday,
and, according to Cal M. Brosius,
Seward lumber and building mat
erial dealer who accompanied
him to Valdez as a witness, a
mighty happy man is Tony. H.;
O. Rberts, superintendent of
the Uganik plant, was Strom’s
second witness. Both Strom and
Roberts continued on to Seattle,
Mr. Brosius returning home on
the S. S. Yukon, Saturday.
The party was particularly
pleased and highly appreciated
the courtesy extended them by
Judge E. Coke Hill, and his staff,
for upon arriving at Valdez they
were met at the dock, driven to
the court house, then taken into
the court room where Judge Hill
seemed to be awaiting them. Not
a moment was lost and following
Strom’s appearance before him,
papers were granted, all in
ample time to catch the same x
steamer, the S. S. Alameda, out.
“And if that isn’t fine service
I’ll eat your hat,” vouchsafed

The cinders, which have been
scattered ?<bout the front and
walk at the school, has added
considerable to tne appearance
of the grounds which have been
partly leveled.
Saturday night’s and yester
day’s storm brought gladness to
the average Scandinavian’s heart,
if what the Cub reporter says is
true.
ALWAYS A FIRST TIME I
The first fresh srow of the r
year fell Saturday night in the I
mountains and awoke many to £
the fact winter is nigh here. To J
others it brought realization of I*
the time honored query, “What 1
became of the summer’s wages?’’ 1

HENCE IN UPROAR !i
Seward vaudeville fans enjoyed a e
short one-man program Saturday
evening when Harry C. Willis, \
formerly of the Pantages circuit, I
presented a few acts after the reg- I
ular program at the Liberty thea- \
tre. £
The feature of the program, j
which was filed with a variety of F
novel songs, clog dances, jokes and
impersonations, was the ventrilo
quisim number. Here Mr. Willis
showed his ability as a really versa
tile ventriloquist, for he kept the *■
audience laughing thruout the per- 1
formance. Such an act has rarely
made its appearance here, and an
other success was thus added those i
given in Fairbanks and Anchorage, j
Mr. Willis left on the steamer s
Yukon for Cordova, where he was
booked for an appearance, he then
appears in Southeastern Alaska. It j
is hoped he may be able to present
another of his entertaining acts
when he next returns to the Ter
ritory, which he states he hopes to g
do in the near future.
