MAYOR EXTENDS WELCOME
In behalf of the citizens of Seward, Mayor P. C. Me ;
Mullen desires to extend a hearty welcome to the twenty
Washington, D. C., federal employes, who arrived in the
city last evening from the Interior.
These folk comprising the party belong to the rank
and file and their Alaska trip is their method of spend
ing their well-earned annual vacation. That they have
evidenced a desire to visit Alaska is sufficient for us to
know that they are interested in Alaska; for which we
thank them.
Advance reports from the Soviet plane has it that
Sewardites will recognize it by the crew's whiskers.
Hoover’s law enforcement commission has its work
cut out. Why not start with Philadelphia and then j
Chicago and if not exhausted take in the rest of the
country.
Helmar Petropolis, prominent Seward resident, has
consented to interview the Russians, for the Gateway,
upon their arrival in the plane “Land of Soviet.” Hel
mar speaks 13 languages fluidly.
BIG VAUDEVILLE SCI
JT LIBERTY TONIGHT
The kind of program which
Seward enjoys but sees only once
in a great while will be present
ed tonight at the Liberty Theater,
when Harry C. Willis will give
a vaudeville act at about 8:30, to
last at least half an hour.
Mr. Willis is a versatile ventril
oquist, late of the Pantages cir
cuit, who has traveled in almost
every cuntry including the Orient,
and the American and British
possessions. Hk himself is an
Australian and was born in Mel
bourne. He is in Alaska now on
a contract with Captain Lathrop
and has just concluded an ex
tremely successful season in both
Fairbanks and Anchorage. Un
fortunately, owing to previous
booking for Cordova, Mr. Willis
will be able to remain in Seward
for one night only.
Mr. Willis states that his trip
through Alaska and his visits
in the various towns have been
very delightful, and, this being
his first trip up here, he has i
eaten almost every kind of wild i
animal meat edible, including
mountain goat. In fact, he feels
so peppy, he confides his belief
he must have also eaten some
goat glands.
Seward folks are urged not to
forget the time of presentation
of Mr. Willis’ novel act for it
will be given only once, and those
who do not see it will be miss
ing something.
CHOIR POSTPONED
Choir practice of the Episcopal
Church has been postponed to
next Friday, September 20.
