Freight movement up the Kusko
kwim river is heavier this year
than for years, indicating a gen

of the catch is reported from all
parts of Alaska, said H. W. Ter-,
hune, Executive Officer of the Al
aska Game Commission, who has.
! just completed an official trip thru
[Alaska. The 1933 take, he said, is
I probably 20 per cent larger than

EVERYONE SHOULD
BE SIGNED UP FOR
INSURANCE PLAN
i
Would you think of owning a
$100,000 home without fire insur
ance if you knew that the home was
subjected to daily fire hazards?
Certainly not, if you could get fire
insurance at a rate commensurate
with the protection given you.
Would you pay $20 yearly to insure
yourself and members of your fam
ily medical protection?
The Seward Community Health
Insurance plan has been designed
to provide low-cost medical insur
ance to its subscribers for an en
tire year at $20, provided a suf
ficient number of members sign up.
At the present time not quite
enough signatures have been re
received to warrant the initiation of
the Health Insurance plan, say of
ficials, and unless more persons
can see the certain advantages of
subscribing to this low-cost medi
cal insurance plan, the plan will
have to be abandoned.
The officials in charge of the
health insurance plan hope, how
ever, that many more persons, who
have not thought seriously about
the benefits of having health in
surance, wrill do so now and sub-i
scribe immediately to the health;
insurance plan.
For further details about thej
many services that will be given to'
the insured under the Seward Com- !
munity Health insurance, interest- j
ed persons shoudl see either Dr-!
A. D. Haverstock, Harold Sogn orj
Attorney E. P. Harwood. If a per- 1
son lives out of town a letter ad
dressed to either of the named per
sons will bring all the details. Re
garding the $20 yearly due this
sum can be paid in installments
provided arrangements are made
with the Health Insurance Plan
board.
The list will be closed in three or
four more days and upon the num
ber of signatures obtained will de
pend the continuance of the In
surance plan. It will be to the in
terest of those who have already
seen the advantage of such a plan,
if they will tell their friends of
the advantage of being insured as
it may be their friend’s signature
a success and will be carried out
that will see to it that the plan is1
for the protection of all signatories.!
Many new homes are under con- j ■
struction at Anchorage as well as j
a vast number of improvements to!
other buildings. The city now has!
a piledriver building a city dock,
off Chester Creek.
