DOUBLE WEDDING IN
SUNDAY EKE
UNITED POM FOLK
Quietly, with no guests present,
two young couples were wed Sun
day evening at the Methodist-Epis
copal parsonage when Rev. E. E.
Reisner united in marriage Miss
Edna Nelson and Mr. Lawrence
Bucey. Miss Georgia Willis and
Mr. John Nelson, Jr. The ceremo
nies were performed at 9 o'clock,
the two couples acting as witness
es for each other.
Before anyone learned of the
event, the newlyweds started on
their honeymoon trip to Lawing
where they will remain until
Thursday.
Mrs. Bucey, long a resident of
Seward with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. John A. Nelson, was a mem
ber of the Senior Class of the Sew
ard High School until her marriage,
and Mrs. Nelson, before her resi
dence in Seward of the past few
months, had made her home at
Anchorage and Moose Pass with
her parents.
The young men are among Sew
ard’s most likeable, both having
been employed here for some time,
Mr. Nelson as an employee of the
firm of Brown & Hawkons Corps.,
and Mr. Bucey, until a few weeks
ago, as a member of the U. S. S.
Signal Corps at Seward and Cordo
va.
The Gateway joins with the
couples large number of friends,
in extending congratulations and
wishing them every success.
The Anchorage Alaska Railroad
shops are now on winter working
schedule. Saturday afternoon will
see cessation of work and on oth
er days the hours are from 8:30 a.
m. to 4:30 p. m.

The Editor, Seward Gateway:
Sir—“I have noted and read in a
late issue of your paper, concern
ing a recent political speech by
Candidate Wickersham, an article
signed, “Seward Booster.” Though
this article was probably inspired
by the best intent, it leaves a
wrong impression, which I wish to
correct. It leaves the impression
that I contributed the plane in j
which Tony Dimond made his
campaign trip to the Westward.
That impression is wrong.
“Evidently the author of the ar
ticle is not well acquainted with
Mr. Wickersham or he would not
have accepted the assumption that
the ‘dirt’ which Mr. Wickersham
intimated in his speech were true.
I regret to say that I did not con
tribute the use of the plane. Tony
paid a fair price for the use of it,
and I, for one, have got a good
laugh out of Mr. Wickersham’s
awkward efforts to make political
stock out of such a trifle. I marvel
at such a lack of constructive ideas.
“I regret that I did not contrib
ute the plane and so do my small
part to aid Tony’s candidacy. It is
one good idea that Mr. Wicker
sham has supplied, and when Tony
is up for re-election I hope that
he will give me the chance to fly
him around. I would consider it a
great honor to do so.
‘‘At heart and by training I am
a Republican, but there is so much
trash to be found in political office
that when a man of Tony Dim
on d’s caliber steps into the ring,
I know no party but his party, and
acknowledge no allegiance but to
him. If Tony should get just one
vote in this election that vote will
be mine.”
Yours very truly, W. E. Dunkle.

WORKING SEASON POO
TOE OSS DISCOVERER IS
PRACTICALLY FINISHED
Her working season in this area
almost completed, the USS Discov
erer, of the U. S. Coast and Geo
detic Survey, Lt. Cmdr. H. B
Campbell, commanding, arrived in
port early Sunday morning for
supplies and fuel. Three days of
work surveying in Resurrection
Bay remain to be done and then
the Discoverer will take a last look
at Seward and set her course
southward.
It is possible that a few days of
work may yet be done in the vicin
ity of Afognak Island, weather per
mitting, but with its conclusion the
Coast Survey’s northern season will
draw tc a close.
The motorship Westdahl, which
used Kodiak for her base this year,
although attached to the Discov
erer, still is on the working ground
near Afognak Island, waiting the
return of the Discoverer and final
dispatching southward. The West
dahl, usually towed south by the
Discoverer, will proceed alone as
far as Ketchikan.
The Discoverer, doughty seagoer,
will take up a sounding line south
west of Kodiak Island and follow
it across the Gulf of Alaska to
Dixon Entrance, to obtain depth
records for the International Fish
eries Commission.
The areas surveyed this year by
the Discoverer include the region
Westward of Afognak and Shuyak
Islands, north of Kodiak Island, in
Marmot Strait and to seaward from
Marmot Island.
Notable this year in the Discov
erer’s work was 1,927 miles of radio
founding to southward of the Port
lock Bank, 30 to 90 miles at sea.
This is the most radio-acoustic
ranging work, or R.-A. R. that has
been done in Alaska so far, the
only other R. A. R., being some
that was done by the USS Survey
or several years ago. This meth
od of sounding is particularly use
ful where it is impossible for the
ship to get land-sights. Work in
darkness, rain, and fog was accom
plished with as much ease as in
clearest weather. Two shore radio
stations were established—one on
Marmot Island and the other on
Chiniak Cape—'for this purpose.
The 1,927 miles of sounding re
quired the explosion of 565 TNT
bombs, and about 14 working days.
It is not determined yet wheth
er the Discoverer will return to
Alaska next season for survey
work. It is possible she may be as
