GIVE US BASKETBALL NOW
There seems to be dissention among local basketball play
* ers and fans.
Apparently everything hinges onto the Fairbanks
games.
One group of local men figure the team to represent
Seward in the proposed games with the College in Fair
banks, has already been selected, and if not favorites will
be played.
This is not so!
But on the other hand it was decided at the last S. A.
C. meeting that in order to have harmony better disband
the Seward three-corner league until after the College
games.
This was done!
Fine, for the six men who go to Fairbanks.*
But not so fine for the members of the S. A- C., the
local fans and other members of the league, all of whom
support the S. A. C. morally and financially.
x If the college games are going to spoil local games we
say cut out the college series.
Inter-city games are great. We have always given
them our support but the Old Home Town comes first
always.
Four hundred dollars is a lot of money to pay a visit
ing team. Seward is still a small town. That same $400
would help a lot in furthering local sport and entertain
ment for the S. A. C.
Everybody’s fun is being stopped under the present
arrangement. ,
Seward fans want to see the Army, City and Hign
school boys play basketball. And all the members of
these teams want to play now, not after New Year.
Give us a game a week!
CAN HE DO IT?
Associated Press dispatches today from Seattle repoit
Noel Smith, manager of the railroad, proposes to use
his influence in having the Bureau of Education head
quarters moved from Seattle to Anchorage. .
Getting down to brass tacks one has to admire the
“Go-get-em-spirit” of Anchorage. They are out for
everything. Whether or not Smith is showing favoritism
we do not know; at times we have had our suspicions.. In
the meantime he has the benefit of the doubt. Fair-mind
ed folk will admit he has a tough job.
All Seward wants is a square deal; nothing more.
From a missionary in the Solomon Islands comes
word of the sad plight of the natives, with suggestions for
their relief. He writes: “Our small force of brethren
are unable to cope with the distress which prevails m this
benighted land of cannibak Many natives are starving.
Please send a few more missionaries.”

LOCAL DRIVE WILL BE HELD ON
FRIDAY; PUBLIC’S SUPPORT
IS SOLICITED
To give a brief account of the im
J
mense size of the American Red
Cross, and the work it is performing,
j T. R. McEwen, chairman of the local
| Chapter, states: “In close co-opera
tion with governmental activities it j
i is rendering advice and aid to more |
than 73,000 disabled ex-service men
land their families each month. It
i serves along a hundred lines the
quarter of a million soldiers, sailors
and marines now' in active service,
i “It maintains an enrolled reserve of
44,000 Red Cross nurses ready for in
j stant duty in time of emergency. It
employs 806 Public Health nurses to
safeguard community health. Dur
ing the past year it has given instruc
: tion in Home Hygiene and Care of the
| Sick to 67,000 women and girls. In
its steady war to reduce unnecessary
deaths from drowning and accident,
the Red Cross has trained 31,000 per
Isons in water safety and life saving
j and issued Fiirst Aid certificates to
’ 19,000 who have completed the stan
I
dard course.
“More than 5,000,000 children enroll
ed in the Junior Red Cross are being
taught the value of unselfish service.
Thousands of loyal volunteers are pro
ducing surgical dressing and garments
and transcribing hundreds of pages
j of Braille, so that the blind may read
with their fingers.
! “All thi3 goes on steadily. There
is no furor over it. It is just the day’s
work.
“It would be well to recall a few of
these facts when on Thursday volun
teer workers call on you.”, Mr. Mc
Ewen said in conclusion.

I
JUDfE CLEGG IDE
DECISION WHICH WHS
The Circuit Court of Appeals at San
Francisco handed down a decision
“ some days ago reversing the judge
ment of Judge Cecil H. Clegg at tair
• banks, rendered in favor of the de
; fendant last winter in a case brought
by the Territory against the First Nat
ional Bank of Fairbanks.
Additional details connected with
, the case and published in the Umpire
’ ! are to the effect statutes enacted by
• i
1 the legislature provided that the vari
■ jous banks in the Territory should dis
' ! close “dead accounts” to the Attorney
General to enable the latter to insti
tute escheat proceedings.
Judge Clegg, without filing *n
‘ opinion in effect, held that the Terri
■ tory had no jurisdiction over escheat
J ed estates in the first place, and in the
2 second place that it had no jurisdic
2 tion over National Banks.
i It is evident that the Court of Ap
i peals, in reversing Judge Clegg, sus
■ tained the validity of the Territorial
1 statues, restores the writ demanding
2 that accounts be disclosed and clears
2 the way for completion of the litiga
2 tion.
| Attorney General Rustgard appeared
i for the Territory, and John A. Clark
i of Fairbanks, and Lyons & Orton of
* Seattle, appeared for the bank, The
1 case was submitted by both sfdes on
