George King, Jr., of Seldovia, is;
a patient in the Seward General,
Hospital.
But even the walls of a hospital
are not impervious to Santa Claus
for read what the Boy Scouts of
the little fishing village on Cook
Inlet did that George might know
that he belongs to an organization
which upholds the highest tradi- i
tions of comeraderie, and that hisj
Christmas might not fall short ofj
the more fortunate of his fellows:
Seldovia, Alaska, i
Dec. 22, 1931.
“Mr. Swetmann,
“Seward, Alaska.
“Dear Sir:
“I am sending herein a money
order for the amount of $8.00, which
our Cub scouts would like to have
credited to the account you have
for George King, who is a patient
in the Seward General Hospital,
j “This amount represents the sav
{ings of nickels and dimes by the
| boys of the Cub Scout Troop, of
| which George is a member. About
j a month ago the boys started sav
I ing their extra pennies to help pay
I the medical bills for their friend
I George, and decided to send their
earnings to you, for we all know
! that George’s bill for medicines
| amounts to considerable,
j “While the amount is not great,
I’m sure George, as well as your
self, will appreciate this effort and
desire on the part of the boys to
help out in this way. Money that
might have been spent for candy
was dropped in the bank “for
Georgie.” Some boys stayed home
from the show so they might put
in the price of their ticket for
Georgie; others added their earn
ings from the running of errands,
etc. There has been a keen inter
est in the bank account and its
increased amount. The boys are
all anxious for George to be well
and able to return home . . .
“Respectfully yours,
“ALLAN L. PETERSEN,
"Seldovia Cub Scout Master.”

basketball team which was sup

NEW YORK, Dec., 26, (a5)—The
scene of the battle of the century,
the Culbertson-Lenz bridge battle
has been shifted from the Culbert

Cubertson rooms and then in the
Lenz apartment was a part of the
original contract.
The . Culbertsons, exponents of
the so-called approach forcing sys
tem, were still in the lead Wednes
day evening at the end of the 85th
rubber with a lead of 13,795 points.
The bridge contest was postponed
