Norman Noble of Kodiak, holding
ticket No. 149, was awarded the $350
radio set which was given away last
evening by the S. A. C. and the local
Fire Department.
Promptly following the showing of
the comedy film at the Liberty thea
tre, M. E. Horner, chairman of the
Holiday Club committee, appeared
upon the stage and in a brief address
informed the large audience of the
procedure of the drawing, explaining
that after ten tickets were drawn the
eleventh ticket would be the prize
winner, and providing that after 60
days the radio was unclaimed, another
drawing would be held similar to the
one last night. The drawing then
proceeded, with the assistance of Myr
tle Morton, who was chosen to to
draw the cards. While the tickets
were slowly counted off, the theatre
was so quiet one could have heard a
pin drop.
Norman Noble is employed by W. J.
Erskine in the large Kodiak mercan
tile establishment. He is very well
known in Seward and his many friends
here are certain he will greatly ap
preciate his machine.
The first ten numbers drawn were
Nos. 49, 500, 239, 252, 38, 251, 358, 416,
175 and 52.

NEW 1 Mill SERVICE
MEETS LOME APPROVAL
As a result of the brief publicity
given in the Gateway a few weeks
ago regarding the new air postal
rates, Charles Sheldon, local post
master, stated yesterday that many
Seward citizens have taken advantage j
of it. A letter marked “via air mail,” |
mailed in Seward, will, upon its ar-j
rival at Seattle, be whisked to its
destination via airplanes. Days are
saved in reaching the eastern portion
of the United States.
