Now is the time that fires are caused
by ~householders attempting to thaw
out service pipes by burning oil-soaked
rags and using other ill-advised meth

to restore an ice-clogged pipe to serv-
Ice is to wrap it with cloth and pour
hot water upon it, or, if the freezing

the best plan is to SEND for q plumber.

SPRUCE
 SUPPLY SHORT:
 SITUATION ACUTE
Northwest, Chief Source Fails Because of Strikes
 and Inefficient Labor

Another acute situation faces the American government; scar city of spruce for airplane build ing. One hundred and fifty million feet is needed at home at once; ally contracts for Septem- Der called for 69,O00,O00 feet, and the spruce is not ready. The logs are not being put in the water and the coming of winter diminishes the chances for in- creased output. Strikes, in- efficient labor, and the peculiar difficulties of obtaining spruce are forcing an issue. Because the Northwest produces almost all of the country's spruce the problem hinges here.
 The necessity of airplanes to to win the war is generally con ceded and the United States government must supply the spruce.
 Resolutions urging that the government not only refrain from drafting skilled woodsmen and mill laborers into the army, but that labor be enlisted from other parts of the country for getting out spruce in the North west were voted by the Western Forestry and Conservation asso- citation which met in Seattle two weeks ago. Men are even now being recruited from American lake to help get out spruce.
 Only about fifteen per cent of a log can be used for airplane timber. The trees do not grow in exclusive stands, and logging out becomes more difficult and more expensive than with other timber.
 Fir is being tried out as a sub- stitute, but this supply is also limited.

DR. PIGG AND
 PANTY LEAVING
 FOR THE STATES
Another Wrangell Physician Gives Up His Practice to Enter the Service of
 His Country

It is with regret that the Sem tinel announces that Dr. and Mrs. Pigg and Master Henry Pigg leave Wrangell in a few days after a residence here of three years. The family came to Alas ka from Kansas City five years ago. For a time Dr. Pigg was in charge of the hospital at Sul- ger.
 During their residence in Wrangell the Pigg family have been identified with the social, civic and fraternal life of the community. Mrs. Pigg was one of the organizers of tie Wrangell chapter of the Red Cross and was it's treasurer and also a re- cruitlng officer until recently when she resigned owing to the fact that the family were soon to leave town.
 Dr. Pigg has, in addition to his professional duties, taken a keen interest in public affairs.
 At the time of the registration for the selective draft President Wilson, on the recommendation of Governor Strong, appointed Dr. Pigg member of the exemption board for the Wran- gell district.
 Dr. Pigg is identified with the Arctic Brotherhood, the Redmen, and Moose organizations. He is the present dictator of the Moose, and during his tenure of office the lodge has doubled in membership.
 Recently Dr. Pigg decided to offer his services to his country. He chose to seek commission in the regular army rather than in the reserve. He has not yet re- ceived his commission, but hay ing successfully passed physical examination at Ft. w. H. Seward he is confident that he WIll be given an opportunity to serve his country.
 Dr. Pigg states that he expects to go from Alaska to San Fran cisco for the present. He is a public spirited, patriotic citizen who will be greatly missed.
