read of men leaving for the

by the thousands and while we
sigh that such things should be,
we do not grasp the real signifi-

experience comes home to our

people realize what exacting du-
ties are imposed on an exemption
board.
Red tape is often a great
bother for no purpose, but the
very nature of a selective draft
is such teat considerable red tape
is absolutely necessary.
The three citizens who com.
pose the board are men whose
private affairs are enough to keep
them occupied all the time. Yet
they have managed to give con-
siderable time to the exacting
duties that devolved upon them
as members of the board.
Their duties did not end with
with the departure of Wrangell's

Helen Hofstad scored a biz hit in
the singing Of ''Longboy.' Miss

heart. An improVised donkey
was an amusing feature. MISS

harassed lady ticket agent o. the

sengers were her fellow high
school students in various anus
ing roles. After the close of the
program, dancing commenced
and a very enjoyable evening
ensued.

The past week has been an
eventful one in the fish situa-
ton. Last Wednesday morning
the prices fixed fer fish by the
Food Administration were an
nounced in Wrangell. The fixed
prices were so low as to render
fishing too improbable to be
worthy of ones time and efforts.
The fishermen We're net alone
in their feeling of resentment.
The buyers also realized that the
prices were outrageously low.
Meetings were he'd and protests
We're sent to the Food Admins
tration by both fishermen and
fish buyers.
Sunday another meeting was
held at which it was decided to
send to Juneau J. G. Bjorge and
c. N. Coulter, representing the
fish buyers, and Amt Sorset rep
resenting the fishermen. Other
citizens left for Juneau later.
The above cablegram received
from C. N. Coulter Tuesday af-
ternoon relieved the situation
considerably.
The fishermen were exactly
right in hanging up their nets
when the Food Administration
made its blunder of fixing prices
