Gladys Tamaree Passes After a
 Long Illness

A cablegram was received nere saturday evening bearing the sad neasage that Miss Gladys Tamaree had passed away that afternoon in ketchlkan at the home of her brother, William L. Paul.
 Her passing followed an illness of four months. Miss Tamaree was taken to Juneau in May where she underwent an operation for appen- dicitis some time later. The opera tion had been delayed too long and death from septicemia resulted as a consequence of the delay
 About three weeks after the op- eration, Miss Tamaree was brought back to Wrangell, but as the days passed and she failed to gain in strength she was taken back to Ju- neau. Three weeks ago her family took her from there to Ketchikan. She is survived by her father and mother, Mir. and Mrs. William Tam aree, a sister, Miss Frances Tama- rec, and three older half-brothers, IS. Kendall Paul of New York City. Louis F. Paul and William L. Paul, all of whom were at her side at the last with the exception of MT. Ken dall Paul.
 The body was brought to Wran- gell on the Alaska Monday. Inter ment in Redmen's Cemetery Tues day afternoon was made from the First Presbyterian church, of which organization the deceased had been a devoted member since early child hood.
 Gladys Tamaree was born in Wrangell on December 6, 1908. She "ao ai"dyS d leuIdi hdDly SWtel SlII, beloved by all Her scholarship was of high merit and in every way she gave promise of an honored and useful life.
 The funeral services were in charge of Dr. Robert Joseph Diven, assisted by the Rev H. P Corser, rector of St. Philips and by Staff Captain w. J. Carruthers. In the choir were Mrs. M. o. Johnson, Mrs. F. R. Davies, Mrs. J. c. Grant, Mrs. o H. Whaley, Mrs. c. E. Hagie and Judge Wm. G. Thomas with Mrs. Josephine Mason organist. The casket was borne by six young High School boys with whom Miss Tama- rec had been associated in school since primary days.
 The services throughout were marked by an appealing simplicity and were characteristic of the beau tiful life of the girl who has gone. Intimate friends of Miss Tamaree had decorated the church with the flowers she loved and there were many floral tributes sent from friends in Juneau, Ketchikan and Wrangell.
 The sympathy of the entire com munity is with the bereaved family

Defense Test Day To Be Observed
 In Wrangell

At thS iSqueSl Ol MdJOT GeHeTdl c. G. Morton, U S. A, commanding the Ninth Corps Area, which in cludes Alaska, Governor Scott c. Bone has designated Mayor George H. Barnes of Wrangell a member of the Central Mobolization Commit tee, which will have charge of the observance in the Territory of De- fense Test Day, September 12, which is the sixth anniversary of the battle of St. Mihiel.
 Upon being advised of his ap- pointment Mayor Barnes called special meeting of the Town Coun- cil for the purpose of formulating such plans for the local program as the Council wished to have carried out. After some discussion of the subject it was the concensus of opinion that an observance of this kind which is held chiefly for the purpose of promoting loyalty and patriotism might very appropriate ly be held under the auspices of the American Legion. The Council appointed the Mayor a committee of one to lay the matter before the American Legion. The matter met with ready response by the Amer ican Legion which is to have com plete charge of the observance in Wrangell.
 The Defense Test Day observance will be general throughout the United States. It is pointed out by those sponsoring the observance that the very effort which individ- uals put forth to make a success of Test Day will serve to impress them with their duties as citizens with reference to public defense, and by demonstrating the true meaning of war make them more reluctant to rush into an armed conflict with other nations.
 The following statement from Major-General Charles G. Morton, commanding the corps area of which Alaska forms a part, gives considerable information relative to the National Defense Test:
 "The primary purpose of the De- fense Test set for September 12, is to enable the citizens of this coun- try to see for themselves and to un- derstand the initial steps necessary to muster our forces for national defense under the provisions of the Act of June 4, 1920, which pro- vides:
 "'The organized peace estab-
 lishment, including the Regular
 Army, the National Guard and
 the Organized Reserves shall in
 clude all those divisions and oth- CT military organizations neces-
 sary to form the basis for a con- plete and immediate mobilization for the national defense in the event of natioanl military emergency declared by Con- gress.'
