KANGAROO PLAYS PART IN
MINNEAPOLIS SYMPHONY BAND

Literally snatched frof the back of
an unsupecting denizen of the Austria
| liam bush, kangaroo-or rather his
hide-plays an important part in the
coming appearance of the Minneapolis
| Symphony Orchestra in Lancaster on
| October 10Th under the auspices of
| the KiwaniS Club.
| A kangaroo who aSpireS to partlc1-
pate in symphony concerts must live
circumspect life. He must not in
dulge in mad rushes through the
brush The insults of his brother long
tailed jumpers he must ignore with
the assurance of one who has set his
mind to a career that will not permit
self indulgence, nor even self defense.
"a skin you love to touch must be
his watchword.
To get to the point, kangaroo head
has been found to be precisely the
thing for the heads of the tympani or
kettle drums as they are frequently
called The STRAIN upon these giant
drums is tremendous under the ter
rife humping they must endure. The
grain of the skin must be fine and
firm and free from flaw. While suf-
ficiently elastic to admit the varying
tension necessary to achieve the prop
er pitch, the hide must not give" eX-
cept as the tympanist adjusts the
set screws.
The oft-told stories of temperamentaI
prima donnas and their trials in keep
ing in form for their roles fade into
insignificance when the story of the
humble kangaroo and his hide is told.
For upon the educated drums" rests
a heavy responsibility. Even the most
casual listener would be quick to de-
tect if they were not in pitch with the
rest of the orchestra. This business
of serving as a tympani head is very
serious business If you don't thing
so, ask any Australian kangaroo you
may meet 1t has become tradition
in the best kangaroo families of the
Island Continent.
Under the ministrations of William
Faetkenhaeuer, charter member OF the
orchestra, the present set used is in
skillful and loving hands. No violin
ist with his treasured Stradivarius
could more safely guard his pet than
Mr. Faetkenhaeur his tympani. Rec
ognized as one of the most skillful
PLAYERS in America, he allows no pos
sibility of danger to approach his in
strutmentS.

The Thorman family are en route to England where the Rev. Thorman will succeed his fath- CT in Harlostan Rectory, Stafford shire.

Commercial Club Also Acts

The Executive Committee of the Wrangell Commercial Club on Mon day elected Captain J. J. Reynolds one of the representatives who will go from this district to Juneau next month to appear before the Bureau of Fisheries Advisory Board.
 The various interests in the Wrangell district are unanimous in their opposition to the closed sea- son on the ground that it works hardship without accomplishing any real good in furthering the propagation of salmon.
 The fishermen have elected Will liam Lewis as a delegate to the same meeting. Captain Reynolds and Mir. Lewis will work along the same lines in collecting facts to present before the Board, which, it is hoped, will be convincing enough to prevent a recurrence of the un- necessary hardship to which the Wrangell area has been subjected this season.

p7OO ROBBERY REPORTED
 TO U. S. MARSHAL'S OFFICE

Benny Scale, lad who made his appearance in Wrangell short time ago, went to the U. s. Marsh al's office last Friday and reported that he had been robbed of aDou; S700. U. s. Marshal Beaumont happened to be on hand and began asking numerous questions as to all that had taken place before the al legged robbery occurred. The mar shal soon discovered that he could invent questions faster than the lad could invent plausible answers The story of the robbery soon be- came so wild and improbable that the lad realized the only way to stop the Marshals rapid fire ques- tions was to confess that the whole story was false The lad consider ed himself lucky in being permitted to leave for the States on the Prin- cess Louise. There were no state rooms available and he went steer age.
 Whatever may have been the de fleets in the young mans character he was not lacking in attention to his personal appearance. He had a liberal supply of cosmetics, and used facial clay, rouge, a lip stick mascara and all the rest as indus triously as any chorus girl. Mar shal Beaumont called at his room on one occasion to walk with him to the court house and Benny kept him waiting while he powdered his face with a powder puff. The mar shal has had many queer experi ences since he took over his office, but Benny was in a class by him. self.

The Red Cross membership drive committee consisting of H. D. Campbell, chairman, Mrs. o. H. Whaley, Mrs. s. D. Grant, J. G. Grant, Arnt Sorset, B. A. Lindman n Digby Cochrane and Leo McCor- mack, have begun the annual Red Cross drive for memberships.
 The money derived from Red Cross memberships in Wrangell supports the Health Center, Loan Closet, and the Community Nurse.
 The committee for out of town memberships include F. s. Barnes Lake Bay; Adolph Hall, Burnet h. ct; Msr Guy Chapin, Karheen; Mrs. c. c. Thomas, Tokeen; Henary Dan nenburg, Calder; B. S. Wake, Point Warde and MT. Stack, A. P. A. can nery at Wrangell.
 Memberships may be taken out for different denominations, but it is hoped that there will be many who will take out a five dollar membership or more showing there by their appreciation and their sat isfaction in knowing ifthey orany of their loved ones are taken i'll or are visited by any physical misfortune, that graduate nurse will be in at tendance to minister to them. The Red Cross nurse ministers to every body in the community in need of her services regardless of the fact whether or not the patient has sup ported the Red Cross. But it goes without saying that the great ma jority of the people wish to do their share toward supporting service in which there is always the possi- bility that it will be needed for themselves, aside from the desire to support an enterprise of such great value and benefit to the community as the Nursing Service has proved to be.

 Carl Arola was selected as chair ann of the meeting.
