KETCH|KAN ' COMMERCIAL CLUB MERE TOOL
 TRAP INTERESTS

veals more clearly to the little fellow on the street how completely the Ketchikan Commercial Club is dominated by Trap interests than the letter which the club sent to Henry O'Malley.
 Readers should pay particular attention to the claim of that club that "the small owners of inde- pendent traps are largely responsi- ble for the growth and prosperity of this district, etc.
 There are about 5000 people here in Ketchikan. Of this number there are about fifty trap owners and at least 1000 seiners and another 1000 trollers. If there were no traps, the income of the seiners would at least double and so would the population of Ketchi- kan. We would have larger machine shops, boat shops, ship chandleries, sales shops for marine engines, and more money for shows, cand- ies, and all the good things of life. There would even be danger that we might follow the example of trap men and go to California for the winter and there spend our easy money coming back to Alaska only for more to spend in the land of the sun kist orange.
 Mir. Elsemore of Petersburg hit the nail on the head the other day. It was just after the second open season and the Indians were coming to get their checks cashed after the short season when they fished without the competition of traps. MT. Elsemore said, "Say, if there were no traps, there would be piles of money made and spent right here in Petersburg"
 Yes, and in every other town. If we could have just one year in Ketchikan without the fish trap, the Ketchikan Commercial Club itself would oppose fish traps for the benefits would be in the pock- cts of the members.
 Here is the letter:
 "Henry O'Malley,
 "Commission of Fisheries.
 "Ketchikan Commercial Club on September 9th. at we'll attended meeting unanimously approved re- solution regard the future fishery regulations for southeastern Alaska.

While Mrs. Coolidges identity was

her and accorded their genial visitor
a laundering ovation. The First
Lady then walked back to next to the
last row in the theater and sat down
to enjoy the balance of the film.

BERLIN CITIZENS
 TO DISCUSS ROAD Trunk Line Project Will Be Talked Over Next Wednesday CARTER CALLS MEETING
School Board Appoints Committees For Ycar-To Investigate Condi-
 lions at Pcrciyal School-Make Plans for Boys and Girls Clubs.

First SelcCtman George E. Carter has called a meeting of all citizens intcrpsted in the New Britain to NIcrfdcn trunk line highway project, for next Wednesday evening, Janu- ary ', at o'clock. The meeting will be held in the directors room of the Berlin Savings bank, through the courtesy of Representative Francis Deming.
 This meeting will first sho" just how many residents arc really in tercsted in having such road con- structed through kenspgton. IL will also bring out opinions of vari- ous residents of kensington in re- gard to the matter, who will in turn hear an expression of opinion by Nir. Dening and hy First Sclectman Carter.
 Although Kcnsington people will be the ones vitally affected by the project, all citizens interested will be welcomed.
 The project, brought up and ad- vocated recently by Mr. pcming, has interested Kensington people as few other matters have interested them in past years. It is seen that q road such as is wanted would give Kcnsington people access to New Britain and to Meriden by means of q good concrete pavement. It would be a great help to people living in the western part of the town, as there is no excellent stretch of high way in that section, by any means
 II is probable that a committee will he appointed at the meeting to wait upon the state highway commissioner, in order to learn his views on the project and to enlist his support, if possible.
 Committees Appointed.
 Committees for the year were ap- pointed at meeting of the Berlin school board, hold laSt evening at tho town hall. They are:
 Teachers committee, Robert II Graham. Miss Adele Murray, Frank lin N Bacon.
 Text book committee, Miss Adele Murray, James P. Holgan, Stanley L. Galpin.
