A patriotic and unusual program Is
being planned for the graduating
class of Cony High, when, at the
regular graduating exercises which
will be held on Friday evening, June
25 at City Hall. a dramatiZation of
the events leading up to and related
to the signing of the Declaration of
Independence will be presented in OBJ
servance Of the. sesquicentennial of
that historic event. This dramatiza-
ton will take the place of the usual
essays and will require the services
of about 20 members of the senior
class.
1t is based upon and will follow
closely the lines of a dramatization
by Jasper L. McBrien, A. NJ, an eX-
tension specialist of the United States
Bureau of Education, and is as near
historically correct as Mr.. McPrien
through his research has been all :,
to make it. 1t will include the OPEN
ing of the first Continental Congress
with John Hancock presiding. the ap-
pointment of the committee Of five to
draw up the Declaration, the voting
at the Congress on the matter of de-
claring independence from the rule
of England and many other historical
events closely allied to the signing
of the Declaration. The arguments
both for and against the signing will
be given as was done by the delegates
at the very time the Declaration was
under discussion and the dramatiza-
ton which will take about an hour to
present will be of intense interest
and real historical vaue.
Among the characters which will
be portrayed by members of the SEN
Tor class art those of George Wash
ington, Martha Washington, Retsev
Ross, John Hancock, Richard Henry
Lee. John Adams. Roger Sherman,
Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Adams.
Joseph Hewes. Patrick Henry, Thorn
as jefferson, Charles Carroll, Benja-
min Harrison and Richard Stokes.
These characterizations will be car
ried out under the direction of Miss
Orrelle Gray of the English DEPART
ment Of Cony High. Beautiful Col
onial costumes will be provided to
make the scenes both colorful and
true to life.
The sesquicentennial Of the sign
ing of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence is to be celebrated at many
places throughout the country but
especially at Philadelphia, and 1t
was felt that a graduation of this ma
ture would not only be of a novel ma
ture bat would be of real worth to
the students and parents.

TRAPPERS UP AGAINST IT

According to the December issue or the New York Trade Review, the total imports of raw furs to the United States tor the nine months ended September 1925, amount ed to ninety-four million, ninety-slx thous- and. six hundred and twentysix dollars, as compared with sixty-fve million, seven nun dred fortv-three thousand, two hundred seV- entv-three dollars, the same period ot l924 Most of the increase coming from Soviet Russia. either directly or indirectly. The largest importation, being two million, n1- tv-one thousand one hundred and elgnty fox, not including silver grays or black. me result of these heavy importatlons was to lower the price of raw furs, particularly the red fox. The last protective tariff bill pass ed by Congress- provided for no duty on any kind of raw furs imported into the Omted States, except a light tax on silver gray and black fox. There are high duties on prac- tically every product the farmers or the grain growing states produce, on the dr1ed fruits and nuts grown in California and Florida and virtually every article of every description manufactured in the United States is protected from importatlons by both advalorem and specific duties. Even all kinds of manufactured furs are protect ed by high duty. And the Alaskan pays his share of these duties on everything he buys, but when he comes to sell his products he must compete with the fur traders and fur trappers of Russia, Australia, South America, Manchuria and all the countries of the world, and furs are luxury at that.
 No wonder the population of Alaska IS on the wane for the average prospector earns his living by trapping, and by the time he gets his furs outside in the summer he strikes bad market and gets discour- aging results. In addition to this, the Alas ka territorial legislature imposes a tax on every fur he catches and both the territo- rial and federal authorities impose tax on fur traders.
 Let there be less bowling about the ap- propriations for Alaska by Congressmen who belong to the Fork Barrel legislation class for their own states, let there be the same kind of protective legislation for Al aska as for every state in the Union, and fewer "Pin Head' Government officials sent to Alaska who are the greatest detri- ment and menace to the best interests of this vast domain of great natural resources and trust to Alaskans to do the rest.
