This program will be postponed until next Friday if Che basketball boys fail to return by this Friday.
 At the beginning of the second semester a fifteen minute period on Wednesday and Thursday was set aside for singing by the entire High. Last week it was decided that the girls and boys might sing better singing apart; so as a re- suit. the boys have the fifteen min ute singing period on Wednesday. and the girls have the period on Thursday. To make up for the lost period both the girls and boys sing in the period on Friday. IL is thought that the girls and boys have improved since this change was made.

PETERSBURG COUNCIL PASSES
 ABSENT VOTERS LAW

Petersburg is believed to be the first city in Alaska to establish an Absent Voter Law" for the bene- fit of local residents who expect to be absent from the city on city election day.
 Ordinance Number IS was given its third reading at the council meeting Monday night and after short discussion was adopted by the council and goes into effect inn mediately. Under the provisions of this ordinance, any local resi- dent who is entitled to vote and who expects to be absent from the city election day may cast his bal lot any time within two weeks be- fore the regular election day. Tc do this. such a voter must have registered and fulfilled all other qualifications for voting and make application to the City Clerk for an absent voters ballot After Ill ing out the application required, the prospective voter will be issued a ballot. This he will mark in the usual manner and place in sealed envelope marked Absent voter ' Ballot" This envelope will be open ed election day by the judges and if found to be legal ballot, that is. properly marked, the ballot will be counted as though the voter nad actually visited the polls.
 This ordinance is designed 10 permit the many local residents en, gagged in the fishing industry and who are frequently absent from the city during election, to cast their ballots.
 A similar law is expected to be presented to the next Territorial Legislature to do away with the commotion which has arisen late ly over the legality of the existing election laws.-Petersburg Press

An interesting meeting of the Pr. 4. was held last Thursday evening. The business routine brought out the fact that the in debtedness Of the school gym which was built by the Pr. A., is being reduced by substantial payments, the gym earning a steady income in rentals beside the various benefits that have been given. Current bills were allowed for payment the largest os which was the fire in suranee premium for the gym for the coming year Reluctantly the organization agreed that il was not possible to give any more aid to either the girls or the boys bas- ketball teams than providing the gymnasium rent-free for their practice work.
 On motion the president appoint ed a committee of five, Mrs. Jen- sen, Mrs. Johnsoni J. c. Grant. H. Kuehr and c. A.

Supt. Rasmussen then spoke most inter estingly on Some Important Fea- lures or Good School Buildings" His talk was perhaps the most il luminating and thought=proyoking one that has ever been given on that subject in Wrangell and it was matter of regret that his audience was not larger.
 The meeting was concluded by a pleasant social hour during which time the committee for the even ing, Mrs. Case, Mrs. Carruthers and Digby Cochrane served refresh ments.

JUNEAU HIGH FIVE BEATS
 WRANGELL HIGH 22 TO r
Duncan Empire)

For the first time this year Jul neau played a scrappy basketball game and won from the highly touted Wrangell High School team last night in the A. B. hall, 22 to r.
 Led by Capt. Jimmie Connors. the local high boys played a heady game at all times. Connors was too elusive for the Wrangell guards and slipped in six field baskets from all angles on the floor, be- sides breaking up their opponents strong fiye-man defense, at will. Burke played one of the best games of his career. spelling many Of Wrangell's chances to score by some accurate guarding.
 Wrangell has a rangy team and at the start of the game appeared to be heavy favorites over the local leads. Either the Wrangell team was far off form or they lack the drive under the basket at crucial times. Their floor game was onc of the most beautiful exhibitions of team work that has been seen in Juneau for some time. Every mar on the team handles the ball wei and is clever passer. Maybe Wrangell was a little overconfident in the second quarter, as they com pletely outpassed and outgeneraled Juneau in the first half. The yisi- tors led IA to 12 at the end of the first half.
 The local five came back fight ing hard in the second half scoring four field baskets and converting two fouls. Wrangell slipped in one basket and converted a free shot.
 Tonight the visitors meet the Douglas High School in Douglas, giving every indication of a good game Although Wrangell was de- feated by Juneau High School last night, and Juneau and Douglas High teams, on paper are evenly matched, a victory for Wrangell is predicted.
 The lineup for last nights game is as follows:

At this season each year it seems
proper to consider the approaching
marketing period for grass cattle.
Indications are that grass cattle viii
be somewhat later than usual this
year. This isn't due to the fact that
they will not be ready to move but
rather to the tendency on the part
of producers to hold their cattle as
long as possible on account of the
scarcity of feeder stock to replace
their present holdings. Also, many
are DESTROYS of taking advantage Of
the good feed which is available and
will endeavor to put on all possible
weight rather than marketing them
when fat and in the proper condition.
AS has been amply demonstrated
in years past, it is the course Of Wis
dom to let the grass cattle come to
market when they are in good flesh
and condition and not to hold them
in the hope of putting on more
weight or of securing better prices.
When this course is followed the dam
ger is that too many cattle are likely
to be ready at the same time later
in the season and there is always the
possibly of demoralizing prices fol-
lowing this practice. The longer the
marketing period is spread out the
more satisfactory are likely to be
the returns to the advice still appears
good to "ship when ready"
Even at this early date it is prac-
tical in many grass producing Sec
tions to start to top out the better
cattle and allow them to move tC
market and then to continue this pro-
cess throughout the season.
Up to the present time the prac'
tice of holding back grass cattle wher
they are in condition to market
awaiting problematic improvement
in price levels or increased weigh
has worked a hardship rather than
benefit for the producer as when tn
grass cattle are not allowed to NOV,
in their natural volume, other classe
of livestock come in and fill the ga,
and take advantage of stronger price
created by the lessened grass cattl
movement.
Then, eventually, when the gras
cattle are forced to move they NOV
in such a large volume, due to tn
short period left for the operation
that oversupplies result with depres
sed prices.
There is no necessity for a situs
ton such as the above if the custol
is followed of allowing the flow {
grass cattle to come to the markC
in a natural way, spreading out tn
season to the greatest possib,
length.
