ALASKA COLLEGE INSTRUCTOR
 VISITS HIGH SCHOOL

Miss Martha A. Park, instructor in Home Economics at the Alaska Agricultural College, spoke to the High School Thursday afternoon. She spoke upon the scope of Home Economics and the opportunities offered by the college. Miss Park kept the interest of the high school boys by emphasizing the fact that many of the highest paid cooks, chefs and stewards, as well as tail ors and designers of women's gar ments are men. Some possibilities for girls who choose this course are managers of tea room. restau- rant, candy, and milliner shops; dieticians, buyers, designers, inte- rior decorators, writers for women's magazines and teaching.
 The Alaska Agricultural College is prepared to give an excellent four-year course in Home Econom- ture, Business Administration, and General Science. Graduates from the high schools in Alaska will be- come adjusted much more readily in their own college than in one Outside" said Miss Parks, and consequently they will do better work and be happier Students come from Nome, Anchorage, Sew ard, CordoYa, Juneau and Ketchi- kan.
 On this tour Miss Park has found a number of students planning to attend the college from Cordova, Juneau, possibly two girls from Pe- tersburg and one from Douglas. Hence, the school hopes that Wran- gell, also will be represented.
 The sentiment of Miss Parks talk was summed up as follows: It's about Alaska College
 that I'll talk to you today. I know you'll give the argument,
 But, it's so far aWay!" I'd rather to Seattle go, for
 work as we'll as play"
 If you but knew our college crowd,
 I'm sure you'd come our way. It is a most delightful group;
 I know them very we'll. With any outside group you choose,
 they'd equal or excel.
 They come from all Alaska
 and have great tales to tell, But when they leave the College
 they give our college yell. The school is yours to take or not
 take heed lest you should grieve That you did not consider it
 Before you took your leave. For if you have not seen the school
 you surely cant conceive The opportunities for you
 ito see, is to believe"

 Tt was a perfect torture to get up this morning.

Visitor from Petersburg

Louis F. Paul arrived from Pe- tersburg Saturday and remained ir town two or three days He was present al the public meeting held Monday night to discuss the bond issue. At this meeting he told something of the effect bonding has had upon Petersburg. He de- clared that Petersburg had more industries than Nrangell. He told of the big revenue the town of Pe- tersburg receives from it's cannery alone. He then pointed out that in spite of Petersburg's big advantage over Wrangell in the matter of re- sources the action of the citizens of Petersburg in issuing bonds was not working out satisfactorily He told of five families who to his per sonal knowledge had come to Pc tersburg with the intention of talk ing up permanent residence theEe. but who had moved on during the past winter on account of the i'm pending taxation resulting from the issuance of bonds.
 MT. PauIs speech was another example of people living in the same community not always seeing things in the same light Former Mayor Ed Locken of Petersburg who was in Wrangell two weeks ago said:
 If Petersburg had to vote on
 this question again the second
 vote would be heavier in favor
 of bonding than was the first
 vote We know the advantages
 of bonding, and if we had au-
 thority to do so we would issue
 bonds for $30,000 in addition to
 the S150.000 already issued. Pe-
 tersburg is taking care of her
 bond indebtedness without the
 slightest inconvenience and
 see no reason why Wrangell
 could not do the same"

THE TALE OF sHABBYToWN

It was a pretty little village when it first came into being, but that was when everything was new But somehow or other, nobody seemed to care much about keeping it so. When approached .on the subject, they always said: Were so busy building a bigger town that we can't stop every little while to Clean-Up and Paint-Up."
 But the funny part of it was the town failed to grow. It just stood stationary, and folks who came there visiting, with an eye to set ting down, or opening a store, or start in some other business, shook their heads and kept moving.
 MORAL: Progress and Paint seem to go together. 'Nuf sed.
