unlike any business in the problems
they present. Too many club direc-
tors and ministers, he said. forget
that Sunday men are weekday men
dressed up Men who go to church
once a week, he declared, have the
same tempers, likes, and patience as
men who work all week.
Church club work, he said, should
go beyond religious limits into social,
educational and reereational fields.
Under social activities, the speaker
named the conduct of camps for poor
children; under educational projects
he suggested the members own study
of broader subjects beyond their own
employment, and as recreation he de-
clared such organization should foster
frequent outings.
The officers who were installed by
Rev. Fl. A. Films, pastor Of the Peo-
pies Congregational Church, include:
c. c. Dodson, president; A. w. Danger.

The historic record, however, shows this difference be- tween Alaska and the other Terri tories: The legislators of former tories seemed to direct their efforts ,sstoward restricting and curtailing the power 0 fFederal officials and te strengthening their own self govern ment- In Alaska there are legis- lators who persist in maintaining the power of these officials in. controlling our local affairs. In fact, since thet first Legislative session there has been nomovement made to strengthen our Territorial administration but has lheen thwarted by our legislators
 The history of the struggle to sep :arate the State or Territorial units from the control of representatives of the central government is written in the many of the Acts of Congress for the Territories.
 Section II of the Alaska Organic Act, which provides that mo person holding a commission or appointment under the United States shall he a member of the Legislature, or shall hold any office under the Government of said Territory. was written into the Organic Acts of the old Terri tories to prevent usurpation of pow
