 George A. Parks

Gov. George A. Parks has an- nounced J. A. Talbot, K J. lesson and Carl A. Drager, all of Ketchi- kan, to be members of the first Alaska Boxing Commission. MT Talbot drew the three-year term and will be Chairman, MT. lesson the two-year term, and MT. Drager was appointed as Secretary for a term of one year.
 All three are prominent Ketchi- kan business men and active Ameri- can Legion men. MT Talbot is sen- for member of the firm of Talbot & Spaulding, MT. lesson is cashier of the Miners & Merchants Bank, and MT Drager was until recently agent of the Union Oil Company prior to that being engaged in the mercantile business in Ketchikan.
 The Boxing Commission was cre- ated under authority of Chapter 72 of the Session Laws of Alaska, 1929. It is empowered to promul- gate such rules and regulations as necessary to protect boxing from abuses. No boxing shows can be held without permit first having been obtained from the Commission.
 The law fixed the headquarters of the Commission at Ketchikan. In order that it might function ef- ficiently, Gov Parks appointed all three members from that city. It in turn, will appoint local repre- sentatives in all Alaska towns to handle local bouts.

DEFEAT ELKHORN

The D. M. H. S. first basket
ball team defeated the Elkhorn
school team in the local high
school gym last Friday night
by score of 22-11. The Ken
tuckians were rare sports and
5ook their defeat in good spirit.
After the game the local boys
gave them rousing party that
stimulated the feeling of good
fellowship that has long exist
ed between the school boys of
Clintwood and Elkhorn City.
The success of the game is
attributed mostly to the expert
guarding Of Gabe (Col. Ike)
Fleming, who seemed to be
everywhere on. the court at
once, and whose opposing fer
ward did not shoot" a goal.
The rest of the team are due
heir share of the glory, but
Colonel Ike demonstrated the
act that as a guard he has no
,eer.

SKEETROCK LOCALS
(By G. w. Stradley)

The Union Sunday School
Skeetrock, which met aga
Sunday, 20, for the first til
since Christmas. The atten
dance was right good consider
ing the fact that we have hao
so much flu in the community
but we hope to have even better
results now that the flu seems
TO have almost died out. Many
teachers in various states have
discovered that a community
Sunday school held in the schoo
building is a very helpful fac
tor in increasing the usefulness
of the school and, at the same
time, making it the center of
community interest.
There will be a pie-supper at
Skeetrock Saturday night, Jan
&c. Mr.. Grady Stone, Local
guitar artist, will furnish the
music. Everybody is invited to
share the fun.
We are glad to note that Mr.
J. E. L. Sutherland is much
improved in health.

PROTECT THE QUAIL

Thus far the winter weather
has been comparatively mild in
nearly all sections Of the coun-
ny, with but little snow or
leet, but we can not expect it
O continue all through the
months Of January, February
and March. 1t is advisable to
ok ahead, however, and pro-
vide for heavy snow and sleet
storms. Shelters for the quail
should be provided in those
states where such storms are
apt to occur. To you, sportsmen
rG lovers CT wild life who live
states thus situated, we
would forcibly suggest that you
ret busy at once, if you have
not already done so, and con-
~truct shelters for the game
title birds. When storm
comes, if it is of sufficient mag
nitude, you should provide that
he birds shall have plenty of
feed to carry them through
safely until the storm breaks
and the birds are again in a
favorable position to hunt their
own food. During periods of
heavy downfalls of snow or Sc
we're sleet storms the birds
should be supplied with grain
1t least every other day, if
possible, and in that case, il
+hev are provided with fairly
rood shelter, thev will stand
cry severe weather and come
out in the following spring in
excellent condition.
If bevy comes to your barn
yard or in the vicinity of your
home. give them as careful at
ten+icn as YOU would your do
nestle fowls, being particular
to see that they obtain a good
feeding of grain each day. The
more of thee birds that re-
ceive help in carving them
through a severe winter season
the fewer destructive insects
will the farmer have on his
farm or in his garden during
the succeeding seasons, to say
nothing of the sport the surviN
inc birds and their progeny
win provide-if the farmer OF
any of the members of his fam
iIy are sportsmen-in the fol
lowing autumn days.

y
ship of all this Upper Big San
dy section has been practicing
"watchful waiting" They are
tired of that. Hitherto, they
nave assumed that the Noun
tain would come to Mahomet. y
they have now decided that
''Mahomet is going to the noun
tain" Their attitude from here
on is, go after what we want
and need, and bring home the
bacon" This is to be done in
the cooperative spirit. But it is
going to be done! Our hands
are now on the pillow, and there
is to be no looking back. All

shoulder to the wheel till there
is u standard Good Road ex-
tending from the bridge at the

By a gentfeman's agreement
that has been a standing prom
Use, we have waited for about
four years. We are now ready
for the fulfillmen5 of said prom
Use. 1t will be news to many in
Kentucky to know that Virgin
a is ready to meet us at any
point the engineers designate.
All they want is just to show
them the place, and they will
be there waiting, when Ken
lucky comes.
Not only that, they are any,
ious to help Kentucky in any
way that they can. However,
the burden of activity is on
Kentucky. She has more miles
to build than does Virginia. To
this task Kentucky must adj
dress herself. The first step in
that effort was taken Tues
day night at Elkhorn City,
when, pursuant to q call by a
committee formerly appointed,
the citizens of the Upper Big
Sandy county" met in the thea
tire building, and after a dis
cussio nof the plans and pos
sible methods of procedure by
Prof. w. B. Ward for Kentucky
and Zach South for Virginia
proceeded to organize The Good
Roads club or association as
designated above. This was
done by nominating and elect
ing Alex H. Looney, president
with Oscar Blevins, vice-presi-
dent. Perry Anderson was chos
en- for secretary. Clint Suther-
