Salvation Army Drive

The annual appeal for funds to help carry on the work of the Sal vation Army in Wrangell. will com mence Saturday, August 31 Ensign R. Boyes of the Alaska headquar- ters here will be in charge of the drive.
 As in previous drives, the money is to be expended locally, every dollar remaining in Wrangell, and a hearty response is anticipated. During the past years the citizens of Wrangell have contributed gen. erously, and this year ought to be equal to the best.
 The work of the Salvation Army in Alaska is becoming more and more appreciated by both the Ma i've and white population. An in lication of this is found in the fact hat one of the most recently dedi- ated halls was built by a cannery n appreciation of the reformation ffected through the Army among he cannery's Native crew.
 The soldier boys still talk of he Army's work overseas, and the Army of today is still working on the same principles and with the same devotion to the needy.
 In such work the Army is en- titled to financial support regard less of color or creed. Lend your backing by a substantial cash do- nation.

Marine Ball Given
 By Explorer Men
 Was Big Success

It was the unanimous opinion of those who attended the Marine Ball given the people of Wrangell al, the Gym last Saturday by the men of the Explorer that the Coast and Geodetic Survey folks are ex- cellent hosts. All of the details that go to make a successful dance had been carried out by the committee in charge. Flags overhead and at the sides, transformed the Gym and the stage where the four piece orchestra was seated was be- decked with bunting and greenery. Balloons of all colors, serpentine and fancy caps were distributed during the evening and added to the gaiety. The programs carried twenty numbers and extras and en- cores were generous. During an intermission punch and wafers were served at the end of the hall after which the grand march was led by Miss Josephine Harvey and Lieut.. Philip Doran.

The property referred to in the above is a desirable lot on which stands an old building that was originally built for a Native school and during the past few years used by the Wrangell school board for High School
 One of the first acts of the pres ent Town Council was to condemn the old building for further use for school purposes. After the old structure had been condemned the matter of demolishing it was con- sidered. This brought out the fact that the Town had never received a deed to the property although 1t had fulfilled the provisions of it's contract with the Bureau of Edu- cation. The Council took up the matter with the Department of the Interior. Correspondence disclosed the fact that two years ago Dr. Jonathan H. Wagner, Chief of the Alaska Division, U. S. Bureau of Education, sent communication to the Commissioner of Education at Washington recommending that the Town of Wrangell be granted a deed to the property. Just why the Department of the Interior took no action is not known.
 During the past few months L. .B. Chisholm, Town Clerk, has written several letters to Washing ton in an effort to get the. property transferred to the Town. The aid of Delegate Sutherland was also so- licited in the matter. That the De- partment of the Interior has at last definitely decided to transfer the ownership of the property to the Town of Wrangell is welcome news to the Wrangell School Board and the Town Council.
