Mr.. Allocate is right in a way.
But, in a way, he is wrong. In
advocating freedom for the men
who make our motion pictures,
this may be allowed to a certain
extent. He must remember that
he is not dealing with Shakes
pears, GoyaS and Mcclellan
geloS when he allows this free
dom. He is dealing with men who
are concerned with motion pic
lures as business venture-not
as an art. Too much freedom
might allow them to satisfy the
box-office, but it also might kill
the industry. The men who pro-
duced great books and great
paintings were artists; the men
who are producing our motion
pictures are not artists. One of
the big duties of Will HAYS is to
form a sort of check rein on the
producers. One cannot get away
from competition, and competi-
ton, coupled with unusual free
dom, might play havoc with Hol-
lywood's output. In order to

The Wrangell sentinel., 1930-05-08

The Service Club of the second and thiad graders in Miss Hagerty's room held an election of officers Monday morning, selecting Leonard Campbell, Maxine Early and Patri- cia Neilsen.
 The retiring president stated that she had an important question to bring before the club. With the re- lentless zeal of the ex-delinQuent, she sternly took the members to task for appearing on the play ground with candy, etc., and coming to the class room without pencils. In the discussion which followed one boy remarked that perhaps the kids dads, when they gave them money for candy, didn't know they had no pencils" He added that he always made his money in the sum- mer, and, anyway, when he wanted a pencil he just informed the family as he left for school that he was talk ing a pencil from the case. Another boy shrewdly observed: You'll al- ways notice that the ones who spend money on candy have no pencils" At this, a girl having a Milky Way bar in her possession, hastily ex- plained that it was given to her by a friend, and that she had about fifty pencils, anyway, which state ment was greeted by ill-concealed skepticism. A second girl, drawing from her ever-ready store of colorful and varied experiences in Ketchi- kan told of rich girl in that town who had a hundred dollars in the bank and ALWAYS had candy but NEVER had pencils. Apropos of nothing in particular, Jerry Des- mond casually remarked that he had ninety-nine dollars in the bank, the staggering proportions of this sum taxing the credulity of the members to the uttermost limit.
 The president then took a survey of the pencil situation, noting the delinquents, their excuses and their promise to reform. It may be re- marked that the afternoon session brought forth a goodly array of re- splendent new tablets and pencils.

PIONEERS OBJECT TO MAKING
 EAGLE PET OF CONGRESS

Anchorage Pioneers, who feel that they know more about the habits of the American eagle than do members Of congress, are protesting against the proposal to put the eagle on the protected list in Alaska. The ques- tion was discussed at a recent meet ing of the Anchorage iglOo with the result that formal protest against the passage of the pending Norbeck bill was forwarded to Delegate Dan Sutherland, with request that he make vigorous effort to prevent fa- vorable action on the measure in the house. The resolution which cov- CTS the question fully, is in part as follows:
 Whereas, there is now pending in congress a bill to prohibit the kill ing of. the American eagle in conti- dental United States and the terri torial possessions thereof. and
 Whereas, the legislature of the Territory of Alaska has placed a bounty of $1.O0 per head for the de- struction of the eagle in Alaska, and
 Whereas. the eagle is predatory bird which lives exclusively on the wild life-mink, marten. ermine, muskrat, ptarmigan, ducks, geese and the young of sheep. goats, fox and other wild animals; and kills whenever opportunity offers, not only for food, but also for the mere desire of killing and
 Whereas. continuous and per sistent propaganda is promoted by certain Audubon societies, nature lovers, and visionary dreamers liv- ing remote from Alaska, and having no interest in the territory or those who are undertaking its develop ment, to retsrict the use for food and the taking for fur of the wild the territory;
 Therefore, be 1t resolved by Igloo No. 15, Pioneers of Alaska of An chorage. Alaska, that we do. hereby protest against the passage of any law by congress which is designed to perpetuate the American eagle in Alaska; and do hereby proclaim our continued faith in the American dollar and our admiration for the emblems engraved thereon, even tho the menacing shadow of the eagles wing shall cease to darken our fair land.

LIBRARY REPORT

The following books have been added to the library since last week: Tarzan the Untanled, The Son of Tarzan and The Return of Tar gan by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The Green Bay Tree by Louis Brom- field; The Yukon Drive by Robert 0rmond Case The Professors House by Villa Gather. The End of the House of Alard by sheila Kaye Smith, and Nathan Burke by Mary S. Watts. The last named was do- mated.
 The library receipts fell off con siderably last month and amounted to only sS.S5. Books issued num- : bered 131 and magazines, 53.
 While arrangements for a free li- brary are going forward as rapidly as possible, the new books received are worth getting a library card for The charge Is only 25 cents a month and both books and magazines may be secured on the same card. The current issue of the magazine is not given out, but other copies may be borrowed on card presented to the librarian.
 For the benefit of those who may not understand the necessity of run ming the library in a systematic manner, the Civic Club, sponsoring the library. wishes it known that no magazine may be taken from the reading table at any time except on a card. Many magazines have dis appeared in the past and it has been found necessary to lock some of them up in order to keep them. This is not fair to men who enjoy the reading room at night, but cannot be avoided until the very reason able rules of the library are ob- served. The cooperation of the community in this respect will be greatly appreciated.

PENSION FUNDS FAR SHORT
 OF ACTUAL REQUIREMENTS

Even though no penslons are granted and no increases are made In the individual allowances now being paid persons receiving old age gratuiIies, the Territorial PensIon Fund at the close oI the present Dl- ennium will be a few thousand dol lars short of actual requirements, It has been revealed in figures made public by Gov. George A. Parks.
 During the first ot the blennium, ending March 31, last, the sum ex- pended was $S5,47O. Of this SloO reverted, leaving a total or o4,osU TOT the final year.
 Pensions granted since that tune would increase the payments neces- sary 10 be made during the coming four quarters to SS7,S4O, which Is S2,g5O in excess of the money that Is available. 1t Is apparent that the number of new pensions to be grant ed during the next twelve months will be very limited, ana only pos sible where existing pensioners are dropped from the roll from death or other causes.
 While pensions to persons resld- ing in the First Division are larger than those in any other Division, 1t does not necessarily follow that they are all directly chargeable to this district. Experience has shown that a not considerable number of per sons receiving pensions have come to Southeast Alaska to reside, for economic and other reasons, after qualifying for gratuities in other sections.
 During the past year persons ln the First Division received S3l,9sO, or S7.4 per cent of the total expen- ditures. There was sent to the Sec ond Division, the lowest numerical Iy in population, $s,425 or eleven Der cent. The Third Division re- ceived LAO, or 22.4 per cent. The Fourth Division received s24,S75, or 292 per cent.

MISFORTUNE OvERTAKES
 FORMER DAWSON ATTORNEY

A recent visitor in Juneau from Dawson told of a series of misfor- tunes which recently overlook a for mer promising attorney of the Yu- kon metropolis, J. P. Smith, for sey- eral years Crown Prosecutor there. On leaving the Yukon, Attorney Smith settled in Vancouver, B. C., where he had a large sum of money invested and where he deposited se- curities and bonds to the value of several thousand dollars. Eye trou- ble overlook him and he went to New York for treatment which was successful, but shortly after leaving the clinic in' which he had been treated he was the victim of an au- tomobile accident which caused al most a year in a New York hospi- tai. Recently he returned to Van couver only to learn that the com cern in which he had invested money had gone to the wall. More than that, his securities and bonds had been stolen, and now, as age creeps upon him, he finds himself totally blind and penniless.
 Old Yukon friends, it is said, have endeavored to persuade MT Smith to return to Dawson where they can care for him, but as yet he has not consented to do so.- Stroller's Weekly.
