CLAUDE BLACKINGTON

Claude Blackington passed away at ? o'clock last Friday following an illness of several weeks. A few Jays before his death he was re- .loyed from his home to the Wran- gell General Hospital. Dr. Edwards, the attending physician, stated that death resulted from otomaine poi soning complicated by acute haem- orrhagic nephritis and purpura. Practically all hope for his recovery was given up several days before he passed away. However, on the day before his death he was given blood transfusion in an effort to save his life. He reacted from the transfusion and appeared somewhat better during the night but took a turn for the worse and passed away the following afternoon.
 The funeral service was under the auspices of the Redmen's lodge of which MT. Blackington was a member. A very appropriate funer- al address was delivered by the Rev. R. J. Diven, D. D. The songs used at the service were Abide With Me-, Face to Face" and There Is a Blessed Home. A long concourse of friends followed the remains to the Redmen's cemetery where the short but beautifully impressive ritualistic burial ceremony of the lodge was performed at the grave. The pallbearers were L. A. Olsen, John Olson, F. E. Gingrass. Ear West, Louis Retzloff, Roy Turner.
 Claude Blackington was born in East Union, Maine. in 1874. His early life was spent in new England. For a while he served as a guard in the insane asylum at Worcester, Mass. He was also employed for several years in the woolen mills of another city in New England. He came to Alaska 2S or 30 years ago. For a number of years he followed the fishing and logging business. About IA years ago MT. Backing ton went through a long illness from which he never fully recov- cred. During the past twelve years he resided in Wrangell for several years operating the pool hall. which is now owned by L. A. Olsen.
 MT. Blackington was 8 man who vas mechanically inclined. Some years ago he became interested in radio. He experimented with a number of different makes and then Luilt two or three sets of his own. While he enjoyed the music re- ,eiyed over the radio he was more deeply interested in the mechanism )f the instruments by which the music was taken from the air. He vas regarded as an autohrity on all matters pertaining to radio. There are probably very few men outside of radio factories who knew more than he knew of the principles of broadcasting and receiving by radio.
 Little is known of MT. Backing tons relatives except that he Is sur vived by sister residing at East Rochester, New York.

Parable of the Vacationists

Now it came to pass as summer
drew nigh that Mr.. Church Mem
ber lifted up his eyes unto the hills
and said:
"Lo, the hot days cometh and
even now are at hand. Come, let
us go unto the heights, where cool
breezes refresh us and glorious
scenes await"
Thou speakest wisely" quoth
Mrs. Church Member. "Yet three,
yea four, things must we do before
we CO."
Three things I can think of, but
not four" responded Mr.. Church
Member 1--WE must arrange for
our flowers to be cared for, our
chickens fed, and the mail for
warded, but the fourth eludes my
mind"
1.-THE fourth is like unto the first
three, yet more important than all
Thou shalt dig down into thy
purse and pay thy Church pledge,
that the good name of the Church
be preserved and that it may be
well with thee, for verify unto
thee, thou hast more money now
than thou wilt have when thou
dost return"
And it came to pass that Mr.
Church Member paid his pledge
for the summer, and the Treasurer
rejoiced greatly, saying, "Of q
truth there are those who care fol
the Lords work, and bethinA
themselves of the Church's expens-
es which continue in the summer
as in the winter"
And it was so.
