ANEW CHURCH

Wrangell citizens are being given the opportunity this week to further the work of the Presbyterian church in Wrangell.
 After bids were opened Tuesday for the new church to be built re- placing the old one which was de- stroyed by fire last October, it was found that if a contract were award ed to the lowest bidder Wrangell citizens would have to raise about $500 in addition to the thousand dollars they have already pledged.
 The Board of National Missions has assigned s12,000 for the new church but the remainder must be raised here if the church is to be built. Russell F. Pederson, pastor of the church, believes that the amount will be. raised, though in dividual subscriptions will probably be smaller than they would be in normal years and he believes that the majority of people here will be glad to assist, even in a small way, in building a church.

BIRTH CONTROL

A subscriber, writing Stroller's about a certain article which crept into this great exempler of home fife last week, asks us if we believe in birth control. While the subject is one not intended for undue publicity, we might say here that we do, with reservations. If the con- rol had started with the questioner's vents, we heartily indOrse 1t. In
 {, it seems to us that it would
 re been wise provision against
 uttering up the world with dead
 ood.
 Birth control, however. would be unwise applied to editors or other benefactors of the human race. In case 1t becomes a national pastime, we would suggest trying it out upon spring poets and other carniyora of the genius homo. Birth control is unnatural and unnecessary. Let your children grow up and run a newspaper, and they will starve quickly enough.-Stroller's Weekly.
