William H. Kenworthey, presided,
and told of the object of the ser
vice. The ministers of Smyrna and
Clayton churches were on the plat
form. The invocation was given
by the Rev. Essell P. Thomas,

er. There was a selection by the
Smyrna quartette and a duet by
Mrs. Frank Hynson and Townsend
Jefferson. The speaker of the
meeting was Congressman Robert
G. Houston of Georgetown, who
made a patriotic address. Mr..
Houston referred briefly to all the
wars, and especially how Memorial
or Decoration Day was set aside
by act of Congress for May 80, be-
cause it marked the day when the
last of the Civil War veterans were
mustered out. It was elaborately
observed by the G. A. r. and now

fers. During the year 1880 the
second largest pack of tomatoes
was seen and the Delmarva PENN
sula furnished so per cent of the
years pack. In 1868 the birth of
the tomato canning industry was
heraided. Mr.. Robbins of Dover,
Del, began the industry using a
cook stove. In 1857 the J. H. Hof-
fecker Canning Co., began the in
dustry in Smyrna and has been in
operation each successive year,
having advanced to the most mod
ern methods that involve every
precaution for Sanitation. The de-
partment of agriculture now has
jurisdiction over the industry in
regard to sanitation, contents, etc.
Government methods are closely
followed and this year the buyers
are planning to make purchases as
to regulations provided. The club
voted to accept the challenge of
the Middletown club for three
months attendance campaign, be-
ginning the first meeting in June.
Cooperating with the American
Legion for the proper observance
of Memorial Day was pledged by
the club. A committee was ap-
pointed consisting of H. P. Hall. c.

day and placed on the grave of
Sergeant Lloyd, one of six of the
World War, buried in Smyrna.

 We can not too strongly empha- size our conviction that the future development and welfare of the industry is dependent on the selec ton of qualified men for these positions. Success or failure of the enterprise will in great degree
 rest upon them. Aside from the important basic qualities of char acter. and temperament. they should be men thoroughly educat- ed by training and experience in animal husbandry.
 The District Superintendent shall at all times be subject 10 the direc Elion and control of the Council. His duties should be prescribed to include responsibility for the herd ] ing of the reindeer in his district, working, of course, in cooperation with the several owners cu the ranges, seeing to it that necessary lroundups are made, that every an 1 imal is marked to it's owner, un- desirable deer eliminated from the herd and strays returned to their proper ranges. He should have
 charge of the enforcement of the
 range rules. and generally require lthat all owners shall conform to
 practices which will make for or 1 derly enjoyment of the ranges. He should assist the owners in select ing marketable deer from the
 herds. and arrange, by mutual
 agreement between the owners and the market agencies as to the nun ber of deer to be delivered ant tthe dates upon which such deliv cry shall he made.

Their common welfare requir- es il.
 t5D In the interest of good understanding, We recommend that as soon as practica ble and under equitable auspices, the Lomen rein deer be transferred or withdrawn from the Teller District and also from that portion of the Buckland CT.

sential to the end that there be uniformity of practice and general understanding as to activities on the different ranges. Contacts be- tween the Superintendents will as sist in the marketing problems, and make easier the prevention culties.
 t2) There should be general roundup of all reindeer in each of the districts with the least pos |sible delay. Thereupon, the District Superintendent should endeavor to |amicably settle questions of owner ship and attend to the marking of the mavericks. We suggest that in marking these deer the old rule of the range should ordinarily apply, viz, that the mavericks found on the range go to the owner of the reindeer on that range, but we further suggest that if the deer on the range have not been round ed up for long period or there has been considerable movement Of new deer to that range, the application of this rule may work ,,nequities. In such case, we sug-
 gest that the mavericks be div
 ided on a percentage basis of mark ed female deer in the roundups. (3) We recommend that the re
 search work now being carried on by the Biological Survey be con
 tinued and extended.

I1onpi duib Ituy i>I 'A'N of the Interior, Washington, D. c. Dear MT. Secretary,

 At it's several conferences. the Committee has given most careful consideration to all of the testi, mony and statements presented The conclusions reached comprise
 CD Findings Of Fact.
 CD Recommendations
 Findings of Fact
 The small number of reindee, brought to Alaska many years agt as a means of furnishing the na tives with food and clothing havt multiplied perhaps q thousand fold The development and use of Alas ka reindeer have now reached sucl proportions as properly to be term ed an industry. The animals art still necessary for purposes orig inally intended. but can not b. fully useful even for these pur poses unless forthwith there is es tahlished effective administrative supervision of the industry.
 Our study has chiefly had to d. with conditions prevailing on tn Seward Peninsula and the recon nendations hereinaften set fort are primarily for application il that region. If followed out an found successful. however, it ma be that with but slight modified tion they can be used in other sec tions of the Territory.
 The major reindeer problems. i our opinion, are
 (a) Herding and marking.
 CD Range rules.
 (c) Marketing.
 With reference to them we find
 (a) Herding and marking.
 Being an animal susceptible ( should be regularly herded, an the increase marked to the owne of the mother Conditions in thi regard, especially as 10 anima claimed to be owned by the Eskim are most unfortunate. The nativ owners have shown great lack ( diligence in herding and markin their animals. The white ownel nave given their animals much b.

 I, have studied carefully the report of the reindeer Comittee and wish to suggest the advisabil- ity of drawing to the attention of Governor Parks several additional points which require clarification
 The Reindeer Council, which the Committee recommends, should be called together by the Governor as soon as possible. It is understood that the Council should serve as a Council, without pay, and in order to insure the Eskimos' representa- tives are able to attend, would suggest that for the first meeting at least, the travelling expenses of the Eskimo councilman from his home to the place of meeting and return should be arranged. For the first year, would suggest two Es- kimos on the Council, each with a half of one vote. One of them to come from the Teller district and one from the Buckland district

J beginning 10 appear in the Sew ard Peninsula Prompt action will avoid serious results.
 i (b) Range Rules:
 | The present range rules are in adequate both in extent and ad- ministration. Here also, the ex- ! perience of the cattle areas can be observed with profit.
 Co Mark eting:
 As above suggested, the reindeer industry has gone belond the di- mansions of simply providing food and clothing for the Eskimos. The vast number of animals is far in excess of the requirements for these purposes. As a result, considerable export business has been developed, and reindeer meat is becoming popular in the Ameri- can commodity market. Develop lines will benefit the native rein deer owner and also those whose capital has been invested in the | industry. A commercial outlet for surplus deer will increase the value of the individual animals, and as the industry grows. more labor can be employed and the money income of the Eskimos en- Aanced.
 Tn several favorable locations on the Peninsula private enterprise at great expense has established facil ites for preparing the animals for market. sportation agencies are available. Some supervision as 10 the conditions under which Ethe reindeer are to be presented
 for market preparation is needed,
 however. We have recommends tions bearing upon this important
 feature of the industry.
 CD Recommendations:
 CD First and foremost, we urge that Reindeer Council of
 five members be organized with , the following membership: tal The Governor of the Ter ritory as EX-Offici" Commissioner
 for the Departmen; of the Interior
 in Alaska, Chairman.
 Cb) Chief of ile Alaska Divi-
 sion of the Bureau of Indian Al
 fairs.
 co The Superintendent ot , Reindeer in Alaska.
 td) A representative to bt ? chosen by and from the Eskimo
 reindeer owners.
 = (e) 4 representative to be I chosen by the Lomen interests. : The Council shall be in genera P executive and administrative con . trol of the reindeer industry. anC e shall also specifically perform these - functions.
 l. FUNCTIONS: p | The Reindeer Council shall for
 mulate range rules and reSula Q tious. and through conference ant e negotiations with the marke l. agencies they shall, during tn, h early part of the year, prefera bl! Il in January or February, endeavo d to agree upon what is fair ant V reasonable price for the reindee l. delivered at the slaughter pens > When such conclusion has beer
 reached as to fair price. the in n formation shall be communicated
 10 the owners of the reindeer ol
 the different ranges, in advance o
 the roundup season, provided tha
 when such information as to pric <: has reached the Eskimo if shal
 always remain entirely optiona ,f with the Eskimo himself to accep IT or reject the price. We recon d mend that the agreed prices he Ol ,r the per-head basis and that casI is or orders for money (not order Is for goods) be the medium of set 10 tlement, payable upon delivery 0 ve the animals to the slaughter pent If So far as feasible, the Counci lg shall seek the assistance of tn rs herd owners in formulating satis ct factory rules and regulations an D. when formulated they shala b

re-SchooI Child Clinic

The fathers and mothers of all
children who will enter school in
September for the first time, may
be keenly interested in this clinic
called the Summer Roundup" 3"
which will be conducted at the high
school building, under the auspices
of the Parent-Teacher Association
Council The organization will
have the help Of local physicians,
dentists and oculists, who will con-
tribuate a portion Of their time to
this valued work. Under the pres
ent arrangement all children will
have an opportunity to be examined
free. They will be weighed and
measured also, and any defect will
be charged. The parents are given
copy of the results of the exam
ination, and they may confer with
that any defect be corrected during
the summer, so the child may enter
school in the best possible health.
Experience has proven that many
children have defects that prevent
them from proper physical and men,
tai development, which are not ap-
parent or their importance realized.
In majority of cases these defects
can be corrected, and the children
restored to normal condition and
made strong and happy. The value
of corrective work can not be over
estimated.
Remember this examination will
be held in the high school building
in McConnelsyille, Wednesday, June
"a, beginning at a. m.
We earnestly urge all parents Of
pre-school children to arrange for
this opportunity Of free eXamina-
ton. Should any child be missed,
please call the president or the
chairman at once, in order that an
can be arranged Mrs
NJ. NJ. Mcdonald, Chairman; Mrs.
Harry Phillips, President.
