Plans Laid For
Children's Hour

A very excellent plan for giving to
the children Of District l78 additional
educational work for which there Is
not time in the regular school work
is being worked out by Mrs. Edw.
Harmeling -
At least an hour each Friday eve
ming will be devoted to all children Of
the district who desire to take a part
in what will be known as the Chill
dren's Hour" The meetings will be
held probably in the Methodist par
sonage which with Its s. s. equipment
makes 1t ideal fol this project.
There will be sandtable work for
the little tots, with various historical
problems being worked out, story tell
ing for them and for the older chill
dren plays to emphasis the correct
manner of behavior and speech. cur
rent events, group singing, handwork
and athletics and better than all there
will be the opportunity for contacts
of semi-social nature not experienced
in daily school work.
AS a community vashon Island
furnishes fewer activities and advant-
ages for the boys and girls of gram
mar school age than for any other
class Of its inhabitants. The high
school boys and girls are old enough
and interesting enough to be con-
sidered; the older people have more
interests than they can comfortably
manage, but for that important group
of our social structure who are Meth
er fish nor flesh nor good red herring"
the primary, intermediate and gram
mar grade youngsters there is little
thought or effort made in their behalf
outside of the Sunday school and day
school. Yet they need the social con-
facts infinitely more to teach them
how to meet the rest Of mankind COM
fortably. Much of the carelessness Of
our Island youngsters from even the
best of homes is overwhelming shy
ness, rather than lack of fine in
stincts.
Mrs. Harmeling will be assisted in
this work by the mothers of the dis
trict who will follow out the program
that she has SO comprehensively OUT
lined.
1t is hoped to start this work very
soon after the Thanksgiving holidays

Both sextettes exhibited fine teamwork. Outstanding players for Juneau were Eva Rocovich, Rhoda Minzgohr, and Margaret Hanson. Rose Africh, Helen Pusich and P. Lundell starred for the Island combination.
 Douglas Scores First
 The first basket of the game was made by the Douglas forward, Rose Afrieh Soon afterwards she again took advantage of an open shot and scored a second field goal for Douglas. Margaret Hanson basketed Juneau's first goal. She was allowed another opportunity for the basket and scored two more points for the Juneau girls. The ball during most of the first quarter was in Douglas territory, and the guards of the Douglas team, Margaret Pearce and P. Lundell, were obliged to work fast to check their opponents, Fern GubSter and Margaret Han son, of the Juneau team. Rose Africh shot another basket for the Douglas score but she was allowed only one point for it. She made the basket by an overhead shot, and such shot allowed only one point under girls basketball rulings. Just before the gun sound ed ending the first quarter, Marg- aret Hanson sank a basket for Juneau, putting her team ahead by one point. The quarter ended with the score to 5.
 Allowed Free Throw
 Stephanie Africh the dimunitive Douglas forward was allowed a
The Daily Alaska empire., 1932-01-23

free throw, which she made, SCOT ing the first point of the second quarter. She sank a field goal immediately afterwards, putting the Douglas team in the lead by one point. Juneau called a timeout to discuss the situation. The confer ence must have inspired Fern Gubster of the Juneau team, be- cause after it she scored points for her squad. One of them was from free throw, and the other four from two field goals which netted her two points each. The last field goal of the two that she. made dropped through the hoop just as the gun sounded. The half ended with the score Il to in Juneau's favor.
 Between halves the Juneau High School band entertained the spec tators by parading around the gymnasium playing march numbers The band was led by Le Roy West.
 Play In Third Quarter
 The first basket of the third quarter was made by Margaret Hanson of Juneau. Fern Gubster made a free shot adding one more to Juneau's score. These three points made by the Juneau for wards were the only scores of the quarter. At the end of the third quarter, Juneau was in the lead by score of IA to B.
 Margaret Hanson sank a field goal for Juneau to start the last quarter. Margaret Pearce sank an overhead shot which added one point to the Douglas score. Rose Africh was allowed free throw which she sank for Douglas. Fern Gubster sank a spectacular high arch shot which dropped through the hoop for Juneau. Margaret Hanson's basket for Juneau IS seconds before the gun sounded was the last tally of the game. The final score was 20 to 10 in favor of Juneau.

 They ran uE big bill in my store. The old store, you remember. I taxed the boys about it. Didn't see Gage along there. We'll, it was Ash Preston who raised the hell. He wasn't drunk then. An, son, you need to be told that Ash is wild when he's drunk. When sober he's well, he's different. Nick was alone dn the store. Nick was a spunky lad. you know, an he razzed Ash somethin' fierce.

 ''Sol, you can trust me" Wal, this Preston outfit is sure prominent in these parts. They call them The Thirteen Prestons of Sunset Pass It's big family. No body seems to know where they come from. Anyway, they drove a herd of cattle in here some time after you left. An 'ceptin Ash Preston, they're just about the most likable outfit you ever seen.

But, late ly, the last two years, conditions have gone on the same, in that way, an some different in another. I hear a good deal of complaint about the rustlin' of cattle.

By a score of 20 to 10, the Ju- neau High School girls basketball team defeated the Douglas High School girls sextette in the Ju- neau High School gymnasium last night in their march for the Gas tineau Channel championship.
 Three games in the scheduled series of five for title honors have been played, Juneau having won one and Douglas two. The next battle will be fought in Douglas next Friday night.
 Last nights game was thrilling affair. Juneau outplayed the visi- tors during most of the contest, constantly threatening their goal The local maids. however, were frequently worried, by the long passing and accurateeshooting of the Islanders.
 Some Notable Features
 Among some of the notable fea- lures of the game were the two occasions when Margaret Hanson of Juneau put the ball through the hoop. just as the gun was fired. Another time Fern Gubser of the Juneau sextette tossed the sphere just before the gun ended a quar- ter and the ball. making a high arch, sank into the basket after the report had sounded.

Synopsis: The Preston family provides Trueman Rock with plenty of excitement on the first day of his return to Wagon tongue. Thiry Preston seems the most interesting girl he has ever met. His introduction to her comes while he is waiting for a friend, Sol Winter, to return to his store. Thiry comes in and Rock pretends to be the clerk. After his inexperience has caused sufficient comedy to draw them together, he tells her who he is. Winter, returning, tells Thiry that Rock is the man who saved his sons life. Rock carries her bundles to the corral and, while he talks to her, two of the Preston boys come up. Ash Pres ton has a black reputation on the range, and is a quick man with agun. Ash tries to pick quarrel with Rock. His brother takes away his gun, saying, "Ash, you don't know this fellar."

 The younger rider had been bending his intent, clear gaze upon Rock and had formed conclusions.
 "Whash the hell we carer" He's Big Hat, an I'm going to chase him pronto."
 Thiry Preston stepped out as if impelled, yet she was evidently clamped with fear. Rock thought for Thiry's sake, he had better make as graceful an exit as pos sible.
