HanfOrd Asks To Join
- Tax Payers League

Appearing in the Wrangell Sem
tinel of March 3, was an article ad-
dressed to the voters of Wrangell
and signed by the Wrangell Tax
payers League. The writer has made
many inquiries as to just who the
Taxpayers League is. None of the
taxpayers whom | have contacted
claim membership or know who its
ganization in town the writer as a
taxpayer would be pleased to join
and pay such dues as the organiza-
ton demands. Such an organization
could go far if composed of real
tax payers that have the interest of
the town at heart. They could
meet and discuss matters of interest
to the town and by so doing great
ly assist the men elected to the city
council.
OnA paragraph states that the
town is owing $3.50. Our new pres
ident and administration are not
reducing the national debt by cut
ting taxes or making any drastic
cut in the educational programs
but they are cutting administration
expenses to the bone and we should
do the same. Thus so reduce our
debt and save interest, this could
not be done by cutting taxes.
Another paragraph states that
the league favors writing the In
terstate Power and Light Company
asking them to reduce payments so
that the lighting rate could be re-
duced This, in my opinion, is not
sound business; we would then be
paying interest longer and adding
extra expense to the light depart
ment. l would say pay for it in the
allotted time and then have a rev.
enue of approximately $1,000 a
year which would go far towards
reducing our taxes.
1 believe we should give every
assistance possible to those who
are unable to pay their light and
water by giving them work in the
city whenever labor is needed.
Let our Taxpayers League, If
there is such an organization, show
some enthusiasm in getting indus
tries in town and forget about the
light plant and few other sore
spots for the present Let them
compare our assessed valuation per
capita with any other town in the
Territory.
The Tax Payers League also
states in their article that many of
the citizens are without food,
clothing and fuel This is not good
advertising for Wrangell and l will
defy the writer of that article to
show me where we have had any
suffering in Wrangell this past
winter for want of food and cloth
ing. This is not the kind of adver
Using that will build up our town
and let us try to remember that the
worst bankrupt in the world is the
man who has lost his enthusiasm.

gov. PARKS LEGISLATURE MESSAGE
STRESSES NEED BALANCED BUDGET

The need for economy and a bal
anced budget was stressed by Gov
George A Parks in his message to
the Eleventh Alaska Legislature
last week.
He declared that 1.-The unusually
adverse conditions that have exist
ed for nearly three years have de-
veloped a serious situation, which
will require the most careful and
unselfish consideration of every
governmental agency if we are to
carry on successfully the essential
functions of government and render
efficient service to the people of
Alaska"
Curtail Expenditures
I'VE may choose" said the COVER
nor, " and l am confident that we
will, to be guided by experience
and sound principles of business
and curtail our expenditures or we
may pursue the easier course and
in so doing place added burdens
upon the people and industries of
the Territory. We can not lose sight
of the fact that in the last analysis
the individual must assume the
costs of government.
The governor stated that it was
not pleasant duty to appear be-
fore the Legislature and present a
situation which demands drastic re-
auctions in all appropriations, but
that unless the true conditions were
squarely faced the serious problems
of the Territory could not be solved.
He declared that in submitting rec
concentrations for appropriations,
which, in every case, was far below
the estimates prepared by the va
rious departments, he had eliminat-
ed many merit0rious items for the
sole reason that the probable rev.

STRAND

Co-starred together for the first time, Jean Harlow and Lee Tracy are to be seen at Warmers Strand today in Blonde Bombshell.'
 It is one of the most unusual and hilariously humorous pictures that have come out of Hollywood this year.
 Jean Harlow as Lola Burns is a sensational and glamorous film star who has been made famous by the genius of her press agent, Lee Tracy.
 It is this publicity that plunges Miss Harlow into all of the woes that beset her throughout the action of the screen story - her headlin elov eaffairs, her revolts with the studio executives, her worries with her trouble-making family and the additional woes heaped upon her by movie e-crazed fanatics.
 It is made-to-order part for Miss Harlow who gives 1t all the punch and vitality which filmgoers

 The startling disclosures that come about through the police in vestigation include a blackmafl plot and secret love affairs of a million aire Broadway playboy. Two meth ods of investigation are followed, one the modern, scientific way of unearthing criminals as practiced by George Brent in the leading role, and the other the blundering system followed by the old school police who rely on the third de- gree to wiring confessions from their victims. The latter method is followed by Eugene Palette.
 There Is romance entangled in the plot under the strange circum- stances of Brent, as the police Of flcer, Investigating the girl he loves a part played by Margaret Lindsay, who is supposed to have been the enamorata of the murdered man and is suspected of his murder.

It is difficult to comment on the breath taking film IS. o. s. Ice berg without running into the term "epic". Universars amazing drama of the Arctic which opened to a packed house at the New Gar den theater this afternoon for two day showing is something that has never been done before. IS. Q. S. Iceberg" is the film which re- suited from the six months polar expedition which Universal sent into Arctice Greenland under the leadership of Dr Arnold Fanck, the noted outdoor screen producer. The 3S memebrs of this hazard ous excursion braved the perlls or the North and endured countless hardships and privations to make this miraculous film possible. Nat. urally, its most outstanding fea- ture is the great beauty of the ice lands. and the spectacular Arctic phenomena which 1t records on film and in sound as well for the first time. but in addition to this IS.

YOUR TABLE
 MANNERS...
Salting the Food

An admonition for Christmas and all-year-round guests |. It Is an offense to seize the salt and pepper shakers and dust them over foo dat least until you've tasted it to see how it suits your taste. The inference being that you know be- forehand that the cook Is lax with her seasoning.
 If after food has been tasted you should decide that you'd like more salt, put it on as unobtrusively as possible. Nothing so troubles a very good cook as to be forced to watch a guest administer good salting to dishes he hasn't yet tast- ed, and which she knows are more salty than he suspects.
 Should the hostess happen to make some remark on thsi piont- which she of course shouldn't-the polite guest may cover up his error by insisting that he eats too much salt!
 The same rule would apply to the use of sugar on buildings and in fruit cups. Taste first; season later. It can be done so sketchily that it's hardly noticed.

Stir un- til sugar is dissolved and then cook without stirring until 1t reaches the hard crack stage when tested in cold water or until the mixture reaches 300 degrees F.

Dip each nut into syrup, and stick the ends of the toothpicks into a pan of brown sugar and to drain and harden.

 Babies Looking for Jobs
 The success of year and a half old youngster, Baby LeRoy, has started a literal drumming of in- fant hands on studio gates. From all over the country mothers are arriving with children who they believe are suited perfectly to screen careers.
 So far the only answer they have been able to get in casting offices is mo" Some, in hope of getting a break for their children anyway, are having the youngsters camp day after day on studio steps just on the chance that they might cap- ture the eye of some director or producer.
 But even that doesn't work. River Made Q Stage
 Practically anything can happen in the movies these days. It is not at all uncommon for Q huge "out- door setting to be built right on a studio stage. And now they ever have transformed a river into an outdoor sound stage.
 This was done with the Stanis- laus river near Sonora. Calf, while filming wild Birds. A section of the river was fenced in to keep outsiders far enough away so that they couldn't interfere with the sound recording. Portable gener- ating and recording plants had to be erected on the site and wires strung for the lights and micro- phones.
 When completed, this outdoor stage" had everything to be found on a studio sound stage.

Pheasant Holiday Bird of France-ls the Piece de

By ETHEL HUTCHINSON Director - AdPyenne's - New York

Christmas eve = not Christmas
 day - is the great time of ceie-
 bration in Paris, when families
 down to the least member gather
 around the home table for the Big Dinner at nine o'clock. There IS feasting and drinking and excited conversation until almost at twelve o'clock, when all go out to church for the midnight service then on to some gay restaurant untit morning. Literally, the whole of France Is abroad on Christmas eve, much al ter the fashion of our own celebra- ton at New Years. and the dinner
 at home beforehand Is planned
 with all the care and elaboration that we give to the midday dinner on Christmas day. Except that the French people choose pheasanI [ to represnt this holiday instead of goose or. turkey or little sucking pig. as here in America. Pheansant stuffed and beautifully roasted. then re-decorated with its gorgeous plumage, it's head and feet put back on as nearly true to life as possible . <. pheasant in blaze or color. of huge silver salver. with all sorts of delicious vegetables arr ranged carefully around it.

 That is not a heavy menu, but 1t is a very festive one, and guar anteed to satisfy until one goes lat- CT to the restaurant until one goes later to the restarant after twelve o'clock. Then quantities of cham pagne will be in evidence, and the supper menu runs to sea-food spe- cialties such as Lobster and similar Coauilles Saont-Jacques and stmi- lar dishes.
 With ali the attention that the French people give to food, ana their adoration of 1t, one would think that they would consider 1t as a candidate when making tnfor- mai Christmas gifts. But they never make gifts of fancy foods or candies. or attractive baskets filled with goodies, as do people in Ger many and in America. Instead, the French send quantities of flowers everyone sends flowers to ev- eryone else, in the same spirit thar
 moves us at Easter. Christmas day, as you may well imagine. is relatively quiet after so much celebration an tnteresting contrast with our American Christ mas night at home.

 Hollywood.-Lce Tracy is NOT through in motion pictures.
 Despite the fact that his contract was broken by the Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer studio as a result of his re- ]. cent Mexico City escapade, Tracy will continue working in front of the movie cameras.
 I formed this opinion after see ing a preview of the actors latest film, Advice to the Lovelorn." It is one of Tracy's best efforts and will make money. And as long as he, or any other actor, will bring dollars into studio coffers, jobs will be waiting.
 So far only one star, who meant money at the box office, has lest out because of his personal actions. That was Roscoe Fatty" Arbuckle. And it was the womens clubs throughout the country. not the producers, who chased Arbuckle off the screen.
 If the women should turn thumbs down on Tracy, then he'll be through. They are too powerful < tO COfi1Ddts I1OWCNCAs LllClC To io indication at present of such or ganized action taking place.
 Tracy has lost contracts before, due to off-the-screen activities. But always there has been another major studio ready to hire him. And there are studios ready to sign him right now.
