Wrangell is going to have an
election.

Wrangell is going to have an
election.
You can feel it in the air
They plan to elect the councilmen
And they will have to elect the
mayor.
Then we come to the school board
Looking for candidates two
May we elect the gentlemen
Or must the ladies do?
So here we have a quandary
Right up to our ears
With worry, taxes, depression
And many other fears.
Now let us talk election
And what we are going to do
Shape 1T to our complete satisfaction
Then let's vote it thru.
Choose your candidates with preci-
Use the gray matter in your brain
Loathe the ten-as politicians
decision
Have no one but yourself to blame.
When the ballots are counted
And the citizens have made their
choice
Don't sit back as II you're not
wanted
Be helpful, use your good voice.
Support your council in their doings
Give your city good name
Help them with their problems
1t too Is your game.
Attend their council meetings
That is your legal right
Give them your help and greetings
Put old depression to flight.

MISTAKEN

Not long ago l listened in ON a
group of men talking. They were
not gossiping like a mess of old
women because they were talking
about men of various kinds, those
who got elected to town office,
those that didn't, those that would
like to but haven't the ghost OF q
snow, and why and things like that.
They got pretty personal but that
was necessary because they were
talking about public affairs and
public affairs are not things that
you can touch and feel or measure
with a yardstick or buy by the
pound; they are something differ
ent. One OF these men said when
ne got a chance to talk, We'll, Dy-
CERT isn't such a d fool as you
might think" didn't say anything
because they weren't talking to me
and 1 am not a man who has mucn
to say as a rule but was inclined
to think he was right about by
CERT. l don't know much about the
man because our paths don't often
cross and we haven't much in COM
mon. He is an ardent dry and l am
not if 1 can help it and then I'm
not ardent about it but looking
around for something to make me
cheerful again. Dygert has the rep
utation of being honest, paying his
bills promptly and living within his
income while as for me l have never
lived anywhere that l was counted
good pay. I usually get things paid
up before 1 move on but If don't
1t doesn't keep me from moving.
Dygert / hear goes to church every
Sunday. go when Bishop Rowe is
here. That Is, always intend to go
and when l don't make it this year
will count on going next year. So
you see we are different and scarce
~ know each other. But after l read
Dygert's article in the Sentinel OF
March IT, 1 think that the man
who said he wasn't such a d fool
was mistaken.

Mr.. Kirkland refers to letter
from the bank, written as trustee

as being on file at the city hall.
The city clerk denies having re-

even having seen the letter. Accord
ing to the minutes of the meeting
in question held on June % and
approved by the council on July

he had prepared as though coming
from the Council, addressed to Mr..

Mrs. Sadie E. Pritchett, Publisher,
The Wrangell Sentinel,
Dear Mrs. Pritchett;
was astonished to read the ar
ticle written by Dygert which you
printed in the March II issue of
your paper.
l regard this article as personal
insult both to Mr.. Rasmussen anu
myself and a direct reflection on
the integrity of the bank. Our offer,
made as trustees for the bondhold-
ers of the Wrangell Lumber and
Power Company, was a clean cut
business proposition. There was
nothing vague about it. We offered
to pay the Town spot cash for
every dollar that it had put into
the light plant building, equipment
and for all payments made to the
Interstate Power and Light Com
pany. We stated that unless the
company from New York was in a
position to guaranty satisfactory
light service also reasonable opera
ton of the mill, that we recommend
the Town retain the plant.
AS soon as we saw that any OPP
position had developed we at once
withdrew our offer and wish to
state emphatically that we are not
interested in the sale of the light
plant under any consideration.
For your further information
wish to state that with ONE ex-
ception the council and Mayor ex-
pressed themselves as favorable to
our offer. The letter covering our
offer is on file at the city hall and
suggest you read same at once.
l am forwarding a copy OF this
article to our Mr.. Rasmussen for
any action he may wish to take
but in the mean time ! wish to state
that unless you make editorial re-
pudiation of the insinuations made
by Dygert in your next issue you
may discontinue our ad and sub
scription at once.
regret that l find it necessary
to take this stand and l suggest
that in the future you check the
authenticity of this mans articles
if you find it necessary to clutter
up your paper with his rot.
Yours very truly,

no reputation of Mr.. Dygert's ar

article stating his convictions on
certain city affairs and any griev-
ances should be addressed to him.
The Sentinel, in it's widest sense,

No one has ever been denied the
use of it's columns so long as the
communication did not bear the

Appeal from Kings Daughters

The Kings Daughters issue
this appeal through Mrs. r. B.
Lawson:
"The Kings Daughters again
wish to ask the people of Chapel
Hill to remember that the Neg
roes who live here, as well as
the students, must have employ
ment. 1t is their home, and the
community tells you to stay in
your home town and get en-
ployment. Also, many of them
are taxpayers, and if they can
not get employment they cannot
pay their taxes. Therefore the
county and town cannot function
unless we who do pay pay more.
1T means that we who live
here must give them work or
food. 1t Is up TO you Wnlch IL
shall be. If you want anyone to
wash, polish floors, cut grass,
wash windows. etc, call Mrs.
Lawson (tel. 646D or the Wei
fare Office (tel. 681D, and we
will supply you with help. The
Negro breadwinners are the
towns responsibility, the stu
dents are the University's re-
sponsibility."

Hobbs Views on Tax
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Although | have no children
to send to the Chapel Hill High
school shall gladly support the
supplement through taxation, be-
cause | know that frst-class
school cannot be operated upon
the present arrangement. If we
do not quickly change the pres
ent tenor of the public mind up
on this question we will find our
selves in an extremely sorry
plight. We cannot afford to
pay the starvation wages to
teachers we are now proposing
to pay without inviting disaster.
There has always been in
North Carolina, as wen as else
where, an element which has op-
posed all forms of Cooperative
social enterprise, orr at least
wanted to reduce it toErnpotence
by niggardly financial support.
This element was driven to COW
er by vigorous leadership in the
other direction, but it has new
er been crushed. The reason it
has crept out into the light of
day now is that it has been join
ed by certain powerful interests
who prefer to cling to their eX-
orbitant profits even at the sac
rifice of the social order under
whose egis they are able to op-
crate.
! feel that we must have a
good police and court system, a
good public health department, a
good fire department, a good de-
partment to handle streets, wat
er, lights, sewers, etc, and a
good system of public schools, in
which all children will get the
best opportunities for an educa-
tion which we can devise. If we
fall down in these things it
means that we have no public
spirit, but, to the contrary, pre-
fer to grasp all we can from a
system made possible by the CO.
operation of others, while we
hold aloof as far as possible.

crate our cooperative enterpris-
es in line with the best economy,
but it is false economy to pay
teachers any such wage as is
represented by the state scale.
AS a matter of fact, we are too
lazy to enforce real economy, but
prefer to take it out on the OBJ
vious things which take no
knowledge or wisdom to find. /
do not believe that it is possible
to run high school here or any
where else on the money which
the state is willing to put up,
without sacrificing most Of the
things which make our school
worth while.
And we actually consider the
proposition of wrecking the
schools at the very threshold of
the time when we must as a
people begin to think ourselves
along the hard road of economic
and social readjustment. In our
past history we have not taken
education seriously because 1T
was not necessary. 1t was real
ly necessary, but we could not
see it. We thought we could eat
our cake and have it too, but dis
cover that it was not so.
Now, above all times in the
past, we have got to have our
people educated to think out our
problems and take part in their
settlement if we wish to avoid a
real crash. But we will not ac-
complish this by listening to
the croaks of those who would
tell us that now is the time to
crush the schools. We can much
better afford to get along with
less to eat, less to wear, less to
spend on cars and all other trap
pings of prestige, than we can
on poorer schools. At least, this
is the way | feel about it.
