One day particularly smart car
toon hit the news stands and at
least a half dozen of the thirty or
forty newspaper women came to
class with the magazine that con-
tanned it,
The country then still was liter
ally gaSping over the brand new
idea of a Presidents wife who might
show up anywhere, by land, water
or air, and the artist aptly hit off
this national alnazement by show
ing two coal miners gazing up
aghaSt at their tunnel opening.
MY God" said one of them,
here comes Mrs. Roosevelt"
Mrs. Roosevelt did delve into
West Virginia mining districts in
cognito, with a welfare worker in a
battered flivver. She observed. She
asked questions. She gathered
mass of f1rst-hand information.
Weeks after the project of a post
office furniture factory combined
with subsistence farming on an old
plantation near Morgantown had
apparently leaped, full-fledged,
from the public works administra-
tor, we wangled the true story
from Mrs. Roosevelt.

PHOTOGRAPHY IS HOBBY OF
 LOCAL SIGNAL CORPS MAN

C. W. DeRemer. who was sent to Nrangell last month to serve in the Signal Corps office. pursues his hobby of photographic work during his hours off duty.
 He learned how to develop kodak films and print pictures when a youngster in order to get satisfae- tory results from his kodak. Later on he attended the Signal Corps school maintained by the United States Army at Monmouth. New Jersey, entering the photography de- partment where he was required to put in a year of hard study.
 Since that time his photographic work has been a source of much pleasure and pride. During his first term of service in the Alaska Signal Corps some years ago. he began to make a business out of printing and developing films and portrait work in all it's phases.
 He beams when Wrangell custo- mers express appreciation of his work and frowns whenever it is pointed out that one can send films away and get a roll developed for ten cents at a saving of five cents roll over DeRemer's prices and get prints made a cent a piece cheaper.
 His answer is that he is nor competing in price but in service and quality. A roll of films is de- yeloped and printed 24 hours after being received, and only the best of chemicals are used.
 Babies are his speciality in DOT trait work and as he had the mis- fortune to damage his camera after arriving here necessitating it's being sent to the States for repair, number of Wrangell mothers are feeling quite annoyed. They want ed to capture the baby's likeness at a certain point and a child won't wait for a camera; he keeps on cut ting more teeth and growing more hair. However. on the premise that all Wrangell children are unusu- ally good looking. MT DeRemer is confident of getting some satisfac- tory pictures no matter how long his camera is delayed in being re- turned to him.
