Central High, 31-22. was toss

Ham" Smith recognized his
ability.
When Ham," as Mr.. Smith is
known to numerous SportS-in-
clined gentlemen, first placed his
critical eyes on Jim he said
enthusiastically:
There's a lad that will 60

son went a long way.
He was selected en- the myth
ical all-high team while display
ing his wares with Western High
and was picked on the ALI
Southern Conference team last
year while performing with the
crack Duke University quintet
which was considered one of the
finest college aggregations past
the Mason-Dixon Line.
Last night Jim gave marvel
Gus exhibition of high class bas-
ketball playing. He sunk l3
points, four field goals and five
foul shots. and played one of the
greatest floor games local court
enthusiasts have seen around this
section in many moons. He broke
up at least IA Sholl'S passes be-
sides aiding his teammates to
score field goals with his accurate
passing.
Joe Lynch, Bureau of Investiga-
tion stellar guard, also showed he
knew what this basketball game is
all about. He registered nine mark
ers.
Diminutive Bobby Lucas. for
mer Business High ace, stood out
for the losers. He not only
scored six points but he played
o great defensive game.
The Sleuths ran up nine points
against the Sholl's tossers before
the game was three minutes old.
However, the Shollmen came to
life during the second quarter
and added IL points.
Bureau of Investigation held a
18-to-12 advantage at lntermlS-

where the so-called "fads and frills' are taught. This, they will be re- minded, will create a caste system which will retard, if not destroy, the advance civilization has made.
 Education, the greatest enterprise and the greatest undertaking in all the world, now has most every other undertaking dependent upon it for success. Our secondary schools, under the circumstances, are no less important than our elementary schools and as the scale of progress ascends each higher level of educa- tion becomes equally important with all the others.
 There are many improvements to be made in curricula and admins tration of our secondary schools. So there are in all things. Keep the going and other social prob lems will grow less difficult.

DANCE PROGRAM REVEALS
 LIVELY TOWN 30 YEARS AGO

James H. Wheeler, ST, this week came across a dance program, a sou venir of Wrangell thirty years ago. The program states that it is the First Ball of Wrangell Founders. ' The place was the Wrangell Hotel Hall, the time. January II, 1904. Dancing started at S:SO and MT. Wheeler declares that it really did start at that hour; that the young people of those days were too eager to get started dancing to wait until from 10:3O to 11:90 as they do now.
 The officers of the Founders were Thomas Maloney, president; J. H. Davis, vice president; Miss Fannie Thomas, secretary and J. H. Wheeler, treasurer. Members of the committees for the dance were Mrs Carlyon, Mrs. Klingbeil, Mrs. Col lins, Miss Fannie Thomas, Miss

INDICATIONS POINT TO BANNER
 FISHING YEAR BRIT. COLUMBIA

NANAIMO, Sept. indications point to a banner year in the fish ing industry, according to J. F. Tait, supervisor of fisheries, with offices in Nanaimo, recently report ed the Vancouver Province.
 Practically all seine boats are now fishing for sockeye salmon at where a good run which started August 1 5 in the Straits of Juan de Fuca, is reported. To date this year the catch has exceeded any similar period since 1890. A very successful season is reported in No. district Vancouver Island, where there is an excellent run of sockeye and a good run of pink salmon.
 Seven hundred boats are trawling on the west coast. There is a good run of cohoe and spring salmon in that district, and as a result of higher prices being paid than for several years, some of the trawlers have already made $7000 each this year. Pilchards on the west coast arrived in unusual abundance this year, appearing in all of the areas on the west coast. They are mostly sent to reducing plants, who two oanneries on the west coast are can hing pilchards.
 Up to August 25 SIX reduction plants made a total catch of 27,821 green tons, that have produced 980,S05 gallons of oil and 5134 tons of high-grade meal used as cattle and poultry feed and for other pur- poses. The canneries have produced 4,100 cases since July 10.
 The halibut season was consider ed very successful according to the inspector of fisheries and, owing to leavy catches landed in local waters md up the coast as far as Prince Rupert, the season was closed Aug ust 19. Cod and miscellaneous fish ing has been attended with the usual success, he states.

YOUNG NEW YORK LAWYER
 BLAZES TRAIL IN OWN PLANE

Two weeks ago Frederick Billings Lee, youthful New York attorney, started on a vacation. He decided to do a little trail blazing. An anna teur flyer, he climbed into the open cockpit of his single place Travel air plane and took off from Floyd Bennett Field.
 He was in Seattle recently on the return trip from the Far North. Flying alone he had journeyed up the Fraser River and on to White horse, to Fairbanks, Nome and Kot- zebue on the Arctic Ocean.
 His plane was not equipped with pontoons so he stayed inland-as much as possible.
 Sitting before a sheaf of maps, he described his trip and tried to

events of the ohnson-Whitehead wedding were given Friday eve ming when pr. Whitehead enter tained the men of his party at dinner at the Wrangell hotel and Miss Johnson was hostess at a din- ner in her home to her bridesmaids
 The hotel dining room was es- pecially decorated in flowers in Dr Whitehead's honor and all appoint ments of his table were beautifully arranged
 Miss Johnson served a three course dinner at a candle lighted table The place cards were little silver standards of wedding bells and lilies of the valley.
 Both Dr. Whitehead and Miss Johnson presented their attendants with gifts of Alaska ivory engraved with the initials of the bride and bridegroom elect, the date of the wedding and the initials of each -ecipient
 Following the dinner at the hotel the men joined the party at the Johnson home for the remainder of the evening.

decide whether to fly East by the northern route, or to retrace his original route through Salt Lake City and Des Moines.
 q guess I'll go by the North" he grinned. T haven't been over that way before but they say it's pretty nice. Anyhow. therell be a pasture now and then to come down in. You cant say that for Alaska.
 Boy, what country to fly over! Once you get over the mountains near the coast there's nothing but tundra and rocks. I kept watching for sand bars in the rivers, but I'd hate to land on them. I came out to the Coast in two and half days from New York. but took it easy in Alaska.
 "The fishing was terrible in Nome. At least I didn't catch any thing. I flew out across the straits to have a look at Siberia on the way.
 "They told me there was a land ing field at Kotzebue. ! thought it was the main street at first, but l managed to get down all right.
 "The worst weatne. l had was in the mountains of British Colum- bia coming back. The ceiling was away down and the valleys were full of smoke from forest fires. It was like going through a tunnel after a train"

AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOLS

The celebration of the 300th an- niversary of the American high schools, to be opened this fall and continued through the school year 1934-5, commends itself to every thoughtful citizen. Schools and civic bodies are busily working out plans to make this an outstanding event in recognition of the potential so- cial values of not only our high schools but of education in gener- al The plans include ceremonies. orations, pageants, parades, exhibi- tions and other modes of bringing out the facts associated with the work of our high schools.
 There is a woeful and tragic lack of intelligence these days as to the values of education to free institu- tions in this complex age. Strange as it would seem, many business men are as badly informed as to these values as the average man of his community, or as many educa- tors are of business matters. This appears to obtain despite the fact
  universities are the creations of some of our most successful busi- ness men, those broad-gauged busi- ness men who with humanitarian instincts and long-range outlook have always seen the relation of education to increased business and the advancement of civilization through free institutions.
 Today when the doings and swag- gering of dictators are filling the columns of the press; when some of the poor and discontented are talk ing Communism and some of the rich, Fascism; when the suppress sion of civil authority has become commonplace in parts of the world, here in the United States where civil liberties are our proudest tra- dition, the responsibility of the public schools, the sustaining factor of democracy, grows increasingly greater
 Democracy, that system of civil government which determines the will and the best interests of it's constituents, through free express sion of popular opinion, must main tain high level of critical intelli- gence.
 Those who, under the guise of civic workers or members of tax payers leagues, have. attacked pub lie education for it's alleged "fads and frills" will be met face to face in a discussion of the essentials in modern education. They, in the presence of many of those who have been misled will be told that a knowledge of the three R's alone is not enough preparation for a child to meet conditions in this rapidly changing world; that in prepara- tion as public education is restrict ed in it's curricula those parents who can afford to do so will send their children to private schools
