who is as quick on the verbal trigger
as Joan herself. It is in this snappy
atmosphere of lively repartee that
their romance blossoms, only to hit q
snag when Joan believes her lover to
have instigated her arrest when &C.
cused Of being the accomplish Of a
band Of crooks. It Is in the latter
situation that Joan is afforded her

bold robbery. a kidnapping and q
hair raising battle with q crew OF

A party of thirty-five friends of Mrs. Lula Chapin's descended on her home last Saturday night for farewell surprise party. The self invited friends brought quantities of good eats which were served late in the evening. Dancing was the chief amusement of the eve ming.
 Before the party broke up. Mrs Chapin was presented with a gift of money accompanied by the fol lowing verse which had been writ ten by Miss Helen Hofstad and was declared to be the sentiment of all present:
 Friends. and fellow pals, we've gathered here tonight to pay lit tie homage to a friend who's aw- fully white. So here's to Loui she been loyal and true to each of Us gathered here. It's we who grieye that she must leave for we're los ing a friend who's dear. She holds a thought for the underdogs lot. When such a dog is around. she gives her help to the pitiful whelp til he feels he's no longer a hound.
 We wanted a token of these words spoken to send with you on your way: but though we searched the town, we found naught around that seemed the right thing to say. So I suggest. and so do the rest, that you assume the task of buying some toy that may bring you joy. This is the thing We ask All We want to know is wherever you go, in North or South or West you will oft recall this town SC small and remember me with the rest. So let's have a drink and cease to think of partings WIG don't desire. Put 'er in high, lei the top be the sky At least vel meet in the FIRE"

THE CHRISTMAS SEASON

Wrangell is approaching Christ was Day with a cheerful spirit. Merchants stocked more completely and with higher priced goods than they have done for several years, and all report good sales.
 The increase of money in circu- lation is attributed to the good fish runs during both the summer and fall canning seasons. the shrimp and crab canneries and the sawmin payrolls.
 An important factor has been the increase in the take of troll caught salmon. Fishermen say that this is "one of those years" when herring came into the inside wa ters, and accounts for the increase in salmon.
 Another factor in Christmas shopping has been the mild wea- ther. Thermometers on Front street today noon registered at 45 de- grees, which has been about the average temperature of the past weeks.
 hHOHl6uSH OI tue LII CG VI -A projects which will be undertaken this winter by the town has con- tributed to the feeling of optimism which prevails. The favorable out look that the working men will have an opportunity to live on what they earn this winter and not be in debt when fishing starts next year, contributes to a heavier Christmas buying than Wrangell has had for the past two or three years.
 However. there are men in the community who didn't get the breaks this year They do not want charity, but they do need job and those more favorably situated should make an effort to give them the finest kind of gift--the chance to work and earn their own Christ mas money.

NEW DEAL CANDIDATE
(Orlando SentineD

Politically, Claude Pepper has a
peculiar weakness. Many who will vote
for him and who will endorse him will be
unable to convince themselves that Park
Traanmell's- so-called rabbits foot has lost
it's coniure. This is true mainly because
there are five candidates in the race and
furthermore because of the political alert
ness of the incumbent.
However, in some sections there is a
feeling that Pepper will easily outstrip the
other three aspirants and that he will en-
ter the second primary with Mr.. Trammell.
If he is able to get this far, he should be
elected.
Of course Mr.. Trammell has been on
the job long time. But he is not as
popular with the people as he might be.
This new day in government, inspired by
Mr.. Roosevelt, no doubt is going to bring
out more. thoughtful voters than since the
early days of the republic. The old hooey
and hokum to snare voters is rapidly be-
ing replaced with a desire on the part of
the people to hear some logic.

FACES RESIGNATION
(Orlando Reporter-Star)

(OrlandO Reporter-Star)
Marcus Fagg is a good man. He has
accomplished great work in building up
the Children's Home at Jacksonville. That
seems to be his sphere. Considerable sur
prise was expressed by his friends when
he was appointed to and accepted the post
of executive officer of CWA operations in
Florida
Stepping out of job he knew into
one that was entirely new to him in most
of its features and detail, was hazardous
move. Evidently it was not a wise ap-
pointment from any point of view. Fagg
] is honest and enthusiastic, but his training
has not been such as qualified him for this
difficult task Herein lies an unhappy
chapter in his life.
Some way it seemed so easy for adj
ministrators to misunderstood the real pur-
pose of CWA. Employment was the pri-
mary aim. Material was only incidental to
the employment. Nor was it intended
that great overhead should be built up to
provide office jobs at good salaries and
field force beyond actual needs This
seems to be the particular fault laid at the
door of Mr.. Fagg.
Out of the confusion of the statewide
shakeup should come better organization
because experience can be utilized as a
guide. 1t must come if the efforts of the
administration to help the unemployed and
to rekindle business operations are not
frustrated.
"Under the guise of relief and
humanitarianism there is being guilt up in
this state a social service and welfare or
ganization out of all proportion to actual
requirements and with every semblance of
a political racket" This was the written
report of j. P. Newell after having made
a personal investigation. Then he adds:
II can not countenance the exorbitant
salaries paid to many of the professionals,
and the excessive personnel resulting in an
extravagant overhead at the expense of
the needy"
This is plain language. Jim Newell
would not make such report and have it
Incorporated in the minutes of the ex-
ecutive committee unless he was pretty
sure of his grounds. Nor would Chairman
Treadway have used the decisive language
he did concerning certain appointments
unless he knew hwereof he spoke.
1t is inconceivable that the corrosive
influences of politics and the ambition of
professional welfare workers should COM
bine for the promotion of their own par
ticuar interests in such an emergency as
this. But this is what the report amounts
to. Charitable as we are disposed to be
in such matters, we can not, from the in
formation at hand do otherwise than en-
dorse the action of the committee. Pub
lie welfare should come ahead of personal
preferences.
