MRS. HARRY SWIFT IN CALF

Harry Swift came in last week
from Deweyville where he has been
for the past year. Just as he was
getting ready to leave for his home
in San Francisco last Nov, he re-
ceived word that his wife had passed
away on November from ptomaine
poisoning. On his arrival here he
found that the letter containing the
sad news which he had written to
Wrangell friends and given to a fish
erman for mailing, had not been re-
ceived.
Mrs. Swift was a resident of
Wrangell for several years. She was
younger sister of the late Mrs.
Roy Cole and was one of triplet sis
tiers, the other two surviving her.
Her death occurred a few days be-
fore Mrs. Cole passed away in Seat
tie, and the ashes OF both were de-
posted at the same time in the niche
where the urn with the ashes of
their mother reposes in San Fran
cisco.

mems Civic Club will be held at the
high school Saturday afternoon at
o'clock.

coming year, will be a part of the
order of business.

will be made to cover the cost of
materials. If any money is left owe
it will be turned into the fund to
purchase recreation equipment, as

ceipts were $40 more than the cost
of the food served.

twenty-first birthday of the club
and the charter members still living
in Wrangell have been invited as
honor guests of the luncheon. These
are Mrs. Oscar Carlson, Mrs. ]. G.

departments, public library, school
and recreation. 1t is felt that all
are important community projects.

departments have the same objec-
tives, as the school committee is
concerned chiefly in getting the
school playfield equipped with a
tennis court and baseball diamond
for the older children and young
people, and teeter totters, slides,
etc, for the smaller ones, so that a
recreation center may be established
within the city limits
The recreation department so far
has been concerned in supervision
of the city park, and in getting the
bathing beaches in readiness.
Any woman in Wrangell who is
interested in these or any other
projects falling under the head of
community welfare which may come
up from time to time, is invited to
attend the luncheon tomorrow
1t is important that the names of
those who plan to attend are hand
ed in to Mrs. Wheeler by 10 o'clock
tonight.
