The town council at it's regular meeting last night took action for the rebuilding of Front Street ny rsine PWA funds available for pr3- 5sets 4455 and i4SS which will be applied on an amended Front street program as far as the funds will provide. With the surplus of the PWA waterworks funds there will be available approXlmately twenty eight or twenty-nine thousand dol. lars.
 According to the engineers esti- mate this sum will provide a con- nlete new street from the cold stor- age plant to the slab section.

 The authorization is the resuu of the action of the Chambers e Commerce in Southeastern Alaska, working both separately and ta- gether in the fight for better mall service. The Wrangell Chamber of Commerce did it's full share in voia- ing the indignation of the cum munity over the curtailment of mail privileges and in presenting the re quest of citizens to the postal au- thorities for a full mail contract to the Northland steamers.

DEAN RICE CHALLENGES
 BISHOP R0WE'S CRITICISM
(Juneau EmpireD

The Rev. Charles E. Rice, Dean of Holy Trinity Cathedral, who has spent eight years working among the Indians of Alaska, and fifteen years among the whites. comment ing on Bishop Rowe's statement as quoted yesterday in The Empire i'll an Associated Press dispatch, today said: T do not question the loyalty of the Indians; but in behalf of the very many earnest, devoted and sin cere Christians all over Alaska l do protest against his statement that the whites take everything and give n1thing.'
 As at least 75 percent of the mis- sionaly appropriations for Alaska, are and have been spent on the In- dians, and at least 95 percent of the contributions from Alaskan missions have come from the whites. the Bishops statement is not borne out by facts"
 Others Disagree
 The seven members of the Juneau and Douglas Ministerial Association whose president is Dean of the cathedral, and who represent a tU- tai service of 95 years in the white and Indian churches of Alaska, feel that they must disagree with the reported statement of Bishop Rowe relative to the religious interest and devotion of the whites and Indians in Alaska, among the various de- nominational bodies they represent "The facts are that the Indians re- eeiye much and the whites compara- lively little, while the Indians give but little and the whites give by far the most and as to religious deyo. tion. there are both Indians and whites above reproach, with others in both groups far from what they should be-"
 In New York City, on Sunday, the Right Reverend Peter Trimble Rowe, Protestant Episcopal Bishop of AL aska, at a service in the Cathedral of St. John The Divine, said that the Indians of Alaska crawl to church if necessary for their religion and "The white people are just the same there as everywhere. They make me a little tired. They are ready to take everything and give nothing. Alas kan Indians take their religion seri- ously-"

CHUB's RECREATION ROOM IS
 POPULAR WITH YOUNG PEOPLE

Lunch service was discontinued this week at Chub's Place, Melvin Skelton, the young proprietor, stat ing that the home made pastries, naked ham, etc., which made the lunch counter a popular item, was too much work for his mother ana pending volunteer service from some other good cook, he can not fill lunch orders.
 An increasingly popular feature of Chub's Place is the recreation room of the establishment. Young people particularly, enjoy the card games, pool tables and dancing. Skelton has recently installed an electric photograph which changes records automatically. The records are amplified through radio tubes and a loud speaker with volume control. It very successfully furnishes the music for informal dancing

Institute HOOpSterS
 To Invade Town TOnite

The NrangeIl Institute HoopsteIs will invade the City tomorrow night to encounter again the Wrangell Town Team in a determined effort to wipe out their defeat of three weeks ago.
 Inasmuch as both teams have been ,ractising strenuously to perfect their system, the games promises to be as close as the last one but with less roughress and only moderate scoring.
 Morris Grant, Institutes stalwart center. after his stellar work in the game Of three weeks ago, will bear watching by Center John EyersoH, of the Town team.
 Both teams are confident of vic tory. The town boys are sure they can cope with the Institutes fiv9 man defense while the invaders feel that the town team is too badly weakened without Fred Grant and Laurie Brood, who are not in town to be much of a menace.
 It is anticipated that the game will be played before a capacity house.
