Leaving Telegraph Creek on De- tober 27 to come down the Stikine in a 22-foot outboard boat with the expectation of reaching Wran- gell that night Mr. and Mrs. Walter Simpson spent thirty 0ays on the river, most of the time in difficult and dangerous travel, arriving here late Monday.
 The weather was very cold and they were in the first run of slush for 28 miles but they reached the Clearwater to find tht river frozen. They pulled the boat and 600 pounds of dunnage over the jam. thawed the ice from the bottom of the boat and waited at Clearwater in the home of Mrs. Simpsons daughter, Mrs. Clarence Wriggle worth, until November 6 for thaw
 After two days of rain, MT Simp- son, from many years of previous late fall river experience, judged that the rains had cleared the ice from the river and they resumed their journey
 They encountered another jam at Jackson's place which they pulled over that afternoon in the face of a north wind. The next day they started again and after twelve miles of open water found another jam This was only 100 yards across. They pulled over and ar- rived in the canyon, four miles dis tant, to find a three-quarter mile stretch frozen there. By the time they had pulled over it was dusk. They had two miles of water through which the boat could make it's way before they had to pull over a 150-yard jam in the cold, clear moonlight Their objective was to make a trapper's cabin at Scud riv- CT nine miles distant. Three miles further on the river was so bad that Simpson decided to go down side slough. He got well into the stretch and found his way blocked by a partly submerged tree. An eff fort to ram across the tree was un- successful as the boat stuck on center. He worked two hours be- fore freeing the boat Scud river was reached that night and 30 miles of river negotiated the next morning without mishap.
 The next jam was a mile above the Porcupine Simpson maneouv- cred the six-mile Porcupine slough with great difficulty. The water in

the main river backed up and ran over the ice in the slough about one foot deep and ice damned the ent- rance behind them.
 He decided that night to cut his boat down With his only tools an old crosscut saw which he found in an abandoned cabin and his ax he cut the boat, leaving but eight feet of the bow. This made an awK- ward looking craft as the boat was five feet in width. The engine. gaso- line and d trunk were cached at the cabin.
 The remaining outfit was loaded on a sled and pulled on down rlyer for seven miles where they camped cut in the cold and wind on at open bar
 This was on November II. Thir- teen days more of hardship. back breaking toll, every moment of travel dangerous, rations so short that they consisted the last five days of but two slices of bread twice a day, were consumed before they reached the mouth of the sti- kline. Here Simpson found a leaky old skiff which he repaired and with oars made of driftwood made it across to Berger's ranch on Farm Island
 From here word was sent to Wrangell that night of their safe arrival. Jack Fisher broadcast the news over his amateur station K7VF. It was picked up at Prince Rupert and Telegraph Creek much to the relief of friends and rela- tiyes.
 John Simpson at Prince Rupert had become so worried over his brothers fate that he had arranged for a rescue plane to start search ing the next morning.
 Had the Simpsons left one day earlier they would have made that evening on schedule.
 Mr. Simpson gave his hundred pound wife credit for showing the most gallant sports m an h D throughout the ordeal but she dis claimed all praise, stating that she was a prize coward all the way and only her faith in her husbands knowledge of the river and ability as an outdoor man kept her from perishing with fright.
 Mr and Mrs. Simpson took pas sage on the North Sea Thursday for Juneau, enroute to spend the winter at Twin Glacier camp with Miss Mary Joyce.

Italian Churches Give
 Gold To Government

ROME. Nov. 29.-The Italian church dignitaries are enthusiasti- cally supporting national aims and have given ready response to Arch bishop of Monreale's suggestion that churches. monasteries and places of pilgrimage should hand over to the government all the gold treasures presented them by wor shippers and pilgrims. receiving ir return five per cent war loans. This suggestion. it is said, already has been carried out in numerous cases and the patriotic attitude of the clergy has made a deep impression on the populace, to whom papers uphold it as a shining example.
 Italian churches in Italy prossess enormous riches in gold and papers estimate that if all these are turned over to the state and each inhabitant in addition contributes only a little more than two grams of gold, the Bank of Italy's gold reserves would be increased by one million lira which would put Italy in position to hold out against sane tions for a further year.
 Moreover, papers point out that the church possesses large credits abroad in exchange for which the government would be able to offer Italian industrial shares.

Steps Taken To Stop
 Misuse Relief Money

Drastic measures at Ketchikan. says the Chronicle, are being inau- gurated to check misuse of relief money by individuals who are em- ployed by the EZRA. according to a statement issued by R. w. Young, executive secretary of the Ketchi- kan relief administration.
 For one thing, 50 of the $50 men receiving relief there have been denied cash in payment for their work and are being paid off in groceries and necessities. Four men were dismissed from relief pay rolls last week, charges of being drunk having been lodged against them.
 In this connection the city police and the United States marshars of flee are cooperating with the relief agency. Any person who is convict ed of being drunk and disorderly is denned relief and those who are seen drunk, without being arrested. are dismissed until they can show that the intoxicants they drank were not purchased with money from a federal relief check
 Necessities Provided For
 We work on the theory that a man who is on relief and gets drunk used his relief money to buy liquor" the secretary stated. And that is misappropriating money.
 Relief work is furnished to pro- vide the men enough to eat on and to stay alive, nothing more. If they can afford to buy liquor they don't need relief. Therefore, when they are seen drunk it's up to them to prove that they didn't misuse the money they got here"
 A change in the employment plan was also inaugurated with last weeks change of crew. Instead of allowing 50 men 30 hours a week, the administration has picked 80 men and is giving them from 12 to 30 hours each week, each in ratio to his needs. Identification cards have also been issued to men on re- lief, stating how much work they are being allowed.

Sandwiches vary not only in
the type of filling used but also
in the bread chosen. For best
success, the bread should be of
excellent quality and a day old.
Nut bread and bread such as
orange and date bread are de-
licious in themselves and are best
when served with a mild filling
or with only butter. For sharp
cheese, nothing is quite equal to
rye bread. Tinted bread can be
used at parties to carry out a
definite color scheme.
Filings come in such great
variety that every taste can be
pleased. They can be purchased
ready to use for the sandwiches.
If however, for your next Sun
day night supper, you want to try
something different, why not use
a whole meal sandwich. These
are filling and satisfying.
