OFFICES PAID TOO MUCH
 SAYS RIDDEN

Senator Henry Roden, independ- ent candidate for Attorney General of Alaska, was a Wrangell visitor last week.
 During his campaign two years ago Mir Roden assailed the various Territorial offices saying that the salaries were too high and ridicu- lously out of proportion to the small amount of work involved. He found fault particularly with the offices of highway engineer and at torney general, believing that they should be abolished or something found for the incumbents to do.
 Last week MT. Roden stated that the highway engineer was now in different position as the last legis- latuTe made him responsible for the Territorial radiophones and with the twenty radio phones now in stalled from Hydaburg to Kotzebue and across almost to the Canadian boundary Mir. Hesse has something 10 do, as there is always one or more phones out of order.
 As to the attorney generals of flee, Mir Roden still maintains that it is overpaid for the amount of la bor involved. He advocates adding other duties to the office. He be- lieyes salaries of $5OOO for the offices Of highway engineer, audi tor, attorney general and com missioner of education and S6,- 900 for the treasurer, besides the long list of office assistants, is too high and at the last legislature in troduced a bill for their reduction. His fellow legislators promptly threw it out, whereupon Mir Roden said, All right, if you want highe. salaries. be consistent; raise the wages of the scrub women of the federal building who come in here and clean up during the night, so that men can come to clean, order ly rooms in the morning; raise their wages from $9O a month to $150." However, he stated he did not hav- any more success in raising the wa ses of janitors and scrubwomer than he did in reducing the salaries of Territorial offices.

May Queen Coronation
 Is COlOrful Ceremony

The A N. B. hall was transform ed into 3 rose garden by Legion Auxiliary members last week for the May dance held Saturday night.
 The entire arch as well as the back wall of the musicians plat form was faced with salal, brought from Etolin Island, and local greens in which were entwined 1900 paper roses fashioned by Auxiliary mem bers. Window boxes of roses were at the edge of the platform sepaFat- ed by trellis of roses. A huge rose covered the center ceiling light of the hall, from which rose colored streamers formed a beautiful cah- opy for the dancers. Other lights were shaded by colorful Japanese parasols and lovely Chinese lan- terms were suspended from the bal comics.
 The coronation of Miss Beryl Cunningham as May Queen was pre- ceded by the singing of "The Rose Room" by Jacqualyn NettletQn in rose costume. She was accom- panied on the piano by Margaret Eyon. Richard Stokes heralded the entrance of the Queen, who cireled the room on the arm of Mayor F. S. Barnes, attended by Miss Sue Smith and Miss Amy Bradley. As the royal party reached the steps to the throne, the Queens crown was pre- scented by Bill Nettleton as page, The mayor crowned Miss Cunning ham May Queen and escorted her to the throne,
 The dance was a delightful event. Music was furnished by the high school orchestra and c. H. Lloyd acted as floor manager.
 The Auxiliary has not yet had a meeting to receive committee re- ports, but it is known that the af- fair was financially successful far beyond expectations.

Girl Scouts Will Have
 Charge Of Poppy Sale

Topples will bloom in Wrangell on Saturday, May 23, glowing on the coats of remembering Ameri- cans in honor of the World War dead. The girls of the local Scout Troup. sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. will offer the poppies on the streets, giving every one an opportunity to pay tribute to the war dead and to help the wars living victims with contribu- tions given for the little red flow CTS.
 The vast program of welfare ane rehabilitation work carried out by the American Legion and Auxiliary draws it's principal support from the poppy. The dimes. quarters and half dollars dropped into the coin boxes of the poppy workers supply the means for local, state and national activities for the ben- efits of disabled veterans and the families left in need through th. Ceath or disability of veterans. The Poppy Day contributions make aid available during the other 364 days of the year to those who still are paying in steady installments the wars bitter debt of suffering and priyation.

 An abundance of spring flowers and plants from Wrangell homes were used to beautify the assembly room and the class colors of blue and white appeared in the letters, Seniors, 36" on the wall back of the platform. The work of decor ating was done by the juniors and q Women's Civic Club committee, the latter having charge, also, of the refreshments at the informal re-
 option which followed the pro- gram.
 The change in boat arrivals duo to the mishap suffered by the North Sea deprived the graduates of their class flower, carnation. and the only girl graduate of the dress she expected for the occasion, but double daffodils made a fair substi- tuition for the carnation buttonuiere of the young men and the young lady appeared in a white tailored model that was quite as effective as Ihe more fluffy type of dress.

w. T HALE SHOWS BENEFITS TO TOWN FROM CANNED SALMON INDUSTRY

Radio X Electric Co.,. Wrangell Sentinel. Wrangell Telephone Co.
 Although the Town of Wrangell was not directly a participant in the money collected by the trans .portation companies, indirectly some of its residents, through dock tolls and longshore work shared in the distribution, and the steamship companies were greatly assisted in maintaining the wonderful service that the Town of Wrangell is now enjoying
 From the above statement, it can readily be Loted that the Canned Salmon Industry is of vital interest to Alaska and it's people,
 Through the cooperation of pTac- tically all of the Canned Salmon Companies, a campaign of newspa- per and magazine advertising is now in force, the principal object and endeayor of which is to ac- quaint the general public of the wonderful food value contained in canned salmon.
 canned salmon IS not only good food, the cost of which is within the reach of all, but it con- tains the vitamins that are neces- sary as a daily article of food
 In order that the industry shall be able to maintain the highest quality in canned salmon, as a unit 1t solicits the assistance of all fishermen, 0 see that only the freshest of salmon Is delivered to the packing plants and in the hand ling and processing of this product it asks the cooperation of all It's em- ployees to adhere to the strictest orders of sanitation, furthermore, it should be a matter of pride to the individual fisherman and cannery employee to personally observe that no can of salmon is passed on to the public that he or she would not Oheerfully recommend as a most dc lectable sea food.
