WyCkOff Asks Public
 To Preserve Property

One of the major objectives in connection with the operation of the Civilian Conservation Corps in Aaska-more commonly referred to as the CCC-has been the intensive development of recreational areas adjacent to established settlements or the recreational use of residents AIaskans, as we'll as for others. The projects cover a wide range of pos sible use. The developments su h as water systems. community bui d ings, auto parking plots, picnicki1s fire places and tables and other convenienees involve a considerable cost in labor and materials.
 The Forest Service, under whose supervision this work is being car ried on, is firmly convinced thai the return to the public in provid- ing these facilities is well worth the cost and hopes to perfect each unit to the point where the resi- dents of each community will find pleasure in making use of the fac ilities offered.
 The construction of a community building at the Wrangell Unit has met with favorable comment and although not quite completed has already been used. This use has not shown the concern expect ] from those one would think were most interested in maintaining pub lie property in use and appearance. Already visitors have used the log walls as axe holders. They have chopped the top rails and shot 22 caliber bullets through the roof. They have also chopped down trees of unusual beauty for use as fire wood. The problem confronting the Forest Service is therefore not alone one of the cost of establish ing these recreational facilities but of maintaining them in attractive form after they are available to public use.
 It is hoped that the residents of Wrangell, who find pleasure in the use of the several facilities at the park will take a deep interest in their preservation. The ownership lies with the public and everyone enjoying the ownership should take deep pride in maintaining the standard of quality as though it was his or her private home. With out this cooperation I am afraid the Wrangell Recreational Unit VIII soon cease to be desirable place to spend a pleasant day.

More Funds Sought For
 Relief In FIOOb Area

Increasing need for relief in the flood stricken a 'eas of the east re suited in a request from national headquarters addressed to r. G.. Hanford, chairman Wrangell Chap ter of the American Red Cross. to raise at least 50 per cent more than it's assigned quota of $l0O.
 Through the efforts of H. D.. Campbell. Wrangell collections had already amounted to more thae $50. Since then volunteer con trihutions handed to Mr. CampbCl have made the total collection just a few cents short of $200. Further contributions W h i C h undoubtedly will be made in the next day or two, will bring Wrangell's response to the needs of the victims in the stricken areas, to more than on9 hundred per cent increase of the first quota,
 1000 In Need
 This weeks telegram from Ad- miral Cary T. Grayson, head of the American Red Cross, said: "Since original flood relief fund quotas as signed, flooded area and number or victims has heen doubled. Latest reports our relief directors now in field place total number men, wom- en and children looking to Red Cross for immediate emergency re lief at 3S7,000 with every likeli- hood this figure will increase as flood crests continue. To meet clear and essential Red Cross obli- cations to these suffering fellow citizens 1t Is now imperative We ask you to make every possible effort to secure relief contributions eX- ceeding your original chapter ouota by at least 50 per cent
 As flood waters recede some ar eas we must continue to feed, shel- ter and clothe homeless refugees also extend medical n d nursing care In order prevent epidemics This will continue indefinitely un- til Red Cross can aid in repairing damaged homes and victims can re- turn to normal living. Feel con fident people your community wi l wish increase contributions prompt ly and generously in order this emergent human need be met"
 Alaska's first quota was $500. later increased to s2700. Full re- ports are not in, but 1t is known that Juneau and Ketchikan have wired in their quotas of $400 and $500, respectively, with assurance of increased quotas and there is no question that the full quota will be raised,

Strange but true, fish ducks and sea gulls do know their automo- piles. All day these divers and gulls swim along the shore while traffic passes near by but just let a cer- tain V-S come along and every fish duck makes a long fancy dive and the gulls gain altitude amazingly fast. l guess they just don't like V-S's.
 Speaking of ducks reminds me If the rumors about town that ducks have never been more tame or plentiful than now Even new flocks from the south have shown up. Strange but this has all hap pened since Ernie Campbell anG Harry Coulter boarded the steamer south bound. Also, gasboat gossip has dropped off fifty per cent.

JEAN MUIR IN MATURE ROLE
 AT COLISEUM
W e Il known Young Star Adopts Sedate Coilffure for Orchids to You

Orchids to You" starring Jean Muir, plays tonight at the Coliseum Theatre.
 It is Miss Muirs first attempt at a mature role The heroine of the picture is a florist, who has built up a highly successful business in a big metropolis, and Miss Muir, though she liked the part, was re- ported to be a trifle dubious about her ability to look old enough How ever, more sedate coiffure and smart businesswoman costumes, achieved the transformation, and the role is said to be one of Miss Muir's most successful achieve ments.
 John Boles and Charles Butter worth have the other leading roles in Orchids to You with Ruth elma Stevens Harvey Stephens. and Arthur Lake.
