KANSAS FAMILY ENR0UTE TO
 MATANUSKA VALLEY HOME

Mrs, Lee Marshall, of Westmore- land, Kansas, with her three child ren, Martha, Mary and Willis, were passengers aboard the Yukon We'd nesday on their way to Palmer to join Mr. Marshall, who last year secured one of the tracts left va cant in the Matanuska valley by a departing colonist. MT. Marshall is enthusiastic about the possibili- ties the colony affords for a home and livelihood and is as much pleased with his land as the depart ing colonist was disgruntled.
 Mrs Marshall has been serving as a home economics extension worker for the state of Kansas in Bourbon county, having her head quarters at Fort Scott. She and her husband became interested in AL aska several years ago, through reading the Wrangell Sentinel each week, which led them to reading everything they could get on AL aska in the way of informative books and government pamphlets. Mrs. Marshall todd the Sentinel while the Yukon was in port al Wrangell that she felt the reading she had done had increased the en- joyment of her trip up the coast to Alaska, because she knew more what to expect.

PHONES PLAY
 BIG PART IN
 SALMON PACK

Radio phones played an import ant part in getting up the salmon pack at Wrangell this year.
 A. R. Brueger of the ARB Pack ing Co.,, last year installed a phone on the ARB with such satIsfae- tory results that this yea" he equip ped the other two teuders, ARB S and ARB g. and two seiners. the ARB and ARB ' with full 10- watt sets. The seiner ARB has receiver only This is owned by the company but the complete phones are leased from the North ern Radio Company.
 Each of the stations at Wrangell and Cape Pole has 50 watt set.
 Mir Brueger feels that the radio installations have been a very prof itable investment. They have en- abled him to keep in touch with his boats on scheduled hours. Ten ders have been apprised of drop in the market and stopped from buying fish at a higher price than the market warranted. without los ing money.
 The phones have been very help full in the direction of boats to fish ing locations, preventing their los ing valuable time in useless scout ing trips and enabling them to bring much heavier and more fire quent loads of fish in to the can nery.
 Another valuable feature, states MT. Bruger, was the protection af- forded crews and boats through his contact every few hours with the boats. ne instance was the time that the ARB dropped her rud- der and phoned in for instructions MT. Bruger was able to have her lowed in by one of his own boats, as through the phone he knew that the ARB was nearby

KetChikan Tries First
 Alaska Juvenile Court

Two nineyear old boys appeared before Magistrate J. F. Van Glider Saturday in an action which may result in establishment of the first juvenile court in Alaska, states the Ketchikan Chronicle. The boys went on two boats in search of money On the first one they found only flashlight, and threw it into the bay. On the second boat they ob- tained $61 in cash
 A report of the theft was made and the boys were seen several times near Mahoney street and be- yond, but they escaped into the brush. Otto Sutter, superintendent of the Fidalgo Island Packing com pany, reported that he had found two boys hiding in a scow. Officers Claude Aikens and Jacob Belden- rust apprehended the boys. and af- ter questioning located the money. It had been cached in various pla- ces about the cannery.
 Parents Called In Court
 The next morning the boys and their parents were called before Magistrate Van Glider. Under ter ritorial laws the boys could have been taken before United States Commissioner E. c. Austin and sen tenced to the refOrmatOry. In the past similar cases have not been handled by the city. but Magis- trate Van Glider, after a discussion of the matter with police officials, decided to work out a method of handling them whereby the boys may be shown the error of their ways and not have the stigma of a more severe penalty given them at an early age.
 The boys were placed on proba- tion and must report to the mag istrate once each week until such time as he sees fit to release them. At the time they report he will talk to them and try to determine whether or not they are being properly directed so that they may become responsible citizens.
 All of the stolen money was re- covered except $6 which the boys had spent. The parents have made that amount good.

Wrangell Educators
 Return From Stanford

Charles ". Miller, director of Wrangell Institute, and Mrs. Mil Ter, staff member, returned last week from spending the summer in professional study and contacts. and in enjoyment of. the compan- ionship of their daughter Francis who met them in Seattle and re- turned with them to Portland where she had just completed her sophomore year at Reed College.
 Mir. and Mrs. Miller spent two weeks in Portland. During this time the National Education As sociation met from June 2S to July 2nd. Perfect weather prevailed throughout the sessions and Port land proved to be a very hospitable city.
 The meetings were distributed in twenty or more different meeting places, churches and hoteds being utilized for this purpose, while Portland Auditorium was filled to capacity at general meetings. There are twenty departments of the N. k. A. and some held several ses- sions. Eighteen allied organizations and other groups met in conjun tion with the N. E. A.
 Luncheon and dinner conferences gave the Wrangell educators a chance to meet people informally. They attended symposia and panel ton. Vocational Education, social meetings, where educational lead CTS developed such topics as Su- pervisors and Directors of Instruc- tion, Vocational Education, Social Study and Secondary School Prin- ciples.
 ''It was a stimulating and com- prehensive program" stated MT. Miller on his return here, with opportunities to follow up special ties and to get in touch with those working in the same field. The program provided a broad outlook on educational problems of the whole field with a wide variety of interests. The scope was extensive from kindergarten and primary fields to adult education and CCC programs; ancient languages to vo- cational and industrial arts and special education subjects from. lip

COrdOYa Strike HaltS All Freight Shipments

Fine ,esaoFa Daily Times in it's August 17th issue carried che tol- owing story of the C. R Railroad strike.
 A deadlock between the Copper River Railway Company and mem bers of the striking Transportation Workers Union over wage increase and adjustment of their summe and winter guarantees seemed no further toward settlement today than it was twelve days ago when it was called.
 The entire city is feeling the ef- fleets of the strike in that sympa- thiziEg steamboat workers and local longshoremen are handling no freight through the port of Cordoya anti' the strike it settled. which has caused an embargo on all in. coming supplies.
 Stocks Depleted
 As result stores are depicting their stocks of necessities. with no Way in sight to replace such ar ticles. Eggs have been gone for several days and the supply of bus Ter will be exhausted within two days.
 Some stores are nearly out oG canned milk while others have plen- ty. The general run of canned fruits and vegetables is still plentiful all though some of the more popular of this type of commodity are gona.
 Butchers are getting down to their last cuts of meat and it is not expected to last the week The Model Cafe bakery has flour for about another week.
 Hard liquor shelves seem to be still well stocked but lack of beer stock prevented several dispensar- les from opening this morning.
 Newspaper stock, which is usual ly ordered by the ton by the Daily Times is getting alarmingly low.
 Collins Released
 The only freight shipment del iyered here since the strike went in to effect was one containing mum Der of caskets for the Cordoya Un- dertaking Company.
 Nothing else in the way of sup plies has been landed ill Cordoya since August l, and the last Cop per River and Northwestern train was August from the interior.
 The steamer Curacao, because it is unable to load or discharge freigh. here, has been shifted to Seward until normal flow of traffic is agaln resumed here
 Three days later the Times le ported that the very last drop O.. ale and beer, canned, bottled or barrelled, had been exhausted in Cordova that day.

eut day conditions to supply some what more expensive facilities in the form of elassrooms. laboratories. books, and So on. to give our child fen adequate educational training
 "The people of Alaska should realize that the schools of the Ter. ritory are dependent to very great extent upon taxes paid into the Territorial Treasury by the Canned Salmon Industry. About three quar- ters of the income of the schools in the incorporated towns comes from these taxes and without this support the schools of Alaska could not maintain their present high ac- ademic standards'. Karnes said "The fact that the opening of schools follows the close of the packing season has more signifi- canoe ,than merely the passage of time Without the financial sup port from the fishing and packing of Alaska's salmon. the schools would not be the high ranking ed ucational institutions they are to- day.
 "Not only that, but many famil- ies would be unable to keep their children in attendance. I person ally know of many families along the coast from Ketchikan to An chorage who are able to keep their children in school because of the opportunity for work in the can neries and in fishing during the salmon run

The present high academic stand ing of Alaska's schools is largely due to adequate financial support from the Territorial Treasury, An thonv E. Narnes. Commissioner of Education. declared in a recent in terview. He pointed ont that ap- proXimately three quarters of tha school income is derived from taxes paid by the Canned Salmon Indus try.
 That excellent work is being done in the schools of the Territory is demonstrated by the fact that graduates of our high schools are admitted to leading state univer- sities in the United States without examination, KarHes said. This gives definite proof of the high cal ibre of the teaching and equipment of Alaskas schools.
 Another indication of the qual- ity of Alaskan education is the fact that it is now possible to hire an increasing number of teachers for our schools whose preliminary edu- cation was in the Territory.
 Preachers, schools, and academ- ic work in general. however are definitely dependent upon adequate financial support. While Mark Hop kins may have been correct when he said the ideal school was a log with a good teacher at one end and an eager student at the other, ney- ertheless it is necessary under pres

practice, and extended it to all
other relations. We are most
careful here at the hospital to
avoid anything that appears to
favor any of the children in any
way.
Yet that doesn't mean regi-
mentation or uniformity, either.
For instance. in looking at the
pictures of the babies, you have
probably noticed that they are al
ways apparently dressed alike.
Now that isn't the case at all.
In the first place, newspaper
pictures not printed in color do
not show you how different the
colors usually are. And also the
girls are often dressed up" for
the pictures in similar dresses
because it makes a prettier pic

But, as a matter of fact, here
again we aim for variety without
discrimination. Sometimes they
dress alike, and again sometimes
they dress quite differently.
THE spiritual development of
the children has already be-
gun. On this matter the guard
1ans and the Roman Catholic au-
thorities of the district, as repre-
sented by Father McNally of Cor
bell, are completely agreed.
For instance, the nurses say the
regular prayers every morning,
and the ears of the children are
already attuned to them. They
wear their scapularies or medals
regularly, and on the walls of the
hospital are appropriate religious
pictures and figures.
This is in accordance with the
wishes of the guardians, and espe-
cially OF the devout Judge Vain.
There never has been any ques-

that our hospital be conducted in
every way as Catholic home.

and later they were officially re-

Not everybody knows that the
children pay their regular stipends
for the support of the parish.
These obligations are met from
the children's funds administered
by the guardians, and they are in
proper proportion to the contribu-
tons of other families in the
parish.
And so, you see that it must be

Merry-Go- Round

VXTASHINGTON March 23-The power indus
w try thinks it has suffered some heavy iolts
from the New Deal, but it does not know what is
yet in store for it.
The Federal Power Commission soon will throw
sensational hoodlght on one of the most care
fully guarded secrets of the utility interests-the
cost of distributing electric current
For months FPC accountants have been digging
into utility cost records in % typical cities They
have been under the direct charge of Vice Chair
man Basil Manly, once secretary to the elder Sem
ator La Toilette.
Results of the survey are being guarded closely
but one significant fact has leaked out-that there
are extraordinary and inexpcable variations in dis
trlbuton costs This part of the report is so STAR
ting that it will even astonsh power interests
Some sections of the report so hot that the
commission has been in a dilemma how to handle
them In the first draft there were severe COM
ments on the apparently padded costs. It was fin
ally decided to tone these down and publish the re-
port purely factual matter, letting the public
draw its own differences.
The report not only shows comparative distribute
ing costs in wide range of cities, but also compares
costs in cities where the utilities have monopoly
with costs where they face competition.
The FPC survey is the first of its kind ever made
and sponsored by Colorado's crusading Senator
Costigan He is rot saying publicly but the report
is expected to act as powerful gavanizer of sem
timent for public ownership and wholesale rate re-
auctions.
Uncle DAN ROPER is of the New Deals
~ most irrepressible dners-out The evenings
when the Roper cook must prepare dinner at home
are few and far between. The Secretary of Com
MERGE accepts almost every invitation.
The other day, in fact. he accepted too many
invitations.
He had accepted one to be the guest of honor
at the Belgian embassy. Dinner set for $3.50.
That hour came-no guest of honor Then 8:45,
then 9. and still Secretary Roper.

moustache. looked hopefully toward the door
Finally. at Oils, the ambassador could atand

Il temptation of the Rhineland occupation is Lon

Peace has been the principal industry of the
western end of Switzerland for years and the frugal
profeers of the country will appeal to the League
to punish England for unfair practices
Prophecy is not weakness of these dispatches
but it seems quite safe to say that for the time

smolder, Mussoln got away with it and Hitler is
now getting away with it, thanks to the precedent
of the French refusal to help the British against

They are having another revolution in Spain to
be sure, but the Communists are burning churches
and chopping off heads with all the Joyous ferocity
of so many Nazi Brown Shirts and proving that the
Germans and the Italians would be no better off

There is no war, but neither is there peace. but
the casualty list of the winter is led by the corps of
auditors of the American newspapers who were
crushed by of the heaviest expense accounts
the world has ever known.

play, dropping the Jack of dia-

Now if East were to return the
three of diamonds he would be

East wanted heart return, he

trick with the five of spades.
All he had to do then was to
follow his partners suit directing

Now the contract was a lay
