The school board met Wednesday night and prepared a revised bud get for presentation to the finance committee of the town council in the hope that a general shop course might be added to the school curri- culum. as a part of the vocational education offerd schools under the Smith-Hughes act.
 To further such education the federal government pays half of ! ul time teachers salary. As the Territory will pay three-fourths of the remainder. the salary cost to the town would be but $200. Addi- tional equipment needed woud bring the entire cost to the town for this first year to SS45. This added cost to the school expense the town council felt unable to grant this year.
 Due to the interest manifested by both citizens and students tho board revised it's budget II nov includes only enough equipment in the shop course for hand work. Ju- neau schools took advantage of this Federal aid last year and put in . general shop course which is being further extended this year.

ARB Starts Cannery
 With Red King Pack

The ARB Packing Company started it's second seasons opera. tions at the cannery Wednesday with G. c. Coffin as foreman, by running through approximately l200 one-pound tails of red king salmon, or Royal Chinook, as it is called by the trade.
 Several improvements have been added by MT. Brueger in cannery equipment this year. chief of which is a new No. l high speed Ameri- can Can vacuum machine which draws the air out of the cans by vacuum and then seals. It's capa- city is 15O per minute but it is adjusted to d 100 per minute capa- city for the present.
 The new machinery makes for ef- ficiency of operation and replaces two machines used last year, each with a 42 per minute speed, which were changed back and forth for the different sizes of cans. This year they will be used for the half pound, and one pound flats and for
 
 the quarter-pound cans, the new machine being reserved for one pound tails
 MT. Brueger disposed of his pack of approximately 38,0O0 cases read fly last year. His hand packed reds which catered to the luxury trade, went over big and he could have sold many times over the pack he shipped to market. This year, as last, he is mild curing the largest reds and canning the remainder, the white kings being either frozen or shipped fresh. A guaranteed price of cents a pound straight for reds and cents a pound for white kings, is being received by the fishermen.
 The canrery will machine pack kings until the runs slack off a. bout the middle of June, after which Stikine river sockeyes will be hand packed in July followed by machine packed humpies.

Salmon Adv. Campaign Aids Other Industries

Stabilization of the Alaskan log ging and numbering industry will be an incidental but very real ef- feet of the advertising campaign now being carried on by the Can ned Salmon Industry in the United States. according 10 August Busch mann. one of the old time cannery operators.
 "The women's and farm maga- zines of America may be an unus- ual place to look for aid to logging and mill operations in the Terri tory" Buschmann stated, but this is a perfect point in showing the economic interdependence of Alas ka's leading industries. T h s s how il works. Prosperity of the lumber industry in the North is to very large extent dependent upon purchases by the salmon packers. The lumber mills in the vicinity of Juneau. Wrangell, Petersburg and Ketchikan sell about one-fourth or their output to the eanneries. These canneries take a great deal of ma terial which would otherwise not find a market.
 Tn Southeastern Alaska [ h e were in 1885. 245 floating traps and 29 standing traps. The value of the log material in these traps will average about $2.O00 for float ing and about S3,5OO for standing traps. The value then of log ma terial for floating traps was about S500.000 and for standing traps, a. bout $10O,0O0. Since the life of the standing traps will average a. bout two years, and the floating about four years, there is an an- nual replacement of about $175,0 in log material. In addition to this a large amount of repairs requiring more lumber is necessary during the life of these traps.
 Operation of the lumber indus try would be virtually impossible were it not for the large use of lumber by the salmon packers. Not only is this true of logging, but there is also a very substantial a. mount of lumber used in the con struction and maintenance of the canneries themselves and for such other purposes as box shocks, etc.
 "The purpose of the Canned Sal mon Industry advertising is to in- crease the consumption of Canned salmon in the United States so that he Industry may sell its product On 2 stabilized basis. and not be crip- Dled by the rapidly increasing in- Aux of cheaper foreign salmon, as well as other foreign and domesti fish" Buschmann continued. The success of this effort will not only save for Alaska it's most valuable economic asset. but will protect the market of it's great logging and numbering industry"

school. and the other half to a class of young men over It years old who are not a part Of the school Regular attendance is required.
 The purpose of the work in Wran- gell is not to specialize in any cer- tain type of work. Obviously. the town is too small to offer. for in- stance. a four-year plumbing course to students, or to install a sheet metal department.
 Il is planned. instead, to offer number of short units in such practical subjects as concrete work. the carpentry necessary in building a small house, simple electric wir- ing. brazing and soldering. and simple plumbing repairs.
 Longer units will be given in the study and repair of gasoline en- zines, ignition systems. generator and starters, the use of a lathe and possibly other vocational subjects
 As Supt Rasmussen stated in a re cent article in the Sentinel. ii is the intention to make .his course as practical as possible and to pre- pare the pupil to intelligently make the ordinary repairs that are needed on his house. boat or ear. It is not expected to turn out fin ished plumbers. electricians. car penters or machinists.
