Institute To Present
 Cantata In Wrangell

The Wrangell Institute s Chorus will sing the Easter cantata, "Redemption's Song" in the Pres byterian church. Sunday morning, April 26. The audience which heard the oantata at the Institute last Sunday was enthusiastic III praise of the effective presentation and Wrangell is fortunate in hay ing the opportunity to hear the pre- sentation in town.
 An offering will be taken at this service for the Relief in the East fro part of the United States fund. The need. which has been caused by the unprecedented flood condi- lions, is dire. In some communi- sies. three-fourths of the people have lost all their worldly goods. In addition, in many cases, the sources of livelihood of these people for the time being have been entire ly eliminated. Places Of business have been totally wrecked. Other equipment by which a living is or dinarily gained has been absolutely destroyed Relief workers state trat the picture of devastation and dos,olation which they have seen and have had reported to them can- not be oyerdrawn.
 The people of Wrangell are in- yiled to attend this musical presen- Iation and make contribution through this offering to their fel- lowmen who must look to others for assistance.

SpOrtSmen'S Corner By the YOUNG WARDEN (Unlicensed Leap Year Guide)

Bachelors demand a closed season but the hunt goes on. As a Leap Year Game Guide, sincerely and un- selfishly devoted to the interests of Dan Cupid and the fair sex of Wrangell residents, I will guide the ladies to another game trail
 The big bad wolf is the next one to be exposed. A fine specimen and worthy provider. though very tricky; in fact, his tricks have baf- fled the neighborhood for years. He has a fine pelt with the exception of one bare spot on the head.
 This critter fishes for a living so al this time of year he spends considerable time at the fishing banks. When at home he can be found feeding at Jenkins.' sleeping at Olsens' and the balance of his time at home is devoted almost el- rirely to pestering his friends.
 He answers to the name of Chamo. Don't argue with him, girls, be"auee it's no use. Just down him and you will have won a fine mat. Don't try any of Dan Cupid's darts. however. His heart has stopped SC many in the past 20 years that it is as full of holes as a piece of Swiss cheese and an arrow could not find resting place. It has been said that the way to a mans heart is through his stomach, and this is literally true for this particular game animal,
 IL will take a week of any lady'5 time to snare him, so I am really giving s-sized job to you ladies; therefore, I'm sure another entry this week would be sadly ne- giected.
 Remember the classic words of Longfcllow girls. and take them tor your battle-cTy;
 Let us then be up and doing
 With a heart for any fate;
 Still achieving, still pursuing
 Learn to labor and to wait"
