ALASKANS IN SEATTLE COME TO AID OF GIRLS SENT TO YUKON EXPOSITION

Quiet and dignified Sigrid Sen pala Of Fairbanks, whose Daddy holds more trophies for winning dog races than any man in all All aska today, says she thinks that what this country needs is better homes and bigger families Alyce Gustafson of Petersburg, a good listener. likes to hear both sides of an argument before making deci- sion and I'm convinced that she has missed her calling. She should have studied to be a "Portia" tor her legal mind is evident in every thing she says
 Appreciation of Music
 Miss Cordova", Gail Osborne, has a rare appreciation of music and referred often to her old music teacher, Lewis Rudolph, who helped the youth of the Copper River met ropolis understand the beauty of the great masters. When later, at the Symphony Concert at the Metro politan Theater, she listened to the harp, cellos and yiolins, and watch ed the mastery of the baton of Basil Cameron, tears came to her eyes as she thought of MT. Rudolph and how glad he would have been that she was enjoying all the marvellous instruments he had told her about.
 Wrangell Girl Praised
 The sunniest of the group was snappy-eyed little Angeline Burnett of Wrangell, care-free and happy, while Annie Hotolitsky of Unalaska was just the opposite, serious mind ed, but eager for fun although very dignified and gracious. Ella Day of Seward was so busy with her studies at the University that we didn't see much of her, but she was a great favorite with the girls.
 The grownups in Alaska should be very proud of the girls they sent to represent their cities-not single coarse remark passed their lips-always good, wholesome fun or bits of wisdom which reflected philosophy of life most encourag- ing in these days of loose thinking and acting. It is no wonder that when the night came to pick the "Queen" of them all the judges were stumped. After simmering the choice between the girls down to two out of the group, they finally Tipped a coin to decide the winner, for, from the standpoint of poise and charm they were hopelessly tied on Miss Petersburg and Miss Fairbanks the latter winning"

 AS it is believed the fillet of sole sells for only 25 or 30 cents in re- tail fish markets in Seattle and on the east coast, 1t is undetermined whether fish shipped from here ,an compete with that taken from oth- CT areas. The first shipment will be made on the southBound Northland 
 Both men said that there appears to be an abundance of the fish in waters near Ketchikan.

Christmas Seals Carry
 On Tuberculosis Fight

Donations totaling $6,46O were made by the Alaska Tuberculosis Association in l936-37 to the Terri torial Health Department, in the campaign against the white plague.
 These donations helped finance a ubercular survey of all Alaska school children, it is reported by F. C. Hanford, chairman of the Chris mas seal sale in Wrangell.
 The survey was made by Dr. J, H. Carswell, epidemiologist of the territorial health department, with an assistant supervisor and a nurse.
 In Wrangell the survey was made with the cooperation of Dr. J. H. Clements. For cases requiring the use of the X-ray, the Bishop Rowe General Hospital X-ray machine was used free of charge.
 Funds collected in the current Christmas seal sale will be used to carry on the fight against tubercul- osis. Though sales have Jagged SC far in Wrangell it is confidently ex- pected that Wrangell as usual will in the end give good support to this worthy cause.

Mumps Patients Give
 MaIady Dr. Clements

After caring for humps patients for the past four months. pr. J. H. Clements succumbed yesterday to the malady and is taking his turn at ha ting a swelled head.
 The epidemic has progressed slow ly in Wrangell. It made it's appear ance in the public school shortly after the term opened in September and since then a few pupils have been out of school continuously and attendance in all grades has been broken.
 At Wrangell Institute, a student became ill a few days after his arri- val there this fall. He was isolated at the Health Center and as the period of incubation is long-from IA to IS days-two weeks later four or five more were ill; Today there are three humps cases at the health center, making a total of 53 in all, that Miss Agnes Breen, head of the department, has had in charge since the opening of school. Besides the humps cases Miss Breen has had 45 other patients to care for in thls time.
 While the humps epidemic has been confined in Wrangell mostly to children and high school students several grownups have also joined in. Among these recently were George Silver, Mrs. Kirtland, and Mrs. Mundy and at present Leo Osterman and pr. Clements.

Today fish house workers are stripping the skin and bones from sole landed yesterday by the halibut boat Sentinel in preparation for making the first shipment of frozen fillet of sole ever sent to a southern market from Ketchikan states the December 8th issue of the Chronicle.
 The experiment - undertaken under a cooperative agreement of the Ketchikan Cold Storage company, Northern Fisheries and Captain L. P. Sutherland, owner of the Sentinel, and his crew-possibly may result in the establishment of an industry that will lengthen ma- terially Ketchikan's fishing sea- son."
 Although J. H. Rollie president of Northern Fisheries, and J. w. Me- denhall, manager of the cold stor- age, said that it Is entirely unde- termined whether the enterprise will prove profitable, they hope that it will be so that local halibut fisher men, who now fish only during a short season, can operate during the winter months,
 MT. Mepdenhall and MT. Rolie poin- ted out that, should the fishing de- velop, it probably would be done only during the winter months as during the summer, it undoubtedly would not be as profitable as hali- but fishing.

I've been thinkin," said Lulu B. Fairbanks last week in her column of that name in the Alaska Weekly, Seattle, that I'll never forget the ire that flashed in the Irish eyes Of Pat Cotter, when he heard that the management. or MIS-manage- ment rather, of the AlaskaYukOn Exposition, had notined the girls from Alaska on the third day of the show that it would no longer be responsible for their bills because of lack of funds.
 "Pat and Earle Knight immediate ly went into a huddle, calling in Terry McGovern of the Alaska Bu feau of the Chamber of Commerce; Volney Richmond of the Northern Commercial Company; Glen Caring ton of Darlington & Jones; Jim Frank of the National Grocery, and Art Ellsworth of the Canned Salmon Industry. About the same time Capt. Wallace Langley of the Santa Ana S. S. Co.,, Jack Reagh, and Tom Will SOn NnO iOuIuCu JllC LOh II OL CAlCA , dropped into the office. Tn less time than it takes to tell it they all had produced funds to give those eight "Princesses from Alaska" the time of their lives and appointed a chap eron to attend them the balance of the week For the first time in my life I could wave my Fairy" wand when the girls popped a new idea and grant their every wish, thanks to the business men of this city who are deeply chagrined over the fail ure of the promoters to fulfill the big plans they had in mind when the Exposition was started. While in no way responsible for the prom ises made to the Alaska towns which sent girls, they were determined not to permit the girls trip to Seattle to me ruined because they had been thrown overheard by non-respon- sible group who had not only let them down but also that splendid group of Alaska Yukon Pioneers who were sincere in their efforts to raise funds for the noble statue of the Pioneer which will some day stand on Alaskan Way on the water front to commemorate the days of '98.

Regarding securities, the sole ex-

to Chancellor Hitler's future policy.
which have not yet been allayed. the
commodities are affected by this factor
also, and by fears of the possible effect
on trade and transport if the worst
apprehensions arising from strikes in
the United States are fulfilled.
Nevertheless, securities and CON-
modities both end fluctuating week
stronger in tone, especially copper
under the sentimental stimulus of a
price reaching ESQ per ton.
The markets remain under European
political influences, but reveal sound
internal position, capable of responding
quickly and sensitively to any change
in the Spanish outlook. Clouds in the
background are the growing economic
strain in Germany and the continued
government borrowing and also the
increase in note circulation in France.
The question is asked whether Premier
Blum can win his race against time
to restore a balance to the French
budget.
Meanwhile, home expansion con-
tinues, positively if unobtrusively, the
extra Christmas currency circulation
returning unusually slowly and leading
banks all showing expanding profits.
Rail freight traffic continues well sus-
tanned, with the demand for shipping
freight growing. Altogether, there is
every sign of good progress, while the
widespread influenza causes only a
hampering inconvenience.
