PUBLIC UTILITIES THRIVE
 UNDER BOARD OF CONTROL

F. G. Hanford, who returned last week from a trip to Seattle, re- ports that Mayor Talbot and Henry Erwick, member of the board of con trol of Ketchikans public utilities were interesting travelling com panions.
 In comparing notes on city own ership of public utilities the Ketch- ikan men stated that the town which two years ago bonded itself for one million dollars to acquire the hydro electric plant, water sys- tenn and telephone system from the Citizens Light and Power Co.,, is well satisfied with the purchase.
 In 1885, the citys first year of operation, the light plant cleared 2 little over $97,000 During the past year it cleared over $107,000. The water department cleared S25,000 in 1886, a four per cent increase over the previous year, and the telephone department cleared $18.000, a per cent increase over the first years operation,
 The utilities are not controlled by the city council but by a board of control consisting of five mem bers who serve without pay two be- ing elected each year.

WrangelI Wins Game
 From Kayhi Quintet

Wrangell Hi won it's first basket ball game of the season Saturday night in a game with Kayhi, the team having come up from Ketch- ikan aboard the revenue cutter Cyane.
 The game was hard fought all the way through. Ketchikan was leading by one point at the end of the first half, the score being Kay hi ', Wrangell G. In the first of the second half Kayhi made six points to Wrangells two. Then in the first of the last quarter Wran- gell made a few brilliant shots tying the score with only one minute left to play. It began to look like the game was going to have to be played out in an overtime when Dick Johnson, captain of the Wran- geIl team, intercepted a pass, and dribbIed down the floor to make a basket which brought Wrangell in victorious.
 Here is the lineup of the two teams:

Wrangell Takes Part
 Pres. Birthday Ball

Preparations foi the Presidents Birthday Ball at Wrangeu are un- der way by the committee composed of r. G. Hanford Leo Mccormack. James Nolan, Leo Osterman and L.. M. Campbell The ball. which will be held Saturday night, January 70, at the A. \. B. Hall, is in eOnnec- ton with similar events this week end all over the country the pro ceeds from which go to the lntan- tile paralysis fund.
 Seventy per cent of the money raised here will remain in Wrangel for the benefit of child patients at Bishop Rowe General Hospital while thirty per cent will be termed over to the national committee for de livery 10 President Roosevelt to be presented by him 10 Warm Springs Foundation. This fund will be used in the national fight against in1an- uIe paralysis.
 Infantile paralysis, against which modern science wages a courageous but so far not completely yicto- rious battle. is not as many have supposed a disease of modern times. IL did it's fatal work in ancient Egypt and in medieval Europe, ac- eording to a survey made recently by Dr. LeRoy W. Hubbard, director of the extension work of the Warm Springs Foundation of New York.
 Only in recent years. however, and since the disorder has from time to time reached epidemic pro portions in parts of the United States has the medical fight against it been scientifically directed. Re search in the United States has been assisted by the contributions of the people through the annual birthday balls held for the past three years in honor of Mr. Roose- welt.
 In his review of infantile para lysis in ancient and modern times, Dr. Hubbard points out that pr. Clarence Victor Vaughn, the medi-' cal historian found definite traces of the results of the disease in Egyptian mummies.
 The first big modern epidemic in the United States, Dr. Hubbard writes, occurred in 1916. It reach ed every state in the union and struck down more than 25,00O per. sons, the majority of them children.
 The difference between the situa- ,ion of the Egyptians and that of the Americans is that sufferers in -55f are treated with all the skill ol modern science which continues research in an effort to stamp out the disease to the extent oI the in 1 terest and funds supplied by the public, largely through the Pres IdeHt's Birthday Balls.

LOCAL OPTION PROVIDED BY
 LIQUOR BILL

Senator Victor (. Rivers of the Fourth Division last week intro duced the first liquor bill before the Legislature in session at Juneau
 The measure provides for statu- tory control of liquor in the Terri tory based on the present regula- tions of the Lquor Board and amends the 1885 statute which left the handling of liquor entirely up to the Board.
 Under the Rivers bill the Liquor Board would be limited to three members - the Treasurer, Auditor and Attorney Geueral-the Cover nor and the Highway Engineer be- ing left off. Ii provides for the is suance of licenses as at present un- der the same designations and pro yides for a strip tax on all liquors at the following rates: Five cents per gallon on matted brews; 15 cents a gallon on liquor up to 19 per cent alcohol and one dollar a gallon on all liquors over 19 per cent.
 Local option is provided for on d 50 per cent basis of the residents of a community demanding. En- forcement is more general. Instead of four enforcement officers as pro yided for under the present sys- tenn. all marshals, deputies and other law enforcement bodies would be entrusted with enforcing the sta ute. As at present, no sale of hard liquor by the glass would be per mitted.

 The first thing Charlie Moberg did when he came in from trapping this week was to read all the Sen tinels he had missed while out of town He read them thoroughly even the Wringer. The amateur poetry printed recently inspired him to try his hand and he claims this is strictly original and took him only two days to compose:
 Mary has a new tight skirt
 So neat, so bright, so airy; It never shows a speck of dirt But it sure does show Mary. Met Charlie Moore today all slick ed up, haircut, shave and ears pin ned back. Whats the idea, says we. Oh, says he, just getting ready for the Presidents Birthday Ball tomor- row night, where you dance so that crippled children can walk. Well, l told him, at the last ball you i danced so hard on my girls feet, she was too crippled to walk home and I had to get a taxi. An unwar- ranted expense. So he promised to stay away from her tomorrow night. Afterwards I remembered that it's different girl friend to- morrow night from last time, So here's where Park Stump gets a wallop at the old wallet.

PIONEERS SEND THANKS
 FOR CHRISTMAS MONEY

The I'll residents of the Pioneers Home at Sitka received nine dollars each from the Pioneers Home Christmas Fund, stated Filler Han sen, superintendent of the Home, in a letter to the Sentinel received this week.
 "The Pioneers have asked me to express their sincere gratitude to everyone that contributed to their happiness,' stated MT. Hansen. For man with empty pockets nine dollars is a fortune, but better than the money is the thought that each one has and can cherish throughout the years: My friends have not forgotten me-"
 MT. Hansen's financial statement follows:

We ran into quite a surprise ct the Sentinel office this week. We went ill just 10 look around and help speed up production by ask ing questions as is our helpful habit. 4 pile of magazines in corner en- gagged our attention for we had never seen or heard of such titles. Not a True Story, Real Detective or Wine Review in the bunch. We asked the editor what they were and she said they were house organs. Do you read them says we. No, but 1 glance through them and put them aside to really read when I get time says she We did not say anything but it was easy to see she had not had much time for sev- eral months at least.
 We asked the reason for one lit tie fellows being called Shining Lines and she said that was from the linotype company and referred to the shining line of type produced OH the machine. But what do you get out of reading this. We asked. We'll, she said she liked to look over the type used that she was going to get a new type face soon. We pondered this silently for a while. We heard her say some time ago that she sure needed a new hat but needed a new face a lot more. Dur ing our Sentinel visits we frequent ly pick up type from the cases along the walls, juggle the pieces in our hand and then put them back in the little pockets. a few here and a few there, but we never saw any faces on them.
 Then we had an inspiration and said brightly, You speak a language in here foreign to the rest of us, don't you. Well, she said, it isn't my mother tongue and I speak it rather brOkenly. Then I turned the pages idly of one of these Shining Lines, and it was stuff anybody could read with profit even if you couldn't find any type faces, when smack here came a little story, reprint, so it was stated. of a clipping con- taining information of great value

 3. Ask the lady across from you if she has any children. If she says Yes" ask her if she is married.
 Well, after that We let question ing the editor go hang and applied ourselves to studying this new lit erature. Folks, you'd be surprised at what I found. Listen to this piece of journalism. a real short short story of neighborhood life:

cause women now drink more freely
