 Carruthers reports large atteE- dances at all Easter services held in Klawock The Army held a Sunrise service in addition to their regular service and many turned out.
 An interesting sidelight on th9 Klawock Municipal election to he held this week is the fact, reports Brig. Carruthers, that they are Vot- ing on making the town dry. The owners of two of the three liquor dispensaries are among the leaders in this "dTy" movement.
 Carruthers had the interesting ex- perience on this trip of having his first airplane flight. Bob Ellis in hls Waco plane brought the Brigadier from Klawock to Ketchikan in less than an hour and from Ketchikan to Wrangell in a little over an hour, saving him many hours of travelling on the mailboat. He reports the flight was delightful and that sltho it was his first flight, Bob Ellis handled his plane So well that he was not even nervous.

The Senate passed the bill and it is now before the Ways and Means Committee or the house which will report it out of committee this eye ming for a vote.
 To Make Up Deficit

 To The Taxpayers of Wrangell:
 Referring to the editorial that ap- peared in the March 19 issue of the Wrangell Sentinel entitled Action" I have ti5s comment to make:
 1 believe that this editorial was written in the spirit that all good citiens should feel toward their city. But I take this time to enlarge upon the word Action" which was stres- sed considerably throughout the ed itoriaL l agree with the editor that action is sorely needed in this city, but action without DELIBERATE THOUGHT is perhaps one of the worst calamities to befall the tax payers of any community.
 We are informed that the Cham Der of Commerce have obtained funds with which to dredge an inner harbor for small boats. We have also been informed that the facilities of ,his new harbor will tend to draw more fishing boats to Wrangell, and thereby increasing the business of the city.
 l do not deny the truth of this statement literally, but if the dredg ing of the proposed location for this harbor is carried out, I do deny that any such influx of fishermen will take place.
 The dredging of this location for harbor is probably one of the most thoughtless pieces of engineering eV- CT to befall the taxpayers of this community, comparable only to our wonderful AIRPORT, and to a lesser degree the spending of thirty ol tor- ty thousands of dollars of govern ment funds used in dredging out the big harbor for a dozen seine boats and cannery tenders.
 The lack of thought on this new project is beyond comprehension To name a few of the many reasons why this location is not a suitable harbOr; In the first place the ad- vantages gained by the fishermen are practically nil. The actual dis tance from the business district is the same as the old harbor. Iu the winter time the proposed harbor will be frozen solid. There has always been a great deal of complaint about ice in the old harbor. I do not be- lieve many boatmen would move their boats into a place where the ice-in a much more solid form would be continuously scraping them
 So far as I have been able to de- termine the only convenience gained by the boat owners is the fact it will not be necessary to get into a skiff in order to reach the city. do not believe that this advantage alone warrants the expenditure iu- volVed in dredging this harbor. The question of ice in the harbor, alone would discourage sane thinking per- sons from going any further with the project.
 I do not doubt that there ARE some boat owners who would give little heed to the fact that ice is chewing off the bottom of their boats. But there are a great many others who take pride in keeping | their boats in good condition. And incidentally I believe the business men realize, that 1t is the latter who really have an interest in city af- fairs and help the city from fi- nancial standpoint.
 Now I wish to submit my idea of tContinued on Page Three)

To the Voters of Wrangell:

To the Voters of Wrangel:
 As I am in the race for election 10 the City Council, l wish to state that if am elected I will work for the best interest of the town and it's citizens.
 l do not favor increase in the val nation of property above the pres ent valuation.
 am very much in favor of harber improvements, such as water piped over to the main float and electric service to boats tied up there. The town should encourage fishermen to make Wrangell their home town as almost all income to the town comes from the fishing industry.
