R. sHONWALD SELLS
 AMERICAN BAKERY

Continued From Page one) of his living quarters was the scene of much profanity, obscenity. inde- eeney and unsanitary conditions which was an outrage for decent people to have to oyerhear. have knowledge of and put up with.
 He was followed by MT Shon- wald who had brought with him a sheaf of tax statements and receipts, deeds and other legal papers. He told the council that his deed de- fined the front boundary of his property as being from the corner of Mrs. Ottesen's property to the corner of the Coliseum building" q distance of 2S feet That all previous deeds had been in terms of 28 feet.
 Two years ago, he stated, the assessed value Of his lot (not the building or equipment1 had been raised from $1400 to $1600. yet he had recently found that for the past two years the clerk had permitted Mrs A. Lemieux. on her representa- tion of legal decision made several years ago. to also pay taxes on the space between Shonwald's building and the Coliseum, which is used as an alleyway to some waterfront cab ins back of the Coliseum Theatre owned by Mr. Lemieux and also leads to a side entrance of the bakery building.
 Mr shonwald declared that all past tax records showed that who ever was the owner of his lot had paid taxes on the five-foot strip upon a tax levy made by the city. He wanted to know how the city clerk had the authority to permit Mrs. Lemieux also to pay taxes on a part of his property.
 The clerk explained that in 1896 the council, sitting as a board of equalization. raised the valuation of the property of the district in ques- tion from $50 per front foot to S60, to conform to the valuation of the property across the street. Shonwald said that still made his front boun- dary 2S feet.
 The mayor explained that the council had no jurisdiction over dis puted property rights. In the end. the mayor told MT. Snonwald. who wanted to board up tue disputed strip against the Expectations of the public as complained of by Mr Stensland, to go ahead and close off the strip of land and that would bring the question of ownership to a head very quickly.
 Two days later Mir. Stensland bought the bakery property. the deed defining the northern bound ary as the Coliseum Theatre, but the disputed five-foot strip is still open to the public.

NORMANNA CHORUS PRESENTS
 SPLENDID PROGRAM OF MUSIC

(By Valborg Brunswold Goulter)
 Wrangen clearly showed it's in- terest in and appreciation for fine music by turning out in goodly numbers last Sunday afternoon to hear the splendid concert presented by the Normanna Male Chorus of Ketchikan under the leadership this year of MT. George Weeks, music instructor of the Ketchikan schools.
 A varied and interesting program was augmented by especially fine assisting artists; MT. Marsden Brooks of Radio Center, New York, who for years was a featured vio- loncello soloist on the Standard Symphony Hour and has played with the Boston New York and Russian Symphony orchestra. an accomplished soprano. H or dis Strand Hansen, recently of Port land, Oregon and Edwin Sande, the well known Ketchikan tenor.
 MT. Brooks showed true musi- cianship in his dextrous lingering of his first and most pretentious number "Tarantella". He respond ed willingly to applause and won additional appreciation with this choice of familiar eneores, among them being the much loved Sol veig's Song" by Grieg and Mel ody' by the famous Scandinavian Yiolinist Ole Bull.
 The soprano sololst is new to Alaskan audiences and won many friends with her pleasing presen- tation of three solos in spite of a cold doubtlessly contracted dur ing the concert trip.
 Mir Sande needed no introduction to music lovers here and performed in his usual excellent style with the ease and poise that go with years of public appearances.
 The chorus of 20 voices sang three groups of well chosen mum bers but seemed especially at home with the all too short group of Morse folk songs whose texts were explained by MT. Sande. They showed equally fine training in the humming of Beautiful Say four" which is one of several fine choruses to be presented by a com munity choir of our own soon after Easter.
 It was interesting and heart warming to see how these men sol very obviously enjoyed singing to- gather. Though he had not beenI with the group for the past year, their former director, MT. CharlesI Homan, at present stationed at Lincoln Rock, directed a final vivid number that was enjoyed alike by both chorus and audience provingl beyond a doubt the sincerity of each members efforts to carry on the fine work begun ten years ago. Such a performance should be an incentive to band together the tal ent in Wrangell and aim at an equally enyiable record.

HISTORY OF HOME CRAFT
 TOPIC CIVIC CLUB PROGRAM

The program topic for the Civic Club Saturday afternoon was the History of Homecraft. It was pre- sented by Mrs. P. c. Mccormack chairman of the Home Arts Dept following the luncheon and response to roll call by the majority of the members with two-minute talks on timely assigned subjects
 With the Homeeraft topic in mind Mrs. Mccormack first presented sell ections of music that featured some particular craft. Mary McGor- mack played a piano selection. Aunt Belinda's Music Box. and responded to an encore; Mrs. John Coulter and Mrs Leo Osterman sang The old Spinning Wheel and Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party: Mrs. A M. Moe played the Doll Dance and Song of Burgundy.
 A beautiful quilt pieced by Mrs. Mccormack was on display as we'll .as several familiar and intricateI quilt patterns which she had made Besides these were a spinning wheel belonging to Mrs. Ernest Anderson. and a ehild's knitted eonterpanet which is an heirloom owned by Mrs. Russell F. Pederson.
 Miss Margaret Mccormack read al delightful paper. informative and humorous which she had prepared The topic for the program offers such a wide variety of material she said, that she had chosen only one of the crafts. one which she considered as picturesque as any and as American as pork and beans the patchwork quilt
 The nature of any folk craft is ! to reflect the personal whimsey of the individual worker and this is ! especially true of the patchwork quilt for there is no more faithful record of bygone days in America than the quilt. It represents a craft practieed exclusively in the home for more than two centuries and the designers gave to each quilt a sym bolic meaning.
 The present day vogue for quilts, she pointed out. is due to Americas keen interest in all that pertains to her own early history. It is typical of every new nation to mimic the established cultures and to ignore it's own and so during America's own dormant period, many quilts were relegated to the attic and have only come to light in the past few years with America's s re-discoYering the charm of it's own folk craft
 Few really old quilts have sur viyed she said, for the family quilt, like turkey soup, was made of left overs and in most cases was a pos itively last appearance.
 At the close of her paper Miss Mccormack spoke of a knitted coun- terpane which Mrs. Calvin Coolidge discovered in Virginia, and believed to have been worked by George Washington's mother. Mrs. Coolidge. from a tattered fragment, recon structed the entire piece From print ed directions Mrs. Mccormack had knitted a section which showed the beauty of the coyerlet.
 When we consider the skill and patience required in making such piece and the fine nedlework ne- cessary to the fashioning of the quilt, we may well be proud of this particular phase of American folk craft" Miss Mccormack said in con clusion.

MARCH

March is month we should all en-
Although it does resemble a lions
jaw;
The cold bleak winu comes blowing
down
But that is what it takes to end
winters frown. 81
Just think what this month does
bring;
The greatest of all is spring.
When gone is all winter snow
And little violets creep out below.
we shouldn't worry about thing
With little birds to sing
And the trees that blossom so fair
Because spring is in the airs
And even birthdays of presidents,
Generals with great galore
So let's investigate and find out
some more.
March the second is Ash Wednesday
And is celebrated in a peculiarly
way.
General Sherman was born. on the
9Th, 1920.
And his march through the South
destroyed plenty.
On March the 18th, 1857 Jackson was
born
And many stood aside when he
blew his horn.
For he was brave in battle and any
where he went
And was later made president.
The 18th is St. Patrick's Day all over
our land
But is better known and celebrated
in Ireland
To President Cleveland the 18th our
ear is lent II
Although he did become an assassi-
mated president.
We all honor the 21st with care
Because spring is in the air.
On that day little brides sing
And flowers see the first day OF
spring.
John Tyler was born on the Goth as
the story goes
And of others nobody knows
Because many men have lived and
died
And have gone on leaving no pride
Let's don't judge March like a rough
boy
Let's think of it as a month of Joy
Don't ever judge by the rolling tide
But turn and look on the better
side.
