MRS. c. E. MIG KINNEY DIES
 OF HEART DISEASE MAR. Il

Mrs. c. E. Mckinney died at Mill ton, Oregon, on March Il from heart disease from which she had suffered for several years.
 Her body was taken to Walla Walla, Wash, for burial beside MT. Mckinney who passed away in May of last year. She is survived by two sons, J. L. Dolan of Wrangell and Jason Mckinney of Longview, Wn., a daughter, Mrs. Harley Johnson, the former Kathryn Mckinney in whose home she was living when children.
 Mrs. Mckinney was born in Hol- ton, Kansas in August of 1873. Her parents had emigrated to Kansas from Ohio and while she was a baby went further west, settling at Spokane, Washington, where she grew to womanhood.
 In 1916 MT. and Mrs. Mckinney with their two children moved to Wrangell and lived here until the summer of 1885. During her resi- dence here Mrs. Mckinney made a wide circle of friends, who sincere ly mourn her death. She was known for her kindness and generosity to all, but particularly to children and to those on whom life had cast it's sorrows. When the depression came, she encouraged the older men living in gasboats or cabins to bring her their allotment of Red Cross flour and though her cook stove at the time was small, she baked bread for many of them.
 Various trips which she was ob- liged to make to the states in order to save the blindness which threat ened her eyes, sorely depleted the family savings, but always there was something to share with others less fortunate and never were days so dark that she could not summon a cheery salutation to those about her or find something kind to say about everyone.

 BOARD TALK PLAIN

JUNEAU - Federal govern ment dominion in Alaska was at- tackled by two Alaska Planning Council speakers in addresses be fore the Chamber of Commerce here, Luther Hess, of Fairbanks said:
 "One of the Councils major problems is to trive toward de- velopment of the Territory on her own right and to keep away fron, too much federal government doaninionf There is tendency to lean too strongly on federal agencies and to bring this Coun- cil under the influence of the federal government"
 Federal Judge George Alex ander said: Ninety per cent of the land in the Territory is under federal control. It appears to me one of the big jobs of the Alaska Planning Council is to get the government to unbutton some of this control"

Solution to Previous Contract Problem

While the bidding might have followed other lines, the North and South hands certainly rate to be played to win all of the tricks, and when North saw his dummy, it looked easy to him. Dummys five card length in clubs was just enough theoretically to give him a discard of his one loser, the heart nine. but when it came to the play, North found his problem too difficult to solve. Try as he might, he could not unblock the club suit, and at the end he was forced to give up heart trick to East;s queen.
 Blocking situations such as this are rare. Generally If the declarer looks long enough, he can find way to unblock. but this is one situation in which it cannot be done. Of course. it is unnecessary to point out that If the club six were in the North hand and the club seven in the South hand, nothing could stop the fulfillment of the grand slam contract. That the South hand held not one entry other than in the one suit made it a case of water, water every where, and not drop to drink" for North.
