AFL Seiners Declare CIO Have No Agreements With Industry

fisherman will deliver fish to a packer who purchases fish from a fisherman not properly cleared.
 The CIO has no agreement with the industry and unless they clear through the ASPSU, they are work inging under open shop conditions and as dual union, will be consid- cred scabs, by the ASPSU. We do not want any further trouble with Brother Alaskans who belong to the CIO Therefore we invite them to the Headquarters Office for the proper clearance papers. Monday has been set as the deadline. After this date direct action will be taken.
 Certain rumors are being circul- ated that the CIO seiners have sign ed an agreement with the industry. This is absolutely false. The CIO signed nothing. All they have is the letter given to them to save their faces. If the letter to the CIO print ed elsewhere in this paper can be construed for an agreement, then agreements do not amount to much.
 The Alaska Salmon Purse Sein- CTS have the majority of member ship. the bargaining rights and a signed agreement with the industry, and intend to see that the provis- ions of the agreement aEe enforced

The unusual experience of wit messing a black bear kill three point buck is claimed by c. NJ Archbold, district ranger of the for est service, states the Ketchikan Chronicle. Anthony Thomas, CCC enrolee who was nearby at the time. but unaware of the incident, is re- gretting that he was not with Arch bold at the time.
 The thrilling scene was observed by the district ranger Wednesday night at Karta river while he was trying for trout. He was interrupt ed by a loud growing bark on the river bank behind him. Thinking it a dog or a wolf, he was startled for moment, then he noticed com motion in the center of the river which was over 100 feet wide at that point.
 The growing bark came from the throat of black bear which was tenaciously hanging onto the neck of the three-pointer.
 Story Unfolds
 Relating the entire story, MT. Archbold said: "The bucks head was held under water and he was feebly flashing out with his feet. The bear was practically riding the bucks back and his weight kept the deer from regaining his feet. When noticed by me, the bear managed to twist the bucks neck and break it..
 "The distance was not more than 15 or 20 yards at the most. l grab bed a large boulder and heaved 1t at the bear which was still twisting the deer's neck under the water, all the time scratching and claw ing with all four feet while astrad- dle it's victim The boulder fell short of it's mark but splashed water on the bear which loosened it's hold and looked up to see me waving my arms.

SALMON RUN
 BRISTOL BAY
 PHENOMENAL

K0GGIUNG, Alaska, July Is. - Libby, McNeill and Libby's cannery here. also at Nakat and Libbyville, leport the heaviest red salmon run in the history of Bristol Bay.
 Incredible tales of a profusion of sw mming gold are included in the report of fishermen.
 Nets are so glutted with salmon that it is matter of only few minutes when boats are loaded and many fishing craft are endangered and near swamping because of the sheer weight of the fish.
 Fish have ehoked the nets.
 Much gear has been lost when fishermen have been forced to cut away large sections of net with en- meshed salmon. Lifting gear has been unable in many cases to lift the fish and get them aboard the vessels.
 The Nakat eannery has already packed more than 100000 cases and may be forced to close before the end of the season because of lack of cans. Libbyyille and Koggiung ean- neries expect to put up 175,000I cases each for new records.
 All canneries are working on al 24-hour basis, forced to the limit toI take the fish from their boats.
 Seiners are catching more fish inI an hour than they formerly took in a full shift.
 Cannery crews are buried under an avalanche of red salmon.
 Fisheries Bureau observers said the run shows no signs of slacken- ing

Eastern Star Leader
 To Arrive Here Mon.

Mrs. Anna W. smalley of Rouud- up Montana, Most Worthy Grand Matron, Order of the Eastern Star will arrive in Wrangell Monday on the steamer Aleutian.
 Mrs. smalley, who was elected tC her position last September is south bound from visiting the twelve AL aska chapters as the first of a series of official trips which she will make in the three years of the tenure of her office.
 The Most Worthy Grand Matron has general supervision of all chap ters in the states but direct super vision of chapters in the Territories and Insular Possessions of the Un- tied States Her supervision is world wide with the exception of the British Isles and continental Europe The itinerary of her three year travel which includes d visit to each grand lodge of the states, Canada, South America, Canal Zone Porto Rico, Hawaii. China and the Philippines, is so strict that if she fails to make connections anywhere, there is no way in which the visits may be made later.
 For this reason when Mrs Smal- ley suffered a fractured spine in an automobile accident in western Can ada early this summer she refused to go home but encased in a heavy body cast completed her Canadian visits and came on to Alaska. While in the Interior the cast was remov- ed and she is now travelling in greater comfort and freedom from fear Of injury.
 While it is not possible to def initely announce the program to be followed during Mrs. Smalley's visit until after her arrival in Wrangell, Worthy Matron Mary Anderson plans a meeting of the Eastern Star Tuesday evening at o'clock at which time the ritual of the order will be exemplified by the chapter. To this meeting, Mrs. Anderson ex- tends a cordial invitation for all Eastern Star members to attend It is very probable, she believes, that among the newcomers this summer while regular meetings are not be- ing held in the vacation period, areI several Eastern Star members not yet known to the local chapter.

boulders to the far shore. Getting in shallow water, he shook himself and turned around to inspect this rude intruder who had scared him from his kill.
 At the distance I did not look so big and still heated up over the ex- citing kill, the bear growled and snerted and tried to put on a big front. But he had lost his advan- 'tage for he had taken to the far shore. I kept my advantage and ev- cry time the bear made a motion to start back across the river I would heave a rock Finally l was lucky in planting a fair sized rock close to the bear and he galloped into the brush.
 If I had only had a camera dur ing this short experience" Arehbold bemoaned. "I could have taken a very rare picture. That of a black bear killing a fine large buck.
 ''Enrolee Thomas with a good press camera was along the river with other enrolees. Remembering this I ran along the trail for about half a mile to get him and we re- turned to the scene of the kill. The bear had not returned so I waded to the middle of the river to drag the dead buck ashore.
 Four Shots Left
 "Thomas had only four shots left in his camera and these were used up in various pictures of the buck. Then Thomas remarked that he had no more unexposed film At this point the bear returned to the other shore and started to wade into the stream In the commotion of the men attempting to get ashore into the brush, the bear went back into the timber.
 Thomas ran to camp for more film as we still had hopes of pie ture showing the bear over his kill. However, although Thomas returned with a loaded camera, the bear de- cided to wait for cover of darkness. This action all happened about T o'clock and the sun favored giving good light fer pictures taken-'

Preservation Old Fort
 Bldg. Favored By c of C

The Wrangell Chamber of Com merce at it's noon luncheon Monday voted unanimously to support the Wodens Civic Club in it's effort to preserve the Wrangell custom house as a historic landmark.
 An appropriation of $275, 900 has been made by Congress for a federal building at Wrangell According to the advertisement for the site. as published on another page of the Sentinel, the proposals solicited are for a list to be purchased, the ap- proXimate dimensions to be 120 foot frontage for corner lots. 145 foot frontage for interior lots, the depth in each instance to be ITO feet Sites having different street front age dimensions, it is stated, will oo considered provided the area is ap- proximately the same.
 The Civic Club, apprehensive that in some way the customshoIse would be destroyed, as were other buildings of the old fort when the present federal building was con structed some eighteen or nineteen years ago, appointed Mrs. I. C.. Bjorge and Mrs. H. H. Hungerford as a committee to sponsor the pres eryation of the old buildings.
 Accordingly, the ladies were pres ent at the luncheon Monday Mrs Bjorge stated the club wished to contact the businessmen and get their reaction to the project. The club members, she said, would like to see the customs house restored and used as a museum or as a com munity meeting place and stated that if restored the Civic Club would be willing to assume the re- sponsibility of maintenance
 Mrs. Hungerford spoke briefly of the history of the two remaining buildings of old Fort Wrangel. Con- structed by the United States in 1868 the buildings have been in customs house originally built for officers quarters, she said, if kept as a historic landmark, should have the siding torn away, and the ex- terior be the original log construc- tion. She spoke of the value to the town in maintaining instead of de- stroying it's historic features.
 In the ensuing discussion, men tion was made that it may be pos sible to get federal funds for the restoration of the customs house, under the historic building restor- ation project and the secretary was , instructed to make inquiry if there is such a fund available to Wran- gell. Needed repairs to the building are estimated to cost $4000.
 The Women's club representatives were assured by President F. s. Barnes of the moral support of chamber of commerce members, which was further strengthened by motion unanimously endorsing the project.

filled by talented, bright-eyed
youngsters who either know how to
act or how to take direction beauti-
fully from John Brahm.
The most startling thing about
Girls School" is that such moving
effects could be created with ordi-
nary materials. The latter include
the usual rich girl-poor girl arrange
ment, the adolescent moon-struck
romance, the senior prom, the
standard jealousies and comedy sit
uations and one especially bright,
humorous sequence which involves
lecture on charm. The latter Is
one of those priceless gems which
pop up in the least expected places
and leave a memory the more lasting
because of the surprise element in
volved.
Mr.. Brahm, to whose direction
Girls School" owes its charm, its
fine blending Of laughter and tears,
is newcomer in Hollywood. He
demonstrates not merely a Capra-
like understanding of character, but
also fine sense of the stuff that
can be dispensed with in a picture
of this kind. He is a gentleman
who should go long way in pictures
and whose pictures you should be
willing to 60 long way to see.

Every so often there comes along
simple, unpretentious, almost hum
bic motion picture which has more
honest entertainment to the linear
foot than dozen colossals. Such
picture is Girls School," which
opened yesterday at the Metropoli-

was mere peanuts in the financial
vernacular of Hollywood, but don't
let that bother you If you like your
movies sparkling in their humor and
sincere and fine in their pathos.
Another thing that might divert
you is the title of the film. It sounds
like one of those problem affairs
with maybe hint of darkness lurk-
ing somewhere about the premises.
But it is not that at all. It is as
wholesome as mountain air and quite
as invigorating in its gay, direct ap-
proach to the varied affairs Of a
group of adolescents away from
