Both the channel bass (red fish
or red drum and black bonito
(cabio or crab eater) are top
flight sport fish and are con-
Eidered by many expert epicu-
reans to be par excellence among
steak fish. Most game fish of
the big variety are used for
trophy purposes only, but with
the bass and bonito there's meat

BOND OF FRIENDSHIP
We hope our habit of chatting
along with our new Washington
shipmates will become a good one
with a mutual bond Of friendship
between us and our new radio
program starting Sunday, July "a,
over WJSV will radiate that spirit.
That word "habit" reminds the
"Old Skipper" of farmer who
once had a gray colt which he
kept in a box stall and watered in
a trough in the barnyard. When
the colt was six or seven months
old the farmer put him out to pas
ture on the other side of the
river.
Whenever the colt became
thirsty, what do you think he did?
He SWAN THE RIVER and
trotted up to the trough in the
barnyard for his drink Of water.
That was force of habit.
Letters are pouring in from our
new shipmates. It makes the "Old
Skipper" feel mighty good and
lends that encouragement so
necessary for the work ahead.
Keep those letters coming and
above all fill out the audition
blank if you sing, dance, play an
instrument, recite or impersonate.
DOOR OF OPPORTUNITY
For those who have mailed their
applications, watch for the post
man within the next day or so, for
he will have an appointment card
fc. your tryout in the studios Of
IWJSV. The time and date will be
your key to the door of oppor-
tunity and the rest will be up to
lyou.
On Sunday July "a at / o'clock
in the afternoon the air waves will
ring with the very spirit of youth.
Popular and classical songs, the
click of dancing feet, the tunes
that grandmother loved, childish
voices in dialogue and budding
genius Of future great musicians
will blend with the laughter of
our Jolly Crew members as they
make merry in a wholesome, clean
radio offering that we hope will
become not only a habit, but a
welcome one each week in your
homes.

R0NNING FINDS GEAR
 LOST IN HEAVY STORMS

The halibuter Andrea had all gear out when a heavy storm struck on the banks two weeks ago, Henry Roaming stated in a letter received this week by his wife.
 Roaming stayed by the gear 36 hours, then a wave took the run ming lights off. He rifted the boat until the storm was over after which he hunted two and a half days for the gear.
 Finding he would have to get his bearings again, he put in from the ocean to Yakutat. After getting his bearings he went back to the hal ibut grounds and had the unusual good fortune to find his gear, the replacement of which would have cost over a thousand dollars.
 Roaming sold 5000 pounds of hal ibut at Sitka, left for the grounds again and will, be back in Wrangell for the Fourth. =#-=---#--= >e ez--

 pr. Wheeler selected the newest type Victor Coolidge Dental X-ray Unit. manufactured by General El- ectrie Company. for the reason that it employs the Coolidge oil-immersed tube rendering it 100 percent cleo trieally safe and shock proof While the COX was primarily designed for dental photographic service, it's ra- diographie range is wide enough to include satisfactory radiographs of all bony extremities. for fractures. disloeations and similar needs
 Since moving here in the fall Dr. Wheeler has had many requests for dental X-rays and has found much need of the machine as there has never been a dental X-Ray in the Wrangell dental office. He is glad now to announce this addition to his equipment to meet the needs of satisfactory modern dentistry.
