BOYCOTT SPREADS
 AGAINST BOND co
Central Labor Union Says Bread Not Baked Here
 By Union Members

The Waterbury Central Labor union, at a meeting last night, vot- ed to appeal to the Connecticut Federation of Labor to spread the boycott against Bond bread on a statewide basis, on the grounds that it is not baked locally by a union baker. It was also voted to ask every labor union in Waterbury to stop buying General Baking pro- ducts.
 Members of the Bakers union ap- peared at the meeting of the Gen. tral Labor union last night and re- quested the boycott action. Re- gently they obtained similar vote from the Teamsters' union. The Central Labor union appointed a committee of 10 men to contact the Waterbury labor organizations.

Cast of Characters

Old King Cole ........... Yvonne Page .................. Marie Fiddlers ... Emile, Cecile, Annette
 Here's a tableau in five scenes that gives the Dionne all-star quin- tet a chance to show histrionic ability in musical revue. What verve, what elan, what eclat z. what everything. And not to be outdone by Noel Coward, who got tired playing the same show night after night and therefore wrote himself cycle of nine plays tc be given every three nights, the Qu'nts show that they can switch from tragedy to comedy, too.
 There's no plot to this play. It's just picture of an old gaffer out to have himself a time-entertain ment for the tired business man. Notice how Yvonne, as King Cole. chortles in the ensemble scene be- low at left. When those fiddlers swing it, nobody can sit still.
 Marie, as the page, gives a per- formance of distinction as the pipe and-bowl-bringer in scene two. It's cloWning role, and Marie, to make the most of her ability and steal the scene, coyly dips the pipe into the bowl when no one is looking.
 The final scene shows Yvonne as a king should be-happy as a king. There's change of crowns between the first and the last two scenes, but what's the use of being king if you can't have at least two crowns?
 Next week: Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary.

Black Bass

Daily Dispasch Bureau,
In The Sir Waltar Hotel.

Raleigh, Oct. 6.-Currituck Sound
is now one of the best places in
North Carolina to fish for black bass
since they are more numerous there
than they have been in several years.
according to Rupert West, district
game protector in the Currituck
Sound area for the Department Of
Conservation and Development.
"The increase in the number of
black bass in Currituck Sound is due
to the sand fixation work on the
banks and the replacement of the
locks in the inland waterway" Mr..
West pointed out in a letter to the
Conservation Department. "The sand
fixation keeps the ocean water from.

and cheerful as can be, every time
she comes to town. And although she
is not physically able to do much got

has kind word for all who pass.
So those who think they have all
the trouble should look around them
for just a few minutes each day, and
they will soon find someone in still

 Consideration was give to the request of Harold Martin dale for the construction of a gravel alley on the s.de of his property on St. Michael street. or the loan of a city truck for such purpose. No such work ever having been approved by any former council no action was taken to comply with the request.
 Troy Morrow, having requested 2 price for the Fire Hall lot on Front street. it being his intention to erect a business building thereon if acquired, the clerk was instructed to inform him that if he wished to make a concrete offer the same would be considered.

Flood water on Front Street and other sections as a result of the heavy rains was the principle sub ject under discussion by the City Council at it's meeting on Thursday night of last week.

SAYS GULF SHRIMP
 BIG INDUSTRY

Airmailed from New Orleans to Seattle on October 6, a letter from George Sumption was received in Nrangell October 10th.
 MT. Sumption, partner with Nell Grant in the Reliance shrimp Com pany went south last month with the intention of quietly spending the winter in New Orleans, while recovering from fractured process of q spinal bone three months ago.
 Asked by the Sentinel to send letter for publication so that all friends might share in news from him, Mr. Sumption wrote as follows:
 Just a line to say hello and hope you all i'll Wrangell (people down here all say you all and 1 got the habit) are getting along fine as 1 feel like a different person now. Since having an operation on my spine ill Chicago 1 feel better than l have in long time
 Am in New Orleans at present. l was in Biloxi, Miss. and Mobile, Alabama yesterday looking over the shrimp industry and am really sur prised at the size of the industry. There are dozens of canneries around here twice and three time the size of the Diamond K eannery at Wrangell and they operate en- tirely on shrimp.
 Between three anu five hundred people are employed in each can nery and there are about forty to seyenty-five boats Co each cannery fishing. l estimate there are easily six to seven thousand boats fishing shrimp in the gulf district here.
 T just love the southern people, they are so polite and hospitable, but it is too warm for me as the thermometer registers around 91 to 95 degrees in the shade every day I had expected to spend the winter here but as I am getting along so well and it is altogether too warm, l shall be home in time for Christ mas as, after all, there is no place like Alaska for me.
 T do not know a soul in this country but I always look up the Elks lodge and inside of 24 hours I am fairly well acquainted.
 While in Chicago I had the hon. or of meeting Dr. Alan Roy Dafoe of the quintuplet fame and talked with him for about three minutes, so that is one of the high lights of my trip"

WOmen'S Civic Club Has Varied
 Program Of Activities

Thirty-four women went to the Wrangell Institute last Saturday for the October meeting of the Civic Club and were royalty entertained at luncheon in the apartment of Miss Breen at the Health Center. Co-hostesses were Mrs. Barrett, Miss Gauger, Miss Alexander, Mrs. Mize, Miss Neill and Mrs. Keithahn.
 The luncheon was served buffet style from a large table at one end of the apartment and small tables had been scattered throughout the long room for the convenience of the guests. A delightful social hour was enjoyed before the business ses- sion which was brief.
 The first official letter from the new president of the Alaska Feder- ation, Mrs. R. R. Hermann of Ju- neau, was read by the president, Mrs. M. o. Johnson, and Miss Louise Mayberry read an article from the Christian Science Monitor about Mrs. Saddle Orr Dunbar, president of the General Federation, by request
 Mrs. Hermann has chosen for the theme of her 1938-41 administra- tion Intelligent Citizenship and Mrs. Dunbar has as her slogan for the same term Adjusting Democ- racy for Human Welfare, both themes peculiarly applicable to present day conditions, and along the line of the respective interests of these two women. Mrs. Hermann has acted as Legislative Chairman ,fax the Alaska Federation for
The Wrangell sentinel., 1938-10-14

many years and out of that activity and interest has grown her vocation as an attorney. Mrs. Dunbars life work has been in the field of Pub lie Welfare, centralized in her fight against tuberculosis. Both themes will be carried out in their broadest sense, however. A news letter from Mrs. Hermann will reach the Alaska clubs each month and two special projects will be an- nounced in the November letter. Contact with the General Federation program is achieved through the CIVIC Clubwoman, the official pub lication which is issued monthly in Washington. D. c.
 At the Saturday meeting, Miss Mayberry was appointed contact chairman for the local club and the Federation; Mrs. Barnes, Mrs. Smith and Miss Harding commit tee to select a gift for the newly established A. F. headquarters at Juneau, and Mrs. Harrington, Mrs. Neil Grant and Mrs. Kittilsby vol unteered to act as dessert hostesses at the November meeting which will be held at the dugout. At that meet ing the years program, conforming as far as possible with the admin istration theme, will be announced.
 Guests at the Saturday meeting were given an opportunity to make tour of the Institute buildings following the business session and the trek homeward began about a.30.

 District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler Soholt of Ketchikan will act as installing officer. He will be ac- companied from Ketchikan by a number of other lodge officials and it is understood that a number of Juneau Elks will be present at the ceremonies.
 There are very close relations be- tween the Elks of Ketchikan, Pe- tersburg, Juneau and Wrangell, in asmuch as Wrangell originally was under the jurisdiction of Ketchikan, Juneau helped Petersburg to insti- ute Bills Club and Wrangell, since acquiring it's charter, has been Petersburg's home lodge.
