 Observe Anniversary
Revival of American Way" Cry Sounded By Presi. dent Holmes at Meeting in Southbury Last Night

We were farsighted and thank God that we were.
 we carried on the fight, pledged to arouse public opinion and to pro- mote legislation to halt the Nazi arrogance our midst. We are going to do more. We are still interested in the Bund but 1t is no longer the fiamboyant organization 1t was. It is out of the picture. It will work more secretly now. No more will we see Fritz Kuhn stiutting down the street attired in a German storm Troop er's uniform, fianked by armed Hell Hitlers" flung at us. The Bund has lost its glamor and Uncle Sam is right after 1t. s.
 Must Be Alert
 But with the crisis in Europe and the trend of events we must watch for sabatoge. This means the loss of American capital and might lead to great national disaster. We must be alert every moment and con- tinue to arouse public opinion.
 "The most sinister thing in America today is Communism. If Communism were an American movement, designed to help Amer jeans would be for 1t, but 1t is die rected by foreign government and aims at the destruction of our demo- cratic form of government. This sim ister influence is the direct concern of every American. It has permeated into our schools. our colleges and our organizations. We had some in tfl.s organization when 1t started but we managed to get rid of 1t.

BARONESS, BUTLER NEW COMEDY FILM IS
 FOR COLISEUM SHOW

The gay dignified swish of peer age and it's coming a cropper in a middle European New-Deal offers a delightfully."- exciting theme for ~The Baroness and the Butler" which opens Sunday at the Coliseum The atre.
 This Daryl F. Zanuck production for goth Century-Fox co-stars Will liam Powell and Annabella in a blithe screen version of, the stage hit that had half of Europe agog.
 This film has caught the tone and flavor of an old regime-years of tradition and generations of escut- cheon worship-suddenly confront ed with a blue bloods' dilemma in which the self -effacing bu tier emerges from his cocoon to assume social equality with his noble em- ployers.
 Powell, as his suave best, tries to save the Counts family from the blow of learning that he has been elected to Parliament on the So- cialist- Progressive ticket By his very actions he brings down charges of impoliteness, fraud and trickery on his head.

WOLF TRAppER BEARING DOWN
 ON pREDATORS
Wild Life Agent Reports Deer Winiering in Ex-
 teIIent Shape

With trappers becoming cognizant of the danger of wolf depredations, and faced with a closed season on fur in Southeast Alaska. Wild Life Agent Hosea Sarber from Petersburg, said today that "the wolf is begin ming to get his dues
 Sarber came in from Petersburg on the Game Commission vessel Bear, formerly the Seal, Capt. Ken Talmadge. last night.
 More wolves are being trapped than ever before, Sarber said, and also added the good news that deer are having one of their best winters ;
 Water Set" Effective
 Sarber said the water set" for wolves, initiated seven years ago by Ernie Gombell of Petersburg, is getting wolves with amazing effic- iency in combination with scent and field assistance from the Game Com mission.
 Gombell originated the water set, QSPtliQuiS Ull llQt UC WASH away utll- tale man scent, in 1882. Since that time, he has trapped 61 wolves in the same set.
 Other trappers, taking advantage of the idea, disseminated in mimeo- graphed explanation by the Game Commission, have been having a marked success, and with no fur sea- son, are turning in many cases to straight wolf trapping for liveli- hood.
 George Ongleman in the Whale Pass area on the West Coast, has taken Is wolves this winter with the set, Sarber said. Also, Bob and Louis Scott, father and son at Craig, have taken 57 wolves since last spring, totalling 107 pelts since 1885.

animals began raiding his foxes.
 Never having trapped wolves be- fore, but with Game Commission assistance, Tenjford has trapped F animals since last fall, Sarber said
 A Klawock trapper has taken l4 wolves this winter, and is finding wolf trapping profitable enterprise in lieu of trapping mink.
 AS for deer, Sarber said he has noticed a marked increase in deer in the last two years, and that this past winter has been marvellous for the animals, with little snow.
 When the Baranof comes through on the way to the Westward, Sarber will sail for Kodiak to institute a Game Commission bear patrol in the interests of cattle ranchers who have experienced depredations from marauding bruins.
 Two registered guides will hunt with Sarber and track down the offending animals to give Kodiak cattle a clean bill of health.
