ELKS NOTES
By the Publicity Chairman

j = = :.
The plans for the coming Elks
Milk FUND Frolic at A n B. Hall
on September End are progressing
nicely. This was evident as various
committees reported at a general
meeting at Elks Hall on Monday
night. The various committees are
arranging so that all who do attend
the Frolie really will have loads Of
fun for their money. There will be
several games of chance. and
wheel of fortune with real, honest
to-goodness worthwhile prizes. One
section of the floor will be divided
off for dancing.
Speaking of dancing reminds US
that the plans for a jitney dance
have been dropped, as it is believed
that such a plan If carried through
would cause considerable bother and
confusion. So. with the plans revised,
the gentlemen's admission fee of one
dollar and the ladies' admission fee
of twenty-five cents win cover all
dancing charges.
Though no one as yet has concen-
trated on the sale of tickets, lively
interest is being taken in the coming
Frolic. The public is taking the gen
erous attitude that the Frolie, being
given for a charitable purpose, does
deserve the eommunity's wholeheart-
ed support.
Chairman P. L. Stump has asked
that all, especially Elks, who have
tickets for sale, push sales beginning
next Monday. And he wishes to re-
mind the committee members that
there will be another meeting at
Elks Hall on Monday evening, prob
ably at o'clock. Mr.. Stump reports
that each of the three local salmon
canneries, ARB. Packing Company
Wrangell Packing Company, and
Harvest Fishermen, Inc, donated
most generously ten dollars, fol
which they accepted no tickets.

Admitting that planning is dan

theless dares TO outline a program
Area-Baranof island first be-
cause of its possibilities for wood
resources, its warm climate. its re
creational areas and mineral springs
and the nearby town of Sitka which
could be a base,
Second. the Kenat peninsula be

developments. climate accessibility.
Third, the Matanuska-S usitna val
ley area because of its agricultural
possibilities, mineral resources. roads
etc.
Experts First
People-First would come a dozen
settlers (some of them. at least. Al
askans), experts in architecture,
town planning, industrial engineer
ing, accounting, law They would
select sites. While this party is at
work, sponsors would be selecting
settlers and would send small
group of Student settlers to learn
all about Alaskan ways of life. Al
askan customs and law, etc These
would be men and women who have
had special training in geology, soil
chemistry. engineering, surveying,
public health, animal husbandry, &c

They would be the explorers. BerY-

Men Who Can Build
Then would come the pioneers,
willing and able to build houses,
furniture, to get fuel, food, and
build roads. IF the experience of
Matanuska proves anything" says
the report, 1T is that the first pio-
neers must be men who can build
and live in tents or barracks while
they build"
Then when the first permanent
habitation has been built the next
wave of settlers should begin grad
ually to move upon the settlement. u
Then a final wave. Here then will
be an American community, each
wage Garner will have a job, a home
and mortgage. In paying back, out
of current earnings, the sums ad.
vaneed by the corporation, the col
onists will be renewing the eorpor-

Benjamin Franklin.
He decided, for relaxation, to take

witched" He collaborated with
Charles Macarthur in 1926 in writing
salvation" His moving picture
scenarios included "Budd-Dog
Drummond," Condemned" Raj
f1es," "A Lady to Love" THE Greeks
Had a Word for It." and Chris
topher Bean"
Author of yellow Jack"
In 1884, he adapted "Dodsworth"
for the stage from Sinclaid Lewis's
novel and wrote yellow Jack" the
existing story of the Yellow Fever
Commission in Cuba.
His marriage to Leopoldine Blaine
Damrosch in 1881 was his second.
His first wife was Claire Eames, act
ress, who appeared in his first hit,
Swords" They were divorced in
March, 1880. She died in London the
following November.
Besides his widow, Mr.. Howard
leaves one child by his first mar
riage, three by his second; his moth
er, Mrs. John L. Howard; sister and
three brothers.
A short time before Howard's
death, word was received yesterday

of Mrs. Howard's sister, Alice, had
been killed on a mountain climbing
expedition in far-away Tibet about
July 30. Mr.. Wolfe had been a
summer resident of Glen Cove, near
