YOUNG COUPLE, MARTHA WRECK,
 GOING SOUTH
Piodrds Luckily Rescued When Rudder Is Lost
 in Heavy Storm

After starting out to save the lives of two men on a drifting barge in a Bristol Bay storm with their trading vessel Martha and ending up by wrecking on Walrus Island to be fortunately rescued themselves, Mrs. Don Picard, wife of the Marthas skipper, wants her husband to start a chicken ranch" :"
 The picards are in Juneau to- day aboard the Bureau Of Fisheries vessel Penguin, heading south fos the winter to decide whether ol not they will get another ship and resume their lonely run out to the farthest Aleutians next season.
 Picard took his little freighter Martha out in search of a drift ing barge with two men aboard going out in a 5-mile-an- hour blow "only because it was an emergency"
 Ship Begins to Leak
 On October IT, while carrying on their search, the Martha be- gan to leak through the stern post, and on the evening Of October K ten miles off Walrus Island, their rudder carried away.
 We didn't care much. we were so rumdum by that time,' Capt Picard said today.
 The boat drifted helplessly on Wolf Spit and lay in the breakers all that night. Picard, his wife and their crew of two tried to launch the dory, but comber whipped the little craft around the bow and broke it in two.
 The party was taken off the next day by fisherman Charlie Franz of Nelson Lagoon, who ran his small gill netter behind the spit. The Picards and their crew walked ashore at low tide and over to Franz'S craft.
 Ham Hears Call
 Franz, hermit-like resident of the lonely shore, was fortunately an amateur radio operator and heard Picard's calls for assistance.
 Tt might have been lot worse if 1t hadn't been for Franz" Mrs. Picard said.
 That is one reason the Picards don't feel so bad about the fact that when the insurance company checked the lateness of the season, inadequacy of salvage equipment and remoteness of the Martha wreck and told Picard to sell to the highest bidder" Charlie Franz was the only bidder, with fifty bucks"
 The Picard's 17-year daugh- ter, Wana Lu, was not aboard at the time of the wreck and had gone south a few weeks earlier to reenter school in Oakland.
 Mrs. Picard says she is serious. but she laughs bit when she says "I'm trying to get Don to buy a chicken ranch
 Capt Picard says in answer, Next summer you'll wish you were back in the Aleutians," and on the basis of that, it appears as though the Picards might return with an- other boat in 1940

Poetic Thoughts
In the Street
By MORRIS GIBBS. Sr.

Some friends always in the street.
Never home and don't mind the heat,
Weather doesn't interfere, neither ice snow,
Stops these people who continue to go. ..--
The wonder is how their work be done,
Always just gone little run,
No matter how you try to repay call,
Just have patience and make another attempt that's ALL
Nothing worries people always the go,
Don't think that the furnace may get low
Only sickness stops their pleasure; sometimes bad feet
When nearly wel-start convalescing in the street.
It's true, it's nobodys business what is done,
How the house is cleaned or your business is run,
For your sake and we all know tits true,
Stop giving gossips any possible clue.
Actions we know speak louder than words
So govern yourselves there won't be any Birds
A twittering here and there about what you do,
Remember when in the street you're in the public vew

Spineless Sheets

Editor:
Your paper together with most
spineless Negro sheets have recent
ly shed copious tears over the
treatment Of Hebrews in Germany
under Herr Hitler.
Why don't you shed few tears
over your own kind. American
Jews, plenty of them, treat Ne
groes as bad as do we Protestants
and Catholics. The Jew-owned
Nicollet Hotel is now being sued
for refusing one of your local Ne
gro business men a glass of beer!
You fellows are wasting plenty
time feeling sorry for people who
visit you with the same things that
Hitler is giving their kinsmen.
