 Diamonds were continued, East discarding clubs and South his two low hearts. Now the jack of hearts was led, East covered, Conan won with the ace, and the king dropped the ten from the West hand.
 So strong is the zeal of a new convert that it would be hard to convince Conan that the queen could be located other than lover the jack"

Tn a number of articles recently, I have discussed the queen over the jack" theory, now generally used by expert bridge players to eliminate blind guess. It does not al- ways follow that the queen is thus located, but the player who incor- porates this plan into his play will win doubtful hands more frequently than the player who makes each hand a guessing contest.

Canned Salmon A Mechanical Industry

cleaner, more sanitary method of
canning, but it improved the quality
OF the finished product by cutting
down the length of time required
for canning.
Next step to add TO the speed and
efficiency OF the industry in sup
plying high quality product TO
the consumer was the introduction
of the reformed or collapsed can.
These cans, now manufactured at
the rate of over 300 a minute, re-
placed the hand made cans which
were SO tediously produced. They
contributed to establishing the in
dustry on a basis where it could
utilize more fully the fishery re-
source.
More recently, the vacuum mach
inc replaced the steam box method
of obtaining a vacuum in the cans.
This machine added speed to the
canning operations. and also reduced
the cannery space required.
Latest development to step up the
speed of the canning process has
been the high speed filler machine.
This modern machine fills 100 cans
per minute, four times the speed OF
older methods, and the workmanship
OF the filters is greatly improved.
Speed in getting the salmon from
the sea into the can has been the
keynote of the mechanical changes
in the industry through its sixty-one
years. To deliver to consumers ey-
erywhere a high grade product that
will win repeat customers, quality
is necessary, and speed in canning
means quality.
Machinery has also enabled can
neries to produce an absolutely san
itary food product.
Today's canned salmon from AL
aska canneries shows almost as great
an improvement from its counter
part of 1873 as does the process by
which the canned salmon is pro-
duced
The Wrangell sentinel. (Wrangell, Alaska) 1909-current, 1939-10-13

Alaska's canned salmon which has
won worldwide fame for its tasti-
ness and nutritional values is today
a product of mechanical industry
which contrasts sharply with the
operation which produced the first
commercially canned Alaska fish
sixty-one years ago at Klawock on
Prince OF Wales Island.
During that summer of 1878, Al
askas two operating salmon Gamer
les produced about 5000 cases OF
canned salmon. Virtually the entire
operation was performed by hand
The fish heads, tails. and fins
were removed by hand labor. The
fish were opened and cleaned by
hand. They were cut into the prop
er lengths 10 fill the cans which had
been previously cut out, rolled and
soldered by hand work. The tops
were fastened to the cans and they
were then placed in the cooker.
Today, high speed machinery does
most Of this work The capacity of
the canneries to produce the finish
ed product has been greatly inereas-
ed. But more important, the quality
of canned salmon offered to the con-
sumner has been immeasurably i'm
proved because of the speed and care
with which the salmon is now pro-
gressed from the fishing boat
through to the cooking retorts.
The first major improvement in
the salmon canning industry was
the introduction of the Iron Chink''
in 1903. This machine, which won
its name because it performed the
labor formerly done by Chinese hand
labor, prepared and cleaned the sal
mon before canning.
The salmon, fresh from the sea,
goes into this machine which cuts
off the head tail, fins, Sits the fish
open, and removes the viscera This
machine has stepped up the speed
with which the salmon could be
handled. 1t not only introduced a

MEMORIAL SERVICE HELD HERE
For HIGH OFFICIAL sALY. ARMY

Brigadier J. T. Gillingham eoa-
Quoted a memorial service in the
salvation Army hall Sunday and
paid tribute 10 the life and work of
Commissioner John Mcmillan who
died recently. The congregation
stood in silent tribute and prayer
was offered for the bereaved family.
Commissioner John Mcmillan was
born in Scotland. the son of Saliva
ton Army parents. He came to
Canada with his parents while a
young boy, was educated in Toronto
and entered The Salvation Army
Training School there. He was later
made private Secretary to Command
ant Herbert Booth. son of the first
General. After serving in that eapa-
city for a time he was transferred
10 Australia with the Commandant
There he rose TO be Field Secretary
of Australia. the third highest Of
flee on that continent. He returned
to Canada as Chief Secretary. the
second highest office in Canada.
only to be returned to the Old
Country as Chief Secretary for
Field affairs and was stationed in
London His next move was to Chi
eago as Commander Of the Central
Territory and later he was trans
ferred to New York. the most i'm
portant territory IN the United
States.
Commissioner Mcmillan was ap-
pointed Territorial Commander for
Canada, Alaska, Newfoundland and
Bermuda in January 1885, and for
just over two years was in charge
of all Salvation Army operations in
this Territory, with headquarters at
Toronto The Commissioner had the
distinction of being the first Can
adam trained officer to hold this
high position in the Dominion.
Following his brief term in Can
ada, he was appointed by General
EYangeline Booth to the important
position of Chief of the Staff, sec
ond highest office in The Salvation
Army. He took up these duties in
April 1897. Unfortunately he was
taken seriously Ill a number OF
months ago, and while hopes were
entertained for his recovery, he
passed suddenly to his Eternal Re
ward on Friday, September 22nd,
1889.

the years OF her young Womanhood
would be spent in the missionary
field.
The Waggoners lived fourteen
years at Klawock and had a definite
part in bringing progress and bet
ter living to the natives Of the west
coast. Four children were born TO
them during their years there, but
they paid the price of the isolation
of those times, without doctors,
nurses or adequate supplies and when
their transfer TO Juneau came IN
1871, they LEFT behind two little
graves at klawoek, their little
daughter and a baby boy. Two other
boys who lived grew TO manhood in
Juneau and entered training for the
ministry. One is now a missionary
in Peru: the other this year re-en-
tered Princeton seminary and will
graduate next year
Though the Naggoners have left Al
aska, the impress o ftheir work will
remain. They have given % years
of service in Juneau doing their best
TO upbuilding and holding those to
whom they were ministering to a
better way OF life. The marvel is
that they and other missionaries
have accomplished So much in the
face of the influence for evil welded
By some of the whites We believe
that as the years go by the faith
and good works of the missionaries
will stand revealed as a power for
good and enlightenment

Body Found In Sus-
quehanna River

The body of white man, aged
about As years, was found in the
Susquehanna river, beneath the rail-
road bridge, near the Perryville
shore, on Sunday morning by Rail-
road Detective Fahey. When brought
ashore there was nothing about the
unfortunate mans clothing that
would lead to Identification and a
boat was manned and search
made in the. river, at point where
the body had first been sighted. A
pocketbook was found floating in
the water and recovered. 1t contain
ed papers showing that the drown
ed man was Francis H. Dundon, Of
Binghamton, N. Y, a world War
veteran. His papers giving honor
able discharge from the U. s. Army
were among the things found in the
pocketbook. His father, John Dun
don, was communicated with.
The supposition is that the man
had fallen from freight train cross
ing the river on the Pennsylvania
railroad bridge. The body had ap-
parently been in the water about
twenty-four hours.

New Bridge At HOLLYWOOD
Proposed

Another bridge may soon span
the Susquehanna River.
County Commissioner G. Graybill
Diehm announced Thursday that the
Lancaster County Commissioners
will ask the York County Commits
sioners to cooperate in building
a bridge across this river somewhere
between Columbia and Conowingo.
Quarryville Lions Club several
years ago made a survey Of traffic
and urged a bridge be erected at
HOLLYWOOD, the most logical place.
The proposed structure would be
self-liQuidating and would cost the
Lancaster and York taxpayers moth
ing.
1t would free "bottled-up'' por-
ton Of southern Lancaster County,"
Diehm said aud at tho name time
would enhance the value Of real
estate In Martic, Drumore and Con-
estoga Townships, and possibly even
in Fulton, Little Britain, CoIerain,
Eden, Bart, Providence and Sads-
bury Townships.
A steel bridge for three lane traf-
fic, costing about half as much as
the Columbia span would be suffice
lent, Diehm estimated.
If the HOLLYWOOD location ia de-
cided upon Christiana and Quarry
vile would be on the direct line.
The financing of such a bridge could
be easily accomplished.
