STOCKTON MAN COMES NORTH
TO SPEND SUMMER WRANGELL

Al Raether of Stockton, California,
arrived in Wrangell this week tot
spend the summer in this section. |
He has planned to make an Alaska
visit for many years, he said today,
and decided that instead of making
a quick tourist trip over the main
travelled routes of the Territory he
would come to Wrangell, get ac-
quainted with the people here and
see all that he possibly could of this
section.
One of the first things he did was
to catch a ride out the highway to-
the road camp then hike to the end
of construction before turning back
to town. He left the highway near
the Institute and hiked up the new
trail to Rainbow Falls which he de-
cIares we'll worth the effort involved
and a wonderful recreational attrac-
ton. He tramped through the Park
:. on both sides of the road, investigat-
ed the ski slide and says that his
first impression of Wrangell was
the beauty of it's setting and the
next the wealth of opportunities for
recreation. A score of things to do
to have a good time, which costs
real money in the states, lie right
at hand here, easily available to ev-
cry one.
Mrs. Neil Mcdonald, who has
been in Stockton, for the
past three years, until recently has
rented an apartment from Mr. Rae
Their. She sent personal regards
through him to all Wrangell friends.
When Wrangellites tell him that
the season is backward this year,
that we had more rain than usual
Raether laughs heartily and says
That sounds exactly like Californla.

Cops surged into the ring to hold
the crowd back. They dragged Jimmy
to the center and raised his hand. The
spectators went wild. When Jimmy
turned away he saw that Garrison was
conscious again, and that the young
fighter was staring at him peculiarly.
Jimmy went over and shook hands
and said something about being sorry.
He would have walked back to his
own corner then, but Steve Garrison
stopped him.

to ask you something. You planned

reach Mrs. Guterman on the tele-
phone. She is at Atlantic City. Will
she be surprised! Ha-ha." The Presi-
dent of Rapture rubbed his big white
palms together "a cigar, Conoway?
And also you, young man. Why not:
A big day.
1--WE we're just discussing the details,
Conoway." 1t was the eager voice of
Bresselin, the advertising manager.
"Of course, we'll put it on the air with
appropriate ceremonies"
"How about a double page an
nouncement in all issues of the trade
press?" Haley inquired of the group.
"a good idea," Mr.. Guterman
agreed benignly. Make it in COLOR
eh? Why not? A thing like this doesn't
happen to a company every day.
Young Bill resisted wild desire to
leap upon the presidential desk and
demand that they talk sense.
Guterman was speaking again. To
Conoway. Beaming.
1T is all in your hands now,
Conoway. Maybe you are wondering

the bewilderment out of his eyes.

"Nonsense" Mrs. Tupper broke in
on the halting words. You're too
modest, Laura. My part is really too
small to mention merely discovered
the germ of the idea. You should have
full credit for developing it." Mrs.
Tupper's voice fluted with admiration.
"You and the rest of the group. What?
OF course, l believe you picked the
right one. Absolutely"
She whipped up the word with all
the hearty assurance she could muster
"When? Why not Monday? l under
stand MIR. Guterman will be pretty
busy on Tuesday" Then she leered
into the mouthpiece. That leer would
have frightened Young Bill.
Mr.. James B. Conoway was not
drinking man. But there comes time
in every mans life when he feels that
he must let down, or else. And this
time came to him the Sunday evening
before the critical Tuesday when the
fate of the Rapture radio program
would be decided. Like every job he
elected to take on, the busy V.P.
executed this one of letting down in a
thorough fashion.
In consequence, he came to con-
sciousness on Monday morning under
the dull and painful conviction that a
munitions factory was exploding about
his ears. He turned over with groan.
But the detonations continued. Gin
. gerly he swung his feet out OF the bed
and dropped them to the hot carpet
A moment later he was staring with
hostile eyes at Bill Tupper, standing
in the doorway of his apartment.
His junior had no time for the social
niceties. "I've been trying to get you
for hours on the telephone" he cried.
"Guterman has been trying to get in
touch with you since ten o'clock"

The taxi rode like tumbrel.
But, if Marie Antoinette could

Young Bill managed fitting, if
feeble, smile. There is something I'd

This afternoon. Tomorrow! Next

The cab squealed to hasty stop.
Bill Tupper set his youthful jaw.
The first person Bill saw was
Guterman. But it was Haley. the sales
manager, who spoke. His voice came
out of large confused group around
the presidential desk.
"Ah, Conoway. glad to see you. And
YOU, Tuppcr. We've been trying to
reach you for hours. But you've prob
ably heard the news, eh?'

Mr.. Guterman had stepped aside
with a proud flourish and Ahere be-
hind him, nesting against 4 wide strip

1t was freshly engraved, but Young
Bills dilated eyes refused to consider
this evidence of the jewelers. art.
He could only remember, while his
heart pounded with both fear and a
strange surge of pride, where he had
Nast seen that cup. With a start he
recalled how his mothers eyes had
gone over his shoulders to the mantel
that evening he told her about the
uibulations of radio, to find inspira-
ton in the one athletic trophy he had
ever won.
Mrs. Laura Hennaberry coughed
and glanced across the room at the
vice chairman of the Civic Arts Devel-
opment League, who was buslly en-
gagged in combing scone crumbs from
his mouse-colored mustache. "You tell
her, Mr.. Barnett" she suggested.
"It's about the award the League
made in connection with the Rapture
program" he explained. 1t was crisp
autumn day month after the award
had been made.
Mrs. Abbie Tupper braced herself.
1t was coming! Laura never coughed
in that dry soft way unless she had
something up her honey sleeve. Poor
Willie! How he had worried ever since
he had seen that golf cup of his sitting
on Guterman's desk. Well, if Laura
Hennaberry had discovered, in some
unknown way, that Mrs. Abbie Tupper
had used Laura and the League to
pull her boys chestnuts out of the
fire Mrs. Tupper shivered. Laura
was vindictive when she felt put
upon. Had she suspected that, deep in
her soul, Mrs Tupper didn't believe
the program to be as outstanding and
significant as she pretended? The
broad Tupper fingers closed grimly
about the fragile handle of one of the
best Tupper teacups. At all costs.
Laura must not be allowed to take the
story to Guterman. what about the
award?" she challenged them.
Tt"
1t was not in Mrs. Hennaberrys
nature to let the little man continue.
Her voice took triumphant charge.
"You were the only one who had no
doubts about the wisdom of our pro-
gram choice, Abbie dear. So all the
credit must 90 to you. 1t really must,
isn't that so, Mr.. Barnett? Not that
all of us didn't believe it was really
significant program. But it's so pleas
ant to us and so helpful to the League
to have its first venture of this kind so
enthusiastically endorsed. But then
YOU haven't heard the great news,
have YOU, dear? OF course not. Yester-
day, Radio Reciew complimented our
award and announced that Rapture
would receive its annual plaque SYM
bolic of musical excellence. And this
morning, Mr.. Barnett heard that the
orchestra had received an astonishing
offer from Hollywood to appear in a
musical picture. Isn't that grand? 1t
Why, what's the matter, dear?"
"Who? Me?" Mrs. Abbie Tupper
took deep breath and tried valiantly
to screen the startled surprise in her
dark eyes by hastily lifting her cup
and gulping the tepid tea and lemon.
But it was weak stuff to attempt to
cope with the emotions which surged
within her ample bosom.
