JOE MEHEREN
 PREDICTS BIG
 YEAR, ALASKA

It's going to be big year in the Interior and the Westward coun- try, according to the prediction of J. J. Meherin, wholesale broker, who returned on the Alaska last night after a months trip through the Yukon and Kuskokwim country Anchorage, Kodiak and coast towns.
 Activity in government work and mining has given business an inn petus that will carry it through a successful season, Meherin said.
 Only in furs was there a falling off in production. The fur take was about 50 percent of last year.
 Kodiak is booming with lots of activity as a result of the Naval Air Base construction
 Its a real frontier town" MT. Meherin said, Its like old days, with the camp going to town on Saturday night"
 Meherin is President of the Bar anof Hotel Company and represen- tative in Alaska of Hills Brothers coffee, the Imperial Candy Com pany and other manufacturers.

Italian American Bowling League

Remembering the outcome of the final round of last years pennant race of our league when certain team was seven whole games in front and pouted and bragged and called themselves champs, only to be losers in IS consecutive games and lucky to finish in second place, has slipped the minds of the Holy Cross team.
 With the league going snooty and uppish in the purchase of bowling shorts, the Holy Cross team re- queSted, in fact demanded, that the inscription of Champs, be put on their new shirt sleeves. Have ever seen such crust or moxie be- fore? I should say not!! Let's an- alyze this bunch of buns and cut throats which compose this team. "Matchless" Colangelo, the worst lead-off man in the league, is sure one red devil who should wear a loin cloth and horns on bowling night. Why?-to frgihten his op- ponentS, stupid! When Gorgeous Lombardi puts in his appearance, general pandemonium reigns. He threatens his opponent a sounding beating if he doesn't win. Look out for Brother Joe on that threat, Gorgeous" "Oil-Can" Spadola commits mayhem biting beautiful ladies. "Pug-Ugly" Garafola is cer- tainly dervish in action, acting with savagery which exceeds the unimaginable and "Floor-Mat" Lat ino the lovely red-head, claims to be the worry-wart of the team, as- suming the privilege Of being their anchor-man.
 Imagine this team as the champs --disgraceful, swelly and lousy. must ask the honorable president to call on extra special meeting tc remedy this only fault existing in our prosperous. well-functlonine league. champsll The 3S other members laugh heartily and cal Holy Cross-chumps.

The Stars are the new leaders of the Patriotic Pin league as result of their two game victory over Blues last Friday. The men of Duhamel came through in fine style in the last two games to go one game ahead of Captain Christie's Club on the seasons record. The Eagles won a pair from the Stripes and the lowly Reds managed to salvage one game from the Whites in the evenings other two features.
 We haven't last weeks scores a. vailable so a thousand pardon'S if we fail to mention some of syodr high games. We do know that Walt LaChance stole the spotlight with the weeks highest scores which pulled the 1.-TWO Minute" kid out of a terrific slump. They call him TWO Minute" because of his con- sistency of coming to work every morning and noon two minutes be- fore the whistle. Another Dagwood Bumpstead.
 Ralph Bradley and Mike Festa staged quite battle between them. Anchor men on the Stars and Blues respectively they opened up the first game with double strikes and went on from there to spill plenty of maple. Bradley had the upper hand when the firing was over, but not much. Bradley has more trouble staying on his feet than old Phil Scott, the one time horizontal heavyweight.
 Freddy Carosella celebrated his return to action by showing his mates the way in a two game vic- tory over the Reds. Fred had three games well over the century mark. After the regular matches, our right hand man reports that Perry White had Freddy show him how to throw a cross alley ball. Special attention will be focused on Perry this week by Bill German, who will try the same if Perry has any luck at it.
 Joe Ariola insists that Bob Pal mer tell of his 88 and 86 scores against the Stars last week. Pal mer was the last of the Blues to pay that nickel fine for games un- der ninety.
 Speaking of Joe Ariola, he's high average leader-has been all season for that matter with an average up around no. Joe showed up with badly damaged finger last week but still managed to roll some good scores.
 Eddie Duhamel, take bow! You came out of your slump like a big leaguer last week and personally piloted your team into first place How's it feel up there Eddie? Take good look around cause you prob
