WE LOOK ABOUT US

Grand Rapids Herald-Review)
Sometimes we do not know what
to think Of America. We look about
us. We see so much distress and
trouble. There are so many with
out work. There is a shortage of
food, clothing and comforts in so
many homes. There are so many
children without milk, young peo-
pie without hope or opportunity.
There is distress and discourage.
ment everywhere. Sometimes we
think that America has really fail
ed. Then we look about us still
further. We see waste of every
kind. We see saloons full of men
and women. We see taverns full
Of young people. The toll Of slot
machines, gambling dens and race
tracks is hundreds OF millions Of
dollars each year. There Is extra
vagance and waste on every hand.
Not only is there waste of money
but so much that people do de-
prive them Of strength, ambition
and character. America could
live so well, so happily, so COM
fortably on what America wastes.

bet you saw a basket ball game
that delighted the fans. And that's
what happened Monday night when
for charity and an attraction OF
the Presidents birthday ball, the
Sank Centre Independents muscled
in on the Junior College Buccan-
GERS to take a 81 to 20 decision.
In an unofficial opening Of the
Sank Centre gymnasium the boys
found the new floor to their liking
for play but found its added length
did something to the cid bellows
too.
In the Independent lineup were
old favorites as the Dubois brothers
Pat and John, diminuitive Norm
De Gree; contrastingly the lanky
Cueball Keldahl, Vic Sieben, Larry
McKinnon and Larry Cooper. There
some exciting moments in the play
as the game went to rugged stages
John Dubois was pronounced Tues
day morning with only an ankle
sprain after it was feared the men,
Der might be broken after a tum-
BILE.
Coach Harold Rasmussen viewed
the ball game in this light The
ruggedness of the Indies and their
height advantage nullified the BUGS
greater speed.
Running a fever long enough in
the first quarter to advance to
to z margin, the Buccaneers
steadily lost ground from then on
A 8 point quarted stuck the Indies
cut in that three-point lead bracket
that they never relinquished. BY
he end of the third, the Indies held
a 20 to Is margin but a 10-point
last quarter for the BUGS finished
them strong and gained them back
into the running.

Grand Opening Of
New Gym Tuesday
Continued from Page one)

Erickson, a sparkplug, had the
drive of steam roller. He romp-
ed in for a 10 point scoring total,
to keep his ball club out in front.
At one time ace scorer, lanky
Frank Blanchard, center, gave
Sank Centre a Psychological NOM
ent to spring an upset. He went
out of the game just after the
half with his quota Of fouls, but
before he went out he left his
mark with an 11-point high scor-
ing total. But Sank Centre didn't
capitalize. Rather it rebounded
in the opposite direction and Alex
heaped it on for fair in disastrous
last half.
Sank Centre had its worst day
with nearly every department on
the down grade. Defensively they
couldn't stop Alex driving into the
basket. Extensively they couldn't
puncture a tight defense. Out of
at least Is tries at the free throw
lane, Sank Centre completed but
four.
Hildebrand, after seven minutes
had dissipated most of the first
quarter, took the only goal for
Sank Centre on a drive in shot.
But with Erickson, Blanchard and
Peterson scoring Alex went to an
8 to 2 lead.
Botz and Cooper, by virtue of a
brace of long shots, began the Sank
Centre second quarter scoring, the
best quarter of the evening. Mel
son got his first bucket under the
basket. Hildebrand closed the sal
vo with two handwriting for an
11-point quarter. But Alex wasn't
idle. Blanchard got four buckets
and a free throw to completely
dominate Alex offense. Alex led
at the half II to 10.
To the half it looked like Sank
Centre might get into the ball
game. A barrage of long shots
had clicked a few points, had made
Alex wary on the defense. But
under the basket, and one of the
strong points of Alex follow thru
defensive, Sank Centre muffed it's
chances for recovery. They got
one shot at a time, then Alex was
boring in again.
In one minute and a half of the
third Blanchard hit the showers
with four fouls. For a minute Sank
Centre was heartened. Four min
utes slipped by before anyone scor-
ed, then Erickson tumbled the first
bucket. With five minutes gone
Arneson converted one of the rare
free throws. Cooper got a long
shot that swished through the net,
followed it with a free throw. With
Peterson and Olson taking over
the scoring where Blanchard left
off, Alex moved to a % to II lead.
In the final with Rose, Peterson,
Peterson, Erickson, scoring, Alex
moved into a grand finale, had a
13-point inning. Nelson, who slip
ped from his usual scoring role to
tally only five points, was beset
with three men nearly all evening
under the zone type play. Cooper
moved into a high scoring role with
three long buckets and two free
throws for eight points.

Fair BuiIdinq Here Offered
 For Armory
Organization of National Guard Company Is to
 Proceed Rapidly

The Southeastern Alaska Fair Building has been offered by the Board of Directors for use as a temporary armory for Company A of the Alaska National Guard, Act ing Governor E. L. (Bobl Bartlett announced today.
 Acting in behalf of the Fair Buildings, Incorporated, owner of the property, the Board generously offered the building without charge so that there will be no delay in organizing the Guard here, Bart lett said
 Enlistment is now expected to go ahead rapidly. Applications are being accepted by Captc-a William Walther.
 Attitude Commended
 The directors of the Fair Asso- ciation and the stockholders of Fair Buildings, Incorporated, are to be commended upon their public spirited attitude" said Bartlett. Tt is a fine display of patriotism. Right now the Territory has no funds at all available for National Guard purposes and the fact that the Board of Directors has volunteered to turn over building, which. after all, is private property, to the Ma tional Guard is a splendid indica- tion of the reaction of this repre- sentative group of citizens to the need of the moment brought about by the present national emergency"
 After the annual Southeastern Alaska Fair has been held next month certain minor alterations will be made to the building, after which it will be ready for the in- tensive drilling which Company A will commence so it may be whipped into shape as competent military unit at the earliest possible mo- ment.
 Members. of the Board of Direc- tors that rendered the use of the Fair Building are J. F. Mullen, President; J. P. Anderson, w. B. Kirk, M. s. Whittier R. E. Ro- bertson, John Beck and w. s. Pullen. s

 Salmon Run
 Stii! Heavy
Declares Current Pink Hordes Greater than
 Any Year in History

Nick Bez came in from Todd last night aboard a cannery boat from his Peril Straits Packing Company plant and is a guest at the Baranof Hotel today, planning to go north today or tomorrow.
 Beg, reporting a pack of 66000 cases as compared with '29000 cases last year cn the bad end of the cycle and 97, ,00O cases the year before that, declared that the run of pink (hump- back salmon now in progress with the season closed, is the greatest fish run in history and is even bigger than in 1917"
 Beg makes the statement made by many ether cannerymen in the Chatham District this year, that Tt appears the escapement of fish in this run now is so large that spawning streams will be heavily burdened and the spawning beds will suffer
 We were able to fish only brief three CT four days during. this cur rent heavy pink run before the season closed. Had more fish been taken, the spawning beds would not be so crowded as they will be now It seems to be a perfect case for a later opening and closing date in the Chatham area if we are to pro- tect the run Of salmon in that dis trict.p
 Beg will fly north from here to Fairbanks and thence to Nome to look at mining properties in which he is interested.
