MAGIC PRESENT
 AT PRESS CLUB
Genial Host, Maurice Chaude, Has Best Trick;
 Makes Check Vanish

Maurice Chaude pressed" at the Press Club last night and put on one of the best parties in the history of that famous Brook street institution. The occasion was the annual meet ing of the Society of American Ma gicians. MagicianS were here, there, and everywhere, and from here, and everywhere, and points beyond.
 The bird-cage trick and a brand new one were performed by "Mau- rice" himself. The new trick is one of the most unusual in the history of American legerdemain. Maurice made the check disappear.
 Mention was made at the meeting of the late Houdini, who had a fairly good reputation as magi- clan, but it was generally agreed that he could not pull rabbit out of high hat as deftly as Maurice Chaude, the host of the evening.
 The Great Leroy" Geroy Mo- Cafferty of Meriden was one of the hits of the evening and he shared honorS with Vinn. Boyar of Bristol, Ira Williams of New Haven, and William Stoddard of Hartford.

As an expession of their interest in Finland'S success in defending herself against the attacks of the Russian forces scores of Waterbury citizens of Swedish, Danish and Nor wegian descent have rallied here and made special contributions to the Finnish Relief Fund.
 Several hundred dollars have been contributed in various ways and by benefit events, Joseph A. SuIndin, local chairman of the Scandinavian Division of the Finnish Relief Fund in Connecticut, announced today, but a written appeal has been sent out seeking additional contributions.
 As a result of the appeal Oakville residents have donated $44 and local residents $13750 to the fund which is now being raised and credited to the Scandinavian committee.
 Chairman Sundin in an official statement declares that Finland in carrying on a determined fight against ungodliness, greed, injustices and Communism, is fighting DO. only her own battle, "but ours" Russia and the further progress of Communism must be checked he de- clares in his appeal for more funds.
 Formal Appeal
 MT. Sundin's statement reads as follows:
 'The following contributions have been received for the Fin nish Relief Fund from Americans of Swedish birth or extraction Telephone calls were made to some whom it was thought, could sub- scribe, although they had previ- ously contributed freely. Gustave R. Johnson, Sunnyside avenue. Oakville, was asked to receive don. ations for Oakville. This he did with the gratifying result that $44 was contributed, testifying to the generosity and interest of the peo- pie for the Finnish sufferers, mak-

ing a total of $l37.5O. Appeals will also be made during the week on those of Norwegian or Danish extraction. Further subscriptions are thankfully received. Every cent collected has gone for relief work. The expenses of the Hoov- CT Committee were guaranteed before work was started. The heroic defense of the Finnish peo- pie has captured the world, but it has taken away the wage-earner; air attacks have compelled the evacuation of civilians from towns and cities and hundreds Of thou sands of women and children are homeless and destitute. Many are refugees in foreign lands. We.a Il must keep on helping until the Films regain their independence. They are fighting not only their own battle against ungodliness, greed, injustice and suppression of all political and social liberty, but also our battle. The further prog ress of Communism must be stopped, if we as a democratic na- tion shall survive the future.

pie tied their canoes to the peak.
 After the waters had receded, the Shakes people killed one of the bears, making a mask from it. As one bear mask is worn out another is made to replace 1t and this custom was continued by the tribe until on- ly a few years ago. At Potlatehes, or at times when a slave was to be sacrificed, the Chief. wearing this mask, would pretend to emerge from a cave and stealthily approach the slave, bound and tied to the ground and strangle him.
 Another interesting legend in con- nection with the flood is told of how it is that each particular tribe in different localities speak different dialects of the Tlingit tongue. It is closely akin to the Tower of Babel of Biblical fame. At the time of the flood another group of people took refuge in a large canoe. While rid ing the flood waters, a storm blew up and the canoe, battered by the seas and wind was broken up. Part of the people drifted here and some there on pieces of the wrecked craft Ever since their language has dif- fered so that a man going from one village to another mrst learn the dialect of the locality he visits be- fore he can easily converse with its inhabitants.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1940-05-31

Threading through the traditions of nearly all races and religions of this world of ours is a story of a flood. As the Christian has his Noah and his Ark so also have the Tin gifts, back in dim ages before writ ten records began, their hero who led the red man up onto a high place out of reach of the rising wa ters tapping at his heels. The hero was a grizzly bear, the high place, Cone Mountain on the stikine River.
 One of the Totems before Shakes House with a bear perched atop a tall pole and bear tracks making a pathway up the pole commemorates this great event.
 When the flood came the Shakes tribe was camped on the Stikine near Cone Mountain, their summer abode. As the water rose the peo-

pie, frightened, fled to higher ground. Fighting their way up the mountains through the tangled un- der brush, they came across two grizzly bears who were also seeking refuge in high places. At first the people were frightened but the bears instead of being unfriendly, showed by their actions that they wanted to help the Shakes people and took the lead in helping them to safety.
 Finally, the party and the twoI bears reached the pinnacle of Conc Mountain where they stayed until the waters of the flood receded. ForI any who doubts this story, the h. dians tell you, you have only to goI up yourself even today, and there you will see the impression of theI ropes petrified into the stone of the mountain where some of the peo-
