Six foot three and apparently an
antagonistic competitor, McCaskey
started wide-open warfare with
Capt. Roy Gown and several Of his
Pawnee teammates last night as the
spectators caught on to the game
and booed vigorously.
Throughout the game the Chicago
captain blocked and checked DO
cal" boys and girls alike, with the
onlookers cheering wildly when he
was outsmarted and spilled uncere-
moniously on the steeply banked
track.
McCaskey didn't provide all the
peppery highlights, as Bernie Abar,
the pretty Washington captain, and
Alicia Gadias, the Chicago blond,
started after one another on several
occasions.
The derby proved more Of an ex-
hibition than a sport.

Moving into the box from short

The Wrangell sentinel., 1940-05-31

Tn 1921 Father Francis Monroe was appointed pastor Of Wraugeil by Bishop Crimont. At that time he had been serving In Alaska 31 years, laboring in many of the difficult missions Of the Interior with the spirit of a true follower Of Christ He was 69 years old and HtIil active in mind and body in a way that caused the admiration Of all that watched him. He was not pleased with what he found and soon con- ceived plans for changing both the church and the exterior surround ings. "To make the House of God in Wrangell a less unworthy place for His Lord to dwell' was his am- bition and he set that task as tne crowning work of his missionary years in Alaska. Those who were here when he began the work ap- preciate the changes he has made in the church and on the grounds.
 Tribute To Father Monroe
 When forced to retire last May his great regret was that he had not completed his plans and that the fifty years he hoped to live in Alas ka were cut short by four. The church that is blessed Sunday is the last monument that he built of ma terial things in Alaska The tablet placed in the church tells us that it was through his effort and sacri- fees that the transformation was made. He planned it, he designed it. he secured the means to exeeuteI all that has been done.
 In gratitude for what he has done for us and that the indomitable spirit that prompted him to labor as he did over a period of 46 years in Alaska may inspire other young men to do likewise, a purse for the education of young men for the AL askan Missions has been started by Father Monroe's successor, the pres ent pastor of Wrangell, Father E. A. McNamara, to which anyone who wishes may contribute.
 Wrangell, named for Baron Fer dinand Yon Wrangell, a Governor General of Alaska under Russian re- gime, is the second oldest American settlement in the Territory and is rich in historic interest. It is the only Alaskan town which has the unique distinction of having been under three flags, first the Russian, for a time the British flag, and, since 1867 the Stars and Stripes.
 Other priests, not members of the Society of Jesus, who have admin istered at Wrangell are: Fathers Gallant of Plus x Mission in Skag- way, Dufour, Sulzman, Allard and Mandart.

UP TO GRAND JURY

ENUMERATION by a coroner's jury OF
IL CHARLIE ROBBINS, II, student bus driver,
in the death of little RACHEL VALERA JONES
at Leland last week, on the ground that sne
died in an unavoidable accident, should not
be allowed to close the case, as far as the
state school administration is concerned.
The tragedy should be brought to the at
tention of the grand jury of Brunswick coun'
ty. and the niggard policy of the system
which places the pay OF school bus drivers
So low that experienced men cannot live on
it and support their families, condemned so
strongly that the press of the state-the
mouthpiece of the ~people-will take up the
cry for reform.
In the final analysis, this little school girls
death dates back to 1933-long before she
was born-when the budget of the state was
revised. At that time it was found necessary
to do something about spending of the com
monwealth's money, to get the outflow IN
better relation to the income. Budget revision
downward was the result, and that would
have been all right if it had been uniform IN
all of the states departments. But by cutting
this one service of driving children to and
from school to less than ten dollars a
month, and so turning it over to immature
boys, the only persons able to do it at that
pay, the budget cutters placed the life OF
every school child using the buses in jeopar'
dy. That more have not died as the wee
JONES girl did must be attributed to the In.
PREVENTION of a kind providence, and not to
the action of the school administration, or
any other administration in charge Of fixing
rates of pay.
While some counties have been able to
supplement the salaries of the bus drivers,
and so acquired the services of competent
adults, the situation is far from cleared up.
The only way to clear it up is through public
indignation.
No better means of ~arousing public indig'
nation can be found than for the Brunswick
county grand jury to take a firm stand for
fair pay so that men of proved experience
and competency may be employed.

Editorial Comments
From Other Anq|es
A TALE OF TWO CITIES

The rivalry between the two most important
cities in the Soviet Union, Moscow, the new
capital, and Leningrad, the old pre-revolution-
airy capital, threatens again to come to the
fore as reports, indicate the dissatisfaction Of
the Russian population with the war, the long
lines at the stores and the hint in the rising
prices that the Soviet Union will probably have
to put its citizens back on ration cards before
the end of the year.
Leningrad has by far the most intelligent
and enlightened proletariat in the Soviet Union.
The Leningrad factory workers, who bore the
brunt of the fight against the czarist regime
in 1905 and again in 1917, in the revolt Of the
Bolsheviks against the Kerensky government,
have been left out of the picture since 1918.
The capital was moved to Moscow, and the
revolution passed from the hands of the Lenin-
grad bosses to those of Stain and his friends.
Leningrad has always been the center of the
radical opposition to Stain. In other parts of
the country there were certain groups of bour-
geois nationalist opposition, but 1t was only in
the old capital that the nucleus Of a real pro-
letarian opposition against the bureaucracy OF
Stain continued. The former capital is a bor-
der city, but that does not explain entirely why
it was passed up by the Moscow government
when housing projects and public works were
being carried out in other Soviet cities. On
the other hand, if one considers the lists of
the outstanding leaders in the purges, names
like Zinoviev and Kameniev. both former
