ALASKA PAYS TRIBUTE TO BISHOP ROWE

On November 20 Bishop Peter Trimble Rowe observed his 85th birthday On Sunday, November 30, he will mark the 46th anniversary of his concecration as Bishop of AL aska, the oldest active Bishop in the Episcopal church.
 To Bishop Rowe on these memor- able occasions go the congratula- tions of this newspaper and count less felicitations from his thousands of friends of every sect and creed throughout the north. To this great churchman-a gentleman, a scholar and a genuine friend of mankind Alaskans feel great debt of grati- tude for the fine work he has car ried on throughout nearly half a century. Alaska is proud of Bishop Rowe as one of its illustrious men who has had such an important role in building the Territory.
 Only few men are privileged to be actively engaged in their life work at 85; fewer have steadfastly fol- lowed their Saviour and pointed the way to other men for 46 years in the face of the hardship of raw, frontier country. Bishop Rowe has done these things, and more. Where ever men speak in the north of Bishop Rowe they speak as of a friend; a man of God; a man among men.
 Thus 1t is that on this occasion men and women throughout Alaska pay their respects to Bishop Rowe, a fine, Christian gentleman.

DON'T SAY WE DIDN'T WARN YOU

Around a mighty short corner isl Christmas. Thanksgiving, both kinds Democratic and Republican-hasI folded it's wings and the last gob- blers neck has been deyoured. Twenty-six more days and we areI going to start kicking ourselves forj not keeping that self-made promisel to do our Christmas shopping early.
 Aside from that human trait Of procrastination to which we all are heir, there isn't much excuse this year for not getting started on Christmas shopping without running into that last minute jam. The sea- son was good to Wrangel this year. By now every one has counted his dollars and knows just about how much he can spend at Christmas time in bringing happiness to oth- CTS. After all that is what we all aim for at the Yuletide. Wrangell merchants, aware of the uncertain " of getting merchandise due to the national defense push, have with foresight ordered their Christmas SlDEhb carry A1duy ndbC all GpANy bA ken them out for display. You'll find at the stores a wide variety of the things you want to get this Christmas for some one. Buying which you know full well you are going to do when you get around to it, if done now has the twofold ad- vantage of the privilege of wide selection and ample time in which to get your gifts in shape ready for giving at Christmas. If you are mail ing to other parts of the Territory or| Outside, the time is even shorter. Postoffice officials always advise mailing early in December to assure delivery in time for the great day. For foreign lands, your parcels should be in the mail by the first of the month, and if you'll glance around at the calendar that is next Monday. See how fast the time is flying?
 Don't say we didn't warn you. Christmas is around a short corner that is getting shorter all the time.
