ORCHIDS TO THE LEGION

One of the neatest jobs of organ ization enterprise and community betterment around Wrangell these days is being done by members of Merlin Elmer Palmer Post, Ameri- can Legion, and it's Auxiliary.
 Last year, when the Treasury De- partment grounds were being clear ed for the new Federal building, the Legion found itself without a home. The old Dugout, on the Fed eral grounds had been used through the years through courtesy of the Treasury Department. Legion and Auxiliary had spent a lot of money on it.They wanted to save 1t. Again the Treasury Department lent 8 friendly ear. For a small price, the Legion was able to buy the old Dug out building. After dickering with the City, long time lease was ob- tained for the site adjoining the city's gymnasium building and the structure was moved across to the new site, Custard and Meadows and the Macdonald Building Company, Federal building contractors, lend ing their support and equipment to the undertaking.
 It was pretty rickety-looking old building the Legion boys started out with. But they got busy. They braced, they built, enlarged, paint ed and what-have-you. They are still at it. And already their efforts are visible to the passerby There a new concrete walk, grounds are

Minister Protests
 Parking Violations
Cars Placed Too Close to ydrants; Side Streets Con- ,gested at Night; One.Way Streets Being Planned

A formal complaint of fire hy- drants being blocked by parked cars was made to the board of police commissioners yesterday in a letter from Rev. David P. Gaines, pastor of the First Baptist church. He also pointed out to the commission CTS the hazards existing on side streets by all-night parking of cars.
 MT. Gaines indicated that since the law was passed prohibiting all night parking in the downtown sec- tons of the city, the side streets away from that area have become choked with cars. The clergyman called the attention of the board to the close parking of cars made at entrances of alleys, driveways and near fire hydrants. Tn many instances, passage to the property owners is prevented when they want to drive into their own yard.
 Chairman William Verriker in- formed the board that his attention was drawn to similar complaints coming from other property owners, Mir. Verriker recommended an in- yestigation into the existing condi- ton be undertaken by the traffic commission with the other com plain0 also referred to the traffic committee for an investigation.

BRIDGEPORT MAN
 ROBBED OF $5,242
State Police Broadcast Alarm for Bandits in
 Maryland Car

Bridgeport, Conn.,, June 5-(UP)- Two bandits robbed Joe Castellucci. a grill owner, of $5242 today after firing one shot at him when he struggled to save briefcase con- taining the money.
 Castellucci had just cashed number of checks or nearby factory workers and returned to his grill when two men entered the place and ordered beers.
 Castellucci was in rear room as they started a dispute as to who would pay the bill, and he came back to the bar. carrying the brief case.
 One of the men pulled gun and confronted him:
 "Stick 'em up," he demanded. we want that dough. Hand it over." Castellucci tried to plead with them, but was struck on the head with gun butt.
 "WeIl show you whether we're fooling or not" said one of the men, as he snatched the case from the grill owners hands.
 His companion, meanwhile, was covering the bartender. As the two men started from the place, Castel- lucci arose from the floor to give chase. A bullet narrowly missed him and lodged in the wall behind his head.
 A third bandits was in the wait- ing car at the curb and the three drove off. Pursuers said the car carried Maryland license plates.
 Castellucci meanwhile ran out of the grill and hopped on the run ming board of Stanley Tyminski's automobile. They chased the ban- dit car until it disappeared in traf- ficA headed in the direction of New Haven.

 Hartford. Conn. June 6.--(UP) Ut cost the state of Connecticut exactly $607 ,006 to finance tho i94l session of the General Ag- sembly which closed Wednesday with the magic words: God save the state of Connecticut"
 Five months of endeavor pro. daiced an almost unanimous opin- ion among legislators and ohserv- CTS that the manner of appoint ment of minor court judges and county commissioners, which just about wrecked the present ses- sion, is the root of all evil.
 There is no question" one leg islator said. That something has to be done about the appoint. naent Of these judges. They will continue to plague all future ses. Siong unless a change Is fnade."
 A high.ranklng Republican in the House suggested that . form 0f district court bill which would make the minor court judgeshlps permanent, and at an attractive salary, was the answer to the problem. It was said, too, that adoption of the common pleas court bill, which placed these judges on circuit, was a step to. ward the solution of the minor court situation.
 This session of the assembly was completely stalled, because of pa. tronage matters. So long aS one politician wanted something, and had something to give, he held out on tho s0-called one.yard line "freesing" the bali until the final moments of the session. On a grander scale, that's what hap pened on the whole minor court business. It was "great stalp and naaneuver for position.
 Doing away with the minor court appointments in some way or another Is the angwer. A dis trict court measure may be one way, giving the appointment to the governor another. But then thig question arises:
 VIII the House members from the small towns. who broke away from their leadership late this session, willingly give away a great source of their power-the judges2 Many think not. Con. trol of the courts in the small towns means usually political con- trol Of the town. That's why they come to the legislature.
 And that is also why, as long as politics operates the way 1t docs In a democracy, there are many who feel 1t will be a long time before any change Is made in the present method of selec- ton of minor court judges.
 The Merit System Investigating committee, which did an excellent job in dlsSecting tho states civil service only to have its report thrown over. has been reappoint- cd and ordered to make another report to the 194S legislature.
