Ten Cutters
 Given Britain
 By Uncle Sam

WASHINGTON. D. C.. April IL Release of 10 coast guard cutters to the British government was an nounced at the White House this week by Stephen Early. presidential secretary.
 Early told reporters that the coast guard vessels have not yet been delivered to Britain, but are being prepared for transfer under the terms of the lease-lend bill.
 Early said he preferred not to disclose the names of the cutters. but said they were built from 1928 to 1892.
 No commercial ships or naval craft are involved in the deal, Early said
 The coast guard vessels will help replenish Britain's vital forces and will be used in maintaining her transatlantic supply lines. Early said. adding he thought the cutters though armed, had little more than one-pound cannons mounted on them.

Chamber Moves To Open Air Travel
 Across Boundary

Efforts to obtain more easy ac- cess of Alaska planes into Canada
 will be made by the Wrangell Cham
 Der of Commerce it was decided ar it's regular luncheon meeting Mon day in the Civic Centetr. Pilots re- port long delays in getting permis sion to make trips into the coun- try which in large measure, elim- mates the advantage of taking an airplane On one occasion here it took three days to get a permit to fly to Telegraph Creek.
 Pointing our the situation in communication to Delegate Anthony J. Dimond, the Chamber said:
 As you know Wrangell is on the approved list of CAA intermediate airfields and the field will be built when funds are made available. There is growing demand on the part of both our own and Canadian aYiators for such a field so the Sti- kline route can be used. This demand is enhanced by the construction al- ready started at Watson Lake of a Canadian airport and some 1900 tons of freight is being taken up the river this spring for this work.
 With this in mnd, the immed- fate problem we wish to call to your attention is the difficulty Am erican pilots, at any rate, Alaska pilots, have in entering Canada. This may be true in part to war restrictions, but aside from that permission has had to be obtained from Ottawa formerly, which has often constituted long delay des- pite wire communication. On the other hand, our customs service does everything possible to facilitate Can adian air traffic into Alaska
 We recently received from the British Columbia Postoffice service inquiry as to availability of a field here in connection with a proposed Wrangell Telegraph Creek Tu1- sequah Juneau Wrangell air mail route. We are anxious to dol anything we can to further such an but the first obstacle to us to be the difficulty in getting our Alaska aircraft into Canada with dispatch"
 To represent the Chamber on the Potlatch committee this year Presi- dent Thornquist, R. J. Suratt, Van H. Fisk, 2. M. Bradford and F. G. Hanford were named.

 Concensus of the meeting appear ed to be that the Potlatch, if held this season, should be in the fall, possibly around Labor Day, after the fishing season when more per sons would be able to get to town. Matter of dancers was discussed and it was brought out that Hoonah has team of dancers who participate in such affairs. However, it was stressed that the problem of dances and other Indian entertainment should be a matter for the Wran- eelI Indian people to deteFmine~

On the first Sunday after the first full moon after the 21st of March, that part of the feminine popula- tion which cares enough about it's to curl it's hair, blooms like the rose and steps out of doors to join the Easter parade.
 But nobody can bloom like the rose or even like the violet all of a sudden. It takes careful premed- itated shopping to produce an Eas- ter parader charming enough to catch the eye of a beau or the lens of a newsman's camera.
 The "best-dressed" women seem to follow one Easter parade form ula year after year. They choose costumes that speak for them with definiteness, the sort of thing that can be described in one line

Here's What They Will Be Wearing In The I94l Easter
 Parade, Says Style Expert

new tyles to your purpose.
 Here are style elements slated for Easter success, highlights of what you'll see on your spring shopping tours.
 In hats, six silhouettes appear in all the colors of the rainbow and then some. First, the sailor, small, -brimmed, usually deck ed out with yeils and flowers. This for suits.
 Next, a modified postillion, dip ping forward over the eye, strictly tailored for striking effect
 Exaggerated brims, right with soft suits and prints, are usually made with a softening flange edge.
 Bonnets perched well back of bangs or pompadour, for the sweet and pretty.
 Berets, flattened out, are worn straight on the head.
 Rounding out the half dozen, there's the flower toque, perennial Easter favorite.
 The classic tailor-made leads the suit parade, this year as always, and nothing looks better on the tall girl.
 Coats are full of style news You may or may not like the rococo coat with it's self-scroll or braid decor. ation, but it's a fashion leader.
 Spring furs are tempting luxuries The new little shoulder capes and short box jackets almost eclipse fashions standby-the fluffy ful scarf for tailored chic. Byrdie McNeill
