THE sTIKINE, WRANGELL's
ACE N THE HOLE

Announcement comes this week
that the Union Oil Company had re-
ceived the contract for supplying
gasoline and oil TO the Watson Lake
airport development in Canada. The
first order is for 1000 gallons OF
diesel oil and 10000 gallons OF gas
oline. Every bit OF il is going over
the dock in Wrangell There will
be much more, but il gives new
significance to what the Stikine Ri
yer means to this town, which has
been the takeoff point for the Can
adian interior for half a century.
Coupled with aerial. transportation
and the ultimate construction OF the
international Highway, the river
can and will give Wrangel a steady
and substantial growth.
Applications already are in for
permit TO haul freight and passen-
gers by air between Wrangell and
Telegraph Greek and thence on into
Interior Canada. To facilitate such
traffic. the Chamber OF Commerce
recently asked the support Of Dele
gate Dimond. Long delays have been
resulting in getting permits to fly
into Canada, thus hampering the
natural traffic.
The Delegate is taking the mat
ter up with the Civil Aeronautics
Board and action is anticipated
shortly. Meanwhile. he writes:
Your request is so eminently rea-
sonable that l believe it will appeal
to our authorities and also to the
Canadian authorities Standing on
the Mccormack Dock for a week has
been the first of a shipment of
trucks, tractors and other equip
ment going into the big base. 1t will
be hauled up river by the Barring
ton transportation Companys en-
larged fleet of river boats and
barges as will the thousands OF gal
Ions of oil and gasoline for which
contract has now been let.
Wrangells ace in the hole is the
Stikine and We should pass up no
opportunity to further it in every
way possible.

frequently lay awake at NIGHT
wondering how to increase his in
come. He was not so much en-
crossed in improving his living
conditions as he was in be-
ing able to buy books. The
thought of attending an institu-
ton of higher learning he had to
put aside altogether.
When twenty-one he was chosen
TO serve as the government Rabbi
IN his community. This post did
not necessitate leading in prayers
IN the synagogue; it merely meant
that Sholem was to serve as medi-
ator in disputes which involved
only Jews, and to perform civil
weddings.
Sholem's earnings were very
meagre even when serving as Gov
eminent Rabbi. After holding
this post for three years he de-
cided to give it up, as it took too
much of his time which he wanted
to devote to writing.
X 4 X
At Soffieffke in the Ukraine, a
small town located not far from
Luben, where Sholem had been
serving as government Rabbi, liv-
ed rich land owner, named Loew.
This man was confronted with the
problem of finding a competent
instructor for his two sons and
daughter. Loew's estate was fam
ed for its beauty, as its master
was famed for his wealth.
Hearing of Sholem's ability as
an instructor and of his commend
able character, Loew decided that
he would interview the teacher.
After the interview Sholem was
at once invited to come to Soft
ieffke. Loew was confident that
Sholem would be the proper per-
son to guide and teach his child
rem.
Sholem and Loew's daughter,
Olga, fell in love with each other
after only a short acquaintance,
but they had many difficulties and
life did not run smoothly for them.
The wealthy father could not re-
concile himself to the thought that
his lovely daughter, who was ac-
customed to ease and comfort,
might marry poor man. The
courtship was clandestine and they
never went out together. They
managed to prolong their hours of
study extra minutes so that they
could be alone together each day.
They held hands while sitting
closely and exchanged tender
chances. Every living glance had
to be stolen, so guarded were their
hours together. For two years
their courtship continued under
the most trying circumstances.
