WRANGELL INSTITUTE FALL OPENING DELAYED
 UNTIL OCTOBER FIRST

Wrangell Institute will open Oct ober l, 1t was announced this week by Principal George T. Barrett. Through error, notices have been sent out from Juneau that the school would open September 1. but this will be impossible, MT Bar rett explained, as it is necessary to care for the Aleutian refugees be- fore accommodations can be made ready for the students. Many of the eYacuees, which are at the h. stitute, have been established at Burnett and others will be taken to the old CCC camp at Wards Cove near Ketchikan. More than 200 ref ugees have been cared for at the Institute since the evacuation, tax. ing the institution to more than capacity. Dishes, beds, etc., used al the school have been put into ser. vice for the Aleuts and it will be necessary to get this service back to somewhere near normal before school can function, the Principa, said. Thus, the date of school open. ing has been advanced to October 1

LEY Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO-All Germans except diplomats who have embark ed on the exchange ships Bage and Cuyaha, were ordered held as host ages today by President Getulio Vargas shortly after the sinking of the sixth Brazilian ship in recent days was announced The ships all ready were filled with German na- tionals ready to sail for Lisbon in exchange for Brazilian nationals The voyages had been postponed earlier in the week when a crisis arose over the sinking of five Braz- ilian ships by Axis submarines, claiming the lives of perhaps six hundred persons. The sixth U-boat victim, announced yesterday, was the coastal steamer Jacy. sent to the bottom a few miles off the north east coast after all aboard were or dered off in life boars. While this announcement brought a new crisis to the undeclared war off the South American coast, maritime sources reported that still another submarine was sighted this morn ing in the eastern South Atlantic. Two submarines have been sunk since the sinkings. One by a United States bomber; one attacked and two others sighted.

Wilcox Explains R0TC Setup At
 Chamber Lunch

1 Arrangements have now been com pleted so that students enrolling in the University of Alaska can at the same time be enrolled in either the Army or Navy reserve and be given time to go on with their school work H. c. Wilcox. Dean of the School of Mines at the University, said this week in addressing the Chamber of Commerce luncheon. The R. o. T. c. at the University has the O. k. of both the armed ser vices who are cooperating in the program. It is best for the student to enroll first at the University where arrangements are then made for him to enter the armed reserve. Cost for a year at U. of A, runs be- tween $65O and $750.
 Wilcox, who is remembered here for his mining extension work, isl on a swing around the Territory inI the interests of the University From here he went to KetchikanI and then will swing back 10 the Westward. He reported the mining season in the Interior fairly good, despite the shortage of labor as al result of jobs going begging at high wages on defense projects. R. J.. Sommers, we'll known Alaska con- tractor. was advertising to pay $500 per month for truck drivers atI Nome where he has contract for an airfield and couldn't get them.
 Wildlife Agent H. R. Sarber also was guest of the Chamber, outlining the hunting regulations for the sea- son. Grouse and ptarmigan season opens August 20 and remains open to January 31. The limit is 10 birds per day. Deer season opens Sept. Is this year and is open until Nov. 15. The limit is two bucks with horns at least three inches in length. Moose season opens Nov 16 here, too late for hunters in the Stikine area as the river probably will bel closed.
 Water fowl season is from Sept. 21 to Nov. 29. Birds can be kept for 30 days after the season closes thus including the holidays. Bag limit is the same as last year.
 T. J. Mcbride, long a member off the Chamber and who has now gone south, was honored by the group. President H. B. Thornquist in fare-' we'll remarks naming him delegate at-large to any Chamber of Com merce he happens to visit while Outside.
 Following up it's effort to improve express service, the Chamber wired Railway Express Agency, urging 1t to continue sending express by CPRI or first available boat. Last CPRI boat brought a large consignment of express.
