 By "VIRG" NEWMAN

Afternoon folks. the reporter wish es to remind you again that Roll Call is only three weeks away. Now if you can't be there drop the sec- retary a card or see him and you will be counted. We want a large attendance.
 Now, brothers, we have some thing new; we installed a brother as organist and he really functions l won't tell who he is but come and hear our musical genius Our newly-made brothers are getting the idea of Elkdom for they are put right to work Brother Eide, Eastaugh and Mccormack have a little accounting to do. Brother Webb, newly enlisted in the service, gave up his office and it will be filled at a future date.
 We believe everyone will be glad to hear Ladies Night began last night with an exceptionally large crowd. Everyone had fine time. We saw some new faces and wish to extend 8 hearty welcome to all. Miss Dorisanne Barnes tied with Mrs. E. c. Anderson for ladies' high, but Mrs. Anderson took the honors. Mrs. J. A. R. Simmons took low. Your forgetful reporter won mems high. George Gunderson had to fight it out with Ernie Ander- son for low. George got the deci- sion. The lunch committee, Mrs. L. Curtis and Mrs. Oar Smith served very fine lunch. Of course, Broth CT Curtis and Brother Smith got the credit but the wives did the work.
 It was decided that Ladies Night is to be held every Thursday and the ladies are going to help. Fol next Thursdays committee we have Miss Sue Smith. Mrs, Ethel Fisk and the other "lady" a soldier, Bill Winn. Come and see what the sold fer can do with two women. | See you next Wednesday

COOPERATION OF HUNTERS ASKED TO KEEP DUCK
 HOUSE IN GOOD SHAPE

Acts of vandalism were recently committed in the Duck House on Browns Island on the Stikine Flats by persons who broke into the place, revealing both a lack of sportsmanship and consideration for the rights of others.
 The Duck House is actually the property of the old Wrangell Gun Club. The last couple of years the few remaining members of the old Gun Club have joined with the Stikine Sportsmen's Association of Wrangell and the Association mem bers have assisted in keeping the place in shape for persons hunting on the flats. A good deal of work and there is several hundred dol lars worth of private property kept there during the season.
 President Fred Hanford of the Sportsmen's Association and one of the original members of the old Gun Club states that it isn't nee e3sary to break into the house. If application is made to him, per mission can be obtained for it's use and a key provided for entering.
 The Duck House and fixtures arc private property and should be re- spected as such. The sportsmen oi this community are trying to keer it in shape for the use of those who enjoy shooting on the flats. The co operation of hunters is asked il carrying out this program of goot sportsmanship.

GAS RATIoNlNG

'
With the average life OF the ma
tons tires ebbing a. the rate OF
nearly 400 miles a month, official
Washington united on the urgency
of checking the lose. still wonders
how to do the job.
Although the fact was never for
mallv entered in the minutes, the
War Production Board gave APPROX
al for the institution OF nationwide
gasoline rationing in July. but &C
ton was deferred when President
Roosevelt launched scrap rubber
campaign. Now WPB Chairman
Donald VI. Nelson disclosed that an
alternative" to national gasoline
rationing outlined BY Defense
Transportation Director Joseph B.
Eastman. is under consideration.
The approximately 100000 mo-
florists living in the II states from
Maine TO Florida have been con-
serving tires for many weeks
through the enforced restrictions OF
gasoline rationing, imposed because
of the East's petroleum shortage.
The burning up" OF the nations
tires through unrestricted driving
as pictured by member OF the War
Production Board indicates that the
national average tire life was esti-
mated at 10000 miles on Jan. /,
1912. will be down 10 $500 miles by
Oct. |.
II no curbs are forthcoming. the
figure will be down TO 1000 miles by
next March or April, the limit
for recapping and retreading
At one time the nationwide gaso-
line rationing program seemed well
under way. Ration books were
printed. and OPA had employees in
the field ready 10 proceed with the
program The plan provoked intense
criticism in Congress, however, par
ticularly among members from oil
producing states. and the President
made preparations to study the rub
Der problem to see II rationing were
necessary.
While WPB officials wrestled
with the larger problem OF curbing
automobile mileage to save tires,
the critical East Coast fuel oil stu
alton threatened to force some form
OF gasoline rationing in the Mid
west and central states.
Oil Coordinator Ickes called Tor
5000 more tank cars from the Mid
west, Southwest and Rocky Noun
tain area TO haul fuel oil to the At
lantic seaboard, admitting that the
diversion might result in gasoline
and petroleum shortages In new

The present East Coast gasoline

version, restored peace (if and

recollection OF what followed few
wars back.
The experts are right.
Boom Inevitable
An economic collapse doesn't en-
sue as an immediate war after
math. It's a fact that the direct
demand for civilian supplies is ire
mendous, that a considerable
amount OF spending money has ac-
cumulated, and that It makes for
lively times while it's being broad
cast; that il creates a temporary
boom, but that a boom in the long
run is unhealthy.
Now, we had boom after the
last World war.
Everybody OF moderately mature
years recalls Il, and recalls the de-
preston that 1t led into. I don't
believe that anyone questions the
responsibility Of the war and the
boom for the depression.
Preceding that conflict was the
Spanish-American skirmish.
1t was OF small Importance.
Nevertheless, 1t furnished us with
a boom and a subsequent business
fizzle-a peewee, but significant.
Now we get back to the days Of
strife between the states. That's
too far in the past for me to COM
ment on.
