Horses Win
 Youngsters

The blue nOsed baboon of the Big Top never created the sensation among the young sophisticates of down below that Jumbo the big handsome boy brute and his two nameless cayuse companions creat- ed in Wrangelrs very much young CT set this week.
 The appearance of the three hor- ses destined to be pack animals for the Groundhog Basin mine proper ties was nothing short of a spectac- ular event for at least forty one Wrangell youngsters, who had nev- eI before seen a horse. Oddly enough, it was the children aged nine to eleven to whom the horses were the most novel sight. A great CT proportion of primary children had seen horses before than those of the age group mentioned above.
 Not only were a number thrill led by their first sight of the first equine visitors il Wrangell fer many a long year, but to a few came the thrill of actually riding horse. The black cayuses were obliging little beasts and trotted docilely up and down the hill to the target range while the small riders bounced preeariously up and down on their sharp withers
 Thursday was declared 'field day. at the school and everyone from the sixth grade down went to visit the horses.

Supt George Fabricius and members of the school board reported many children reporting tardy for school and that probably all earlier curfew would assist the problem. It was al so stressed that during war time effort, streets should be cleared as early as possible to facilitate war effort activities.
 No further action was taken on the scrap drive, pending word from the 18th Naval District relative to probable transportation. H. C. Me Rowan was named head of the scrap drive committee in the absence of Walter c. Waters, who is in the south.

 Street Work

City Council at it's regular monthly meeting last night received and formally accepted the resigna- tion of Street Commissioner Harry Coulter, who has joined the U. S.. Army Transport Service, and duties of the position were delegated to Chief of Police c. H. Lloyd, no ad- ditional man being put on at pres ent. With the fine cooperation giv= en by the Coast Guard and the Ar my military police, Council felt it unnecessary to continue two men on city police work. Under the new arrangement, Night Marshall James Lovett will handle the police work and Chief Lloyd the street and fire department. Oscar Carlson, Wran- geu pioneer, who has been substi-I tuting for Street Commissioner Coulter during the summer, asked to be relieved of the duties and was given a vote of thanks for his fineI spirit in coming to the aid of theI town during the emergency man shortage this past summer.

 Council advanced the curfew hour to o'clock after receiving request | to that effect from the Chamber of Commerce and similar suggestion from the Police Department.

 All other towns in the Territory have strict curfew law, some ear Her than g o'clock, Police depart ment reported, and it is being rig idly enforced during war time.
