New Minister
 Arrives Here

Having battled successfully the problem of war time transporta- tion to Alaska to carry the Word. the Rev Ben F. Judd, Jr. and Mrs. Judd arrived in Wrangell this week to take over the pastorate of the Presbyterian church, making the last leg of their journey from Ketchikan via airpiane after com ing up to the First City by com mercial steamer.
 But accustomed to travel, beias the son of a widely traveled mini ter the Rev. Ben F. Judd, $. pastor CT the largest protestant CO., gregation in young | z. Judd throws it off with a smile al l acclaims Alaska one of the mo | beautiful spots he has yet saczl. well worth the inconyeniences oE war time travel. Nursing a miscr- able cold this morning, he was yet able to capture the beauty of the mountains and waterways visible from the front porch of the Presby- terian Manse, while he and Mrs. "ANd bi AfCh lhG pAOOitiii Ol 6CIllll5 settled, their goods having arrived by steamer ahead

 Eat, And How

Although Chairman Earl N, Ohm CT of the Alaska Game Commission and Frank Dufresne, Commission Executive Officer, will have to do a lot of explaining about the Pe- tersburg weather which kept them storm bound in the Neighbor town and unable to attend, the annual game and waterfowl dinner of the Stikine Sportsmen's Ass9ciation of Wrangell last Monday night was a gastronamical success.
 Sixty men and women members of the Association and their guests filled the long periodically decor ated tables in the Civic Club 10 ca pacity. Capacities also were unani- mously reported after President Chef Fred c. HanfOrd and his as- sistant Secretary Chester c. steear had finished dishhg up venison, mountain goat, duck, goose and all the trimmings. which was served by Rhoda and Frances Hanford and Jane and Susan Williams.
 Here's the menu, revealing what the sportsmen and their guests ate, and how:
 Stikine crab cocktail. olives, hearts of Wrange1l celery, cream of Browns Island snipe nest soup, Wrangell reliance shrimp salad. duck mulligan, Duck House style; fillet of moose. Christian Science style, Zarembo young doe, a la Du- fresne; roast white goose, limited via Sarber; Lees special crushed potatoes, Farm Island carrots. Big Slough rutabagas, lumberjack coffee. Dinner style; slough water, wild goats milk and pump-gun pie.
 Due to the indictment weather which held the Game Commission party at Petersburg, the picture program to be put on by Mr. Du- fresne had to be postponed, but the sportsmen subbed with an im- l promptu program which revealed takers among the rod and gun fans which no one suspected on the duck flats Even big game guide Jim Lov- ett waxed pOetical and was offering odds after the banquet that he could remember the line he forgot in the Spell of the Yukon.
 Uniforms of the armed services sprlnkled the gathering and the sportsmen took cognizance of the occasion being the anniversary of Pearl Harbor with appropriate tri- bute. American and Alaska flags ] typified the event in the table dec orations, arranged by Mrs. Van H Fisk, Mrs. H. B. Thornquist, Mrs Winifred Williams, Bill Vim, Stan ley Fries and Secretary Steear.

Chamber Asks
 COaSting Hills

In order to avoid coasting acci- dents, Wrangell Chamber of Com merce at it's luncheon meeting Mon day noon in the Civic Center dir ected a recommendation to the Town Council suggesting that cer- tain streets be set aside for coast ing and that they be properly mark ed so that motorists will be aware of them. One boy was slightly in : jured this week as the result of running into a car while coasting onto the main street.
 Motion was also passed by the Chamber asking the Fire Depart ment to take over custody of the skating ponT adjoining the City Hall. It was pointed out that the skating pond was created by men in the community turning out with pick and shovel and digging it out, and that it should be put to the use intended. Heretofore, the Legion has cared for the pond but so many of its members are out of town active in the war effort, that the Post is unable to continue the work
 Following through on the scraI metal drive, the Chamber decided to contact the War Production Board in an effort to get transport. ation for the scrap south. Lack oi transportation south is keeping hun, dred of tons of srcap from going in. to the war effort from here, and ir similar communities throughout tn. north
