 By next winter you can expect our Club rooms to be pretty 'snaz- zy." Something new will have been added for Trustees have promised 10 have the rooms redecorated next summer.
 By fast talking, and, we hate to admit it of some of the Brothers, "tongue-in-cheek" listening on their part, Brother Newman was able to give us a detailed account of his hunting trip and why he failed to return on schedule Brother Thorn quist also gave us a very interest ing account of his trip pursuing the elusive roebuck He got home, any, way.
 Brother Bradley reported a very successful turkey shoot. In the ev- ening of Bingo Is turkeys and seven ofther awards were made. Mrs. Lars Eide took home the free turkey, which, We assume, is nothing but hash today.
 Between and 65 and 70 persons were present at the Shoot. and we are convinced Bro. Stan Fries car ries his own secret horseshoe with him. He was tied for a turk with another person. The good old card deck was resorted to. Stan didn't bat an eye when the other person cut a king. He just reached out and fvYr fho nf
 Brother Smith had a big supply of hot dogs, buns and coffee on hand for lunch. Bros. Curtis and Newman were not on the committee but were on hand and rendered some much needed help as two of the committee members were unable to attend,
 Bro, Biorge reported that the Trustees now have S3,0O0 in war bonds.
 December is Elks Memorial Sunday and Exalted Ruler Bradley is preparing a program for the Oc- casion which will be held in Elks hall. Further details next week,
 Interesting notes were received by the lodge from Brothers Krone, of Nenana and Chet Lloyd, Skag- way.
 Bro. Krone says in part: Yes l 1 do keep pretty well posted on 1895 through The Sentinel, but also en- joy getting a personal note now and then from the Brothers. l have To- cated two more Brother Elks here, so am no longer a lone Elk.
 Everything goes well here. l am teaching high school again this year in addition to being in charge of the Mission, and it does keep me busy. However, 1 manage to take time out for ice skating, skiing and driving the dogs.
 With every good wish to allthe Brothers....."
 In Brother Lloyd's letter We learn that everything is tops with the good Brother and his family and al- so that he is due to leave Skagway soon---for parts unknown and cen sored Brother Chet is working on vital war projects. He says he'll let us hear from him, though.
 The Auditing Committee, Bros. Mccormack and Eastaugh, with the assistance of Bro. Thornquist, are to audit the Secretary's and Treasur- CTS books
 i Watch for something very fancy on the menu next week. With an "eats' committe of Brothers Dick !, Moore and Al Ritchie anything can happen.
 Bro Hoop Wellons is reported to be southbound from his home, the past few months, in Skagway. We , understand he has job in the lStatsa-

Indicating the Jap is pretty we'll under control in Alaska, Gen. Buck ner. head of the Alaska Defense Command, issued an order this week lifting the bars on ttravel control permits effective Dec. l. 1t means that after that date permits will be necessary only when persons are travelling to military restricted dis tricts. Travellers on the commercial lines will be free to come and go very much as they choose and checking of passengers on and off of boats will be discontinued.
 This action following on the heels of the order lifting the dim out restrictions, reveals that slowly and carefully the war strain in Al aska is being eased. Incidentally, the dimout order apparently refer red only to the main street in Wran- gell. Little wonder United Press heralded to the world that the last restaurant in Wrangell was closing, going ,.off half-cocked as we all know.
 By the way, that damaging and incorrect littles item travelled with the speed of most unyerified re- ports of such nature. At least two persons in town received clippings on this boat from Outside papers, reporting the Hast restaurant in Wrangell closed, |" Item was credited to United.

 Brief visitor to Wrangell this week. was Charles Goldstein of Ju- neau, AIaska's pioneer fur buyer. For more than half a century, Char ley Goldstein has been in the fur business in the Territory, operating a fur store in the capital city and buying from the Arctic south. There are mighty few of the back trails Goldstein hasn't been on and us- ually he can tell you every creek in Alaska where there's a trap line. Doesn't travel quite so much any more. Has a fine young Alaskan named Bob Henning doing the in-I terior for him these last few years.

On u. ). 'Incompetents'

Administrative and supervisory
officials in the Federal Civil Service
who have displayed ineff1ciency, as
indicated in the House Civil Service

lowered or be expelled from the Fed

the House today.
He congratulated the committee
and Chairman Ramspeck on their
investigation and said:
1T is very salutary that the great
est friend civil service has in this
House IS the one who Is taking steps
to correct some of these evils.
The men who are in charge of
administration and supervision of
these employees and who neither ad-
minister nor supervise, and are un-
able even to furnish figures on alb
senteeism to our investigating COM
mittee, should be held responsible.
These men at the very least are
guilty Of inef1iciency and misman-

'Sectiona|ism' Is Opposed
In Freight Rate Study
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Gov. Henry F. Schricker Of In
diana urged today that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission be al
lowed to decide the controversy over
regional freight rates "unhampered
by sectional prejudices and pas
sions"
Southern Governors maintain tnat
higher freight rates on processed
goods shipped from the South and
West have held those regions oack
industrially.
Gov. Schricker, in a statement
presented by George N. Beamer,
chairman OF the Indiana Public
Service Commission, said there are
two sides to the question, and it is
so technical and involved that pas
sions ought not to be stirred up
over it.
Walter r. Mcdonald, Georgia pub
lie utility commissioner, testified
the South's shippers do not want
any advantage in rates-"We only
want parity"
Attorneys opposing requests of the
Southern Governors Conference for
an adjustment said that if the rate
structure were equalized. the South
would have to give up certain ad-
vantages 1t now has in shipment of
commodities; for example, pig iron
rates would actually be raised in
the South, not lowered.

Price Administration a five- point
program involving:
l. Immediate rationing OF all foods
and goods scarce or likely to become
so, without advance notice to en-
courage boarding.
2. Enforcement Of price controls
