ELKS NOTES
By "Virg' Newman
B. P. o. E., No. I59b S. . s z. i. # '+ +

Our new Exalted Ruler, being his first night in office really did things up brown. Being married for twenty years to the day didn't seem to slow down his speech. I believe he even gets the last word at home. Two officers that were absent last week were installed by our District Deputy Hanford I don't know how our Exalted Ruler could influence our trustees to buy so many bonds. but since the other night We are nearly broke again, the trustees asked for some money for bonds.
 The new featuring Knight being me was clipped right off at the shoulders. When our secretary hunts for the rules and bylaws it is about tie to run for the ante-room.
 Ladies' night party was post poned until next Thursday because of the school program. We want a large turnout next week for we don't have many more.

ANDY JOHNSON BACK FROM
 OUTSIDE TRIP IN TIME
 TO BACK WAR BOND DRIVE

Back from an extended trip Out side this week came Andy Johnson, Alaska pioneer and long time Wran- gell merchant. Andy's first stop af- ter getting off the boat was the Post Office window to get some War Bonds in support Of the Second Victory Loan. The memory of man runneth not to the time when a drive was ever held in Wrangell and Andy Johnson's name was not among those at the top.
 Feeling fairly chipper again after a seize in a clinic in Portland Andy reports himself feeling fine and mighty glad to get home. Bus mess at Johnson's store is being resumed on a limited scale.

 It's reliably reported to the Per iscope that every other writer with an Alaska yen Outside is now writ ing a book about Alaska. Most have never seen it with the result that much of it is the business of dress ing up' old government reports. Top stuff on Alaska to date is be- ing put out by Corey Ford and AL astair MaeBain, who have spent time and study in the Territory, finding out what makes it tick. Ford's recent articles in Golfers on the Aleutians are about the best war reports to come out of the north and he'll shortly have a couple of books out covering the picture more thoroughly, returns from which, by the way, Corey is turning over to Army relief.

Ike P. Taylor, Chief of the Alas ka Road Commission, is going to head up the Man War Power Com mission in Alaska. Appointment has been delayed some in the mili tary affairs committee of the Sem ate, but indications are Taylor will win the appointment One of Alas ka's top men over a period of years, few, if any, better choices of a man who knows Alaska could be made
 Senate committee apparently held up the appointment on grounds that the item of $7,OO0 salary was too much and that it was a ques- tion if such an Alaska Director was needed. Delegate Dimond went to bat with Senator Bob Reynolds, pointing out that most of the diff faculties encountered in administra- tion of Alaska affairs is lack of knowledge and that the only prac- ticable and efficient way to handle activities of the MWC in Alaska is through an Alaskan office headed by an Alaskan director.

Sarazen to Have
Final Fling
Try for Miami Open
Title May Be His Last

MIAMI, Dec. II (UP) - Golf
dom's "Old Man" is coming back
home for a final fling.
Gene SaraZen, 4l-year-old coun-
try squire of the fairwayS, will be
shooting his heart out $50 perhaps
for the last time-to regain the
Miami Open title which IS years
ago, started him on the road 10
golfing fame.
But the little man in the knick-
ers will have his work cut out for
him when he tees off Thursday
at the Miami Springs Country
Club in quest of first money in the
twentieth annual renewal OF the
S.. 900 winter classic.
Between him and a 81 900 war
bond stand National Open Cham
pion Craig Wood and a half-dozeu

Sarazen, date back TO the days of
Bobby Jones.

This called for a little further
explanation so we asked HIM
about the boys who show 200
average in one league, or an
other. He replied quickly:
THAT is not fair test OF a
bowler's skill. An average car
ried i'm one house doesn't con-
stitute a mans seasons ability.
He may be able TO knock the
stuffing out of 200 average on
his favorite drives, but he can't
do II over a seasons pull bowl
ing on strange alleys and under
tournament conditions such as
the Times Classic bowlers face.
Rolling in a different estab-
lishment each week they per-
form on alleys which they
haven't bowled at all, or may
never bowl again. Next year
when they bowl in that house
they are not necessarily SChed-
uled on the same pair of drives.
As matter of fact they may
not bowl on them again IN
eight years.

When il comes TO figures on

Mertens is uncanny. In the

from memory. After all the Ma
tional Bank of Detroit didn't
promote him 10 assistant CASH
Ter because he added two and
two as five. But like all cashiers
Mertens needed a few days TO
make a careful check before he
submitted the following teams:
Joe Norris, captain; Walter
Reppenhagen, Fred Wolf, Cass
Grygier and William Kenet.
Charles Kotarski, captain;
John Crimmins, Fred Breckle,

Only Two 200 Men

Mertens didn't name them as
No. 4, 2 or 3 teams. but merely
three clubs each of which would
be strong enough 10 take on all
Corners nationally. You will note
he named the Stroh's team in
tact. We asked him why?
ANY team that Is good
enough 10 win the national
match game championship and
the Times Classic title seven
out OF eight years shouldn't be
disturbed" was his terse an
Swer.
Furthermore" he continued,
"this may startle you and many
others. hut there are only TWO
neutrality-suspicious. 200 average
bowlers in this city-Norris and
Crimmins, no others.
"You know, the term 200
average bowler il used much
too loosely by bowlers and fans
alike. To hear them talk about
their ability. or their favOrite
bowler's ability. the woods are
full of them, but there are only
two-NOrris and Crimmins."
