ALMOST FORGOTTEN SPECIE
 OF HOMO SAPIENS DROPS
 IN THE SENTINEL OFFICE

This week, while nOrthb0und steamer was in port, an almost for gotten specie of homo sapiens drop ped into The Sentinel office. Be lieve it or not-a TOURIST.
 Out of Seattle on his first trip to Alaska, this unique specimen was just making a trip through the Territory, a thing I've always want ed to do."
 You have a nice town here" he said, I'm greatly impressed with it. Looks like a place where I'd like to live"
 Further inquiry disclosed that come Victory, this tourist, for one, had ideas of coming to Alaska to live and his primary purpose in making his present trip was with that ultimate goal in view.
 Seems like everyone in the States is coming to Alaska after the war" he said. Lots of people 1 know are actually saving their mon ey now with the idea of invading our last frontier to establish them selves here Or to visit what was once an important war zone close to Seattle. Pm just looking around. Going up to (whats that town up in the interior?) oh, Fairbanks and then Anchorage but I'm keeping Wrangell in mind I like the ap- pearance and location of your town and the people aren't too busy to be friendly Now, Ketchikan-"
 But we won't go into that. Need esls to say, The Sentinel heartily agreed that it was published in the finest town in Alaska, with great possibilities as the gateway to the Interior via the Stikine. Advised him to look the other towns over carefully-he'd find none superior.
 Seemed almost like old times.

WAR DEPARTMENT
 SAYS NO SOAP ON
 AIR CORPS WOLF HUNTING

WASHINGTON - The War De- partment has turned thumbs down on suggestions of Rep. Warren Mag nuson, Washington Democrat, that Army airplanes and personnel be used to hunt wolves in Alaska to reduce the dangers to the reindeer herds. The Army said the funda- mental principle of the Army is to make men and supplies useful to the military effort, and they are not to be diverted to less vital ac- tivities. However, the Alaska Army command said it was fully aware of the danger to the reindeer herds with the increasing wolf packs and it had been granting leaves to sold iers for the purpose of hunting olives.

Quebec Legislators
Vote 10 Keep Drafted
Canadians al Home
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
QUEBEC, April 27-The Legisla-
tive Assembly adopted by 55-4 vote
yesterday a motion expressing dis
approval of any move to send con-
scripted Canadians overseas.
The motion was presented by Rene
Chaloult, Nationalist member for
Lotbiniere, who said Canada no
longer was in danger of being in
vaded and asked that conscription
for service within Canada be abol-
ished.
The Chaloult motion said chat
this house reafflrn1s its unyielding
disapproval Of sending recruits
idraftees) overseas, following a re-
cent speech by the Minister OF Ma
tional Defense. Mr.. Ralston, who
declared that II IL becomes necessary
1t could be done by taking the ap-
propriate measures.
"Conscription for military service
in Canada was instituted because
there was supposed to be a danger
Of invasion" Chaloult said. "If Fed
eral authorities were sincere at the
time they should abolish It now
since there Is no more danger Of an
invasion for Canada"
He added that the question.
although being a Federal matter,
was OF FIRST Importance" for
French Canadians and that the
Quebec Legislature could not be
disinterested.
Canada 'has no business In the
war;" he declared, and said the best
way to prevent conscription "is to
step out of the war"
Britain and the United States
have millions Of men in the armed
forces and since those countries,
together with Russia and China,
have something to win in the end,
their soldiers should be used to Ali
In the holes" he said.
