gold, Raya Garbousova, Simon Barere, Helen Traubel,

halls. Mr.. Kruger has anniunced his programs for the
first two months of the season with the explanation that
~"athaugh / have made out programs for the whole
Season, / don't wish to announce them at this time, be-
cause so many factors may conspire to make a change
of program desirable. / prefer to keep the program ma
king flexible and responsive to the moment.

The Wrangell sentinel., 1944-01-21

for the peace to follow so should every conscientious resident of this community be thinking of WrangelTs future and be willing. even if it costs a few cents extra. to keep his town prosperous and alive.
 Sacrifice2 Sure. it's sacrifice, but not a sacrifice comparable to com ing back from war without your sight, without hands. or legs, or with part of your face shot away. It seems grimly amusing 10 talk a. bout our sacrifices in taxes or higher prices over a thick T-bone with a side dish of peas swimming in butter. Somehow. pondering the recent pathetic news-photo of three Jap bullet-riddled bodies of Marines half buried in the sand and tide of Buna beach didn't swell us with pride over our sac rifices.n
 Naturally. we cant all go to war. But the least we can do is to carry on at home with the same faith loyalty and unselfishness as that with which our Wrangell young men are risking their lives. Faith in the future, loyalty to our own home town and Unselfishness in our efforts so that when our eager young men do come home they won't be able to stand and look down an empty Front street and say. Huh. nothtn' here. Guess I'll shove on"

No doubt students have heard cooperate. so often that the word has lost it's sparkle. It has become a meaningless word word which has no special point to it at all. merely something that has to be endured while teachers give their pupils pep-talks' or lectures on making their school run more smoothly. They regard it as just another word in the die tionary. whose meaning is far toe complicated to bother puzzling out. So therefore. why worry a. bout it? Everyone knows what it means anyway. in a vague and un- certain fashion so, why not leave il at that2
 People who take this attitude are merely sluggish and half d. wake They are very often in a mental "rut". in which state they no longer recognize things clearly. or take an interest in school ac- tivities. Pupils who find them selves thus. although some may not care to find themselves so, and continue in tthe same path. can no longer reap the full en- joyment of life. Many things are denied them, because they cannot pierce the veil of a clear forceful. and well-organized life. And, after all. what is life without co-opera- tion?
 would like to stress the fact that our own high school is being maintained without the usual quota of teachers. Since the staff has been reduced, each instructor has been called to do great deal more than his or her share. Surely we take enough pride n our school to help them out; to co- operate with them to the best oi our ability. It isn't asking very much to have your lessons in or time. to observe rules. and to ai( them in whatever manner possible That would truly be cooperation and in time Of war such as this, {;
 patriotic duty. Please take heed and cooperate whole heartedl!

NEED FOR COMMUNITY
 SUPPORT

Back in years gone by, long be- fore the cloud of war with Japan gathered into a thunderhead and broke over our heads there was q particular phrase which was our pst anathema. It said: Made in Japan" We were odd customers then. Never, knowingly, would We rurchase an article which bore that stamp. No violently impelled patriotism or clairyoyance prompt ed such a practice. Rather, plain seIffshness. We'd read of indust- rislists in Japan paying laborers fba eouiyelant of 10 or 12 cents a day to compete with tthe Ameri- ,an market. We just didn't like the idea. We liked the American standard of living and were will ing to pay extra to maintain it, as must have been thousands oi others.
 With Wrangells latest quota of Graftees called to service, tthiS community will have we'll over a hundred of its men serving Uncle Sam.

There are ten students in our typing class this year. and Phyllis MacCreary is our only second year typist Jane Williams has acquired the highest speed among the first year typists her time being 27 words per minute. Every other day We have been having speed tests. and every Friday We clean our typewriters. We are required to have 225 minutes or more typing outside our regular typing class. At the end of every nine weeks We change typewriters. By the end of the school year we should be doing at least 30 words per min ute. so if We want to reach that goal some of us had peter gain a little speed.

floors. Do you know, I got so busy

The police dog was the first in

A couple of cows followed and she
arranged to have a neighbor boy
stop by and milk them. But one
night he didn't show up. They
were mooing so I decided to do
something about it," she explained.
Now I milk the cows all the time. -
Miss Rich has since delved deeply
into genetics and stock breeding
and her Chatsworth herd numbers

fords, IL Hereford calves, four mich
cows and four dairy calves. She is
interested solely in breed lines and
butchers none of the stock. Turkeys

dog, Chi-chi, a Dalmatian, complete
the menagerie. We'll probably have
a new calf before you go home" she
announced, eyeing Old Mousie, a
mich COW, in the south pasture
But Mousie disappointed us.
Miss Rich has two Mexican ranch
hands who 60 home nights, and q
housekeeper who comes in two or

She's alone at night, and she says
she isn't at all nervous. But she

Funny thing about this OIL" she
observed while we consumed the

once that 1t was covered with trees
and oil derricks. He wrote to Will
Rogers, telling him about the dream
and offering to sell him the land
but VIII never answered. Well
I've planted the trees now, and the

But won't derricks spoil the view

Inquired.
Miss Rich gazed dreamily out the
window. "Derricks," she said, "are
bee -utiful, and oil smells wonderful
when it's on your land. No, If they

nearly always turned into bits, CIV
ing him a line to speak. One of
these bits attracted the Crosby tall
ent scout, and a test clinched the
Sullivan role.
While waiting for the picture to
begin, the old competitive spirit
drove him hard; he went to a talent
coach, worked in camp shows, did
everything to improve himself to
take advantage of his break.
Just rs, Mcclure retains a boyish
quality that's pleasing. He is
friendly with everybody. As we
walked across the lot from the sound
stage to his dressing room, he hailed
every one by name.
Mcclure was rejected for military
service because of a trick knee. a
football injury. He's married to
schoolday sweetheart, Marjorie
hoover OF Oakland; they have a
22-month-old daughter, Teri Ann,
whose doings and sayings are re-
tailed to folks at the studio. Home
life is important TO Mcclure. On
the occasion of his contract sign
ing, they celebrated by going to
every night spot in town, and that
spree has lasted them up to now.
He's a great reader. can quote poetry

Irene Rich has ranch in the San
Fernando Valley, and that probably
would be the most commonplace
observation you could make about
q Hollywood actress were 1t not for
several rather fabulous things about
this rarlch-and about Irene.
First off, she really works at
ranching. Second. she recently &C
quired a $1,000 bull named Aster
Domino because she raises bloOded
polled Hereford cattle on this ranch.
And now-wouldn you know it?-
they've found oil on the property.
All of which is such contrast
to the sentimental letters to Dear
John" which Miss Rich lengthily
enacted on the radio that we
shamelessly wangled an invita-
ton to 60 into this matter of bulls
and oil firsthand
In the driveway we were greeted
by some go ducks and geese. A police
dog weaved nervously in and out of
the flock.
Don't mind Nicky," said Miss
Rich. HE knows one Of the flock is
missing I just shot a goose for our
dinner"
It's New Skill.
While we tried vairly to recall
any Western in Miss Rich's film
career, she added: Go ahead and
vince. Three years ago I wouldn' t
have killed a rattlesnake, even If I
could hit it. But I got this fellow
right in the neck with a 90"
This simple rural life started just
after Pearl Harbor, when Miss Rich
discovered she was sick and tired of
city apartments, traffic and servant
problems. She had this hilltop land,
treeless and barren then, but had
never seriously considered doing
anything about it.
