be seems to be anybOdy's guess. Al any rate. the CIO isn't making any predictions. Latest slate from the CIO of Ketchikan and Juneau lists seven candidates for the House they say should be elected next Tues day. namely. A. B. Cain, of Juneau Fred Hanford of Wrangell, Chris Hennings of Pelican City, Andrew Hope of Sitka. Joe krause of ket- chikan John Olafson of ketchikan and Frank Peratrovieh of klaWock. With eight to be elected to the House in this Division, CIO leaves one blank. The above are all Demo crats. The eighth Democrat seeking a seat is Curtis Shattuck of Juneau. who. incidentally, ran in fourth place in the primary.
 There also are eight Republicans seeking House seats, and, in keep ing with the policy of this peerless family journal to see that all min critics get a hearing, their names. are Ralph Bartholomew, H. W Benolkin, Samuel Feldon, Edmund J. Krause. Anita Garniek. Frank Price, c. J. Sullivan and Steve Nukoyich.
 CIO also is going down the line for D. L. Bartlett for Delegate, Ralph Rivers of Fairbanks for Att torney General, W. Leonard smith of Nome for Highway Engineer, and Andy Gunderson, Norman R. Walk CT and Joe Green for the three Sem ate seats from this Division.
 We've been hearing from June Elliott Carlson, who was mem Der of The Sentinel staff for many years and who remembers the hot lead "squirts" on the old linotype machine that burned holes in herl woolen dresses. So from Terre Haute, Indiana, we give you June:

 August 26, 1944 Editor of The Wrangell Sentinel, l 'Wrangell, Alaska My dear Mr. DeLOng:
 You don't know us, but The Sentinel is one of our oldest friends, 1 so when we received a batch of the l papers through the mail this morn | ing from Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Carl-l son, we felt impelled to send al message. Since we have been away l from Wrangell for a good manyl years-about 16-I believe, we had not been getting The Sentinel late-l ly for the reason that we seldom saw names of any we knew-sol great has been the change in pOpu-I lation. However, whenever my hus- bands parents found news thatI they knew would be of interest tol Us, copies of the issues carrying itl have been mailed to us; hence thel news this week.
 MT. McCormick's passing brings sincere regret, and we feel deep sympathy for his family I doubt ifl any of the oldtimers had more friends than did MT. Mccormick.
 We were interested too, in thel news of the moving of the Senti- | nels headquarters.

We happen to know because We were there! This writer was the hand type-setter up to the time the ma chine was installed, having been there in that capacity for four years. When the machine came in, she went out-temporarily. Since Mir Carlson and I were married that summer. you see I could hardly forget the datel It was 1922. When we came back to Wrangell to live a few years later, I again worked at The Sentinel, though only on a part-time basis "a relationship whikc existed for four more years So had an opportunity to get ac- quainted with the linotype, and more than a speaking acquaintance it was, I might add. I haven't for gotten some of the hot lead 'squirts' that burned holes in my woolen dresses. But it was all in the days work and we are filled with nos talgia at the remembrance of those years.
 With the exception of writing a news column for a weekly paper on the Sound near Tacoma for one year, I had not done newspaper work since leaving Wrangell, until little over two years ago. The labor shortage here brought an in yitation to join the staff of a good weekly in Terre Haute, The Satur- day Spectator, an invitation which was joyfully accepted.
