For a light at night in the sick

in darkness, but the light will be
on the floor, where it is needed.
When painting around windows
or chromium fixtures, first apply
vaseline on the windows and fix
lures. Paint will not stick on the
vaseline, and when the paint is
dry, rub off the vaseline and clean
with rag moistened with gaso-
line. This will do away with re-
moving paint smears from the
glass and fixtures.
An oilcloth cover made to fit the
ironing board will be found very
useful. It makes good protector
when the board is not in use, and
protects the clean cover when
brushing and sponging outer gar
ments.
Next time the children don't
know what to do, suggest they

making and the wearing!

More flowers will be worn during
the coming months than have been
worn for many season past. Years
ago, it was the fashion to wear flow
ers at your waistline. The pendulum
of fashion has swung back to this
charming vogue. The young lady
pictured is fashion-wise as to flower
technique prescribed for this spring
and summer, in that she positions
cluster of pretty spring posies at the
waistline of her prettily styled rayon
dress. Note that the becoming neck
line is finished off with detailing
that is matched to that used on the
skirt panel and sleeves. Duration
kind of wear is assured for the rayon
material used for her chic gown be-
cause it bears a label indicating
that it has been tested for dry clean

MAYOR HAYES OF
 JUNEAU AT ELKS
 SOTH CONVENTION

"It was 9S.3 degrees when ar- rived in the convention city and l didn't get cooled off for three days Tn take Alaska" said Mayor A. B. Hayes. back from Chicago. where, as delegate from the Juneau Lodge he attended the S0th annual con vention of the Benevolent and Pro tectiye Order of Elks.
 Held July 31 through August g. the convention this year unani- mously elected Dr. R. S. Barrett Of Alexandria. Va. author, executive and philanthropist. as Grand Exalt- cd Ruler. Mayor Hayes reports.
 As Exalted Ruler, pr. Barrett proposed that the Elks raise more than s6.00O,0OO to aid returning veterans by taxing it's members $10 each. The plan was outlined by Dr.. Barrett in his acceptance speech following his election. when, speak ing to delegates he said that the scheme had been adopted by his home lodge and was highly success ful He further reminded the dele gates that the Elks has a member ship of 650.OO0. with 75,0O0 of these members being in the armed forces.
 Mayor Hayes stated that the grand lodge voted to purchase $65,- 900 in war bonds. This was in ad- dition to the s24,OO0,O00 worth of bonds which the lodges throughout the country now hold as invest ments.
 The Elks this year. Mayor Hayes said, has been asked by the war veteran hospital, to secure 1000 nurses and an additional thousand casual employees to aid in the la bor shortage with which the insti- tutions are now faced upon the re- turn of wounded from the fighting fronts. The campaign will start im- mediately and it is hoped will meet with the same success as those par ticipated in last year by the Elks, when the lodge not only filled the quota they were asked to in solicit ing aviation cadets for the service, but overdid k. They also aided greatly in the campaign for recruit ing Seabees for the Navy and con- struction engineers for the Army, the Mayor stated.

that the local cold storage facilities are unable to handle the Stikine eohoe production, which is a con- dition that the gillnetters are cer- tainly not responsible for. It is also brought up in the aforementioned article that the OPA ceilings make it impossible for the local cannery to can fish at that price, which is also a condition for which the gill; netters are in no way responsible.
 Another item brought up is that the town and territory will be the losers as wilT also the local cannery help by our selling to the Canadian interests. I wish here to stress this point: In good years in the past our production has run as high as one million pounds, and a good year will run 75O.O0O pounds or more. Using 8OO,0OO pounds, which would be a good season, as a basis for our figures. a one and one-half cent in- crease would make a difference to the fishermen of S12,OOO, or an av- craze of $500 for each fisherman. This sum, placed against any pos sible loss to the town Hhrough our not selling locally, is far too great for us to sacrifice, because after all with us this is purely a business matter, and I think you will find that all businesses, locally or other wise, look to their own interests first. Almost every dollar of this money would remain in Wrangell and Petersburg, since all the gill; netters are residents Of those towns This cannot be said of the local cannery help as a whole.
 Another point which I wish to bring up is the matter of competi- tion-, Wrangell is well-known for its lack of it. That is one thing that has made the businesses of this town thrive, whether it is fish buy ing or merchandise. Wrangell busi- ness people have always resented outside buyers coming in here to bid on our fish, but I wish to state here that in the past we gillneUters have been thankful for the Canadi- an market for the echoes We can all remember when it was the only market for our echoes. and prior to the war the local cannery bought our fish and delivered them several seasons to the Canadian side, claim ing that the Canadians had better outlet for the canned echoes. We have every reason to believe that this condition will again return after the war, and therefore we shall do nothing to jeopardize this market.
 "The opinions that have been stated herein are my own, but feel certain that they reflect the point of view of the gillnetters as a whole I sincerely hope that I have been able to clear up a misunder- standing which has existed in the past between the gillnetters and the business men of the town each time We have invited outside buyers to bid on our fish. By their under standing of the true facts of the situation, surely they must. agree that We have acted in the only way open to us under the circumstances.
 Respectfully yours.
