THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE

Death of Senator Arthur P. Walker last Sunday has thrown the poIiticos into a three-ringed dither with a candidate hiding Dehlha every lamp post.
 A P. died at the U. S. Naval hospital in Shoemaker, California following cancer of the lung from which he had suffered for some time. The Senator had been in the veterans hospital in Portland, Orea since last summer but a few weeks ago was permitted to visit his home in California and see old relatives and friends He had hoped to be back in the Territory by the first of the year but he suffered a re- lapse and death overlook him last Sunday morning.
 A. P, 57, was a native son, nav ing been born in the golden state, but left home at an early age to make his own way. He came north to work on the Alaska railroad, later worked at mining, hand log ging and a great deal of the time fishing. He was elected to the Leg islature in 1885 and again in 1939 as a member of the House. In 1922 he was elected to the Senate and served in the session of the 1943 Legislature in that body from Peli- can City, First division. Other times he had served the First from Craig where he lived for a good many years.
 Honest. sincere and with a reDu- tation for fairness. A. P, was, as he often put it, from the great common herd. He was American to the core: a member of that great fraternity of average Americans which make America tick. He was a veteran of the last war and inn bued with realistic, progressive ideas.

HEALTH COUNCIL

To establish a Public Health council, leaders of WrangelPs civic and fraternal organizations have been requested to attend a meeting at the Fire Hall on Thursday, No vember 30, at 8 pm. Il. c. Me Rowan has offered to serve as tenn porary chairman, pending appoint ment of permanent officers.
 What It Is
 A ieLJer rom Dr. BerueUa BiucE, director of the Territorial Division of Maternal and Child Health and Crippled Children's Services, says that health council lis a selected or appointed group and forms a nu- cleus for the study of individual family, and community health prob lems"
 Quoting further from pr. Blocks letter, "The hope for greater per sonal efficiency and total health for the public lies in securing more healthful daily living on the part of the people Information gained at the health council meetings should therefore not be confined to the circle of it's membership, but it should be passed on.
 As an organization, the council is a channel through which all adults in the community may gain up-to-date health information. How ever, we are still students of life and should continue to learn bet ter ways of living. Hence we need to have the new advances in health promotion and disease prevention systematically pre- scented to us through authentic channels. What is more, most of Us need constant inspiration to put what we have learned into practice"
 0biectiVes
 The rules and regulations of one Alaska public health council has set forth it's objectiyes as "To assist in interpreting the public health program to the community in or der to have it adequately supported and used. To assist in maintaining high standards of service. To assist ] in developing a cooperative pro- gram with all the public health agencies in the community"
 Needs Active Support In order to encompass the entire community, all organizations have been asked to send representative to the meeting, but individuals without affiliations who are inter- ested in the welfare of Wrangell are welcome to attend, since tn ( council will prove of value tc everyone

While the Democrats and those of progressive thought are going to miss Senator Walker in the legis- lative sesison ahead, already there are several preparing ito grab the torch where he left off. The Terri tory's election law provides that in the case of a vacancy of this nature that a special election shall be called by the Governor and any body can run, regardless of party or other utilization. Actually, legal minds claim the law a little baf- fling, but the original bill passed by the Legislature in 1881 defin- itely provides for a special election and it is expected one will be called Result is that the boys - and girls-are getting busy To date it looks from the Periscope seat that Howard Stabler, Republi- can, who ran so well in the last general election, will bid for the seat. It is also being told around that Allen Shattuck, Democrat and former Senator, may permit his name to be entered Juneau labor groups are fairly well decided on F. F. Davis, secretary of the Ju- neau CIO union. The young progress sive group are out for Ernest Par sons. former Juneau city council man and operator of an electric shop in the capital city. Womens groups are doing some sounding out from Mrs. Betty Mccormick, wife of former Territorial Repre- sentative John Mccormick, who is prominent in club and Legion af- fairs throughout the Territory. There are others being mentioned, but the fact that two Senators from the First are from Ketchikan and one is from Haines, leaves the door fairly well open for Juneau, or the north end of the division. The election, if and when called, will effect only the First division, and will be conducted in the same manner as a general election.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1944-11-24

Couple of the most amusing newspaper incidents in the Terri tory at this writing is the efforts of Editor Bill Baker of the Ketchi- kan Chronicle and Editor Bill Car ter of the Juneau Empire to do a little editorial hedging. Editor Baker, after declaring in super special edition that Alaska was on the way to pot, aided and abetted by Interior Secretary Ickes a d his department. because Indian res ervations were most certainly going to be created, has suddenly got a hunch the reservations are out. It may be his conclusions were drawn from statements made by Secretary Ickes, Gov. Gruening and Delegate elect Bob Bartlett. At any rate he is now trying to re-convince his readers it wasn't the way he really heard it in the super special and that, after all, maybe there won't be any reservations.
 Editor Carter of the Empire is much in the same predicament. one is led to believe from his editorials One of those things: I told you sc before and 1 tell you once again but I tell it different this time Any way, it's Ickes fault So there Edi tor Carter credits the Sentine

Still another rancher provided his
