BURROUGHS UNITE WRANGELL FAMILY FIRST
 TIME IN TWO EARS

Mr. and Mrs. William Gross are happy parents today. For the first time in two years they have all their children at home. and be- sides their small grandson, five months-old Daniel Lee Thompson.
 Sgt. William Gross who has been stationed at Ketehikan since going in the Army two years ago, arrived in Wrangell last Friday and the following day Sgt. Danny Gross, who has spent the last 16 months in the Aleutians arrived home the day following Their daughter, Mrs Jack Thompson whose husband is also in the Army has been making her home with her parents since last fall with her small son. Other children of the family are Douglas and Harvey, who attend the local schools.
 Both of the young Sergeants handsome and dapper in their uni forms expressed happiness at be- ing able to be at home at the same time to make it a family reunion.
 It was suggested to Sgt. Danny that he must find a great change in Wrangell with so many of the local boys gone. Sgt Dan grinned. Sure, I miss the fellows but it's still home and looks pretty good to me-"
 Young Sgt William (Bin) ex- pects to take examinations short ly for Cadet training. Not enough excitement in my outfit he said. "I want to get into action"
 Mr and Mrs. Gross just beamed. It was good to have all the child len around the family table once more-with little Daniel Lee as an added attraction.

CHAMBER PROTESTS
 INCOME TAX FORM;
 GRASS-GROWN STREET

Chamber of Commerce at it's regular luncheon meeting yester- day noon in the Civic Center went on record to send a protest to Con gress against the present income tax form, urging it's simplification. It was charged that the form for this year is so complicated that no less than the Secretary of the Treasury can understand it and it is a question whether he would be willing to put himself up as an expert on it.
 By comparison,' said one mem Der "the Einstein theory is a cinch."
 Chamber voice is added to a tumult of similar protests which Gave been filed Throughout the country. New York Herald Tri- bune ttried a ttest on six Treas ury income tax men and no one came out with the same result.
 If the experts can't work it out how do they expect an ordinary person to do so?" asked President H. B. Thornquist.
 Chamber also filed a protest to Alaska Life, Edwin Kraft's radio station magazine against h e Wrangell representation in its re- cent annual edition. Editor Dean sherman obviously had dug deep into the archives for the picture of Wrangell revealed grass grow ing in the streets where actually today the bank and Campbell Bros. store stand. Only a gold rusher of '98 probably would be able to place the street as being part of Wrangell of today.
 Request of the Juheau Chamber to back Regional Forester Frank Heintzleman' plan for an auto ferry from Prince Rupert to South east Alaska ports was referred to the post war planning committee.

WAR LABOR BOARD TO
 ALLOW 12 ADDITIONAL
 CANNERIES, s. E. ALASKA

The Regional War Labor Board has agreed to allow twelve ad- ditional canneries to operate in Southeastern Alaska this coming season, c. Don Miller agent of the local cannery workers union said this week.
 There has been definite word concerning the operation of cer- tain canneries already" Miller continued, and Wrangel would be included in his category if we are able to furnish the labor whier is necessary. We are anxious tC have another cannery operate here, as it would mean that much more money would be circulated in his community thar is really needed on account of the scarcity of essential industry here, but at the same time, We must supply the labor"
 A labor survey was made here last spring Miller pointed out, and according to the registratio enough labor. especially wam## was assured to supply the Farws cannery. However, Miller addes when it was time for the canncf, to operate, over ten women who had registered, failed to report for work consequently working a on both the cannery and the local union.
 Miller announces that registra- tion will be open Saturday after noon at Andy Johnson's store from 1;3O to 5, and anyone who desires to work in the canneries this snm- mer, will sign up at this time This applies to both union mem bers and those who are not affil- lated with the union.
