 STRESSES NEED FOR

The people of Europe face a critical fall and winter, and wheth- CT they are on their way to normal life by next spring depends to a considerable extent on the help Americans give them during the next few months, according to w w. Aldrich, President of the Ma tional War Fund.
 Mir. Aldrich made this statement in a report to Mrs. Doris Barnes following his return trip to Euorpe where he visited England, France Holland, Czecheslovakia and Ger many.
 Mass starvation and death by freezing are NOT likely to occur in Europe this winter, in my opinion" said Mr. Aldrich, but there will be great suffering unless the peop- le are provided with more of the enecssities of life in addition to essential food and clothing. These necessities are the things which the agencies of the National War Fund are seeking to provide

WILDLIFE AGENT
 EXPLAINS BIRD LIMITS

Some misunderstanding seems to have developed among local bird hunters as to the possession limits on ducks and geese, Wildlife agent Howard Baltzo said this week Last year, a total of IS ducks could Oe taken in a daily bag, but this is no longer the case, Baltzo explain ed.
 The daily bag limit is now TEN ducks, no matter what kind are taken. In addition to this, the hunter may take four snow geese and two Canada geese in his daily bag. These limits are not inter geable-thus a hunter out for a one-day shoot could not legally have in his possession, for example, thirteen ducks, one snow goose and one 'honker", the Wildlife Agent emphasized
 Possession limit is just double the daily bag limit. Thus hunter out two days or more on a trip can legally have in his possession twen- ty ducks, eight snow geese and four "honkers"

Stikine Claims Life Of One Man; Two Others
 Have Narrow Escape

Details of tragic death and near death on the Stikine, near Tele- graph Creek, were brought to town this week with the arrival of the BRE river boat Hazel 8 when it arrived in Wrangell from it's final trip up river this season.
 The river claimed the life of William Aiken, of Telegraph Creek on the evening of October 9, and Walter Simpson and Dan McLennon also of Telegraph, barely escaped with their lives.
 Returning to Telegraph Creek, after snagging operations on the river, the three men reached Glen ora Rapids, 14 miles below Tele- between large rock in the river and the rapids, a huge boiling comber swept over the bow of the boat, drowning the motor, Seeing the boat was lost Simpson and Aiken grabbed their eiderdown sleeping bags for life preservers and took their chances in the water. They were swept down stream two and a half miles in the rapid current.
 About 30 minutes later Simpson was washed ashore on the bar at Brewery Creek just a few minutes after hearing what were evidently the last struggles of Aiken to stay afloat, for after reaching the bar there was no sign of Aiken.
 ~ Thinking MsLennon, who had stayed with the boat, also dead, Simpson walked 14 miles back to Telegraph Creek through the dark ness to report the tragedy.
 Next morning the Hazel B 3, captained by Al Richie of Wrangell set out for the rapids in an attempt to find trace of the two missing men. Near the rapids, on a bar Ill the river they found McLennon who had paced back and forth through the night to keep warm. They took him aboard. No trace of Aiken was found.
 Drama entered the picture when, just a few minutes after McLennOn had been picked up, the water of the river suddenly rose four feet, washing over the bar where Me Lennon had spent the night, sweep ing the boat away with it's force
 History of the Stikine has claimed some thirty lives since days of the gold rush in the Klon- dike and many bars of the river are named for men who perished on them through the years.
