WHITTIER. Alaska = Some en- terprising candidate for office seek ing election in a state where a hIll billy band is a must in the cam paign strategy, will probably mark down the Pribilof Five in his post war future book once he hears of this native musical aggregation.
 For this group of five natives can give out with the corn in true hill billy style and from the reception accorded the crew by CT audiences at this post, the Pribilof Five is a definite hit.
 All five of the members of this band were born and raised on the Pribilof islands. located west of the Alaskan mainland and famous for it's seal preserves.
 Since music at camp fire gather ings is the major form of recrea- tion on the Pribilofs, it was natu- raj that the children were given musical instruments and allowed to pick out various tunes. All fiv e members of this band had played with different musical organiza- tions on their home islands.
 The five met for the first time at Juneau, Alaska, since they were inducted into Uncle Sam's forces about the same time They were all transferred to Excursion inlet for training and it was while sta tioned there that they banded to- gether into what is now called the Pribilof Five.
 Before they had a chance to make a public appearance the army decided to take advantage of their sealing experience and they were sent to their home islands during the summer of 1943 with an army sealing expedition, a W m e assignment which was repeated this past summer.
 It was in November 1943, when they had been assigned to an infan- try unit at Fort Richardson that they made their first public ap- pearance. They are all proud of

having made this debut by enter taining group of hospitalized men at the station hospital
 Their talents were limited to jam sessions around the barracks last winter. but when they were assigned to the army post at Whit tier in August of this year, they really hit the spotlight.
 Assigned as dining room order lies and KPs with a port unit, they started playing in their own mess hall during the evening dinner hour. on alternate days. The men liked the music so well they placed a kitty near the orchestra and con tributed loose change literally every time the group played
 When the new service club was opened the Pribilof Five won the opening night talent contest and the S25 cash prize. Since n they have been in demand at vari- ous post functions.
 Pvt John Hanson Jr., violinist, is the leader of the group. Pvt. Alexay J. Merculief is one of the guitarists and his brother Isaiah IS the accordionist. Pvt. Ermogen Le- kanof is the other guitarist and Pvt. Martin Galanin strums h @ banjo in the band. Not one of the men ever had a music lesson and all five play entirely by ear.
 That hill billy music heard on radio programs must nave made an on them is apparent when they start strumming away on their theme song, "The Pribilof Blues, written by their leader Private Hanson. It is a cOmbina- tion of When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain" and 'The and the Coys," with few other good corny tunes thrown ill for good measures. But when the CT listeners start whistling a stompfng and ask for more, you know the Pribilof Five has hit upon an entertainment secret.

BIBLE QUESTIONS ANSWERED

 An Exodus 24:12 God said to Moses: Come up to Me into the mount. and be there: and l will glve thee tables of stone, and law. and commandments which l have written; that thou mayest teach them" And He gave unto Moses. when He had made an end of communing with him upon Mount Sinai. two tables of testl- mony. tables of stone, written with the finger of God Exodus 3l:1S. Moses broke these tables when ne came down the mountain and saw the peoples sins. After that, God said to him: Flew thee two tables of stone like unto the first; ana l will write upon these tables the words that were in the first taDles' which thou brakest." Exodus 34:l.

SOCIAL WELFARE
WORK CONTINUES
MANY OPPORTUNITIES AT
FoRDED BY MERIT SYS-
TEN EXAMINATIONS g.
Especial 20 tn. Citizen,

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. In
connection with the forthcoming
merit system examinations to be
held by the Merit System Coun-
Gil for IL classes of social work
positions with the State Welfare
i Board, Miss Martha Melon, who
heads the social work division
of the agency, in a statement to-
day called attention to the oppor-
&; tunity which social work offers
as career.
! Because of the rapid growth
of social work as profession"
she said, especially since the en-
actment of the federal Social
Security Law a decade ago and
the setting up of unsupported
| state-federal welfare programs
in the 48 states and territories,
; the demand for social workers
has continuously exceeded the
: supply. During the war period
the scope of social work expand
ed, so, naturally, did the num-
Der of those engaged in it.
SO keen has been the demand
for social workers on a national
scale that the Wartime Commit
tee on Personnel last May issued
an urgent appeal for 10000 addi-
tional professional social work
ers throughout the country. This
appeal was not directed towards
volunteers, but was campaign
TO attract able young men and
women into this field to become
qualifieda by .edueations and stain
ing for the MANY POSITIONS avail
able. Here in Florida the State
Welfare Board social work staff
has been depleted since 1912
and at present vacancies exist lin
various sections of the state. In
dicating the increased demand
for social workers, the Wartime
Committee on Personnel asserts
that the number of social work
crs in the United States has in
creased from 10000 10 years ago
to 10000 at present, as compared
to increases of from to III per
cent in other professions. The
1910 Federal census revealed
that about one-third of all social
and welfare workers were men.
1T is not likely that the de
mand for social workers will de
crease during the rcconversion
Period, when that comes, as in
peace and in war social work
serves the larger interests of
humanity"
Miss Nelson, in conclusion,
urges those who expect to adopt
social work as a career to secure
the merit system examination
announcements from the Merit
System Office p. o. Box l13,
Gainesville. She also suggested
that qualified social workers
who are not now employed get
in touch with the State Welfare
Board to learn about existing
vacancies.

Unsuitable ii o m i C i d e.
Was Verdict Rendered
Today by COrOner's
jury

"Justifiable homicide" is
the verdict a coroner's jury
brought in this morning at
the inquest into the death
Of Robert T. Miller, torpedo
man, second class, who was
shot and killed at midnight
Thursday by Patrolman Ber-
nard Waite while Miller was
driving off in Waite's auto
mobile.
Every seat i'm the court
house was taken and a good
many people stood during
the hearing. Fifteen wit
nesseS testified. and all their
testimony was practically
the same except that of a
shore patrolman, which was
slightly different from the
version given by the others.
Ten of the witnesses were
sailors and the others were
one Key West man and four
Key West women.
The gist of the testimony
was that Patrolman Waite
was driving in his car in the
vicinity Of Whitehead and
Southland streets when he
saw a group of sailors pull
ing pickets off a fence on
Southland street. about 40 or
90 feet from Whitehead.
PatrOlman Waite turned
his car and parked on the
south side of Southland street
about 30 feet from the cor
ner. got out, crossed the
street and approached a
sailor in the act of pulling
off "a picket.
He arrested the sailor,
started with him toward Du-
val street, and, when at the
corner, where the Holtsberg
store is situated, he saw two
sailors pass in his car and
called to them to halt. The
testimony was to the effect
that Waite cried out to
Haiti" st hree or four
times" and, when his warn
ing was not needed, he drew
his pistol and shot.
Immediately thereafter the car
plunged jerkily toward the east
side of Duval, Skidded over the
sidewalk, broke down a section
of the J. l.. Showers fence and
came TO a halt when it struck the
Strand theatre.
II was found that Miller, who
had been driving the car, was
shot In the back of the head. He
was taken to the Key West Naval
Hospital in an ambulance and
died half an hour later,
The shore patrolman, whose
testimony was slightly different,
said that Waite at first ran in
front of the car and called to
the driver three or four times
20 halt, and that during one of
those times he warned. If you
don't stop, I'll shoot" The car
sped by, and then Patrolman
Waite fired
After the jury had rendered
its verdict, Peace Justice Ira
Albury asked the witnesses if
