FATHER aoUpIE LEAVES

The Rev. Father Goudie, s. J., for the past month pastor at the local Catholic church, left Wran- gell last Tuesday evening aboard the Princess Louise to return to his headquarters in Seattle. Father Goudie was here in the absence of the Rev Father Hoch, who has been visiting his mother in Los Angeles.
 While here. Father Goudie made many friends who hope that the not too distant future will see him return to Southeast Alaska to be stationed permanently.
 Monday evening parishoners of the church gave him a farewell party in the church parlor. Cards and music were enjoyed and fol- lowed by a delicious lunch served by members of the Altar Society. Father Goudie was presented with a Parker "51" pen, a souvenir of the esteem of his parishoners.
 Father Hoch, regular pastor of the church, was due to leave Seat tie today for his return home, by PAA Clipper. From Ketchikan he will fly straight to Petersburg with the Wrangell-Petersburg Air Serv- ice, where he will hold church ser vices Sunday, probably returning to Wrangell in the afternoon.

PRINCE RUPERT TO HOLD
 PORT DAYn WITH REGATTA

PRINCE RUPERT, B. C.-Coast- al citizens of northern British Col umbia and southern Alaska are now in the midst of making pre- parations for a gigantic regatta to be held August 22. This will be the first time Port Day has been marked here in more than six years.
 During the war Prince Rupert harbor was a scene of grim reality. Ships laden with high explosives, bound for delivery on Hirohito' s doorstep, sliped silently away from American ammunition docks. More than 100000 tons of bombs left Prince Rupert last summer.
 This year. in sharp contrast, the harbor will be a riot of color, mus ic and noise from the flags and remnants of gaily decorated yes sells, participating in the grand arade, to the thousands of specta- tors crowding the shore and side line vessels and barges, to the hali dozen bands providing music for the day.
 Stress is being placed on inter. national competition and many Al. aska vessels are scheduled to par. ticipate in various contests. One oi the leading events will be a time elapsed race, open class from Ret. chikan, Alaska to Prince Rupert B. c. This will be the first time ir history such a race has ever been conducted.
