If Jerri. Blanchard, the sta
tuesque blond who sings salty songs
at Herb Sachs Duet, is held over
for a second fortnight, it shouldn't
surprise you-or any one else. Miss
Blanchard was singing at New
York's Club 18 once and was held
over there-so many times that
it was seven and one-half years
before she got away from the place
Since that time she has been en-
gagged variously at the Crest Room
in New York and at Kitty Davis
Alrllner and other spots in Miami
and she already has a reasonably
certain idea where she will spend
next New Year eve. She has signed
a contract to open. at the Airliner
on December 80.
At the present Miss Blanchard
is just one more of those involved
in the local housing shortage. If
all went as expected since last re-
port, Miss B. does not live at the
Mayf1ower any more. Her week was

Sacha Lucas, who was appearing
last week at. the Cafe Parisienne
with Sacha Bartnovsky, the accom-
plished pianist, has discovered that
his violin style is distinctive, what
ever else it is. He does not know
whether it is so good it stands out
or whether the obvious opposite is
the case. All M. Lucas knows is that
he was sitting aboard a boat tied to
a pier at Fort Lauderdale, Fla, one
might not so long back, playing his
violin madly for his own amusement
and amazement. Out Of the dark
came a feminine voice, aimed, he
discovered later, at an adjacent
feminine ear.
THAT is Sacha Lucas" the voice
said. 1T couldn't be any one else. !"
Turned out to be q pair of vaca-
tioning Washington girls, who had
heard Sascha around town many a
time and knew the Lucas way. Way

Another thing you had no right
to expect to learn here today is that
the postwar military life in Labra-
dor is rough, If circumstantial evi-
dence can be believed. An air force
sergeant is reported to have walked
into the Trade Winds Office the
other day bearing a note from four
pilots currently stationed in Labra-
dor. They wanted some Chinese
food from the Ruby Foo kitchens or
nothing at all. 1t was whipped off
to them Immediately, of course, no
doubt by way of an agreeable pilot
on the next northbound ATC plane.
But things certainly have changed
Time was when the air base at
Goose Bay, Labrador, had some of
the best food on the whole North
Atlantic Division. 1t was even as
good as Ruby Foo's at the Hotel de
Gink there.

WORK ON TWELVE ALASKA RIVERS. HARB0RS PROJECTS
 ELIMINATED,, NO FUNDS

Because of drastic cuts" in re- Quested appropriations, Delegate Bartlett of Alaska says, work on twelve rivers and harbors projects in the Territory cannot be under taken in the fiscal year starting July l. -
 Both the Budget Bureau and the House appropriations Committee made slashes in the funds recom- mended by the Army Engineers for the program.
 The Budget Bureau reduced from SLY 000,000 to $2S,0OO,00O the Engineers request for work in AL aska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, Bartlett said, and $1,000,000 for the Wrangell Mar rOWs project was eliminated before the budget was submitted to Cong ress. .. ssN
 Tn view of this and because of the existence of an economy block in Congress-" he added in state ment, it is impossible to predict when funds will finally be appro- priated so that all 12 Alaska rivers and harbors projects will be con- structed.
 As passedby the House, $500, coo has been made available for the Stikine River project and S55, GOO for Nome Harborp
 He said the projects for which funds were not made available were Metlakatla harbor, Craig har- Dor, Myers Chuck harbor, Wran- gell harbor, Wrangell Narrows, Petersburg harbor, Port Alexander Sitka harbor, Gastineau Channel, Skagway harbor, Elfin Cove and Seldoyia harbor.

COMMUNICATION
To The Wrangen Sentinel


 Wrangell, Alaska
 Dear Editor
 So many of our friends both here in Wrangell and in Petersburg have requested and wish to know just what really happened and what found when IarriYed ont at my winter camp at the extreme head Of Duncan Canal, early last winter, that I take this means in reply.
 If l should seemingly go into minute details, 1t shall be in order that you may have a more clear understanding of the actual facts.
 Early in November, owing to the large amount of ice, encountered l disembarked at the Petersburg hunting lodge which is located ap- .proximately ten miles below my home cabin. Then on November 2S after heavy rains and big tides had started the ice moving, I loaded my little boat with winter supplies and started on up to my home cabin.
 All around was plenty of snow and ice. l was forced to land and carry my supplies a considerable distance in order to cache them under a tree and out of reach Of possible moving ice Also it became necessary that 1 move my TOW boat quite aways back and out Of reach of the ice. By this time it was completely dark. By the light of my lantern, made up a pack of food stuff and decided that l. should go up to my cabin for the night, a distance of 2 miles
 1 was all ready to start when l got the sensation or kind of hunch that l should take along my big down sleeping bag. No sooner said than done, however, as 1 was strap ping this on top of my pack, it oc- cured to me that shouldn't need 10 take along this extra, consider ing that my cabin was fully equip ped with bedding and all necessary articles that 1 shold need. How ever, that hunch persisted and never once hesitated to obey. With this sizable pack upon my back, my gun in one hand and my Ian tern in the other, that two miles became quite long ways as l tru- dged along in the deep snow.
 Sometime later, I came out into the open a short distance from my winter home and then very sud denly I stopped. swung my light and looked around. I recognized
