GOVERNMENT MAY CONTINUE OPERATION OF
 ALASKA SHIPPING

WASHINGTON = II is under stood an order approving continu- ed operation of Alaska ships by the War Shipping Admiuistration during the months immediately a. head will be approved by John W. Snyder. Director of War Mobiliza- tion and Reconversion.
 This action will allow the gov ernment to absorb any deficits in operating costs and is the result of strong protests made following an nounCement that Alaska freight and passenger rates would be in creased many times over present rates when the operation was re- turned to priyate ownership.

SJS TAKES Q GAMES

oj D 4hAEo z 0AAAEo
 The SJS team was here last Monday to win over both the Wrangeu Institute and Wrangell High in two breath-taking games. The Institute playing first only to walk off the court four quarters later beaten by a score of 22 to 36. But don't let the score fool you. The Institute Eagles played a hard fast ball ball game only to be scored under by that passing and shooting combination of Shel- don Jackson. Thomas Williams, Institutes swisher. was high point man.
 The second game started off with a bang, Wrangell High SCOT ing twice with SJS coming back to sink two baskets to even it up. Sheldon Jackson forged ahead and by the half was leading by four points, 12-16.
 Coming in for Wrangell was John Eyon to play the rest of the game, replacing Henry Bowman. Throughout the last half SJS held their lead to win by a score of 26-3O. Herb Didrickson took over in the scoring division for Sheldon Jackson with 12 points to his credit. Scoring for Wrangell were Harvey Gross with 12 points and Lloyd Rinehart with 8. All in all. We sure enjoyed playing the boys from Sheldon Jackson, who showed good sportsmanship, pa sin g and smooth shooting. All are look ing forward to playing them again.
 SIS CONDUCTS SERVICE
 The congregation of the Presby- terian church was surprised last Sunday by the Sheldon Jackson boys taking over the morning wor- ship. Edward Benson gave a speech on sheldon Jackson Marches On,y and John Borbridge and John Williams gave speeches on the Sheldon Jackson Junior College. The SJS sextet showed their mus ical ability in singing Our God, Our Help in Ages Passt."

even a brand new roof sometimes
develops a leak, due to faulty lay

Need new drapes? Don't buy
them ready made and don't spend
hours hemming them, either.
Here's the simple way. Take a
length of material and two drapery
rings. Make sure the fabric is long
enough to reach the floor ON either
side. Tack up the rings, slip the
material through them, leaving a
drape on top for the swag effect.
Smart draperies in five minutes
and with a minimum of effort!
If you wipe spots off the floor as
they. appear, it will not be neces-
sary to wash the entire floor so
often.
Use cuffs from mems old shirts
for making shoulder pads. They're

the necessary build-up, without too
