Postmaster Sharnbroich pointed out that due to the maritime strike Wrangell had fewer ships carrying mail during he year. In 1946 there ere 67 northbound ships carrying nail and 62 southbound In 1945 We had S8 ships north and 79 southbound. An interesting fact on the shipping, the Postmaster said. i, that of the 67 nortbound ships, A of them were CPR and of the 62 southbound ships 46 of them were CPR. A total of 10,S2S sacks of mail were received at the local post office and 1909 sacks dis patched for 1916. This compares with 66O5 received in 1945 and 5104 dispatched.
 Wnngell is receiving much better mail service than in past years, Postmaster Sharnbroich said. With the 292 days when airmail was received and dispatch ed and the average of over five ships north each month and five our mail service wls good in spite of the long maritime strike. During the maritime strike.

| NEU1LOI IOL6. we Dol1GVe all
our readers will be interested in
the following letter, jus received
from Irwin Ashkenazy of 1926 S.
Adams Street, in Glendale, Cal.
Irwin was an All-Southern foot
ball star for three consecutive
years while at Tallahassee, Fla,
where his uncle, Sam Mendelson,
is prominent merchant. In 1880
thru 1888 he and your editor were
classmates in Journalism at the
University of Florida, where
"Ashky" earned his way through
college by boxing professionally
and spent the rest of his spare
time writing beautiful poetry.
Today he and his lovely wife,
Elinor, are doing exceptionally
well in the field of writing for
magazines and radio. At the pres
ent time Irwin is writing a novel
on the underground heroes of Pal
estine. With the physical cour-
age he has displayed in the past,
and his soul of poet, plus his
unusual talent as writer, we be-
lieve he has the peculiar qualities
necessary to do an outstanding
job in the difficult assignment of
presenting the Jewish case against
the British in the Holy Land.
Irwin lived in England for a num-
Der of years and worked for the
British Broadcasting Company.
He is familiar with England's
lmperialistic philosophy. During
the war he had the opportunity
OF meeting and talking with Jew
ish refugees, and he has first
hand information of their needs for
entrance into Palestine.)
THE LETTER FOLLOWS:
Dear IL:
Eve been reading your very in
teresting newspaper all these
years and want you to know that
1 think you are doing an excel
lent job. Your editorials are par
ticularly well written. DOint
to 'em and tell EIinor, CHATS
my boy who wrote thatw And Il
hope to Heaven you keep up the
fight you've taken for JUSTICE
and not get on the stupid band
wagon of those gutless buns who
try to hide their yellow streak
with innOcuOus drivel. L think
anyone who calls himself a Jew
and who doesn't speak up with a
loud voice when he can do so is
a traitor not only to Jews in gen.
eral but to civilization everywhere
and to any hope we have of a
better life now or in the future.
Your fight against Fascism Is
very cOmmendable. 1t takes real
person to escape the poison when
you live and work within the smell
of it every day - as you are
doing. Keep up the fight. Always
remember that while silence is
golden, sometimes it's yellow.
I have cut down or ny writing
of poetry. The only people who
write poetry are unhappy people,
and I'm not unhappy anymore.
Besides I'm too busy writing for
a living. That makes me unhappy
