Twenty-Fifth Anniversary
Twenty-Five years have elapsed
since we saw
Our George take Louis little hand
in his paw,
And started to travel
That honeymoon trail
That leads on to honor
Though clouds may aSSail
For twenty-five years
: They have Travelled together
| Through run Of the mine
, Matrimonial weather
And twenty-five years
: Is a very long time
| When you learn that your help
= mates
= Not really divine.
e For thirty some years
George Travelled the road
@ In all kinds of weather
: He carried his load
n From dawn until dusk
S Through rain, slect and snow
: Never complaining
V Always ready to go.
e Since being retired
G He lives near the station
And feels content
= In his chosen occupation
e He has planted potatoes
e And sprayed them and hood
l. And then sold them out
l. By the bushel or load.
ID Now Lou as a helper
And planner. we know
~ Has not been a shirkcr
e. In making things go.
G. And she is the one
IN In their family relations
Who holds all the keys
TO the sidebOard and ratiOnS.
For twenty-five years
She has cooked all the StcWS
II She pared the potatoes
e" And handled the news:
She has washed all the dishes
And swept up the floor
And lOrdy, one never
Could guess how much moro.
For twenty-five years
She has worked like the dickens
t. I'm nursing sick turkeys
: And feeding the chickens
In hunting the nests
They have stolen away
. And keeping accounts
That would tell if they pay.
And then Just to climax
Their trouble and Joy
,,r The Lord sent to them
m Claude, Betty and Roy;
lry TO be with them
There on the farm
And later (WhO knOWS)
Have their own house and barn
There is joy in the heart
OF these lovers supreme
Who have their rewards
In their relatives esteem
.o,I. There is joy among friends
cal (And there may be some tears)
Who have come here to honor
led These twenty-five years.

FRED V. WAGNER GUEST
 AT JUNIOR CHAMBER MEET

The Junior Chamber of Com merce held il weekly noon lunch con last Monday at Civic Center and had as guests Fred V. Wagner, President of the Alaska-Asiatie Lumber Co.,, and Ben Grey, Wash ington, D. c. lumber broker and business man
 Both men talked on Wrangells recent mill problem. Mr Gray said that it was due to necessary gov ernment red tape that the mill project had been delayed to the extent it was and that now, with final government sanction, the mill will operate to fill Army con- tracts. At the termination of these contracts, he said, there will be sufficient private contracts to keep the mill in permanent operation Afr. Grey has assisted Mr. Wagner in getting the mill problems solv- ed.
 While in Washington, D. C., with Mir. Wagner, Mir. Grey said, he found definite proof of a move underway to dismantle the local mill and buy lumber for the Army in the States at a higher cost.
 IL was also pointed out by MT Grey that the attitude of business in the east is changing toward AL aska. Where, n the past there has been little or no interest the expen- ditures for defense and toward a pulp and paper industry have caused considerable awakening MT Grey added, The future here looks really good
 MT. Wagner said that he expe 'ts Birch, Lytle and Johnson to start work immediately on the construC- tion of the mill and that the Court receiver, Col. Otto Ohlson, should be here next week He is now in conferring with BJL and the Engineers.
 It should take about two months to finish construction and to start operation,' Said MT. Wag- ner He added that he expected MT Tom Gephart and MT. Frank Goralski to return to their posi- tons at the mill.
 In closing, the Junior Chamber of Commerce arranged a trip to Anan Creek and around Wrangell Island for MT. Wagner and MT. Grey with members of the Cham Der. Meredith Custrad took the party aboard the Peewee.

TELEPHONE COMPANY
 MAKING IMPROVEMENTS
 IN TEIFpHONE SYS7


 Work Was begun this week on a series of improvements Al Freid- man, owner and operator of Wran- gell Telephone Company, is plan ming for the telephone system
 First step is stringing of about 150O feet of lead armored cable in the down town section which will greatly facilitate service and do a. way with the present old and worn out lines. The new cable will also aid in the long distance system b be in operation at the Signal Corps by enabling a customer to receive the long distance calls dir ectly at his home or office phone. Another improvement planned by Friedman is changing of the pre- ent switchboard at the telephone office to central energy system This will enable customers to get central upon lifting the receiver without having to ring as at pres ent The change-over will require considerable work and new quip- ment. Freidman said he hoped to have all improvements completed by this fall
