In a graphic recital of the circumstances which cause people to pause m reverence at II o'clock on the morning of November II each year, he presented a practi- cable measure hy which the indi- vidual might determine h.s own degree of success in life.
 Service rendered to society, Chief Friedman said, is the truest meas ure of real success in life
 future success" he continued, "by the money you have made or will make, or by the type of job you have or get.
 some people with the most mon- ey or the highest salaried jobs ac- 1 tually give the least service and so achieve no real success, while many of the lead pencil type were truly successful and gave their best ef- forts, their own life-and gave you free America
 After making many allusLons to the demands of life, and the ways in which the living might serve others, and presenting to the stu- dents a goal within the attainment of all, he concluded by declaring, This anniversary of one wars end ing becomes most significant when we think in terms of the war which followed it We can create no more fitting memorial to all our war dead than the preservation of this world as healthy, intelligent and peaceful world in which their survivors can live in security"

15o-FT. FREIGHT
 BOAT E BOUGHT
 FOR FWS SERVICE

Another step has been taken to bring to realization the Fish and Wildlife Services weir installation program for Bristol Bay.
 The chief problem has been how to get the heavy equipment to the Naknek and Ugashik Rivers where the weirs are to be installed in the spring.
 Two small boats will be turned in toward a new 15O-foot freight boat, former Army craft which the FWS is acquiring from War Surplus Properties.
 Earl Bright, vessel supervisor, has returned from Kodiak where he went to check over the craft, which will be moved to Seattle early in the year to be put in shape. A larger boat was needed due to the change in the nature of FWS op- erations.
 Installation of the new weirs is considered by FWS officials to be a great step forward. The en- gineering staff in Seattle is de- signing a weir that promises to be cheaper than previous one, and more easily dismantled before the rivers freeze over.
 Mounted on steel piling, the A shaped weirs will be metal-hinged 50 that the sides of the "A" can fold, and lie flat all winter under the ice.
 Installation of weirs enables the FWS to learn exacly the amount of fish taken.
 The FWS will embark on another special project after the spring ice breakup, or possibly as early as March. The Stream Improvement Program, for which funds have been allocated and plans drawn up, will affect eight A streams, some of them in Southeast Alaska.

SpRATlING lEAvE5' FOR TAxC0, MEXICO

Bill Spratling, Design Director
 for the Alaska Native Service Arts and Crafts program, left yester- 1 day via Pan American Airways for Annette Island. At Annette he will pick up his own plane and fly to Taxco, Mexico.
 Spratling, internationally known designer and craftsman, will launch new program for the native arts and crafts in the Territory. Several workshops will be established throughout Alaska and a native master craftsman will direct the center.
 To train the master craftsmen, 1t was planned to have a workshop established at Mt. Edgecumbe Vo- cational School Teaching the AL askans were to be Mexican master craftsmen from Taxco. Due to immigration difficulties, it was impossible to have the Mexican men travel to the Territory.
 AS an alternative plan, five Eski- mo veterans have been chosen to work in Spratling's center at Tax co. If financial arrangements can be made, the Eskimos will leave soon.
 During the winter, Spratling will supervise his Alaskan students in the making of 200 models, utilizing native designs and Alaskan mater ials. These models will be used as guides in the workshop centers in the Territory.
 It is planned to have show ing of the Alaska art objects in all the major cities of the Terri tory next spring. Arrangements have also been completed for showing at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
 Spratling will establish a per- manent headquarters here in May.

Bishop Brooks
Says Wiley Stud
ents WaIkout
DisgracefuI

Kansas City, Mo - Bishop Ro-
bert N. Brooks, Chairman of the
trustee board of Wiley college,
Marshall, Texas, termed the walk
out by students at Wiley dis
graceful" and declared that stud
ents shall not be permitted to run
the school as they see fit
The bishop made the statement
here last week while attending
a meeting Of the Methodist Fed
Grafton for Social action. The
walkout had occurred when the
bishop was attempting to an
nounce the action of the trustee
board on complaints lodged by
the students against the adj
ministration and faculty. Bishop
Brooks said that a student com
mittee had pledged itself to a.
bide by whatever decisions the
board reached, but that the walk
out came in spite of the pledge.
Il had just finished reaching
the first of four decisions reach
ed by the board when the stud
ents filed out of the chapel"
Bishop Brooks remarked.
The ruling stated that the
board had voted unanimously to
continue DR.. E. G. Mcleod as
president-an issue to which some
students as well as faculty men,
bers had objected. The other rul-
ings concerned faculty tenure,
student council and discipline.
The tenure of teachers at the
school were recommended as be-
ing dependent upon their fitness,
efficiency and preparation for the
opposition they hold. The present
student committee, acting as The
student council, was to be dis
banded until such time as rul-
es and regulations governing the
group, it's operation and defin-
ing its functions could be drawn
I'D. The board held that the coun-
Gil, a joint enterprise of faculty
and students, must be approved
by the administration and facul-
ty before it can function.

hool were suspended following

New Pipeline
To Springs To
Be Considered

Encouraged by prospect of the
availability of cast iron pipe
during the next n n e months,
Mayor Norman and councilmen
at a called meeting Monday con-
ferred with a representative of
Corwin & Company, engineering
firm of Great Falls, regarding
replacement of the wooden g.
inch line extending from the
Town limits to the springs with
a 1O-inch cast iron line.
The firm was employed to pre-.
pare plans and specifications for
early consideration of the mayor
and council so that action could
be taken in time to construct the
project this year.
The cost of the project would
be upwards of SIS, 900, it was I'm
derstood. The Town of Brown
ing would finance it with bond
issue. This would require a spec
ial election. Of course, unless
there was reasonable support at
the election there would be no
funds for the project.
The new pipeline, as with the
one now in use, would be approx
imately five miles in length. Its
carrying capacity, it was pointed
out, would provide ample flow to
assure q maximum water supply
without the need of an auxiliary
storage tank in Browning.
Because of the condition of the
present line, brought about by its
long use, it is now speculative
how much longer it will endure.
Corwin & Company made a
study and survey of the Town of
Browning in 1916 that an approx
innate picture of how progress
i've Browning would look like
would be provided.
The aggregate cost then, it
was estimated, would be around
$500, 900, and included construc-
ton of modern streets and side
walks, installation of a lighting
system, sewage line extension, in
addition to an improvement of
the water system.

MOtOrist Ignores
Police Siren

When the siren of a police car
sounds, it is the official command
of authorities to motorists to take
to the siding and be investigated.
Last Friday evening a motor
list, who was using his spot light
in a manner as to occasion sus-
picion that he might be GRIM
inal with a stolen car or someone
else involved in trouble, failed to
heed the siren of the Browning
police car. Chief Gould pursued
the fleeing motorist for a consid-
cradle distance over the forth
road, continually sounding the
siren. He fired four shots in the
direction of the feer, but with
out success, and finally gave up
the chase.
1t would be we'll for others to
take note of this incident. Had it
occurred in most places, officers
no doubt would not have been so
lenient, with the result that pro-
badly there would have been an
injured or dead motorist. At
least. there would have been a
car punctuated with several bull
lets or with bullet-punctured tires
that could have resulted in a
fatal accident.
When the police car siren
sounds or in fact when any We
hicle is giving a warning on the
highway or street, it should be
recognized and respected.
