The Community House Spring Circus surpassed the most optmis- tic expectations. The community spirit, the cooperation; the ingen- uity; the fun; and last, but not least, the financial return, $500, was pleasant surprise and grati- fication to all who participated, not only to those who worked toward putting on the show but to the audience as well.
 To list and thank all those who participated in making so great success of Community Houses debut would be impossible. But the proof that sitka has need and will support Ia Community House was overwhel- mingly proved.

NEWS ITEMS
 FROM SITKA

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE
 SITKA, Alaska, April 10-The sudden appearance of bright circus posters all over town and Japonski help the illusion that spring has finally and really arrived. The pos ters were obtained through the To- cal Chamber of Commerce and Jack Conway, in Seattle, by the courtesy of the Seattle Chamber and adver- Using agencies. Change in lettering was done by students of Sitka High.
 Our first community affair, in our newly acquired Community House, sponsored by all local organ izations, has intense interest and large crowds are expected to attend both the afternoon and evening per- formances.
 Twenty eight separate attractions are being offered, Il of these by kids and Teen agers. Sitka High will have a picture show, Ham and Turkey award, country square dances, coke and hamburger booth, and Band Concert; SIS will present puppet show and have charge ot the Merry -Go-Round; Mt. Edge cumbe School will present Eskimo dances and provide the orchestra for afternoon dancing; Camp Fire Girls will give a Mother Goose show; Mrs. Walton's acrobatic class will do tumbling acts.
 All those who gave valuable time and money toward acquiring the building for community use must feel slightly repaid by the fine CO., operation displayed in this first ven- ture--and particularly by the par ticipation of the kids who were one of the main considerations.
 Incidentally, it is not generally known that Sitka High students did more than their share toward the buildings purchase. They bought two, $1O0 shares; one for their Stu dent Governing Association and one for the Teen Age Club.
 No enc believes the weather is real and each evening one hears predictions that tonight its going to rain hard, for sure. Instead, at sundown the thermometer drops to- ward freezing point, further delay ing all. hopes of getting garden started soon.
 The water supply is dropping to danger point. The auxiliary pump at Indian River was started Fri day but the river is also low. Be- cause of the cold nights, the abun- dant mountain snows are not melt ing.
 A severe flu epidemic has been making the rounds of town and Japonski. The Pioneers in the Home have been hard hit and the epide- mic there has resulted in several deaths among those too old to re- sist it. Dr. Charteris has been put ting in so many hours at the Home, caring for Pioneers, his office pa tients have hardly seen him, except for emergencies.
 Both patients and nurses at the Orthopedic Hospital have been hit and students at Mt. Edgecumbe { School. The older the patient the more severe the flu attack seems to be.
 The Federal Employees Union met Wednesday evening for the election of officers. The meeting was held at the Japonski Island Service Club with temporary Pres ident John Dolenc presiding. Off

TOKYO, April 14.-iR-Japanese whalers chanted in Buddhist tenn pie today for the souls of the 1921, big mammals caught last winter.
