Liberals
Crops Good

LID OhOTO dOOD - -
KAKATA, Liberia (ANP)-
Liberia is enjoying her biggest
food production in more than II
years. There is no shortage Of rice
this year.. Rice is the principal
food in Liberia. There are also
plenty of cassava, yams, eddoes,
fruits and various vegetables.
The 1949 crop is estimated to
be about 80 per cent bigger than
the one last year which indicates
that Liberia is on the way to end
ing hungry times" for her people.
1t is actually true that many years
when crops have failed and i'm
ports insufficient that there has
simply not been enough food to
care for all the people.
Much of the improvement is due,
aside from favorable weather, to
the work of the U. S. Economic
Mission. Oscar Meier is the chief
of this group which has done
much to improve the type Of agri-
culture, the care given crops as
well Is introducing new varieties
of seed. Oscar Meier is the chair
man Of the commission. Frank E.
Pinder, formerly of Washington
and Florida, has been acting chief
for the past several months, while
Meier has been on duty at the
State department in Washington.
About $4,000 is being put in
to the Central Agricultural station
at Suakoko, Liberia, up in the
hinterland for physical improve
ments by the Liberian government.

AS long as votes are needed in

Truman's FEPC
Order Put Into
Action in ID. c.

WASHINGTON (ANP)- Presi-
dent Truman's executive order for
fair employment practices in de-
partments of the federal govern
ments of the federal government
were put into action last week
when the fair employment board Of
the Civil Service Commission crack
ed down on a government bureau
that had refused to hire a disabled
Negro veteran for the third
straight time.
Although reporters tried to
find out what department was .af-
fected and who was the veteran
involved, the csc maintained it's
strict policy of not giving out
names or any specific detaily. Here
is the story it does tell:
The disabled vet had passed a
civil service examination with a
high score thus emitting him to
permanent government appoint
ment. Three times the csc certifi-
ed for employment with this
agency which was hiring a large
number of new workers.
The agency turned him down
each time. According to usual
practice the third time would
have been out for this employee,
and he would have had to take
another exam if he was to be
certified for a government job
again.
But this is where the fair en-
ployment board came in. Point
ing out that in one case a white
person who barely passed with "a
7O.6 rating with his 10 points
credit for veteran preference, the

The Wrangell sentinel., 1949-11-18

Miss. Dolores Van Den Berg, the third grade teacher, is from Graf ton, Wis. She is a graduate of Mill waukee State Teachers College. Grafton is a town about the size of Wrangell, which makes Miss Van Den Berg a small town girl She has no brothers or sisters.
 The third graders are studying farming and their special project is a first hand study of growing plants. They have a table of ex- periments which include some we'll rooted slips of house plants, ill wa- ter; carrot shoots growing froin the top slices of carrots, and a tiny cactus no bigger than your finger nail. Miss Van Den Berg is a little worried about the health of the cactus.
 A trip to Nore's dairy was planned for last Friday but only six of the children showed up. Most of the absentees, when ques- tioned, said they forgot
 The large Pilgrim and Indian figures you see on the windows of Miss Van Den Berg's class room are freehand work of the students. They also did their own research for costume ideas.

cooking, reading and bridge are Miss Freye's hobbies and special interests.
 The fourth graders are doing their work in a distinctive Thanks giving setting. Their scenic dec orations begin with a wilderness scene on a corner blackboard It continues across the front of the room, with crayon work on draw ing paper, in a panoramic effect. The windows hold the final scene of pilgrims preparing the Thanks giving feast.
 Although working in a Thanks giving setting, plans are under way for Christmas. Miss Freye has some clever ideas for gifts and wrapping paper which the students will work out these coming weeks.

AIR MAIL SUBSIDIES

The Senate Committee Interstate and For eign Commerce is making study of air mail pay, with the idea of establishing the justification of subsidies paid to the air lines. The committee recently asked the Civil Aeronautics Board to lend expert personnel to help in these studies and to make report of the existing pay-subsdy formula and it's application since 1945.
 The CAB, through it's chairman. reported that s.hce Congress cut the budget estimates for the board, it has personnel available for such an assignment. Consequently, the Senate Committee will have to do the best it can, although it will have available the records of the CAB.
 Sen. Edwin c. Johnson of Colorado reports that previous study revealed that under estab- lished formulae. 55 per cent of air mail payments to domestic trunk carriers should be classified as a subsidy and that 96 per cent of the pay ments to the feeder carriers in 194S should be likewise classified as subsidy
 Senator Johnson thought that these conclu- sons should receive careful analysis and intimated that Congress desired early separation of sub sidy payments from proper compensatory air trans pOrtation costs

Mrs. Barnes New
 A.C.C.A. President

At the regular monthly meeting held last Friday night at the home of Mrs. Vern Smith, the Wrangell Chapter of the A. c. c. 4. elected the following officers:
 President, Mrs Frank Barnes; vice president, Mrs. Hugh F. Hall: secretary, Mrs. Vern Smith: treas urer, Mrs. H. B. Thornquist, and sewing project chairman, Mrs. Will liam Eastaugh.
 President Doris Barnes reminded the people of Wrangell that the A. c. c. A. Membership Drive will be under way soon. Membership cards sell for S1 each and entitle one to attend chapter meetings and help with group projects. Member ship card holders also know that they are participating actively in the program of much-needed aid to Alaska's crippled children.
 The Alaska Crippled Children s Association supports the OrthOpe- die Hospital at Mt. Edgecumbe and brings medical aid to children all over the territory.
 Three-fourths of all funds raised by the chapters are turned over to headquarters at Anchorage to be used throughout the territory. The remaining quarter is kept in each chapters treasury to help local cases.
 Mrs. Barnes urges all those in- terested to attend the monthly sewing meetings, which are held on the second Friday of each month.
 Collection of children's clothing is an important part of chapter work, and any donation of usable cotton garments, as well as toys, comics and games for the little hospital patients are most welcome. Especially needed is baby clothing.
 Anyone wishing to donate gar ments should contact Mrs. Frank Zepp, Mrs. William Eastaugh or Mrs. Barnes.
 The A. c. c. A. is also selling Alaska Almanacs, which retail for s2.5O.

BOY SCOUT DRIVE

Tomorrow the annual drive starts for the purpose of raising funds for the Boy Scouts of the Wrangell area. In the absence of Community Chest or similar means of financing worthwhile institutions, urge you to reach little deeper for the current Scout drive.
 Alaskans should appreciate organization such as the Boy Scouts for the that many reereational facilities for boys lacking here, especially during the winter months. In the states there are any number of supervised activities for growing boys-Y. M. c. A.. Asso- ciated Boys Club, Teen-Age clubs etc. The Boy Scouts is one of the few organizations in the territory which provides means for boys to work together under trained leaders. We should bend every effort to give them support
 Boy Scout work in every community is vol unteer work the only paid positions being the executives and field who devote their full time to the job. The money you spend-the share you buy'-in the Scout movement is used for maintaining headquarters to further Scout activi- ties in this community.
 At present the Sea Scouts and the regular troop are active here and we hope the Cubs will be re-aetivated soon. With the age limit for Cubs lowered to years, would like to see every boy in Wrangell years of age older enrolled ia a Scout group.

There seems to have been a mis- understanding about the purpose of opening the school shop to the public. The school board would like to make it clear that the shop is open on Monday and Wednesday evenings for anyone who has any kind of work to do requiring the use of hand or power tools. The shop is equipped to handle just about any make or repair job, in wood, that you might have. from furniture to trolling plugs
 Hobby classes are not being held, but anyone interested in metal, leather or plastics can work inde- pendently or have the help of the Instructor. The tools are there for your use and the only charge-for lmaterials-is reasonable.
 Why not take advantage of the shop to turn out a few Christmas gifts? It would be an interesting as we'll as a profitable way to spend one or two evenings a week
