gotten the habit of using the ready
mixes found on our grocer's shelves,
particularly ginger bread mix, this
being about the first to make it's APP

variety is always better. Here is

If you have any youngsters around
the house, you already know that
Halloween is less than two weeks
away. This spooky holiday season
is a perfect time for informal enter
tanning and whether you purchase
your decorations from the stores, or
use your own engenuity in fashion
ing your own, it's a grand time to
have fun.
Refreshments for these occasions
can also be very economical. A
pumpkin face here and there on
cookies, pie or cake, with almost
no effort at all, makes the gather
ing a gay one, whether its family or
friends. Somehow we always think
of gingerbread and cider for Hal
lowe'en, but cookies are lots easier
to serve, So have saved up for this
festive season Mrs. Warren Shirey'S
recipe for molosses cookies, which
she labels real good" and knew
they are bound to be good when
sMrs. Shirley makes them.
MOIaSses Drop Cookies
l cup butter and lard mixed
! cup brown sugar
y cup molasses (Brer Rabbit)
u cup sweet milk
2 eggs
teaspoon soda
/ teaspoon cinnamon.
y teaspoon cloves
" teaspoon ginger
Flour for drop cookie dough
Mrs Shirley says that this is an old
recipe and she has never measured
the exact amount of flour, she likes
to test it by baking cookie to see
how it comes out whether it spreads
too much or whether it holds just
right.
Cream shortening and sugar. Add
other ingredients. Bake them in a
medium hot oven, about $50 degrees.

COUNCIL DISCUSSES AT
 LENGTH CITY SEWERS

At the meeting of the Common Council of the Town of Wrangell held last night. the deplorable con- dition of the Towns sewers, water mains and services were discussed at great length.
 It was recognized that definate action and work would have to be done on these facilities immedi- ately. The local public health nurse and the city health officer advised of the danger of epidemics from in- adequate sewage disposal and a poor water supply. Many sewers existing in the town are leaking and beyond repair, and some resi- dences are entirely without sewage disposal.
 Due to the absolute necessity of rectifying the situation and the large expense entailed in carrying out any program, the Council be- lieyed it necessary and obvious to raise additional revenue.
 It was generally felt by the Council that it would take a pro- perty tax of approximately 27 mills dncluding the Territory's 10 mills) or a sales tax of per cent to cover the cost of such construc- tion over a period of four to five years.
 The recent Territorial Legisla- ture enacted a law permitting the cities in Alaska to levy a sales tax of up to two per cent with the approval of 55 per cent of the voters at special election.
 The Council instructed the Clerk to draw up an ordinance of spec ial election to see if the voters of Wrangell will favor a two per cent sales tax. tOther news of the Council meeting last night may be found elsewhere in today's paper.)
