WOMEN'S CLUB
TOSTART DRIVE

With much preliminary work al
ready done, the Wrangell Women's
Civic Club will start a campaign
next week to raise the balance OF
funds needed to give Wrangell a
modern, well-equipped playground
The playground project is the
local clubs entry IN the national
Build a Better Community" con-
test being sponsored by the Cen
eral Federation of Womon's Clubs
in Washington, D. c. Prizes total
ing many thousands of dollars will
be awarded when the contest ends
next spring. Win or lose, however,
the Wrangell Women's Civic Club
intends to give Wrangell a play
ground where youngsters will have
the same advantages of a larger
city If a prize is won, the money
will be used to promote other civic
improvements.
The site of the playground, next
to the City Hall, was willed to the
club several years ago for just such
a purpose and was drained and
leveled recently. During the past
few months, the SOmers Company
of Juneau used it as a stockpile
area for their roadwork here and,
in exchange, regarded and covered
it with crushed rock upon compile
ton of their work.
Equipment contemplated for the
includes a Multi-Climb,
a Horizontal Ladder, a Four and
Six-Swing outfit, Free Stride and
a Two Board Seesaw.

THROUGH
THE SENTINEL
PERISCOPE

Alaska was lined with army
brass" this week. Air Secretary
W. Stuart Symington winged north
to join the joint chiefs of staff,
headed by Gen. Omar Bradley, for
an inspection of army installa-
tions. The secretary had a particu-
lar eye out for housing for his
Air Force personnel. En- route
north, the secretary stopped off in
Seattle for a conference on the re-
ported proposal to move the Boo
ing bomber plant into the Mid
West as a security measure, a move
being vigorously opposed by Sc
attic, and one in which the Queen
City has been Joined by Alaska on
the grounds that il the Territory
is given adequate defense it means
protection OF the Pacific North
west, thus making the suggested
move of Boeing inland unneces-
sary.
chief, Gov Ernest Gruening
hoped down to Seattle during the
week to sit in on the conference
and present the Alaska picture
which had been drawn up by the
Alaska Statehood Committee last
week.
Meanwhile, civilian airfield con-
struction moved ahead a pace. The
new Alaska Department of AVia-
ton, headed by Tony Schwamm,
reported this week the CAA had
approved both the Fort Yukon and
Kotzebue airports in its master
plan for air field construction in
the territory which covers a To-
year program. Work on both fields,
which will be up to modern COM
mercial standards, will get under
way in the spring. Consideration
also is being given to expanding
water plane facilities in the South
east The overall program promises
to provide Alaska with a modern
network of air facilities.
Effort may be made to keep the
Richardson Highway, connection
to the Interior from Valdez, open
this winter Truckers now operat-
ing out of Haines during the sea-
son have opposed such an idea, as
the cutoff will be closed this win
ter and the haul. via by the Alaska
highway through Canada is a long
one.
If the plan works out, freight
will be taken by water to Valdez
and trucked into the Interior from
that port. 1t is anticipated that
with the new modern, heavy road
equipment Thompson Pass, tough
est bit of the route. can be kept
clear.
Fish traps had another day in
court yesterday when arguments
were presented before Federal
Judge George w. Folta in Juneau
on the validity of the quadrupled
trap license tax enacted by the
last legislature.
Action was brought by the P. E.
Harris Company against Tax Col
lector M. P. Mullaney to restrain
the latter from collecting the in
creased tax. In June, Judge Folta
granted a temporary injunction
against the collector. Opponents of
the measure at that time held the
tax discriminatory as compared
with other types of gear. Final
decision of the court, which may

be expected in a day or two, will
have definite bearing on the con-
dition of the Territorial Treasury
The new tax would produce a lit
tie over half a million a year, or
more than a million for the bien-
mum, virtually all of which will
be lost to the general fund If the
law is declared invalid. About
$4,000 had been collected in trap
taxes this year before the tempo
rary Injunction was granted.
With the season closing last
night, the Southeast Alaska salm-
on pack promises to run well over
two million cases, although final
figures would not be known for
some time. Virtually all packers
had days of canning ahead yet
from reserve of fish on hand. The
extension granted by the Fish and
Wildlife Service last week had
given almost a week of additional
packing and the pink salmon run
through all areas had stood up re-
markably well. Packer, fisherman
| Cannery worker and everyone work
| ing in the industry stood to have
an excellent season, the best In
| the Southeast since 1941. Reports
indicated that seiners' shares o.
$4,000 were not uncommon. SOM
would be considerable more.

NEED $500 MORE

The club has raised several hun
dred dollars through outside do
nations and needs about $500 more
to complete the project. The local
drive next week will consist of
canvassing business houses and
urging all residents of Wrangell
to donate to the fund. Mrs. F. S.
Barnes has indicated she will start
the drive with a contribution of
800.

Our Human Relationships
BY G. H. GRAHAM
(The fourth of a series)
TEACHING TO STEAL

In my youth on the farm nearly
everyone grew melons which were
the delight of young and old. Of
ten have heard men telling boys
of stealing melons, destroying the
vines and green melons, giving the
impression that such stealing was
something to be proud Of. The re-
suit was that very few people now
attempt to grow melons. These
men who should have been setting
a good example were really helping
to fix the habit of stealing. Later
when / mad large cherry orchard
found piles Of cherry pits where
thieves had pitted fruit in the
shade of the trees. At least one
boy taught in this way became a
car thief and ended in the state
prison.
Sometimes children learn steal
ing by lessons from other children.
Do not laugh this off as a childish
prank that will be outgrown; such
habits will rather grow than be
outgrown. II is only a step to steal
ing time or money from an en-
ployer, stealing a credit in school
by cheating in examination and
very much of the great field OF
crime.

Lincoln Park
And Haiti To
Be Included
Expansion Plan Will
Provide Sewers For
The Outlying Sections

+. Lincoln Park and Haiti, colored
residential areas adjoining Rock
vile, are included in the plan for
the extension of the towns boun-
daries. Improvements there will be
provided by Front Foot Benefit and
paid for over a period of years,
without any burden on the taxpay-
ers of the other parts of the town.
Conditions in Lincoln Park where
sewers overflow and water is OBJ
tanned from wells has long given
the town grave concern.
Mayor Lamar Kelly and Town
Manager John Mcdonald met with
citizens of the two areas last week
and explained the plan to alleviate
the worst of the sanitary condi-
tions.
A letter to the Mayor and Coun-
Gil this week, signed by Raymond
Smith, president, and T. C. Moore,
secretary, of the Lincoln Park
Citizens Association, a copy of
which was sent to the The Sentinel,
approved the plan, and ran as fol-
lows:
"The Lincoln Park Citizens AS
sociation and the residents of Haiti
unanimously endorse the proposal
to have the city limits of Rockville
extended to include Lincoln Park
and Haiti and to provide sewerage
on front foot assessment basis.
"Our Association will highly APP
preciate any effort of your Council
to carry this proposal to compile
ton at the earliest possible date.
A petition signed by the residents
of Lincoln Park and Haiti has al
ready been filed in your office"
