The monumental task of caring for such an influx in a town of this size took consid- erable planning but was accom- plished without too much diff culty.
 Most of the business Of the con gress was attended to in group sessions. During these meetings. the Salvation Army re-emphasized it's stand against bingo as 10. {. of gambling. It also repeated it's ei forts to do away with ancient pot latch celebrations among some tribes.
 Although not prevalent around here,. there are still some tribes in other areas who h potlatch cere- monies after the manner of their forefathers. Rituals at these gath erings are un-Christian and the Salvation Army has for many years sought to discourage them.

Wrangell to Send Representative to
 Methodist Meet

Last Friday evening the people of Wrangell showed what a town can do when it really decides to go for something.
 Chamber of Commerce President Don House called a mass meeting at Bjorge Hall Friday to try and find out just how much strength there was behind the chambers eff forts to get the Mehodis. College located here.
 Although advertised less than one day, about 60 Wrangellites filled the hall to hear House give a resume of prograss to date.
 House produced clippings from both Juneau and Ketchikan news papers which told of plans of those cities to send a representative to Cleveland, O., next month to pre- sent personally their cities argu- ments. He then put it up to those present: Should Wrangell lder- take to raise funds to match the other towns in sending a represe- sentative to Cleveland?
 The answer was a definite "yec." Those present were unanimous in their belief that such an expendi- ture (about $6OO) would be we'll worth while to keep Wrangell abreast of developments.
 The Methodist Board of Missi )ns will meet in Cleveland April IT. at which time they will choose 2 site for their contemplated liberal arts college.
 No representative has been de- cided upon as yet, although several names have been mentioned. The towns personal representative will be, chosen by the Chamber of Com merce Monday.

Third Division Democrats meet ing up in Anchorage last week came up with new divisional chairman-Rep. William A. Egan of Valdez. Billy replaces Rep. Stan McCutcheon of Anchorage. Reports have it that one faction had corral led so proxies and moved into the convention with the idea of putting Harold Butcher of Anchorage in as Chairman. Result was that neither McCutcheon nor Butcher could muster the necessary votes so a compromise was made on Egan which met with general approval, especially in the districs outside of Anchorage which felt they were getting a little more recognition. Egan has been a Democratic wheel horse for years. He's served in several sessions of the Legislature and is a candidate this year to succeed himself in the House.

Alaska World War II Veterans Board policies for the rest of the year. Last Legislature appropriated $.1200,000 to the vets out of the general fund in the way of loan to be paid back starting 1856.

Vets Board had paid out something over @ million in bonuses and has two million plus out on oan.

The law levies one per cent on the true an full value of all real and personal property in the Territory. Its the last of the several tax suits which landed in the courts. the Territory having won all the rest with the exception of the provision in the quadrupled fish trap license act which would levy on the fish caught in traps. The court held the latter provision confiscatory, although upholding quadrupled license fee.

Stretch your time and money by shopping in your
community.
You time because your local merchants are close
to you-and local crowds and traffic are no problem
and bus lines provide quick transportation if you re
not driving.
You save money because your local merchants not
having pay high downtown rents can afford to sell
at reasonably lower prices.
Furthermore, modern distribution methods give local
merchants the wide variety of quality
chandise that is offered elsewhere
And since you know very well that your merchants
the only ones who cooperate willingly whenever
the occasion calls for contribution to any of your
organization projects, it is matter of simple reci-
procity that you patronize them at all times
After ALL when you shop in your community you help
to keep the community economically stable

Domestic Arguments Over TrifIes
Often End in Broken marriages.

A large proportion of the mar
riages whose obsequies take place
in the divorce courts are talked to
death. This may seem a strange
saying to, newlyweds, who cherish
the artless belief that husbands
and wives should tell each other
everything and talk over every de-
tail Of their lives.
This is a swell theory, and it
would work if any two people ever
saw eye to eye and had the same
tastes and habits and opinions
and points of view. Unfortu-
nately. this is not the case and
especially is it not the case when
one of the parties is of the male
persuasion and the other of the
female. No man and woman ever
yet thought alike, or got exactly
the same slant on a subject, and
so it is inevitable that when a
husband and wife discuss every
detail of every trivial and inconse-
quential domestic episode, they
turn marriage into nothing but
debating society.
OF course, rational human be-
tngs, and especially those who love
each other, should be able to dis
cuss any question that is before
the house, whether it is religion
or politics or the mixing of a
salad dressing, in a calm and
temperate manner and reach an
amicable agreement. But again,
unfortunately, such is not the case.
Nine-tenths of the family quar-
rels, that end in wrecked homes
begin in foolish arguments over
things as unimportant as what
color a room shall be painted. the
kinf of automobile they shall buy,
the movies they shall attend, or
whether spinach is edible or not,
whether the wife shall use cos
metics and the husband go to a
baseball game or not.
We have only to assist, as the
French say, at the average do
mestic fight to perceive that it
was precipitated by too much talk.
If the husbands and wives would
only go along and do what they
want to do without discussing itI
beforehand, it would be accepted
as a matter of course and there
would be no row over it. It is
when every move, and even what
they think has to be thrashed out
in endless argument thai one or
the other is sure to say the fight
ing word.
OF the folly of husbands and
wives telling each other of every
episode in their past lives, tool
much cannot be said. It is the act
of a moron, yet intelligent men
and women do it without appar-
emily realizing that they areI
blighting the happiness Of their
mates and putting in their mates

hands a weapon with which to
slay them. For in marriage it is
literally true that what one doesn't t
know doesn't trouble one. Where
as knowing something that hurts
Is wound in the heart that never
ceases to throb with pain.
Anyway what's done is done. It
cannot be changed, so what is the
good in telling of romantic ad-
ventures and former loves when
all that it accomplishes is to SOW
the seeds of doubt in wife's or
husbands heart and poison her or
his soul with Jealousy?
DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am
well-to-do and able to support my
wife in comfort, but she insists on
working in a store where she
hardly makes. carfare, although
she is So years old. For 81 years /
have gotten up every morning and
cooked my breakfast and pre-
pared my lunch and washed the
dishes and gone to work leaving
her in bed. Now I am at my
rows end and have stood this as
long as can. M. B.
. Answer: You are 81 years too
late in asking advice. You can't
change a woman who is your
Wife's age. She is too set in her
ways. You will have to realize
that there are some women who
are not domestic in their tastes.
There are women with wandering
feet who just have to be out where
there is life and movement and
excitement, and you have to be
thankful that yours can take out
her wanderlust in business instead
of on the primrose path.

IN MEMORIAM

This poem is written and dedi
Gated in loving remembrance to
my dear aunt and Godmother,
Mrs. Nettie Smith, who passed
away July 1st.
Her hair was of silver,
She was so sweet and kind,
A little hard of hearing
And almost completely blind.
All this did not make her bitter
Instead she was joyous and gay,
For she was only waiting
For the Lord to take her away.
She knew her days were numbered
Some day she would have to go
How long her stay on earth
would be,
The Lord could only know.
But now she has left us
For a home up above
Left her home and loved ones
To meet the God" we love.
And now that she's in heaven
May her soul rest in peace
May she now be in comfort
Her trials and worries ceased.
Some day we may meet in heaven
Upon that brighter shore,
Where we will be together
From now Forever more.
