Cqncer Unit Organized;
 Mrs. BigeIow Local Head
IS Organizations
 Represented at Meet

Mrs. Margaret Bigelow was elected chairman of the Wramgell Unit of the American Cancer So- ciety at an organizational meet ing here Wednesday evening.
 Eighteen Wrangell organizations were represented by IA persons at the meeting. Mrs. Mildred Hermann of Juneau, commander of the Alas ka Division, addressed the meeting and explained the aims of the American Cancer Society.
 She told the group that figures have proved that one out of eight will die of cancer. This means 22 million in the United States and 14,000 in Alaska, will fall victim to this disease. She added that there are three methods being used in the treatment of cancer-X-ray, radium and surgery.
 "The Alaska Division of the Am erican Cancer Society is the only agency working on cancer con trol program that is permitted to keep a portion of the funds raised by it in Alaska" Mrs. Hermann said. Sixty percent of all money collected remains in the territory to be expended for the primary benefit of Alaskans.
 We haven't yet raised funds sufficient to enable us to hospital- ize cancer patients, but we have made real progress in our sduca- tional program, which has now extended into 175 communities.
 'sThe results of our crusade this year will determine to what extent we can help cancer patients, but We are gradually accomplishing our major objective-teaching Alaskans to recognize cancers seven danger signals before it is too late.

All About Moose Trees

The editor, who is a "cheecha- ko," thought Fish and Wildlifer
 Dan Bates was having himself a
 fine joke when he started talking
 about moose trees' this week.
 Any child of six, the editor said
 to himself, knows that mooses. or meece, don't grow on trees. We figured we'd go along with the gag,
 humor Dan a little, then bite.
 But when We finally got down
 to cases, we find there IS such a thing as a moose tree, and mooses, or meece, don't grow on them. A moose tree, to you other chee- chakoS (and there are plenty more hereabouts) is a tree that moose
 hunters like to camp near so they
 can climb to the top of it and scan
 the horizon for moose.
 The idea is. when a moose hunt CT finally gets smart after trying to beat a moose at his own game of who's-hunting-who, he climbs
 the tallest tree he can find and sits until he sees a moose.
 A moose trees is generally a bruce or hemlock of great height I-sometimes 200 feet or so-and | ,ouIp nf thnca tpnac apa co uyoIl

It was open season up the Third for house seats. The census enu- merators would have a hard time np there counting a household without a candidate. .-
 There were 22 courageous souls seeking the nomination for the seven house seats on the Demo- cratic ticket and II on the Repub- lican side. For number of candi- dates the Third had odds on all other divisions. Whether 1t could count enough noses in the census tally to warrant increased house representation remained to be seen. Best guess was that it probably would, when the census report Is submitted to the next legislature, although as late as 1948, the First Division cast more votes than the Third.

muskeg trying to outwit the moose the hard way.
 HOW DID THIS START?
 Well, anyway, the reason we are on this subject is because Bates, in his capacity of secretary of the Sti- kline Sportsmens Association, re- ceived a letter this week from Knox Marshall, Division supervisor of the Forest Service, about these prize trees.
 Seems that it could be possible for a citizen to obtain a "use per- init" from the Forest Service on certain areas in the Stikine Valley upon which there happens to be a very nice moose tree. The citizen would presumably be delighted to learn of this coincidence and there upon reveal his true identity as that of moose hunter. His permit would, in effect, shut out other hunters and the permit holder would have monopoly on the tree
 To forestall such a possibility, the Forest Service says 1t will write a clause into all use per mits" saying "This permit does not authorize exclusive use of any moose tree as used in moose hunt. ing, on any National Forest Land, on or off the permit area"
 Thus, moose trees will be avail. able to all-f1rst come, first served
 That's about all there is to this yarn. We just hope nobody comes in and starts to tell Us about a halibut orchard.

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE

With the primary election less than two weeks away-April 25- the politicos were hammering down the home stretch with their eyes fixed on a nomination. Territorial wide the only contests were for Commissioner of Labor where in- terest apepared to center mainly in the race between Incumbent Commissioner Henry Benson and his ex-employee. Ray Beach, for the nomination.
 As result of the recent COP caucus. in Juneau, Beach seemed to have the blessing of the so-called unified" Republicans. led by Cap Lathrop, but Benson had been building his fences for a long time and is considered a better than run-of-the-mill vote getter. The result should be highly interesting in view of the cold shoulder given Benson at the Juneau caucus.
 In the Democratic primary for the labor post, Rep. Alfred Owen appeared to have the inside track for the nomination His opponent, Ross Kimball of Fairbanks had made a trip down through the Southeast but the political follow CTS were opining he wasn't well enough known to tip over Owen.
 In the races for senate seats, the Democrats had two three-way con tests on their ticket, in the First and Fourth Divisions, and the Re- publican one, the Second. All had the legislative touch. In the First, it was Senator Frank Peratrovich of Klawock, seeking reelection! Rep. James Nolan of Wrangell and Rep. G. E. Almquist of Juneau, striving for a senate seat. Two to be- nominated. In the Fourth, Rep. Warren Taylor and former Repre- sentatives Robert Hoopes and Jesse Lander are fighting it out for the two-seat nomination on the Demo- cratic ticket from that division. In the Second, the GOPers have Sem ators Charles D. Jones, William Munz and Rep. Percy IpalOok com peting for the nomination.

MINNEAPOLIS. Feb. 15.-A
Minneapolis judge holds that
newspapers have the right to
publish full information about

Judge John A. Weeks of the
Hennepin County District Court
|gave the opinion yesterday In
granting change of venue in q
five-year-old murder case.
Judge Weeks said the case has
become a cause celebre. 1t In
wolves Rubin Shetsky, night club
manager accused of shooting Al
bert Schneider, a labor leader

his trial. The trial continued and
Shetsky was convicted and SEN
fenced in absentia. After he had
served about three years of a life
sentence, the Supreme Court
granted him a re-trial.
Cited Publicity.
Shetsky petitioned for a change
OF venue for his forthcoming trial
He claimed the case has received
SO much publicity he could not
get fair trial in Minneapolis.
Discussing this phase of Shet-
sky's petition, Judge Weeks said:
"The public is entitled to re-
ceive such news and attempts by
courts through contempt powers
to gag and censor it are harsh
and unjustifiable and probably
unconstitutional.
Two Alternatives.
Such measures are not con-
sistent with true democratic prin-

Where such abnormal circurn-
stances prevail, the defendant has
only two alternatives, one to waive
a trial by jury, or to ask for q
change of venue to another
