THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE
!. $ < ' <

Delegate E. L. Bartlett was talk ing a swing through Southeast Alaska this week on sort of bus mans holiday. While Congress was in recess and with the Alaska cam paign and election over, in which the Delegate led the ticket as us- ual. a little rest could have been in order before the grind starts again back in Washington Nov. 27. But Bartlett, ever mindful that it's the Delegate who has the big job of getting over Alaska projects, decided to take his holi- day aboard the Brant with the Army engineers looking over Alaska harbor needs. When the time comes to plug for those ap- propriations before Congress to do work in Wrangell harber as we'll as others, Alaska's Bartlett, always watching out for the needs of the Territory, will be well informed on every project and prepared to go to bat for the Territory. In the next few days he would head east to get pepared for another attempt to try and get Alaska statehood bill through Congress.
 On statehood, unless the untor- seen happened, the odds were a. gainAt him. If the Congress con- Venes on the 27th it means that probably the entire length of the ssgnion will be only three or at the most four weeks. It is almost a foregone conclusion it will adjourn for the holidays toward the end of December. It isn't much time to get any sort of a bill through Congress. On the first Monday in January a new Congrecc conveneS and all potponed legislation must start from scratch including the statehood bill.

The angler has no way of know
ing when his fish has been hooked,
but should the line stop suddenly,
one of two things has happened;
either the bait has been spit out
by the fish, or the bait has been
turned and swallowed. During
this pause the line should be snub-
bed, setting the hook fast.
Fish with hard mouths. parti-
cularly bass, are seldom lost once
they are hooked. But fish of the
ESSOX genus, (pickerel, northerns
and muskies) have soft, tender
patches of tissue inside the mouth
that the hook will tear through.
With its gyrating tactics the ES-
SOX will tear itself free of the
hook unless the utmost care is ex-
ercised by the angler during the
struggle.
By keeping the line tight and
letting the fish wear itself out
the angler will increase his
chances of landing his catch
Always lead fish into the landing
net headfirst.

Cooperation Changes
Vacant Lot To
Tors Playground

Through the cooperation of Fred
Hadley, the maintenance depart
ment Of Sumner Field, the as
sistance of Commissioner 1. G.
Scott and volunteer labor of
fathers from the veterans quonset
huts, a vacant lot on the north
side has been transformed into a
playground for youngsters under
ten years of age.
With over 1900 children living
in Sumner Field and quonset
huts in the Phyllis Wheatley area,
the need for more playground
space and supervision was i'm
perative. Something had to be
done for the safety of the smaller
children.
The vacant lot between Bryant
Ave. and Bassett Place on Eighth
Avenue North is one of the an
swers. The property has quickly
been changed into a safe, fenced
in place where the youngsters can
play to their hearts content.
The breaking up and leveling of
the ground was done by the
Park Construction Co, who do
mated their machinery and ser
vices for the job.
Although some equipment has
been donated a slide is urgently
needed, plus discarded toys which
can be mended for the youngsters
use. The supervision of Tot Lot"
will be voluntary and assisted by
members of the Phyllis Wheatley
Staff. The lot opens before July 1.
Members of the active commit
tees are Emil Machowsky, chair
man; Mrs. Regina Skoy, vice
chairman, James Andrews, Mrs.
Mable Scroggins, and Mrs. Vir-
ginia Tyler from the quonset area.
From the Sumner Field area
they are: Mrs. Astrid Roach,
Charles Clark, Mrs. Ruth Norris,
and Mr.. Orville Black, manager of
the Coop Grocery Store.
Henry Thomas, head resident of
Phyllis Wheatley, is cooperating
with the committees in an advis-
DRY capacity.
