 TO MEET MONDAY,
 CAMPBELL SPEAKER

Guest speaker at the Monday, January 30 meeting of the Juneau Creative Writers Club will be Archie Campbell of the Daily Alaska Empire staff.

 A comparative newcomer to Alaska, Campbell expresses enthu- siasm for the part of the Territory he has seen. He is looking forward to spring in order that he may get an airman's-eye view of south cast Alaska-which shouldn't be a project too difficult for a traveller of his caliber.

 Interested people other than active members of the group are cordially invited to the meeting, which will be at pm in the home of the Rev. and Mrs. A. B. Morgan, 123 Fourth Street.

Wrange|I Has Aqua Buf fIs Now Short On
 Air; Need More Aid

The fishing community of Wran- gell. which last week was rescued from plight brought on by a severe water shortage, by the steam CT Denali depositing two saltwater pumps on it's arid Front Street for fire protection, now is out of air.
 Not the kind they breathe, how ever. It seems that while the town is resting easier now that it can fight a fire-if one happens--by cooperation of the Army in Ju- neau who released the pumps for use and the Alaska Steamship Company, they need an air com pressor.
 The ground is frozen right down to the water mains, long solid from the prolonged cold spell which has struck all Southeast Alaska's south ern towns.
 They want to dig down to free the water lying frozen, so they can get drink without having to melt snow or have cans delivered to them. But with pick and shovel it's an ardouous task. They have a large jack hammer, but nothing to make it go.
 Vern Smith, city councilman, who last week came to Juneau to ins- pect the water pumps assigned to Wrangell and incidentally, to take several baths, today called Secre- tary of Alaska Lew M. Williams for assistance on the air situation.
 The Federal Building was full of smirking hints as to who might be sent to furnish the stricken town with hot air-but that isn't what they need.
 Williams today is busy contact ing the Army again to see if they have spare air compressor some where among their property. Lieut.. Comdr. Edward P. Chester, Jr.. the Governors military aide, prom ised all the assistance he could muster.
 With a mechanized method of reaching the frozen mains, Wran- gell may be able to have fresh water from household taps within the near future-if they get the air.
