SONG.
From Mrs. p. C. S., WGs1ttngton,)
Mrs. II. M. NJ, Upper Marlboro.
The verse, when we've been dead
ten thousand years." is the last
verse Of Amazing Grace" found
in practically all evangelistic
hymn books. I know a pastor to
whom that verse is a favorite and
their church uses that song con-
stantly.
(From Mrs. E. S. D., WashingtonJ
I am very happy to be able to
send in the following hymn re-
quested by Mrs. H. M. M, Upper
Marlboro. These verses are copied
from three different hymn books.
This order was used for the first
three and last verses. The other
three verses were in but one hymn
book so I have inserted them as
second best.
AMAZING GRACE
Amazing grace-how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me.
l once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers. tolls and snares.
/ have already come;
IT'S grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and position be
AS long as life endures.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shah fail.
And mortal life shall cease,
shall possess, within the VEIL
life of Joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God who called me here below,
VIII be forever mine.
When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less day to sing Gods praise
Than when we first begun.
John Newton.

Water Shut-Off Faces Town If Cold Continues

Wrangell faces a complete water shut-off if the present cold wea- ther continues. City maintenance man Frank Zepp said there is only about enough water left for seven days at the present rate of con sumption.
 It was explained that the water situation is critical, as long as the cold continues, and people are a. gain urged to keep water taps shut off when not in use
 It is the object of the city to a. vert such a situation as last year when the town was out of water for several weeks, mainly on ac- count of the danger of fire.
 As an experiment water was shut off Wednesday night through out the town. zepp said that just before he shut off the water, pres sure gauge at the power plant read IS pounds. Normal pressure is 98 to 100 pounds. AS soon as the water was shut off the gauge rose to normal pressure. This gives an idea, it was pointed out, the amount of water which was being wasted.
 Also in the preceding 24 hours water had dropped in the reservoir four inches. During the next 24 hours. covering the period of the shut-off. it dropped only two inch es
 Zepp said there were approXim- ately six feet of water in the res ervoir at present, about a seven days supply. If it does not rain be- fore this time is up it will be ne- cesary to haul water again. The plan of nightly water shutroffs was abandoned after too many com plaints.
 If folks will cooperate in saving water it may last until the weather warns and it rains, Zepp concluded.

Virginia Davis Next Artist To
 Appear Here

Americas foremost lady trouba- dour, Virginia Davis, will be the next artist on the Alaska Music Trail concert series appearing here on Saturday. March 10. at S:30 D. m. in the high school auditor jun. Gwendolyn Williams, pianist and noted accompanist. will be at the piano.
 Combining the entertainment ap- peal of music and the stage, Vir- ginia Davis is often called the Ruth Draper of song,' as she brings to life the many amusing and serious characters whose story she is telling to her audiences.
 Traditional songs, ballads, folk tunes from the mountains of Ken lucky, the provincial country sides of France. England, Spain, Hol- land and Ireland make up the Vir- ginia Davis programs. Her rare ability to create the atmosphere of her song and by the means of few simple props shawl, an apron or a bonnet actually be- come the person she is impersonat- ing, has brought fame to this young artist in many parts of the world.
 Concert halls of New York, Bos- ton, San Francisco Washington, D. C., and many more across the Unit ed States have resounded to the prolonged applause of appreciative audiences for the performances of this unusual program by Virginia Davis. Last summer Miss Davis sang for Queen Juliana of the Meth erlands while appearing at Hol- lands Music Festival. This will be her first visit to Alaska and she anticipates it with great pleasure and excitement.

FIREWORKS FOLLOW
 WEEK OF QUIET IN
 TERRITORIAL LEGILATURE
By JIM HUTCHINSON
Associated Press Correspondents Associated Press Correspondent.

Associated Press Correspondent
 JUNEAU The Territorial Housa erupted twice this week after two and one half weeks of deceptive quiet.
 Both eruptions poured heat down on the Third Divisions solidly Democratic delegation of seven.
 TheA first blow-up came Wednes- day when all IT Representatives ot other divisions ganged up to push through a recommendation to Con gress for reapportioning the pro- posed statehood convention delega- tion to avoid openly expressed fears of Third Division control
 Second fireworks came yesterday over the now famous or infam- ous, as critics call 1t memorial to Congress and the United Ma tion's Secretary Tryvgie Lie, eX- pounding in eloquent Jeffe ersanial terms the right of the Territory ( establish Republic Of A aska statehood is not granted.
 Final decision was sta.led oi yesterday but not until the Thrf Division authors had. had thei ears battered.
 They proposed amending Il L. striking out the Republic of AI aska' clause and making It a pl~..: memorial for statehood. They los on a 1910 vote
 Majority Af the House expressed it's determination for show dowr on the original memorial. They de manded that it be killed outright so that not even its number re- mained. They insisted that any statehood memorial should be in. troduced anew. Final vote was stalled by parliamentary maneuyer. ing but one thing was certain - there would be no approval by either the House or the Senate of any memorial setting forth the right of secession theory even though proponents argued 1t was only intended to gain attention tc statehood.
 One of the telegrams used effec- lively in the debate was from May or Lee Bettinger of Kodiak. Mike Stepovich, Fairbanks Republican reading into the record the denun- oiation by Bettinger quoted the Kodiak Mayor as describing tho memorial as an expression of "im. maturity and disloyalty."
 The Legislature continued quiel otherwise. Both Houses approved appeals to Congress and the Secre. tary of State against any Japanesc peace treaty that fails to gusran tee against Japanese fishermen re turning to North American waters
 The Senate passed a bill to sci a minimum Alaska wage of a dol lar an hour. The House passed Rep Carlson's bill for the same wage minimum, but also included 40 hour work week provision. The House passed two unemploy ment bills. One would raise pay, ments from s25 to $50 weekly. Ii passed by a one vote margin. The other was to increase dependents total allowances. It passed unani mously

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE


 Alaska statehood is taking quite a beating in the present session of the Legislature. Two measures are largely responsible, one a memorial and the other a bill. The memorial tossed in the hopper by all the House members of the Third Divi- sion demands statehood, but not getting it, the Third Division boys are willing to settle for "independ- ence of and from the government of the United States, according to their memorial. It's a natural for PraYda and radio Moscow. who are always shouting about freeing people from the yoke of capitalism. If the Third Division boys had been instructed from Moscow how to write the memorial they couldn't have done any better.
 The memorial, which is causing no end of controversy around the Territory probably won't get to first base, but the damage has al- ready been done. Loyal Alaskans are tarnished with a touch of pink, thanks to the minimizing House members from the Third Division.
 Along with the controversial memorial comes House Bill No. 3, which is a take off on the fair em- ployment practices bill now caus- ing so much stir in Congress. If it should happen to pass the pres ent session of the Alaska Legisla- ture it will place every southern Senator and Congressman ddfinite- ly against Alaska statehood They are stopping the measure in Con gress and if Alaska comes up with one like it, the southern bloc is almost certain to say, I've don't want any Senators down here from that kind of a country In other words. while intentions might be of the best, the Alaska statehood forces are in effect killing the very thing for which they are striving

The Franklin bill proposing to set up an Investigating committee to look into the activities of vari- ous Territorial departments is hay ing its troubles in the lawmaking chambers in Juneau. While effort ia being made in committee to kill it with amendments, another mea- sure proposing to set up legisla- tive council has been tossed in the hopper also aimed to look into Ter ritorial affairs but with not quite the vigor the Franklin bill propos- es. To investigate or not to investi- gate has become quite a potent question. Meanwhile, the Senate finance committee goes nonchalant- ly on its way delving into financial affairs of the various agencies with the idea of keeping appropriations within Territorial income. This committee, made up of Senators Butrovich, Lyng. Nolan and Snider, probably will wind up being the most powerful in the goth Legisla- ture and will likely dictate the terms of the final appropriation bill.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1951-02-09

Third Division House members ran into difficulty on another front this week, also involving statehood Members from the other three div isions, voting solidly pushed through a memorial asking a change in the number of delegates to be elected to the constitutional convention provided for in the AL aska statehood bill now before the U. s. Senate. Instead of five from the First, two from the Second, 10 from the Third, five from the Fourth and nine to be elected at large. as set up in the Senate mea- sure, the House memorial would have eight from the First, three from the Second, twelve from the Third and eight from the Fourth with none at large. Danger of the representation as proposed in the Senate bill would be that the Third might control the constitutional convention, the memorial points out. The boys from the Third made valiant effort to stop the memorial but it rolled through with IT to 2 vote, only the seven members from the Third dissenting.
