 Any correspondence for the Sti- kine Stampede should be addressed to the secretary of that organiza- tion, Mrs. LouElla McKibben. Any one wishing to participate in the show, and volunteers are still need ed, should contact Thornquist oI Mrs. McKibben.
 In the three years the Stampede has been going it has had publi- city in national magazines and in papers as far away as New York City. Plans for this year call fol putting on the show for about 19 ship loads of tourists stopping here from the first of June to the mid de of September.

REDS IN FLIGHT AS EIGHTH ARMY CROSSES PARALLEL

TOKYO (AP) Allies poured tanks and troops across the 38th parallel into North Korea Friday blocking the east central highway retreat of many Reds caught in South Korea. Allied reinforcements increased the threat of splitting withdrawing Chinese Red armies
 One Allied tank force made a daring thrust Thursday 13 miles north from Hangye on the south bank of the Choyang River near nje. which is four miles above the parallel.
 Blocking the Hangye-Inje high way forced Reds to resort to trails and paths Friday in flight from disaster. The Reds were retreating all across hundred and twenty five mile war front, sowing heavy mine fields and pouring artillery fire back at pursuing Allies.
 Lieutenant General James Van Fleet, commander of the Eighth Army, served notice his troops are not stopping at the controversial boundary.
 The Reds are reinforcing rear guards. Air observers noted more powerful screening forces and sup plies ae rushing south from rear areas and the Manchurian border.

 Contest Here

At press time today two candi- dates had been announced for the Wrangel Fourth of July Queen Contest. The girls are Rose Kal- kins, sponsored by the local Elks lodge, and Dolly Villarma, spon- sored by the Degree of Pocahon- tas. Other candidates will be an nounced as soon as organizations are able to appoint them.
 Having organizations sponsor girls for the Queen contest was not planned earlier but the Fourth of | July Committee, meeting last Tues day, decided there would be more interest and participation in the contest if local organizations spon- sored candidates as was done last year. Letters have been written to all local groups explaining this and asking their support in sponsoring queen candidate.
 Bigger Prize This Year
 Larger and more prizes for the girls entering the queen contest have been decided on by the com mittee.

Persons buying tickets in the contest are casting 1000 votes for their choice for queen, aiding the financing of the Fourth program and making them selves eligible for chance at a new fetrlgerator or deep-freeze.
 The queen will be announced at special coronation ball July 3rd and Mayor Yern Smith will crown the lucky lady,

POOR FISH HAVE AN
 EYE FOR THE LADIES! BUT WHO DOESN'T?

We notice in the Ketchikan pa pers that two ladies are holding the first and second place in that cities salmon derby.
 But Ketchikan ladies aren't the only expert fisherladies.

Not ing that there is really nothing to it when you know how, Dotty is now resting on her laurels while husband Dan fishes feverishly day and night, throwing back the min nows he usually keeps, trying val iantly to catch a 29 pounder!
 Trout Experts" Beaten
 Three of the local trout tex perts'' took their ladies along on trip to Pats Creek last Monday with results that caused one of the boys to leave town (we assume that's why he left) and the rest of them to try to get out of another trip planned for this week end. l Val Coulter caught eight nice trout to beat out by one fish her husband, John "Man-and-boy-g've- fished- -this-country-4 Appears" Coul- ter of the Union Oil Company.

Both Monte and Jim are employed here for the Fish and Wildlife Service. Monte went to. Juneau and is not expect ed back until too late to go trout fishing his week end.
