FLOWERS BLOOM
THROUGH WRANGELL SNOW

After enjoying one of the finest
falls in recent years which has
kept flowers blooming in Wrangell
yards, it looks today as though ola
man winter has at last arrived.
During the week telephone oper-
ator Elouise Harding brought in
yellow rose bud she had picked il
her yard; we discovered a red rose
bud on a rose bush in The Sentinel
yard and Mrs. Doris Barnes, who
has been south, came home Mon
day on the Baranof to find that
sweet peas she planted in October,
for blooming next spring, are up
two inches. Besides, she had snap
dragons, petunias, geraniums and
w-on-the-mountain still in gay
blooming. Doubtless many other
Wrangell yards still have flowers
in bloom, but from the looks of the
fine, white stuff which started to
fall about $3.50 this morning, there
is going to be snow-on-the-streets
as well as snow-on-the-mountain.
Well, we can't have spring for
ever - even in Wrangell.

Burning Question

While most of us We're largely

whether Walter J. Hickel. 33-year-
old Anchorage contractor. was GO

Alaska
When the report broke fore part
Of the week, the date of the APP
pointment was set for Tuesday
last. First reaction came from the
Fourth Division where solid Re
publieans, headed by Senator Dan
Llahmon. announced themselves as
"astounded" and started sending
wires here and there, mostly to IN
terror Secretary-elect Douglas Nc
Kay of Oregon. wanting to know
how-come. and wouldn't Alaska
Republicans even have a chance to
make a recommendation?
Down in Salem, where on We'd
nesday Governor Mckay turned in
his resignation as Governor and
witnessed the swearing in of Ore
gon Senate President Paul L. Pat
terson to take over the guberna-
torial duties, the Secretary-elect
said he had no comment He eX-
planned that he wasn't yet in office
and further. that such appoint
ments We're made by the President
who would make any announce
ments.
Meanwhile. it was being gener-
ally buffeted around that Hiekel
had the support of Gov. Arthur
Langlie of Washington. Keith Lesh
of Anchorage. a supporter of Hick-
ell and an old friend of Gov Lang
lie, said it wasn't so that Laneaie
was backing Hickel for the job.
He said that the Governor n d
Hickel knew each other only cas-
ualIy. In Olympia, where Lesh had
gone to see Governor Langlie. he
was quoted as saying that Hickel
was getting mis- support "from in
terested persons like myself"
Up to date, Mr. Hicke1 hasn't
been appointed. Whether he would
not be was up to the Republican
high brass In the interim it was
evident that the suggested appoint
ment wasn't meeting with shouts
