Sunshine Society
Functions Well Here

Under the heading of "A New
Branch Sets An Example, in the
National Sunshine Society organ,
the Aldan Branch of Milford came
in for the following comment: The
Alden Branch was organized in
Milford, Delaware, November Is,
1949. Our President General, Mrs.
Mae Simpson and the State Presi-
dent, Mrs. o. B. Waller, were pres
ent and reported an enthusiastic
group and promising branch. Alden
Branch began work Immediately.
The Mayors wife was asked to join
and she did so, and it was through
this connection that the Mayor re-
ceived first hand information as
to the splendid work the branch
was doing in spreading SUNSHINE
to the unfortunate residents Of
Milford. Their first report was stag
gering as it was hard to believe
that such a tremendous amount of
work could be accomplished in so
short a time. They had supplied
help and cheer in most every way
conceivable. Quantities of food,
clothing, fuel, flowers, cards, small
gifts, etc. were distributed. The
Mayor. hearing of this, must have
thought it a good thing for his
city. as he brought it to the atten-
tiOn of his Council and they in
turn voted to set aside a sum Of
money for the branch to use in
their work and at their discretion.
In April. 1851, Alden Branch en-
tertained the State Convention. Il
will be remembered that the pres
ent Alden Branch of Sunshine So
ciety is the reorganized branch OF
that group whose first president
was the late Mrs. Henry L. Bun
stein.

Everett w.

He reported the Chamber also would like to see thel city build a sidewalk from lower Front Street, where the sidewalk new ends, to Grants Corner.

OLD YUKON CAFE BECOMES HOT SPOT

The old Yukon Cafe building, owned by Meredith Custard, be- came a hot spot this week couple of times. Early Tuesday morning, Prangell Police Chief Ro- bert Gillespie spotted flames in the second story of the old abandoned building Pronto, an alarm, and the fire department was on the job to toss out a burning mattress. Apparently someone had gone into the place and fallen asleep, neg lecting to put out a cigarette Thanks to Chief Gillespie and Fire Chief Bill Grant and his boys, the other half of the town didn't burn as did the waterfront half of the main street just four months ito the night earlier, March 21-22.
 Wednesday night at City Coun- cil meeting the old Yukon building again became a hot spot. Business people along the street were a lit tie "burned up." They gathered in force before the Council and de- manded that something be done, declaring the building a fire haz- ard.
 The Council, conscious of the danger, did all it could do under Section 2O3 of the Universal Building Code recently adopted by the city. It sent the required writ ten 3O-day notice to owner Gus tard to do something about it or the city would Covering other re- puted hazards" along the street, the Council sent similar letters to the Gross interests of the Coliseum Theater, which recently acquired the former Nixie Roaming building in the next block, and to Neil Grant, estate manager of the pro- perty next to the Wrangell Trans fer, to fix up or break up.
 Meanwhile. fire, the Council conceded, was something to watch out for in Wrangell. Half a town. it was generally accepted, like half loaf, was better than no town at all.
 Custard is at present at Point Barrow; Neil Grant is in Seattle, and Zalmain Gross at his head quarters in Juneau An airmail let ter would reach all of them in 48l hours, it was said, which would leave them 2S days to do some thing about the buildings.
