THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE
Responsive Chord

Just about the time when want to go moose hunting I find it's time to do a little politieking and 1 cant say I'm too happy about the choice l have to make"
 This excerpt from a letter we received from NJ. L. Molly Mac Spadden, an old friend up in Jun eau. struck a responsive chord with us this week, wanting to go moose hunting, too. if We ever get caught up with the printing It also occur red to us that a man who can sac- rifice his moose hunting in order to devote some time to the affairs of his Territory would be a mighty steadying influence in any legisla- ture. A man who has the patience to wait out a moose, as Molly has done for years, isn't the kind who is likely to go off half-cocked when the pressure is on for the passage of some half-ripe piece of proposed legislation, for example, the illegal Reorganization bill of the last ses- sion. It's our thought, after going through some other letters from ambitious politicians largely devOt ed to haranguing about everybody who doesn't agree with them, that the Legislature can do with a few more moose hunters.

OPS Opposed

Hanging around one of the local bars Monday while waiting for a plane for Juneau, former Mayor Fred P. Hanford, Director of the Office of Price Stabilization for AL aska, delivered the pronouneement that his old home town must be go- ing to pot in a hand basket indeed, when the citizens were considering running Lew Williams, Sr., for Mayor.
 Fred probably has something there, but what is more enlighten- ing to learn is that a federal aet- ency, the OPS, which handles price controls, is now entering the field of municipal controls, if unofficial ly, via it's director.

 John Reed Club

'"The John Reed Club is a revol-
 Jionary organlzation composed of artists and writers in the United states. It was organized by Com munists in memory of the American Bolsheyik, John Reed, who was de- ported to Russia and died there. His remains were placed beside those of Lenin in Moscow"
 It went on to some more stuff a,- bout the Daily Worker and the Kharkov conference until we came to this paragraph:
 The members of the John Reed Club carry on a campaign de- nouncing attacks on Communists which they call red batting. (Nothing,, we suppose to do with red herring.) On May 19, 1930, the following individuals issued sign ed statement in the New York Times in protest of what they call ed the red scare"
 Another long list but we glanced down it - Adohmyan, Potamkin, Phillip Reisman and, familiar note again. Rose Gruening."
 What bunch of stuff that comes in the mail but still no sleep so we tried an excerpt from book by Louis Fischer titled Men and Pol tiles" Fischer has been accused of being sympathetic to the Soviet cause Said the paragraph:

Enrolment 200

Wrangell Institute at present has an authorized enrolment of 200 pupils, all of which must fall in one of two classes of need. They must either be welfare cases certi- lied by the Welfare Division of the Alaska Native Service or they must be children who are deprived of educational opportunity because ne ither the Territory nor the Alaska Native Service has schools in their vicinity in which they can receive the proper grade of instruction.
 At present there are over l80 pupils in attendance, several more than were in attendance at any one time all the year 1951-52. This number will be rapidly built to ov- CT 200 as soon as need of applicants can be determined.
 The present enrolment is much greater in the upper three grades than in the lower and will probab- ly continue to be so since it is the policy of the Alaska Native Service to provide home care for the youns- CT children if at all possible.

PRINCIPAL TELLS OF ACTIVITIES AT INSTITUTE
 By W. s. Watkins, Principal

The other day one of our new employees who had lived in Wran- gell for a number of years remark ed that she had no idea what was ebing done at the Institute until she had a chance to see it firsp hand. Several persons have recent ly asked questions which have led me to believe that it might be well to provide you with some informa- tlon concerning the Institute, it's program and it's people
 The Alaska Native Service is a. dopting a policy under which the Wrangell Institute will. by the fall of 1953. become a full eight grade elementary school As first step, Mount Edgecumbe has this year stopped admitting children below the eighth grade and Wrangeu In stitute has added a seventh grade. In the fall of 1953 the eighth grade will be added and Mount Edge cumbe will become a high school and postgraduate school only.

Reading Again

Probably the coffee " chad for dinner, but at any rate, the shut eye was evasive the other evening and we started going through some of the stuff that has been accumu- lating. First we ran across a docu- ment headed hearings before a special committee Un-American Ac- tivities House of Representatives. This, for sure, would put Us in slumberland, so we waded in. It started out:
 "The Washington Committee for Aid to China was affiliated with the China Aid Council. For the Communist character of the China Aid Council, see the index for ref erences to that parent organiza- tion."
 Looking up the index sounded dull, so we continued on and came to exhibit No. 6, labeled the Wash ington Committee for Aid to China Sponsors, said the report, and listed quite a string of, to us, strange names, then following "Mr. Theodore Grabe" we noted a name that had a familiar ring. It was printed, Mrs Ernest Gruening."

Women Shoppers

No sleep there, so we continued on to the section dealing with the League of Women Shoppers. Said the report:
 Tn 1895 the Communist Party, through a number of it's influen- tial members and fellow travellers, launched a movement of consumer agitation and propaganda on very wide front. As a result, whole galaxy of Communist consumer or- ganiZations appeared on the scene, including the magazine Health and Hygiene, the League of Women Shoppers" and it listed few more. Then it jumped to the League of Women Shoppers so we followed along and ran across great lists of names. Directly, on page 1923, the Washington League of Women Shoppers was staring us in the face. Running through the list of what the report called sponsors we noted 1t was headed off by Mrs. Dean Acheson and, right following Peggy Duffy, came another famil- far name. Mrs. Ernest Gruening.' .'
 Oh, well. no sleep yet. so we picked up a report of the Special Committee on Un-American Activ. ities, House of Representatives 18th Congress-" It had to do, fl said, with Communist Front Or. ganizations. It'1isted various groups and referred to something called the John Reed Club, said to b, made up of writers. Sounded inter

said he would not pull American

Senator Wiley has just returned

IF YOU'VE ever paid for new carburetor-ify you've
L ever had an engine or fuel pump die before its
time - then you've paid for what rust eats away.
For rust attacks all cars-causes unnecessary re-
pair Jobs in car out of a. In one year, it costs
motorists SlO0OOOO0O in repairs, wrecks enough
fuel pumps and carburetors to make $500 stacks
as high as the Empire State Building.
Here's where the rust comes from. All gasoline
contains water when stored in metal-water formed
when moist air condenseS on metal walls. And when
water meets steel, there's deadly rust
At Sinclair Research Laboratories, we first learned
about its deadlness from the thousands of miles of
pipelines that carry gasoline. Special scrapers
used to get 3 tons year out of 65-mile stretch.
So our technicians went to work to develop
special chemical which could be added to gasoline
to prevent rust. They call it RD-ll9e-the chemi-
cal which forms tough film between the metal
and the water, film that fights rust In that
65me stretch of pipeline instead of tons, less than
ounce of rust was produced in six-month period.
