WRANGELL HIGH AND PETERSBURG SPLIT SERIES

Last Friday and Saturday nights in Petersburg the WraugeH High School basketball team Wolves. split the two game series with Petersburg High School Vikings Wrangel won Friday. 59 to 33 and Petersburg won Saturday, 47-43.
 Boys making the trip with Coach Don Kangas were Tom Maxand, Ed Bradley. Clint Miller. Jim Gunder- son, Lynn Schwartz, Earl Jenkins. Allen Casey, Steele Ferguson. Neil French and Thorne Ferguson Pat kangas went as team manager.
 The first game was all Wrangel's from the opening gun with Maxaud, Miller, Gunderson and Schwartz all hitting field goals in the first quar- ter 10 give them a 16-7 lead. Tine 'seeond period Gunderson led the Wolves to a 30-15 half-time lead by .adding three more field goals and two foul shots In the third quarter Petersburg started to C.ose the gap but Schwartz grabbed nine more points to keep Wrangell ahead 39- .37.
 Maxand and Gunderson cut loose in the last quarter with six and nine points respectively. Then subs Jen- kins, French and T. Ferguson got in- to the act and Wrangell rolled to a 59-33 victory.
 Scoring for Wrangell were Max and 13, Bradley 2, Miller 6, Gunder- son 21, Schwartz 12, Casey q, French and T. Ferguson 2.
 Elias and Don Reyes kept the Pet ersburg team in the race scoring 9 and 10 points, respectively. Roy Tor wick picked up ?, Jerry Hofstad 3, Nick Ballard 2, and Norman Ott- ness 3.
 Second Game
 The second game was no walk away for Petersburg, which took the first period lead 15-9. Bradley, Miller, Gunderson and Schwartz tried to narrow the margin for Wrangell but Petersburg still had a 27 22 half-time lead.
 Gunderson got hot and made things hum in the third quarter to bring Wrangell up to one point be- hind Petersburg, 93-32. Both teams put in four field goals in the final period, MaXand and Gunderson for Wrangell D. Reyes and Ottness for Petersburg, but the six foul shots the Vikings sank gave them the ball game 47-43.
 Wrangell now has to beat Peters burg two games here and drop Ket- chikan two games and a ployoff game before it can claim the South east Alaska southern division title. It is a big assignment when that many games behind, but with the games on it's home court and having a good height advantage for the first time in years, Wrangell has good chance to do it.

Sincerity in Devotion

Jesus points out where sincerity
is most important Of all: IN our de

God and NammOn. God does not
want part-time devotion BY serv.
ing God, Jesus means living by
God side under God s orders.
Serving Mammon means more
than simply serving money-most
Mammon-Worshippers would deny
that they serve money 1t means

Well with people who have money.
Serving God means living as
Jesus lived, for others; serving
Mammon means trying TO be
served by as many persons as
possible. Success, in Manmon's
terms, is measured in terms Of
how many people work for you;
success in Gods terms, is meas.
ured in terms Of how much you
have helped others. Sincere deyo-
ton TO God must be devotion all
life through.

What Is Sincere Prayer?

Another concrete case that Jesus
takes up is prayer There is story
that once a minister was told after
service. Doctor, that was the
most eloquent prayer ever dcllv.
cred to a Boston audience Jesus
would say that a prayer delivered
TO an audlence-Boston, Bombay
or Barber Junction. no matter
where-isn't a prayer it's just
way Of showing off A certain pro-
fessor Of English used to quote
famous authors in his public pray
ers: As Shakespeare has said O
Lord Thou remembcrcst What
the poet Browning hath said %.
Now there's no use quoting poetry

speech. not to a prayer. or course
Jesus did not mean that we are
never To pray in the presence Of
others He himself prayed IN pub
lie on various occasions. Leading
others in prayer is a rare gift and
should be cultivated But while
prayer, sincere prayer, can be with
others and for others. it should
never be to others Some preach
ers beat the congregation over
their heads with a prayer as the
saying is. Some doaCous have been

But the men charged with see

One example in which the hui
man element thwarted their
efforts is that of the Princess

week, headed for Skagway,
Alaska, when she ran aground.

age was on the bridge. The
lookout saw the reef and cliff
looming in the darkness and
light rain. But it was too late
to bring the ship about.
Why was the Princess Kath-
leen a mile and half off her
course, despite her carefully
drawn charts and up-to-date
navigation equipment? The
marine investigators will have
that one to answer.
AS the ship rested with her
bow on a reef. an SOS. was

The United States has always
looked on these international
standards as minimum. Safety
regulations for American ship
ping, set by the Coast Guard,
are more stringent. A revised
set Of rules for the American
Merchant Marine is in the pub
lication process.
Construction standards are
more rigid. Coast Guard off,
cials say American ships are
among the most solidly built Of
any on the seas.
The Coast Guard sets strict
fire regulations. These require
regular fire drills and up-to-date

ing standards vary according to
the type of ship.
In addition to these inter-
national and national safety
rules. those who ply the seas get
aid from the mapmakers. This
comes from the International

provides for exchange of infor-

tragic came only a few miles
from the spot the Princess

one, however, was before de-

On October 18. 1918, the Prin-

the bulk Of this work is being
carried on. Some 100, 900 farms
are fed by the irrigation COM
pleted in the so years the Unit
ed States Government has in
terested itself in such projects.
The value of food produced
from this irrigated land now
averages over a half billion dol
lars a year. Reclamation prof.
ects also have provided giant
power installations, of course.
The country's power capacity
has been swelled more than 35
million kilowatts by these lecla-
nation projects.
Some Of the major installa-
tions completed are the Grand
Coulee, the Columbia Basin and
the Hoover Dam on the Colo
RADIO River. The Missouri River
Basin project. approved by
Congress in 1914. eventually will
irrigate about 6 million acres
and provide about "a million
kilowatts of power capacity.
They Pay Their Way
In the long run these projects
cost the Government nothing.
Taxes derived from the COM
munities which spring up
around reclamation projects
eventually repay the costs. Fed
eral taxes from reclamation
projects of the past so years
have totaled about $2.3 billion.
This is considerably more than
the Governments total ex-
penditures on reclamation.
AS for the future, the United
States Bureau Of Reclamation
has estimated that our II West
ern States have some SO million
acres OF !" potentially irrigable"
land now going to waste. Those
so million acres. If Irrigated,
would be the equivalent of be-

of unirrigated land in the West.
On the estimate that an aver

acreage would accommodate up

These chronological advances,

close to so million by 1875.
Contrary to impressions that
