Two weeks ago tonight one half of the business district of Wran- gell was laid in ashes by the worst fire to strike the commun- ity since 1906
 The following day Gov. Ernest Gruening flew here from Juneau to see what could be done toward rehabilitation of the business dis trict. A couple of days later he sent down from Juneau represent atives of various federal agencies, one particularly, John R. Nichols of Housing and Home Finance Administration, to make a dollars and cents estimate of the damage.
 Nichols compiled his report, a good one, and presented the same to the Governor.
 Meanwhile we have heard nothing about making Wrangell a disaster zone. If this was done it is possible that the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corporation might be able to offer long time fin ancing, we were given to under stand.
 It was also stated that possibly the stricken area might become a fill project for the Alaska Public Works agency.
 Two weeks has elapsed since the fire.

This is 546 more than the

O'Bryant said.

Of $50, 900 to build eight
class rooms at Truman.
These will not be completed,
however, until late next
spring.
Meanwhile as an emergency mea-
sure o'Bryant has transferred two
Truman classrooms to Harris which
was under-enrolled. The children
affected by the transfer will be
chiefly from Peary Court and the

Oscar Morales
Talk. Enjoyed
By Rotarians
Tells OF Close
Relationship Between
Key West And Cuba

A lively speech cracking with
humor was the feature of the pro-
gram given at the Rotary Club
luncheon yesterday with Cuban
Consul Oscar Morales letting go
with. both barrels sighted on laugh
ter and quick witted satire.
Morales was supposed to tell
about his duties as consul, and
did so in the more serious as
poets of his speech, but he suc-
cessfully WED with Paul Sher, pro-
gram director who introduced
him and past Rotarian president,
Joe Pearlman in setting a record
as a sparkling humorist.
In his address he pointed out
The difference between how Amsri-
cans and how cubsns talk. The
Latin-Ameriesn gestures wildly;
the American hitehes his trousers
and keeps taking his hands in and
out Of his pockets or fveks his
thumbs in and out Of his belt.
This was done with telling effect
! that put the club members in an
Uproar.
After a brief outline of consul's
duties which are all relative to a
branch of the governments foreign
service, Senor Morales pointed out
the close relationship between Cuba
and this part of the United States.
He emphasized that good Spanish
should be spoken in Key West and
the duo-language habit promoted.
He also pointed out that many Of
our tourist attractions could be i'm
proved upon. A hearty round of ap-
plause was given him as he closed
his interesting, Informative and
funny observations.
w. Curry Harris spoke on the
Rotary Club project for improve
ment of the football field and stated
that he and Earl Adams serve as
niiddlemen to whom donations for
the placing Of sod on the field
could be sent or given with checks
made out to the Quarterback Club.
Paul Sher said that tickets for the
home games, seven Of them, could
be obtained from him at his jewelry
shop, at the Columbia laundry or
at the Key West High School. The
booklets sntitle &c buyer Il re-
served seats aud cost only $3.50.

CHICAGO B-A hearing Of the
House un-American Activities Com

clash between committee members
and Herbert March. an official Of
the CI0 United Packinghouse
Workers Union.
The exchange was touched off
when March, a witness, accused
the committee members of being

again next year. Officers in the other
association explained that opinion
was divided, that it wasn't good
year for the test and that it was
uncertain whether or not the associa-
ton and farmer members would
back up similar program again
next year.
From an area Of generally above
normal rainfall for the summer came
this statement from an association Of
ficer: sIt can be said that many
farmers who participated in the ex-
pertinent were very favorabIy inn
pressed with results achieved and
wish to continue the program for
another year at least. In areas where
the seasons moisture was very much
limited (and there was a large per-
centage of such areas), farmers are
inclined to think that more gem
orators and heavier cloud-seeding
might have extended the area of
heavier (or increased rainfall
More Generators
Report from another association in
a below-average rainfall area went
like this: 1.-THE most of us are salts
fled with results Of the seasons cloud
seeding. Four generators were
operated about 100 hours each from
May 20 to Aug. 10. It always
rained down wind from the genera
tors and the stronger the wind the
farther away it rained. Spacing was
20 miles apart, which we later found
was too far. As there were no phones
at the generators, it wasn't salts

state last summer are difficult to ar
rive at. However, it is indicated from
the many reports assembled in pre-
pairing this story that cloud seeding
is still very much of an experiment
and that actual results have not been
proven. Furthermore, probably no
one knows yet whether rain increas-
ing did work or that it would work
under field conditions in Montana.
The U. S. weather bureau takes the
position that neither increased or de-
creased precipitation in any sig
nificant amounts have yet been
proven by present cloud seeding
techniques.

placing more generators nearer each
other and having really interested
farmers operate them. / personally
traced several storms from generator
to generator. There was little hail
during seeding but after we took out
the generators. there was consider
able hail.
Airplane Seeding
After putting out $4,000 in a
ground generator cloud seeding pro-
gram, with no apparent results, an
other association hired an airplane
cloud seeder and spent an additional
$4,000. For their money, associa-
ton officials feel that they have COW
cred more ground in experimentation
in one year than any other group in
the state and have decided for them
selves that conditions in their plains
area can be met better with airplane
cloud seeding than with ground gem
orators.
The association official reporting
tells of following the cloud seeding
plane in another plane and watching
it 60 into a cloud with wing-tip sill
ver-iodine generators turned on. The
clouds were not giving any rain but
just drifting along at about 80 miles
an hour. He says that about 20 min
utes later it started to rain and, with
the plane seeding steadily, the vol
ume was built up into a considerable
shower.
