SCHOOL NEWS
By C. L. Anderson. Supt.

American Education Week was observed in Wrangell public schools with masy Yisitations during the week by interested patrons. No at tempt was made to provide exhibits but a good showing of the average daily work of the children was in evidence and much interest was shown on the work exhibited.
 The highlight of the week was the open house Wednesday night which 400 people attended. The work of the band and the vocal mu- sic organizations was very we'll re- ceived, and the progress shown in the short time these organizations have bees in existence was very good.
 Mayor Lew Williams gave a short address on Loyalty for Citizen ship" Mrs. Ruby Browne invited all the patrons to stay for coffee af- ter visiting the rooms. The refresh ments were served by the high school girls home economic class and were furnished by the Parent. Teachers Association and other pat. rons of the school who were not members of the P-TA.
 The response of the public and the work of the students was hap, oily received by all members of tht staff and the Board of Education. l The teen-age square dance that was held Friday, Nov. 6, was { huge success and the only inciden that marred the complete enjoy ment by all, was too much exuber ance on the part of some of tn, youngsr teen-agers who were mort interested in other games than il dancing.
 Several training pictures for Bo! Scout and Cub Scout work hay
 been shown in the school and 1t i
 hoped tLat in the very near futur
 a good Scouting program will be il effect in Wrangell.

WRANGELL

INSTITUTE NEWS


 One of the most interesting as poets of Wrangen Institute is the provision made for care of illness among the children living here. Whenever a child in any home is i'll the routine of the home is often entirely upset With two hundred Iehildren in the Nrangell Isstitute home, it is easy to see how involved Ithe care of illness would become without careful planning This careful planning has been done. however, and the Wrangell Institute Health Center provides the ueces- ! lsary health services 10 all the stud ents. it provides isolation when necessary pending diagnosis of chronic illness. and does effective work in the control of epidemics. The recent outbreak of measles, in wieh 48 cases occurred at the Institute, is an example of the i'm : portance of the work of the Health Center It is noteworthy that no deaths and very few, if any, com ! plications developed in this out break. In this respect Wrangell has been much more fortunate than other Alaskan communities some of which have had a number of ia talities.
 Miss Margaret Kirchner, who ar rived recently to take charge here, i has an interesting background. A native of New York state, Miss Kir- elmer graduated from Bellevue Hos pital in New York City in 1880. In | 1943 she took a degree from New York University in Supervision of Nurses.
 After working several years in various hospitals of New York, Miss 1 Kirchner went to Whitehorse in 1944. From 1945-47 she was head , nurse in charge of Barrow hospit- al. Later she spent 2 months nurs- ling in the Seward Sanitarium. Just before being transferred to Wran- geIl she was stationed at Edge cumbe. When asked to compare AL askan communities in which she had worked with New York as plac- es in which to live, Miss Kirchner said she had no intention of re- turning to the hustle and hurry of New York's subways; however, she indicated that she does miss the theater and daily papers in Alaska.
 Mrs. Garnet Myers, assistant to lthe nurse, has been employed at the Health Center a little over a year. She carries heavy load in maintaining hospital sanitation and in doing a thousand and one things necessary to keep the center operat- ing smoothly. She has been des- cribed as a cheerful and willing worker who is naturally pleasant and understanding with children. Mrs. Myers is a longtime citizen of Wrangell with 30 years resi- dence here. She has worked at the Los Angeles Lying In Hospital,
 Camarillo Hospital, and Bishop Rowe before she was employed here. Mrs. Myers is married to Jim
 Myers of Wangell who is currently
 employed at the Institute.
 Miss Mary Abreu, nurse for the past four years with the orthoped- ie unit at Edgecumbe. is due to ar rive at the Wrangell Health Center Thursday, Nov. 12. She replaces Miss Rita Brauninger, who was re. ' gently transferred to Mt Edge : cumbe.
 During the recent measles cpl
 demic Mrs. Eva Minner has helped
 with the work at the hospital.

 Claims Slain by ntruders

 A secret indictment against her and Warren former night club per former at Fairbanks. was returned after they had left Fairbanks. War ren drove to Oakland from Fair banks, starting the day of the slay- ing.
 Not Worried
 In Seattle, a relative of Warren said the negro drummer spent sey- eral days there en route from Fair banks to Oakland last month. and did not seem worried about any thing at the time
 The relative, who asked to re- main unidentified said Warren left behind in Fairbanks a white wife who is expecting a child.
 Both Mrs Wells and Warren for merly lived in Seattle. The music ian's relative said he performed in several night spots in recent years, mostly as a singer instead of drum mer.

SEATTLE -AP- \ T.. & Fish and WudHfe Service decision fo re commend a tw0-yoar closure of fishing in the open area of Prince William Sound and to cut by 50 per cent the reflective fishing effort in Cook Inlet and Southeast Alaska. has been announced.
 John h. Farley. the FHS director. said the cut in the two latter areas lis proposed by reducing fishing gear and by stricter limiting of fishing areas. It would involve the creating of new "no fishing zones land generally a doubling of sucn Isanetuaries around the mouths of pawning streams Details remain to be worked out
 Farley emphasized that FNS de cisions do not constitute new regu- lations, but will only be reeom- mendations to the Secretary of the Interior.
 Industry Wants Reduction
 For Bristol Bay, he said, the iu- dustry is proposing similar volua- tary reductions in fishing boat op- erations. The FWS does not have authority to curtail the number of boats in operation, but he said tha operators can control the Bristol Bay operations effectively because they own most of the boats
 He said the operators propose a 50 per cent reduction in Bristol Bay. with more days of fishing than the previous proposals for sharp curtailments.
 The move to cut down on the catch of the once-rich salmon runs follows a fishing season which has been described generally as the most disastrous in Alaska history
 "The industry and fishermen have been most cooperative in discuss ing the problem with us and show ing an interest in going along with ,us,' the federal director declared. They realize something must give"
 l He said the aim of all interests is to have a set of regulations, while giving due weight to conser- yatiOn and make it practical for the industry to operate. Industry spokesmen complained bitterly at a recent hearing here against propos- ed drastic cuts in the number of fishing days They said such a pol icy would not allow them an econ Omic operation.
 Same Season Length Farley said that in general the FWS proposals would allow about the same length of fishing seasons as this year in Cook Inlet and Southeast Alaska.
 Farley said the industry is being asked to submit proposals on whag fishing trap site3 they would abau- don voluntarily He sad details ot other gear restrictions win Ia worked out in conference with the fishing interests.
 1 One of the FWS proposals is to | double the distance between se- nets to cut dowr the catch.
