FIR. HALL NAMED TO HAWAII CONVENTION

Fr. Hugh Hall, of the local Episcopal Church, returned from Seward last week after attending the annual Clergy Conference, inc 19oo conference meeting at St. Peters Church was attended by ali the Episcopal clergy of All aska under direction of the Bish- op of the Missionary District, the Rt. Rev. William J. Gordon.
 Among the items of business was the election of Fr. Hall as the clerical delegate to the churchs Triennium Convention to be held in the Missionary Dis- trict of Hawaii at Honolulu in Sep tember. At this convention, he'd every three years, gather the lay and clerical delegates of the Episcopal Church from all over the world to transact the busi- ness of the church and to lay plans for the ensuing three years.
 One of the personal side lights of the coming convention was the fact that last February someone, who wished to remain anonymous, sent Bishop Gordon . large gift asking that with his permission Fr. Hall be allowed to attend the convention in Honolulu. The Bishop granted his permission and instructed Fr. Hall to attend whether he had legal status as a delegate or merely as visitor. His fellow clerics, however, fur ther honored him by electing him their delegate at this conference. One of the lay delegates attend ing with him will be Chester Se- week, faithful and outstanding Eskimo layman of the Episcopal Church in Kotzebue.
 With regards to the Episcopal Church's coming convention, a supremely happy touch was add ed when, on Easter Sunday at the close of the Easter Eucharist Ser vice, purse from the congrega- tion and friends was presented
 to Mrs. Hall to enable her to attend the convention with Fr. Hall in September. Fr. and Mrs Hall humbly and devoutly give thanks to all those who of their kindness and thoughtfulness have given so generously for her going.

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE
Trouble, Trouble

Trouble, Trouble
 The caldron of the Employ ment Security Commission con- tinues to bubble, bubble. bringing nothing but toll and trouble. This week in Juneau Federal Judge George Folta granted a temporary injunction, restraining the Treas urer from advancing funds to the ESC from the general fund up to two million as authorized by the recent Legislature.
 Meanwhile in Washington where the House insular affairs subcommittee had approved a bill proposing to make the ESC elig- ible for a federal loan, Rep. Say Tor of Pennsylvania offered ob- jection to pushing the legislation ahead on grounds he hadn't had time to read the bill with the re- suit it was put over to future date. Chairman Engle said it might be taken up again next week.
 If you don't get your unem ployment check it will be because the fund, once containing some 12 or 13 million dollars, is not only depleted but overdrawn about $800,000 which was advanced from the general fund before the injunction was granted.
 Bubble, bubble, toll and trouble.
 Whate No Delegates!
 And trouble was not only haunting the ESC but it was rearing it's ugly head around the constitutional convention. Tele- phones were ringing around the Territory this week as propon- ents of the statehood convention urging likely candidates to file for delegate With close of the filing date a scant 10 days away May 10 - there appeared to be lethurgy on the part of electOr- ate. Nobody wanted to be can didate, or at least, hadn't taken the time to file. Actually there were only couple of filings throughout the Territory. State hood advocates were becoming a. have $3O0,OOO all set up for mid-winter constitutional conven- tion and then not have enugh delegates for quorum. See your U. S. Commissioner or City Clerk if you want to file.
 Another Bubble Burst
 In Washington, statehood was haNing o.ner troubles. The House ru.es committee decided to send cOmuined Alaska Hawaii state hood bill to the floor under pro ceuure which would allow seven hours or aeoate but no amend ments. Statehood supporters had hoped for unlimited amendment procedure in the hope they could pick up. votes by making changes in the bill
 Delegate Bartlett said he would not predict outright defeat for the combined measure but cauti- ously commented it would be ''very, very close.'
 A Ray of Sunshine
 Sun was pouring down on Wrungell town. Snow was reced- ing upward on the spruce-clad mountains. Fiji sh ermen were readying their gear for the gill netting and trolling season open ing Tuesday and the halibut sea son opening May 12. Sport fisher men were catching bigger and fatter king salmon while lakes and streams were freeing of ice to make available to the angler the succulent trout. Gardening and spring cleaning was in evil dence generally. School staff and students were looking forward to vacation
 Despite troubles elsewhere, Wrangell was at the norm.

up with proposed bill in the Legislature that appears
aimed directly against Jonas The bill would make it hard

Normol Children Do
Like To Go To School

Is the standard version Of
Johnny and Mary trudging de-
iectedly to class a true picture OF
how children feel about school?
Definitely not, says DR.. Karl
Menninger. noted psychiatrist
and a member of the National
Citizens Commission for the Pub
lie Schools.
Normal children love school
and can hardly wait for it to
open" said the director Of the
Menninger Foundation, Topeka
Kansas. Learning is one Of the
expressions Of a natural instinct,
unless Someone-parents or teach
ers-messes it up for the child.
Learning is a happy experience
zestfully pursued" ="
But it is true that some chill
dren hate school, he adds Il have
seen some of those children - as
patients-and either they were
dead right about it because the
school and teacher they went to
was impossible or they had been
so conditioned by improper home
training that only special school
could overcome it
AS for adults: There are even
few adults who still enjoy learn
ing things. Some adults no longer
want to learn anything. but for
tunately most children are more
normal"

Why only TCP
gets; the full power
from High 0ctane Gasoline

You might expect that all you need to get
the full power out of high compression
engine is high octane gasoline Actually you
need more than just high octane-you need
a gasoline with special kind of additive.
That's because the way most of US drive
most Of the time-short trips here and there
creates a power wasting problem that
neither engine design nor highest octane
gasoline can solve by themselves.
This sproblem is the increased build-up of Ger.
tain deposits within the combustion chambers
-. the principal cause of power waste.
What happens is this:
As your engine warns up, these deposits
warm up, too-glow red hot. And these glow
ing particles act like hot coals-ignite the
gasoline mixture ahead of time before tho
Plstons reach proper firing position. This is
called pre-Gring and means that power works
against you instead Of for you.
