A gifted speaker one of a family
of 10 children, she held the close
interest of her audience as she TO-

to be regarded as an adult in small
form, but as changing, question
ing individual in his own right, en-
titled to never-failing love, a sense
of security and economic protec-
ton. She urged mothers to provide
a fine, Christian atmosphere in
their homes, and to respect impair
TALLY the personalities and abili-
ties of each boy and girl, that the
youngster might develop to his
highest capacity in his own way
and not be forced to become a copy
of his elders or what the often
thwarted parent might have be-
come. The need of our times, is
dedicated parents, striving to do a
demanding task well devoted to
the children in their care, and pro-
fitting from the wisdom, knowledge
and understanding of others, the
speaker stated
In the spirit of the occasion, two
childhood games were played,
much to the merriment of all.

WRANGELL, ALASKA

Wrangell, a fishing town near the mouth of the Stikine River, is one of the oldest towns in Alaska. It was established by and named Tor Baron Wrangell, chief admin istrator for the Russian American Company, in 1880. It was at first military post to keep out the Hudson's Bay interests but was later leased to that company as a fur trading post.
 In 1875, about 45 years after the first white settlement here a. mong the Thlingits, gold was dis covered up the Stikine River at Dease Lake. At that time boats piled up and down the Stikine be- tween Wrangell and Glenora. Eff teen hundred men mined more than S2,000,000 worth of gold Workmen returned to Wrangell with well-filled gold dust pokes. There were many stores and even more saloons.
 Again during the Klondike Gold Rush, in 1S96-1S9S. this town en- joyed another tremendous boom. Wrangell was much bigger than it is now
 After this gold rush was over Wrangell settled down ito a little fishing town with this industry supplemented by 2 few sawmills

Wrangell Institute, boarding school for Native children has helped to keep the town alive.
 Recently interest in both timber and pulp in Southeastern Alaska has helped Wrangell to grow. One of the old sawmills has been re- newed and the lumber cut there is for export to Japan. There is talk of building chip mill near the site of the old Stikine docks, and a lumber mill is planned by a Washington company just south of the Institute.
 many totem poles and a Council House. rebuilt exactly like the council houses used by the Thlin- gifts before the coming of the white man, is perhaps the most interest ing tourist attraction.
 To enjoy this park one should know a little about Chief Shakes. This chieftain lead the Thlingits in their last great stand against the soldiers of the fort here This fight started after a Stikine In dian, abused by liquor, bit off the finger of laundress at the fort In the skirmish that followed a medi- cine man named ScutdOo killed the post trader. After an all-night fight in which cannons were used against the position of the Indians. the Thlingits were subdued and ScutdoO was hanged just outside the fort.
 Now Chief Shakes house and his totem stands near the highway overlooking Shakes Island.
 II would perhaps be well to note thct Wrangell promises to come in- to her own in the near future. It's near the cent r of Southeastern Al aSka'S vast timber resources con- tained in TOngass National Forest The harbor could accommodate the tentially the water around this lit tie city confpares favorablv with such famous harbors as those con- tained in Puget Sound.

The booklet, blue ribbon winner in it's class, is also of merit as a sample of neatness, penmanship, and organizational
