KETCHIKAN FIRE LOSS ESTIMATED AT UPWARD OF $1OO.OOO

KETCHIKAN -LR- No factual estimates have yet been placed on the damage resulting from the fire that Tuesday swept through the Gouroff apartments and Kee boat storage. Guesswork has placed the loss at upwards of $100,000 but insurance appraisers were expected to come here to make full tabul- ation of the damage.
 The Kee Boat Storage, owned by Rodger Elliott, was completely de- stroyed and the two-story Gouroff apartment building was gutted. A total of 72 skiffs and cruisers went up in the blaze which destroyed the boat storage. Only dozen boats were saved.
 George Gouroff owned both the apartment building and the boat storage cOmpany's buildings and suffered the greatest loss. He had his apartment building insured but did not have insurance on the other buildings.
 Elliott's equipment in the boat storage company was considered a total loss but is covered by insur- ance.

SALVATION ARMY DRIVE FOR FUNDS TO BE MADE BY LETTERS

The Salvation Army financial campaign now in progress in an effort to raise $1,0OO for the work in Wrangell has been re-appraised by the executive committee of the Advisory Board, it was announced today by Major E. W. Hammer, in charge of the local unit. He said that it had previously been thought advisable to conduct a personal solicitation campaign by volun- teers, but finding that most peo- pie prefer sending in their dona- tion, the committee has decided that the appeal by letter, having proven successful in former years, is possibly preferred by most to the personal approach. Therefore, Maj. Hammer said the personal appeal is being discontinued and he asks that all friends of the Salvation Army send their donation in as in the past.
 With this change of plan in the campaign, Mai Hammer said, 1t has been decided that another let ter should go out to those who have not yet contributed request ing that their gift be sent in. Ev- cry effort, he said, will be made to avoid duplication of letters to those who have already contributed but, he said, should this happen by err TOT, he hoped that it would be ex4 cused.

WILLIAM TAMAREE
 LEAVES AFTER NEARLY 96 YEARS IN WRANGELL

William Tamaree, probably Wran' gell's oldest resident, left this week for Fairbanks with his daughter and granddaughter, Mrs George Sheppard and Joan Shep pard, to make their home
 MT. Tamaree, who will be 96i years old in November, has lived in Wrangell all of his life and re- calls vividly many historical ev. ents which took place in the ear. ly days - many of which are re. corded in Bancroft's History of Al aska.
 MT. Tamaree has sold his resi-. dence to Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Hodge, residents of Southeastern Alaska for the past eight and . helf years, who came here recently from Ketchikan. The Hodges are operating a restaurant and room ing house in the building.
 MT. Tamaree, a familiar figure on WrangelPs Front Street, will be missed by his many friends here who, although they wish him well in Fairbanks, hope that by spring he will have had enough of the Golden Heart of the North" and will return home.

His Movie Role and I e|evision Shows
Keep Steve Allen Moving at Dizzy Pace

misary last week Allen was
introduced to Piper Laurie,
Audie Murphy and Benny
Goodman. all of whom were to
appear with him on the TV
spectacular.
While studio photogs snapped
pictures Of Allen and Good-
man, I couldn't help noticing
that Allen looked older than
the man whose life story he
will portray. Yet he is 80,
and Goodman is As.
"FIow does 1t happen you
don't let Benny play himself?"
! asked one of his studio chiefs.
Benny is q musician, not
an actor" came the reply.
I guess there's been some
progress in Hollywood after
all. Whether a person can act
or not hasn't always been a
prime consideration with our
movie makers.
All of the music coming
from Aliens clarinet will be
' done by Goodman. but I ior-
got to mention that Allen also
has been taking lessons on
the COB stick. so his finger
work will look legitimate.
Allen also is writing a book
about comedians. I hope he in
cludes a chapter explaining
their apparent desire for self
torture.

ON THE AIR
BY BERNIE HARRISON

George Gobel, that chubby
little rascal from the North
Side of Chicago George writes
in American magazine that he
was chubby on the South Side.
too) should get another award
for his season signof Satur-
day before last. Promptly.
There are minny, minny
ways of signing off for the
season, but only one happy
one--and that's to make sure
your audience is well taken
care of during the summer
months.
George took the best care
of that by announcing that
Ransom Sherman would be
the host on a new series to be
called "And Here's the Show"
that Jonathan Winters would
be his first guest and that John
Scott Trotter and his well-fed
musicians would be around to,
well, feed the music.
\ Never Made 1t on TV
So who's Sherman, you say?
(Tell the man who Sherman Is,
boy.)
Well, to put it quickly, Sher-
man is a very funny fellow with
a long history of being a card,
only he never quite made it in
TV like George did.
Maybe he was too far ahead
of the crowd. Milton Berle
was "Mr. Television" then and
he was No. / because of the
way he took a fall-and a
barrage of powder in his face
every time he yelled makeup"
Not that Sherman didn't
win his share of awards. He
got one for having the best
daytime show on TV a few
years back but it didn't get
him a sponsor. He'd had top
