PETERSBURG ELKS AND
 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HERE NEXT WEEK END

According to a telephone call to the local Chamber of Commerce this week, the Petersburg Chamber of Commerce will bring it's basket ball t?J team here next Saturday for a challenge game against the local chamber team.
 A committee has been appointed by Ole Buness. local special events chairman, to determine .how many points will be talIied for the visit ors baskets, how many for the To- calls and how many for field goals by players with bald heads. There was some confusion between score keepers and timekeepers last year when Wrangell won in Petersburg, 99-9S. or something like that.
 No one under 32 years of age can play on team. as the Chambers don't want to be responsible for hurting any kids.
 Petersburg comes here with an impressive record nm they have never won a game but the local Chamber Pots are equally impress sive so it should be terrific
 The game will start a little early this year in order not to conflict with the ANB-ANS anniversary dance starting at 10 p. m. the same evening.
