REGAINS RING
PITTSBURGH. Feb. 27, (/P>—
James DeLuco, who lost his Du
quesne University ring to a Ger
man soldier during the battle of
the bulge in January, 1945, has it
back again.
A New Jersey woman, who said
that her husband took the ring
from a German soldier, wrote to
the university asking them to find
the owner of a ring bearing the
initials “JDL.” Duquesne traced
it to DeLuco.
WHERE'S THE FIRE?
CLARKSTON, Wash., Feb. 27^

as he hurried on his way.. The
delivery boy was racing to the
I

out the blaze in a jiffy.

SHOE LEATHER PROMOTION
When Ernie Lanigan, the bas?'
ball historian, heard about all the
new minor leagues blossoming out
this year, he likes to tell how he
helped to organize the old New
England league in 1918 “on the
sidewalks of Lawrence, Mass.”
Pressed for an explanation of the
sidewalk organization, Ernie says
“None of the promoters had the
price of a hotel room.”
There are an estimated 10,000,
000 dental plate wearers in the
United States.

COUNCIL HAS BUSY
BUT SHORT MEETING
The City Council held a regu
lar meeting Monday night in the
City Hall. The first order of busi
ness taken up was the proposed
“steel-piling bulkhead” for the
property on the south side of
Nome bordering on Bering Sea.
The proposal was made by Gor
don Wildes, field representative
for the Sommers Construction Co.,
who were drawing up the plans
preparatory to offering a proposal
to the several property holders in
the area.
The council was asked to par
ticipate in the project, inasmuch
as the city street, Lanes Way, is
included in the area. The few
thousand dollars which the city
would have to pay would be put
up to the citizens on the ballot in
the coming election, either as an
expenditure or as an abandon
ment of the portion of street in
question, mso that the property
could be sold.
Block 109 lots, numbered 1,
through 10, were sold to Carl
! Glavinovich, Walter Glavinovich,
Frank Love and Robert Long, for
$150.00.
The garage and real estate of
the MacDougall estate was sold to
the highest bidder, W. W. (Chief)
Laws, for $701.00.

i tors of the Second Division to be
j present so that the chairmen of

; number of members and visitors
were present, including Senators
1 Cochran and Scott, and Repre
' sentatives Anderson and Porter.

| chairman of the roads committee,
gave a brief resume of the vital1

|ing.
Richard Webb outlined the avi- i
ation program with the emphasis;
on the completion of two fields at
Kotzebue and Haycock.
A. Polet reported for the har-1
bor-waterfront and fisheries com-;
mittee, stating that inasmuch as
all the necessary information had
been reported favorably by the
federal agencies concerned in the
various projects, the present leg
islature should memorialize the
Congress of the United States to1
appropriate the necessary funds to
complete the surveys and projects, j
President Mitrovich stated, in
the absence of chairman Frank
Bingham, that the legislature
would obtain for the Second Di-:
vision, the several federal offices
which are required to efficiently
handle the needs of the Division,
namely: welfare, public health,
unemployment compensation, U.
S. employment service, and vet
erans bureau.
Paul Dryden, representing the
veterans of the Second Division,
spoke briefly in favor of opening
a branch office of the Veterans
Bureau in Nome, to handle the
needs of the many veterans in the
Division, rather than force them
to do all of their business by mail
to some “foreign” office.
The legislators each spoke!
briefly about the coming session
and that they would do their level
best to pass the necessary legis
lation.
Zoologically speaking, apes are
more like man than like monkeys.
