PATRICIA WILCOX GUEST
AT CHAMBER LUNCHEON
Miss Patricia Wilcox, daugh
ter otf Mr. and Mrs. Clifford
Wilcox, was honored guest at
the Friday luncheon of the
Sitka Chamber of Commerce.
She was one of 20 finalists in
the recent Pillsbury Mills jun
ior contest and wall attend :Jhe
bake-off in New York City
next month.
Her (prize-winning recipe
was one originated by her
grandmother. Miss Wilcox and
her mother leave Nov. 30 for
New York City.
Lloyd Hames suggested a din
ner Dec. 3 for the mayor’s con
ference. However, as a basket
ball game causes a conflict that
night, members thought a Fri
day evening dinner — omitting
the Friday noon session —
mi^ht be more practical. Mr.
Hames will check further into
this plan and publicity will be
given the date, time and place
of the dinner later this week.
The Chamber voted to spon
sor one SJS bowling team in
the new higjh school league
which will be composed of 60
boys and girls from the three
local schools.
Norman Banfield of the Jun
eau Chamber spoke briefly of
their programs and activities.
As there was no heat at the
Elks Clulbroms where the lun
cheon was held, the meeting ad
journed somewhat earlier ithan
usual.

SOCIAL SECURITY MAN
DUE HERE TUESDAY
Howard R. Horswell, Field
Representative of the Social
Security administration, will
arrive in Sitka on Tuesday,
November 29th, to assist per
sons who wish to file claims
or who seek information about
their social security program.
He will be available at the
Sitka Hotel during the eve
nings of November 29th and
30th from 7:00 p. m. to 9:30
p. m.
Hundreds of persons in Al
aska are not receiving proper
credit to their social security
wage record because they have
failed to give their employer
heir correct social security
account number. This may
have a grave effect upon their
insurability or the amount of
the benefit they will receive
when they re:ire or in the case
of benefits to their survivors.
Those persons who have lost
their card or who need a new
one because of change in name
should contact Mr. Horswell.

Don Faurot, Missouri veteran
whose progressive ideals, such
as the Split-T, have been wide
ly copied, also hearinig unfri
endly sounds.
It’s an odd situation when a
man’s job depends upon the a
bilivies of young men who hap
pen to enroll in a school. If the
lads don’t happen to be able to
run as fast, or aren’t as rugged,
or shifty, or clever as similar
groups at rival schools, the
coach is to blame.
We aren’t discounting the
fact that some coaches are bet
ter at their jobs than others.
That’s true in any profession.
Or in digging ditches, for that
matter.
But even the (best coach must
have good material. Sometimes
he is blamed for not having
such material, it (being the the
ory that part of his job is to
go out and convince large, mus
cled young men who relish ring
ged play that the institution he
represents offers superior ad
vantages to those who crave
higher education, particularly'
along football lines.
One of Knu'.e Rockne’s stock j
stories was how he was present
ed a nice automobile by admir- j
ers after piloting Notre Dame,
to a fine season, and how they
wanted to take it away from
him the next year when the >
Irish fortunes slumped.
And Rockne’s name always
at, or near, the top of any list
of great coaches. The fact he
couldn’t win without the Horses
is proof enough that even the
best coaches is only as good as
his material. pi*
In justice to .the schools., it
must fee admitted that they
often release a coach from a
contract if he has a chance .to
take a joib more financially at
tractive. But it also must be
said that schools often suffer
no sense of guilt in going after
a coaoh under contract to an
other school.
It seems ito be an every-man
for-himself situation, with lit
tle regard for ethics.
The only solution to the
whole business would seem to
be to have each coach ranked
alon|g with other members of
the faculty, with the athletes
under his direction in the same
cateigory as classroom puipils.
If they fail, they would be at
fault, not the professor.
It probably is needless ito add
such a situation never will de
velop. i

Naturally Dad’s going to get the special gift
that he’s been hinting for lately. But this year he s
also going to get a gift that won’t cost ton any
money. In fact, it will return his money with
interest. ’Cause Mom and I are giving him a U. s.
Savings Bond.”
* * *
This young fellow has a mighty good idea—and one
that might help you. Since Dad’s biggest concern
is his family’s security, a Savings Bond is a gilt he »
sure to appreciate.
And a Bond is one gift that grows more valuable as
it gets older. It earns 3% interest, compounded semi
annually, if held to maturity. So by the time tins
gift is i9 years and 8 months old, each $1.00 you
invested will be worth $1.80.
Besides that, a U. S. Savings Bond is one of the
finest and safest investments you can make, becau.
it’s an investment in the future ol America So drop
in at your bank today and purchase a Bond tor
ycur Dad.
