So long as there are fish in
the ocean, unemployment wil
not mean idleness to those whc

Mr, Swanson who has been
travelling with Mr. Waggoner
on the boat took charge of the
C. E. meeting before he left us.
The S. J. S. basket ball team
played three games here that
were very interesting. The first
game they played was with the
City Second Team which the
locals lost by a very large score.
Then came out on the -floor the
H. C. T. team which is the talk
of the town. For three quarters
S. J. S. held the lead when the
HCT team took a spurt and the
^ead but the S. J. S. team came
back fighting and took the game
by two baskets The game was
refereed by R. J. Grant and
Charlie Mat jay. The A. N. B.
boys did not like to see S. J. S
clean up on the town s<; they
challanged the winners to a
game for the following ni'ht.
The Hoonah xam was com
posed of former members of the
S. J. r*. and they came or. with
the determination to win. At
the end of the first quarte.* th<
^eore stood f our to n ithing in
favor of the locals; obc end of
the half the score stoo i 9 to 3
still in favcr of the Brotherhood
team. In th^ third quar er, S. J
S. came back with a bang and
when the quarter endec the
score stood 19-18 in fa/or oi
S. J. S. and they held their lead
until the last three minutes of
play when the Brotherhood
feam chalked up three baskets
making the final score L3-19.
The oldest player on the Broth
erhood team was 34 years old
and the youngest almost twenty.
Frank O. Williams, Oscar Os
borne, Eli Sharclan Thomas

After we had all given up hope

Volley ball is a popular sport
at the A. N. B. Hall lately. For
the past week the hall has been
in constant use for our new
sport. Especially for the older
people. It seems rather amusing
‘O see them. Some of them have
never used tennis shoes before,
but now their interest in the
game forces them to buy tennis
shoes. This is a good game be
cause it gives a chance to every
body, it does not require the en
durance that is used in basket
ball.
The S. J. S. basket ball squad
have recently returned from
their tour of Kake, Angoon and
Hoonah.

Mrs. Frank Desmond has left
us after being in our midst for
several years. She died on the
night of February 27th in her
home in the presence of her
immediate family. She was 47
years old and a very loyal pro
duct of the Sheldon Jackson
School and member of the Alas
ka Native Sisterhood.
When the Alaska Native Sis
terhood Grand Camp was insti
tuted, she was elected its first
nresident and she worked faith
fully to build up the organiza
tion.. For about three years she
served as president of the Wran
gell local Camp and her spirit
built up and held together this
camp.
After suffering from the rav
ages of tuberculosis, she passed
away. Her funeral was held in
the Red Men’s Hall Friday after
noon with every Sister and
Brother at the funeral. The A
N. B. band turned out in force
and played the funeral dirge to
the cemetery and many friends
loaded the casket with beautiful
flowers in last loving respect to
our departed sister and other
friends placed their cars at the
disposal of the funeral cortege.
Realizing that death was at
band and yet fearing it not. she
asked her family to have “God j
Will Take Care of You.” and j
“Nearer My God To Thee.” be
sung at the funeral exercises
and “ In That City Four Square”
be sung at the cemetery.
Our Sister is dead in the flesh
but her spirit yet liveth in cur
hearts and our camp.

The Sentinel is cooperating'
with the Drift Inn and Olsen’s j
Billiard Hall in securing labor
employment agency whereby all
local labor may be taken care of
in town without importation of!
foreign labor. The managers of j
the poolhalls will endeavor to
incorporate a card index system
of all labor and notify each per
son as work is secured. Special
effort will be made to provide
for local married men. A request
by the Chamber of Commerce
to the Seattle Chamber indicates
that foreign labor will not be
welcome in view of the limited
labor market in Wrangell. That
while a large sum of money will
be expended by the city, Terri
tory and Federal Goverrment
this spring, it is not more than
enough to take care of local
needs.
The City Council has given its
approval to specifications for
construction of a new school
building and bids will be opened

Walter Dygert has taken a

that it has no roof, no repair
