KAKE CRUMBS

Believe it or not, Kelly Brown
recently shaved his first born
son, who has reached the old
age of one whole month.
After pulling Mr. and Mrs.
Paul Nannauk, newlyweds, out
of bed, the boys and girls put on
an honest to goodness hard
times dance on the platform in
front of the old sawmill. The
frost made dancing excellent
better than the best floor wax.
Pete Hanson that irresistible
leader decided to put up a
Christmas tree. He got some of
the boys to cut it, the band
played, the smaller children
dragged the tree in the front
street, while Pete walked in
front, marching triumphantly to
the hall. It was a wonderful
game for the children and the
tree went up with due cere
monies.
The Christmas holidays went*
with the usual zest, the schools,
churches and organizations
putting on programs of the first
order. The band played, the old
familiar story of the shepherds
read. The homely and intimate
picture of the shepherds and the
sudden, and overwhelming
change to the glorious scene of
^ the angels singing.
After a good deal of suspense-^
Santa Claus arrived bringing
gifts and his immortal person
ality. The reindeer were out
rageously unconventional. He
had a long giraffe’s neck, a
camel’s back, elephantine legs,
and was captivatingly mischie
vous.
He nibbled the Christmas tree,
sniffed people in passing,
scratched himself shamelessly,
and tried to kiss an unwilling
victim. For once old St. Nick
had a rival worth reckoning
with.
The Junior A. N. B. put on a
hard times party that was real
ly crammed full of fun. If you j
hear any of them being sick, jt
will mean they have laughed
far more than is good for them
all in one evening. If other peo
ple anywhere came here to this
party they also might have gone
away sick from laughing.
The council is doing their
work with enthusiasm as are the
Brotherhood and Sisterhood.
The Salvation Army and the
Presbyterian Churches are as
active as ever.
Watch Night services were
held in the Presbyterian Church
and Salvation Army Barracks.
When the clock struck 1, the
Army Band came out and played
on the streets. Some fireworks,
some noise and racket then the
crowds returned to the churches
where real muk-muk was served
* A big masquerade was given
by the A. N. B. in their hall New
Year’s evening. Mrs. Etta Albert
won the grand prize; Best Mar

Skeek; Best Male Comic, Eu
gene Dugaqua; best female
comic, Mrs. Katherine Osborne;
best character, Joe Kahklen and
Ernest Williams; best poor man,

Rufina Moran.
On the 2nd the Junior A. N. B.
gave an entertainment which
was very good. The boys show
good spirit and we are proud of
them.
Most of the men folks are out
of town on the path of Mr.
Mink. The war on these varmin
will be over and peace declared
on the 15th of this month.
Mrs. Johnny Kucheeh Is very
ill and there is little hope for her
recovery. She has relatives in
Ketchikan.
Frank Gordon and Ernest
“Spaggetti” Williams, well
known proprietors of the “Crows’
Nest,’’ have been spending their
vacation here with relatives.
They returned on the mailboat

work in Petersburg Hi.

ple are hoping for a little “hop ’
between games. Here’s hoping.

METLAKATLA
-x
“I called for a speech about
the athletic club, but we seem
to have heard a speech about
the fish club,” said Rev. Edward
Marsden in Metlakatla recently
after Herbert Murchison had
come to the stage of the new
town hail in response to a call
from the chairman.
Mr. Murchison devoted his
talk to the fisheries, pointing out
that in his belief Ketchikan or
ganizations should lend support
to the movement designed to
bring relief to the Indian fisher
men of Alaska. He said that he
believed closer co-operation
would solve the difficulties.
“William L. Paul, former Ket
chikan attorney, now living in
Seattle, also was called upon
and he spoke briefly on the same
subject, Mr. Murchison and Mr.
Paul were the only two speakers
to bring up the subject of fish
eries or to hint at any political
turn the ceremonies might take.
The former was called upon as
head of the Metlakatla athletic
association, for which the town
hall was largely designed. “Now
that you have this building, you
cannot go to your residences
and eat it,” exclaimed Mr. Paul,
you still must earn your bread
and butter.” The problem of
earning bread and butter is a
more vital problem to the ma
jority of Alaska’s citizens than
construction of fine community
buildings.
WRANGELL
Election of officers recently
seated for 1932—Herbert Brad
ley, re-elected, president; Henry
Willard, vice president; Walter
Shadesty, secretary; Thomas
Ukass, treasurer; James Adams,
ve-elected sargeant - at- arms;
David Starr, first assistant:
council—Frank Desmond, James
Bradley and Chester Worthing
ton—re-elected.
The re-building of the hall is
moving right along. After re
I timing from Point Ward with a
load of lumber which was pur
chased at bargain prices, the
boys commenced tearing down
the old building and under di
rection of William Tamaree, will
re-construct the building to a.
size 110 feet by 44. It will be a
nifty hall when it is done and
no doubt Wrangell will invite a
convention here before too
many years go by.
Miss Rachel Bradley, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. James Bradley
and Livingston Desmond were
united in marriage by Rev.
Russel F. Pederson, in the Pres
byterian Manse. Following the
ceremony a large group of
fri ?n 1' gf- there cl in Hi' h m * of
Mr and Mrs. William Tamaree

ner with the happy couple.
Many happy wishes!

sented by Mrs. Fletcher and the
several teachers.
