NEW BOARD WILL
LAKE CHARGE A1
School Directors Fleeted This .Week I
Will Assume Duties Within
Few Days.
The new members of the Nenana
school board will assume their dut
ies as directors at a meeting of the .
board, which has been called for
tonight at 7 o’clock. Following the i
installation of the new members and
the disposition of unfinished busi-!
ness, the new board will choose offi
cers for the ensuing year, and dis- j
cuss plans for the future conduct
of the Franklin K. Lane school.
A lot of work has been done by \
the present board during the few,
months that the members have held !
office, and parents and the public ,
generally appear well' satisfied with j
the manner in which the work has
been done. The establishment of the
school required much thought and j
careful figuring. Every effort was)
made to give the children of Ne- j
nana a good school at a minimum
cost to the property owners, and the
fact that there have been no com-;
plaints worthy of consideration in-!
dicates that the school management j
has given general satisfaction.
Clerk Carl Schmidt has prepared
a financial statement in which is
shown in detail the amounts of j
money received by the present
board, up to he f’rst of April, and i
the disbursements made by the board I
during the same period. The report
also shows that there is a cash bal
ance on hand of 503.86. The re
port is as follows:
Cash receipts for taxes.$3947.83
Received from Xight school 20.00 !
Received from territory,
quarter ending Nov. 30 715.76 j
School entertainment. 178.50
Total ...$4,862.11
Disbursements
Salary, teacher.$875.00 ,
Salary, janitor. 625.00

Tax collection expense. 363.00 :
Expense school entertain
ment . 78.00
Total .$4,268.25
Balance on hand . $593.86
The collection of the taxes was
accomplished without difficulty, the
majority of the property owners
having contributed willingly to the
support of the school. Of the total
“ levy, all has been paid with the ex
S ception of about $150, a large part
il of which is due from owners of
r- property not now in Nenana.
;e Another quarterly payment is now
due from the territory and should
reach the board before the end of
,e the month.

The ladies in charge of the big
Red Cross Card Party which is to
be held at the Nenana club rooms
next Monday evening, announce that
the arrangements are practically
completed and that the large sale
of tickets assure a first class at
tendance.
The party is being given for the
benefit of the yarn fund, all money
received from the party to go into
a fund for purchase of yarn to be
knitted into articles of clothing for
our soldiers in France.
This is the first party of its kind
that has ever been given in Nenana
and promises to be quite a novelty
in its way. The games which will
be played are bridge, hearts, and
five hundred, three games which
will appeal to the average card
player. Much enthusiasm has been
expressed over the prizes that have
been offered and it is certain that
there will be some careful playing
as the prizes are well worth winning.
A first and second prize for both the
lady and gentleman havi.-g the high
est score in each of the three games,
has been offered by the ladies, mak
ing a total of six prizes.

of the Life of Soldiers At Angel
Island.
The life of a soldier in the service
>f the Stars and Stripes is very
nuch what a man makes it, accord
ng to a letter written by Arthur V.
iteacock, former Tanana river navi
gator, to Theo. Brakke, of the Port
and Art always had a way of
naking the best of things, as he
P rand them, and it would appeal
:hat he is still following that prac

Iler.cock went Outside last fall and
iniisted, since which time he ha;
been stationed at Fort McDowell
tvhere he is doing duty as a plumber
‘Thinking of the happy times wit!
you at the ‘Corner’, I will take thi;
means to forget my ionesomeness foi
the North and the good people ir
it,” writes the homesick sourdough
‘‘Things are not as they used to be
Here there are thousands, when
there is one in the North. Too man\
people. Here on the island all art
strangers. They come and go si
fast, we don't have time to get ac
quainted. I am acquainted with tht
permanent men here, but we art
working among strangers all tht
time.
"The last letter I wrote to you
never dreamed of staying nere thi
long, but here I am. And I will bt
here as long as I want to stay, bu
I am getting the fever to get aeros

Five months in the service and havi
not had a gun in my hand yet. The;

fine and they treat me so well,
stick around. I am fixed up fin'
here in the shop in regard to quar^

don’t have to stand reveille or re

please. Can take in the city whei
we want to—that is, when we hav
the price. This $8 a month doe
not allow many trips.
“They are having a time tryin;
to keep liquor from the soldier;
We don’t have much trouble in ge<
ting what we want. But there i
some awful ‘squirrel juice’ floatin
around. Well, I am on the wagor
so it does not make any different'
with me. I can get along nicel
without it.
“I hear there are a number o
young fellows coming out to enlis
I will see them, as they all com

Was out the other night with Di

session. I saw Pat Meehan the otho

fine. They have the lid on tight fo
the soldiers.”
In closing, Art asked to be ri

Classified In First Division

j All the Nenana registrants who
have been classified by the local
board in the first division are sure
, to be among those present when the
j quota is called for.
The local board will, upon finding
, ! out from headquarters as to the
/amount needed from Nenana, take
the names on the list in the order
, ' that thev read and notify the men
i
at once to appear for examination.
i I If only twenty men are needed, the
first twenty on the Class One list
. | will be notified to appear immedi
ately. These will be examined and
; if they pass will be sent to the
training camp for instruction. If
i the examiner passes Numbers One
; to Nineteen, but Number Twenty
’ fails to pass, Number Twenty-One
^ will then be called to take the place
of Number Twenty, and so on down
the list.
I i In the event of a quota being
: passed upon here and sent to the
training camp, they are not finally
accepted for service until passed
upon by the surgeon at the post.
Those not accepted there will be seni
