Only four teachers out of 14 are returning to Wrangell to teach in the school next year. Two are quitting to devote full time to being housewives, one to get married, the others to go back to school or accept other teaching positions. School Superintendent George Fabricius is leaving Wrangell after 25 years. W.L. Angell, former school superintendent at Nome, will replace Fabricius here next year.

Mrs. Larsson was a committee of one before the city council May 11, asking that the municipality allocate $3,000 to pave the playground basketball court. Chuck Oliver, owner of Lost Valley Timber Co., already had organized a group to put in fill to bring the playground – which many times resembles a rain pool – up to grade. The allocation was approved quickly by the council. Red-Samm Mining Co., which was contracted to pave the basketball court, refused any payment, saying the job was donated as a gift to the people of Wrangell. By Friday afternoon, a girl did cartwheels to officially dedicate the new facility.

Sea Level Seafoods hopes to be producing a value-added product by mid-June as soon as its new crab cooking building is complete. In the past, the company has flown out fresh crab, but with the advent of the crab cooking production line, they will not only add jobs to Wrangell but will be less dependent on daily transportation variables to get their product to markets. Trusses were raised on the new structure Monday, with construction anticipated to be complete before the opening of crab season on June 15. The company that will purchase the cooked crab in Seattle will be in town later to install the cooking equipment. Demand for Alaskan crab is expected to be high all summer since Oregon stocks are low.
