Advertising in the Sentinel pays. For instance, Ed Grigwire this week received an order from U. G. Parks of Newark, Ohio, for a Wisconsin motor to be delivered to him at Wrangell next Spring. Mr. Parks stated in his letter to Mr. Grigwire that he saw his advertisement in the Sentinel. Mr. Parks is a retired tailor. Two years ago he spent the summer in Wrangell putting in most of his time with Charles Borch on Snake Creek. He liked the North so well that he is coming back next year.

Alvin T. Nelson, M.D., today issued a statement regarding the recent outbreak of respiratory diseases which has reached serious proportions in Wrangell. The doctor’s statement follows: “The condition in Wrangell has involved probably 35 percent of the total population and probably 70 percent of the smaller kiddies, it is serious from the standpoint of public health prophylaxis as well as that of the individual... To the public certain things are important. First, to be aware of the gravity of the situation and second, to be advised as to what to do. The first statement is self-explanatory and because of this part of the treatment is with this in mind. The best way to care for it is (a) with the first symptoms, i.e., muscle aches, pains, ‘sniffles’, headaches, put the patient to bed. (b) Check temperature three times daily —- morning, mid-afternoon and evening. Keep patient in bed for 2 days after temperature is normal and up in the house for one day with normal temperature. ( c ) Force fluids, that is, give a full glass of liquid every hour while awake, for adults and a half a glass for children. This is important for two standpoints, as previously pointed out: Individual and public health welfare.

A French company is digging around this week at Groundhog Basin, Humble Oil Co., cleared out after spending the summer seeking something worthwhile there ( many said it was copper, but Humble wasn’t talking), The French firm has not started a big operation, just some preliminary digs, apparently to see if the Humble experts overlooked anything. Can you imagine what a big mineral strike would mean to Wrangell? Wooosh, new houses, new businesses and new faces.

Each time he directs his skill to a new cutting tool, Christopher A. Cawthorne turns out a blade that is unique, with artistic talent showing through as clearly as it does through any oil painting or bronze sculpture. As do most knife makers, he began by using pieces of metal that were already blade thick, with cast off saw blades as a favorite. Cawthorne doesn’t stop with just making a blade, although some of his knives feature only the tang shaped to a hang grip. In most cases he will also make a handle that feels comfortable to the grip and adds immeasurable beauty to the finished product. Other knives are more utilitarian and are used to field dress a deer or moose. “Form follows function,” Cawthorne says.
