The hall was decorated {in traditional green and white, with shamrecks and other Irish symbols walls. A special feature was the regular Irish jig by the M and Galdys Naghel and Miss Elizabeth Pullen. ) 1 MARCH 18 Kara Lee Foster Mrs. John Young Albert Shaw Mrs. Eni Allen | Ryder Converse Olaf C.

Patrick’s Day was celebrated yesterday afternoon with a charm- ling card party given by the American Legion Auxiliary, with 11 tables in play; and by the Douglas Island Woman's Club with a social hour featuring Irish songs and stories, after the regular business meeting at |the home of Mrs. Charles Sey.

The Times also claims the purpose behind the tax is to ease the taxes on the canned salmon industry, other evidence that the bill has not been studied. In the first place, the tax is not a “sales tax” as such a levy is generally known. The tax is levied upon the wholesaler, and the retailer. For the privilege of exporting $50,000,000 worth of canned salmon from Alaska the canned salmon in- dustry will pay $250,000, which cannot be passed along ; to the Alaskan consumer.
