From all but a very few places, there’s nothing but praise to be said for the Derby, we're happy to say Tt's too bad that weather conditions have delayed the final outcome both years but most Alaskans don’t ; much. It dces, however, have a bed effect : visitors who do come from all over the and Alaska to fish in the Derby. These sle usually can't stand the expense or the time necessitated by these delays and, as a result, miss the wonderful fun to be gained from taking part in the actual Derby. We can't, however, and for several reasons, recom- mend another time of the year for the Derby to be the Territorial Sportsmen, held. We do hope that Inc., do have better luck next year in their selection of a date. Incidentally, that organization deserves plenty of credit for the job it did. More than any, however, in the Tine of deserving recognition, are the many firms and individuals who donated the 122 prizes.

In what way can one discriminate between the people to whom wedding invitations are to be sent and those to whom announcements are mailed? A.
