WILBUR ARNOLD AND BEN
YOUNG IN “THE VALIANT”
No prison scene is complete
without the chaplain, which part
in the case of “The Valiant” will
be played by Wilbur Arnold. The
chaplain, known in the play as
Father Daly is the guiding hand
behind much of the thought and
action throughout the play. He
is a'.Ie to give much counsel
through his quiet unobtrusive
manner.
Ben Young fits very ably into
the part of The Prisoner of this
play which is to be given next
Thursday, November 16 at 8:00
p.m. at the Federated Church.
James Dyke (Ben Young) is
about to be executed for a crime
which he freely admits he com
mitted, but the problem arises
when he refuses to give his true
identity. Thousands of mothers
wonder if he is their lost son—
will he tell who is he?

Trapper in Bed Sheet
Crawls Close to Wolf
And Shoots Predator
It’s hard to get close enough to
a wolf on a level, treeless ex
panse to kill the animal with any
sort of a firearm but Tex Blair,
itrapper accomplished the feat.
He wrapped himself in bed
sheets and pillow cases so his
figure could not be distinguished
from the snow-covered expanse,
and crawled about a mile on
Blair Lake before getting within
shooting distance of the crea
ture. One bullet, fired at 200
yards served to end the pred
ator’s life.
Sam O. White, wild life agent
with headquarters at Fairbanks
who Tuesday was at Blair Lake
which is 40 miles east of Fair
banks tells of -the incident.
“I stopped at Blair’s trapping
cabin which is on Blair Lake a
couole of hours Tuesday. lie
told me of killing a few days pre
viously a large female wolf.
While Blair was absent from his
cabin during a forenoon, the ani
mal vistied the premises and ate
a part of a caribou carcass each
ed behind :the cabin. After the
feast, the wolf became drowsy
and went to the middle of the
lake which is two miles long and
one and one-half miles wide, to
lie down.
Tex returned to the cabin at
noon. He saw the animal in the
middle of the lake. For an hour
he sat in the cabin watching her
and trying to think of a plan of
getting within gunshot of her.
Most of the time she lay on the
ice, but ocr- nal’y she would
rise to her haunches and setting
on them peer at her surround
ings.
“Finally Blair wrapped himself
in bed sheets and pillow cases
and with his rifie crawled out on
the lake. He patiently wormed
his way to a place within 200
yards of the wolf. At no time
did she see him but when he was
within 200 yards of her she
heard him and came to the alert.
“Many times while he was
slowly era\\ 1. g over the ice, the
i wolf raised her head to test the
i wind for scent of a foe and of
! ten scanrt-: . all parts of the lake
I with her eyes,
“When 1!fired at a range of
200 yard., ihe bullet went neatly
through the animal behind her
shoulders on t slightly diagonal
path.
“Inspection of the creature’s
i craoass showed she had gorged
i herself on the caribou meat."
WAGE-HOUR COUNSEL
WARNS AGAINST
OVERTIM EVASION
Continuing to pay the same sal
ary now paid workers for a 44
j hour week after October 24 will
j be a violation of the Fair Labor
Standards Act, even though the
| employer makes a show of com
' pliance through bookkeeping
! manipulations, General Counsel
j George A. McNulty of the Wage
1 and Hour Division, U. S. Depart
j memt of Labor, warned in a mem
! orandum made public recently.
On October 24 the statutory
; minimum wage for all workers
j engaged in interstate commerce
or in work necessary to the pro
| duetion of goods for interstate
commerce was raised to 30 cents
an hour; and at the same time
the standard work-week, after
which overtime at time and one
I half the regular rate of pay must
I he paid, is reduced to 42 hours
Mr. McNuty’s memorandum
points out the illegality of adopt
ing a book-keeping rate for the
purposes of the overtime pro
visions of the Wage and Hour
Law and a different rate for act
ual payment.
“The Act requires that over
time must be paid at the rate of
time and one-half the ‘regular
iate‘ of pay at which the em
ployee is actually employed and
paid, and not upon a fictitious
rate which the employer adopts
solely for book-keeping purpos
es.’’
These practices are violations |
of section 7 and as such will sub
jaet the employer to the penal-1
ties prescribed in the Act, Mr.
McNulty wrote.
