White seals, hitherto believed to exist only in legends of fish- ermen and scalers, have been found in the volcanic crags of Guadalupe, 220 miles south of here. This is reported by Capt. Al- lan Hancock of the yacht Voloro II, who has arrived after a cruise to the island in scarch of scientific data on fur scals. Capt. Hancock saw 10 large white scals from the yacht on the rocks of the outer islet, a small extinct volcano crater lying south of the main island. Landing on the islet was im- possible. The seals were of a spotty color. ARMY CONGRESS, OF 8. E. ALASKA "GBNVENE*_S HERE Five-Day Session Will Be !

There will be some 200 delegates lin attendance from all over the | Division, Capt. Lesher said. “We |will appreciate the co-operation of ithe Chamber of Commerce and individual business men.” Visitors Make Talks C. S. Harley, Seattle business man and big game hunter, and Thomas Gaffney, Democratic nomi- nee for Territorial auditor, made| interesting talks, and R. C. Mize| outlined some of the objectives of the Parent-Teacher Association. This, he said, is an organization yfor the promotion of the education and welfare of all students, and its policies are definitely directed toward that end. The Juneau As- sociation has lately become affili- ated with similar organizations throughout the Territory and with ‘them is a member of the National Association. He quoted at some length from the handbook of the National body, stressing the importance of local units which, it was said, are the backbone of the central organiza- tion. They assist schools by bring- ing to them the co-operation of both individual homes and entire| communities. Two objects being considered by | the Juneau organization are en-)| largement of playground facilities and playground supervision, and parent education. The need for| more adequate playgrounds is gen- erally recognized and the Parent- Teacher Association hopes to be able to obtain them. The advi ability of having playground supe: vision was suggested, and the em- ployment of a teacher on all-year | basis is being considered. The National Association, Mr. Mize said, Is stressing parent edu- cation as a need for intelligent co- operation with school authorities. It has prepared several books deal- ing with, this matter. The Juneau organization is suggesting that par- ents, interested in any particular subject covered by them, purchase books dealing with them, and, after they have read them, deposit them with the Public Library so they will be available for others.
