New reports | from the recent meeting of the Philadelphia Heart | Association indicate that heart examinations might | be applied equally well to young people about to ' start out on a career in life. “There is no reason why, in the very near future, ;physidans will not be able to suggest the best | career for an individual by an examination of his | heart,” declared Dr. William S.

TROY AND OTHER GUEST Bridge Over Channel —Splendid Meeting (Continued from age Ome) He paid a fine tribute to the civie spirits of Douglas as evidenced in the meeting and many other ways, Credit to LeFevre Judge H. B. LeFevre, Chairman of the Joint Bridge Committee, was toasted by L. W. Kilburn, mem- ber from Douglas, as one whose work had much to do with the successful culmination of the un- dertaking. Judge LeFevre modest- ly disclaimed any particular share above that of any of his colleagues and added that without Gov. ‘Troy “we certainly would not have got this bridge.” He also praised Sec- retary Griffin for the fine co-op- eration he had given at all times. ! Felix Gray, pioneer of Douglas, related some of the early work done in connection with the pro- ject. He quoted from an approp- Erxauon measure introduced in Con- |8Tess in 1914 by then Delegate James Wickersham which ecarried an item to cover its cost. That, he said, was the first actual work {done. The construction of the bridge, he added, is the most im- portant and promising event since Douglas was incorporated 43 years ago. Mr. Gray also commended James J. Connors, Collector of Cus- | toms, former Mayor of Juneau and former President of the Chamber of Commerce, for his active €0-0p~ eration. Mr. Connors was unable to be present last night, Letter From Dimond One of the most enthusiastic toasts offered was given by Toast- i master Gallwas to Delegate A. J. Dimond who was very active in aiding to bring the project to a successful conclusion. Mr, Dimond, when«he was seeking office and spoke in Douglas, “did not prom- |1se he would build the bridge but {to use his best efforts” Mr. Gall- was recalled, and added that his name would be linked with that of Gov. Troy. He read a letter of greetings and | felicitations from the Delegate who said “it was a matter of grea | gratification to me,” that fundsg | were obtained. He modestly de< }cuned to claim any undue share {of credit saying success was due |to the fine support he had and | “the merits of the project, princi= i pally the latter.” | Miss Lucille Fox praised the parf {Played by H. L. Paulkner, long- time active member of the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce, one { of its directors several times, whosa | efforts she declared “have been out- standing.” Mr. Faulkner was also unable to be present. Smith Toasts Griffin Secretary Griffin was introduced by Guy L. Smith as one “who ‘has shown a very definite interest in the welfare of Douglas.” He de- scribed the manner in which Mr, Griffin had worked for the bridge and his approval of Civil Works projects to relieve unemployment {in the city last winter during the absence of Gov. Troy in Washing- | ton., “The citizens of Juneau can feel] mighty proud of electing a man of |his caliber,” declared Mayor A. E. Goetz, of Douglas, in presenting Mayor Goldstein of this city.

E. Pegues. Douglas res dents, he added, regard it as much a Douglas institution as of Ju- neau. Mr. Pegues briefly expressed for the paper and himself gratifica- tion at the friendship exhibited and said the policies praised had been established and maintained for many years by John W. Troy, as editor and owner, before he was appointed Governor. He gave some inside history on the actual grant- ing of the bridge allotment by the Public Works Administration. Remember Former Mayor Douglas did not forget the vig- orous campaign waged years ago by then Mayor “Mike” O'Connor, who, hearing that there was some strong opposition to the bridge in Juneau, came here and gave a banquet at his own expense to which he invited the opponents. At that meeting he pledged them to support it. “Now that we have got our bridge, I'll bet he's already plan- ning to start a movement for a second and larger one,” declared Ed. Andrews, in introducing Henry Roden, who retorted he was motre ‘progrcssive than that, and that he | had already conversed with the Alaska Juneau management about a tunnel beneath the Channel. The great achlevement of the bridge, he added, is that it will per- mit a closer contact between the two communities bringing about a better understanding of one anoth- er's aims and problems. It is that contact that prevents misunder- standings, local, national and in- ternational, he declared. Taylor Is Complimented Ike P. Taylor, Chief Engineer of the Alaska Road Commission, was complimented for his services not only in connection with the bridge Mrs. Rose Davis. As Mr. Taylor is absent from Juneau, Mrs. Davis presented his chief aide, Hawley Sterling, to pinch hit for him. “The bridge is going to be built with the money appropriated,” Mr. Sterling responded, giving credit for that to O. H. Stratten, engi- neer and designer. In its build- ing will go two miles of piling, 2,- 000 cubic yards of cement, 35000 yards of fill, 100 tons of steel rein- forcing and 805 tons of structural gteel. “When I was first shown Blans for the 'structure by Mr. Stratton, I said then: ‘It's a lot of bidge for the money’” he added. Mr. Stratton was introduced by E. E. Engstrom, who listed some of his achievements before coming here. He said it had been his pur- not only to build a good ridge, but one “that will fit the Scenery.” Later he said: “When I shall have completed it and gone, the only thing T ask is that you Temember that one year of my life Work is in the bridge.” Will Build Road _Mr. Williams, responding to an introduction by Glen Kirkham, hu- morously declared he never ‘‘came to Douglas but that he had some- thing handed him.” He added that the present road north out of Douglas will have to be rebuilt, widened, straightened and resur- faced. ¢ Estimates for the work show it Il cost between $100,000 and $185,000, and it is planned to do work during the coming fis- year if funds are made avail- This will give Douglas a hway of the same standard as he Thane section of Glacier High- Way. “It will be as good if not bet- ter than any in the Territory, and 1 suppose if I don't finish it be- fore the Alaska Road Commission does the bridge, I'm going to have to leave the Territory.” Excellent Dinner Served Manager Pusich served a splen- did dinner to 200 people of Ju- neau and Douglas. The menu in- cluded: anchovies with Swiss crack- ers, combination salad, turkey with dressing, small sweet peas, pota- toes, mince pie and coffee. The big storeroom was profuse- ly decorated with small American flags and bunting and streamers were draped from the walls and ceiling. The tables were decorated with many vases of native wild flowers. High school girls of the com- munity made charming and effi- cient waitresses. ———— COMPLETE PROTECTION AGAINST DRAUGHT, RAIN, SNOW OR DUST Chamberlin W eather Strip Phone 123 F. A.
