Armistice Day Holiday The matter of observing Novem- | pber 12 as a holiday by Juneau business houses was one of the topics of discussion. Some years ago the business houses voluntarily signed & petition circulated by the local Post to observe a holiday on the day following Armistice day when it falls on a Sunday, which was filed with the Oity Council by Post Officers. Post Commander McKanna appointed a committee to canvass the business houses on the matter of closing on Monday, November 12.- C. H.

H. Pomeroy arrived on the Yukon this morning. Pomeroy is president of the J. H. Pomergy Company, Inc, of San Francisco, one of the leading con- tracting organizations on the Pa-| cific Coast. | He expects to' remain in Juneaud} |'from 15 to 20 days on this trip. He was' here on another visit early in August. While here he plans to di- rect the first structural work, not yet begun. Although both the Yukon and the Alaska, on her last northbound stop, left good loads of steel gird- ers for the bridge, Pomeroy said |today that not even one-fourth of the total amount has arrived. Pomeroy announced that his company’s bid was the lowest one received for the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington. The Pomeroy bid was $258,078; the only other bid received was $266,63¢ by e Pa-j cific Coast Steel Company of Se-l attle. Pomeroy said that he expect- ed to be officially awarded the| contract upon his return to the States. His company built the Longview Portland. It is the longest canti- lever span in the United States. Pomeroy's organization also is con- cerned with the building of the huge Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco. Pomeroy is staying at the Gasti- evening, November 10 and efforts | will be made to carry out the tra-| dition of making it one of the gay- est and largest dances of the win- | ter season. | Meetings Changed | It was voted that meeting days be changed to the first and third | Mondays in each month, to begin promptly at 7:30 o'clock in the evening. This change was made so that ordinary Jbusiness of the Post can be completed by 9 o'clock en- abling those who wish, to pur- chase other activities following the meetings. Next Monday, the Dugout will be redecorated for the winter season by Legion and Auxiliary members. Those who can do so, are requested to turn out for this purpose on November 12 and all materials and | tools will be on hand. Two membership teams, one from | members of the Forty and Eight and one from the Legion, were ap- pointed for the purpose of securing renewals and new members for the local post. Each team is made up of eight members. This contest, which promises to be spirited, com- mences immediately and will end on ,the evening of December 3, when the losing team will buy din- ner with all the trimmings for the winners. H Show Committee Another committee appointed last evening, will look into the feasi- bility of putting on a local talent show in the near future, and wili report on it at the next session.
