A. P. Kashe- varoff, authority on Alaskan life, speak at the first open meeting of the Fine Arts Department of the Juneau Women’s Club, at the Ter- ritorial Museum last evening. Choosing for his subject the art and folklore of the Alaskan In- dian, Rev. Kashevaroff, drawing on his vast store of knowledge, gave a most interesting lecture to this study group of the women's or- ganization. Starting with the play- ing of an old Indian folk song he had recorded himself, the curator of the museum explained and il- lustrated 4 great many facts about such little known subjects as why various symbols were used in the making of the totem poles. From the music and totem pdles his lecture included such interesting subjects as Indian basketwork, carving, and ornamental dress. He explained the significance and the meaning of the different patterns. Rev. Kashevaroff pointed out that the Indian art was rapidiy deteriorating due to the influence of civilization. In an effort to pro- duce their wares for the com- mercial market the Indians have ets of their peoplé’s art.

It is estimated ' that' 4,000,000 homes in the United States are in need of repair. “If we can’ start mepairs on a sizeable number of thése homes, we ‘certainly will be taking people off the relief rolls,” Pegues said. “That is our first aim. “Secondly, and closely allied with that first item, is the fact that if we can ‘put those” men back to work, business certainly will be stimulated. You can't put 40 per cent of the present unemployed at work without aiding many other lines of depressed businesses.” Mortgage Market Reformation of the home mort- gage market, the third point in the FHA program, is an important one, the Alaska Director declared. “There is, at the present time, in the States at least, a large blockade on home mortgages,” Pegues said. “Congress, in approv- ing the FHA work, has insured loans on, home modernization to banks up to 20 per cent of the bank’s loans. This js a much high- er insurance rate than figures show is actually needed, therefore giv- ing the bankers ample protection. This, the Government hopes, will release that mortgage blockade.” Money is to be loaned on .a five per cent discount - basis, | Locally, Pegues declared that he looked for at least 50 moderniza- tion projects to start immediately. This, he said, would take at least 200 men off the Juneau unemploy- ed lists. Pegues announced that Harry 1. Lucas has been appointed as Executive Secretary of Title One. Other appointments to be announced later include a dispers- ing agent, an architect and a legal {clerk. After his speech was concluded, Pegues answered many questions |from Chamber members. Douglas Attendance The other feature of today's meeting was the presence of the Executive Board of the Douglas Chamber of Commerce. A. E. | Goetz, Past President of that Chamber, spoke and thanked the Juneau men for their cooperation in obtaining construction of the new Juneau-Douglas bridge.

Phillips, R. E. Robertson, A. E. Karnes and Charles W. Hawkes- | worth. In the business meeting preced- ing the speeches, it was announced that all the member Chambers of the Alaska Territorial Chamber of Commerce had approved the move- ment, originated in Juneau, for’ development of aviation in Alaska. However, all of the member Cham- bers reporting voted 'negatively on the highway patrol resolution, also suggested by the Juneau Chamber.
