B s JUNEAU GREETS NEW YEAR WITH LOUD WELCOME Boat Whisli:Lead Noise-| makers—Night Watch- es Are Held Backed by the "basso profoundo” of the whistles from vessels anchor- ed in the harbor, Juneau's New Year entrance was a veritable or-| chestral arrangement of noise-mak= | ing devices. Automobile horns mihgled with the clatter of cow- bells, while countless toy whistles| piped their bit in the joyous wel- | come. Adding to the noisy greetings? were several powder blasts at the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Com- pany. The center of the city's New Year's Eve celebration last night if numbers alone are the judge, was the Elks' Auditorium where the annual Elks' Hi-Jinks was held to the tunes of Earl Blinzler and his music. From 11 o'clock on, this dance floor became more and more crowded until, at the magical hour of midnight, there were literally hundreds of persons jammed into the hall. Dancing lasted there until 2 o'clock. But the Elks' Auditorium was not the only spot of merriment. Beer parlors reported a thriving business, while the city's restaurants were open all night and into the smail hecurs of the morning for funsters, many of whom were anticipating a holiday today. Dances at Auk Lake, along the highway and in Dbuglas coupled with special mo- tion picture showings to make the Joy universal. A more somber greeting of the New Year was found at the North- | ern Light Presbyterian Church and at the Bethel Pentecostal Assembly, where “Watch Night” services were held. Church hymns, short ser- mons and pageants were featured. But in the church, or on the dance floor, the greeting, at mid- night last night in Juneau, was the same: “Happy New Year!” - e | ENTERS HOSPITAL Miss Lela Blomeen has entered St. Ann’s Hospital for medical Issues Before Coming Session Of Congress WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. — few of the more important Is- sues facing the Seventy Fourth Congress are: Relief, Public Works, social security, bonus, St. Lawrence Waterway, World Court Adher- ence, taxes, banking and mone- tary proposals, readjustments in NRA and AAA.
