He has put his motor racing be- hind him and says his flying plans are those of a serious minded busi- ness man. He is on the board of di- rectors of Air Commerce, Ltd., and General Aircraft, Ltd. A relative of the Whitney family, Straight recently married the beau- pe- | tiful Lady Daphne Finch-Hatton, a ndchild of Anthony Drexel. The ceremony, at fashionable St. Mar- garet’s, Westminster, was one of the leading events of the London sea- son. - SHOP IN JUNEAU!

(Mmim Press Photo) urday Night—Visitors Lose 30 to 22 In an exciling non-ticle hoop bat- le, Douglas high school defeated he visiting Skagway five by a 30 0 22 score here Saturday night. The aggressive Skagway team, which is giving the Juneau High plenty of \*LNL in their Lonlpollllve title games 1 was not fast enough to down the lo- ‘(uls who played an unusually fine e of ball. At no time during the contest were ithe visitors in the lead. The first | half found Douglas leading 17 to 14 |and they increased their margin by | making 11 points in the third quar- |ter, holding their opponents to 4 |points gain. In the final quarter agway made a vain attempt to catch up succeeding only in annex- ing 4 points to Douglas high's 2. | Accustomed to long shots, the | Skagway lads were somewhat handi- |capped by the low ceiling at the natatorium. But the team as a whole is a plucky, faSt bunch capable of |downing any team standing between them and the S. E. Alaska basket- ball title. Gordon Mills, stellar forw. D. H.

NICK KING PASS| i AWAY IN SEATTLE‘ News of the death of Mrs. Nichol- | ceived “here yesterday morning by | Mrs. Sadie Cashen, daughter of the | deceased. No other news contingent | upon her passing was contained in | the wire. One of the real pioneer women of the north, Mrs. King first came to Douglas Island in the late eighties. 8he would have been 79 years of age next July. She was born near Bel- fast, Ireland, and when about 16 |years of age came to California, nnd it was in Amador County of that | {S(Bte that she became the bride of Nicholas King. The latter proceeded his young wife to Alaska by two | years and when he had a home here | ready, she came bringing their three | |children. Two more children were !born here to the couple as one of the older ones was claimed by death. Surviving now are John King and Mrs. Hubert VandenWyer in Seattle, Mrs. Alice Kirby at Seldovia, Mrs. Sadie Cashen of Douglas. Nine years {ago the ploneer couple celebrated |their golden anniversary here and a year later Mr. King passed over the divide.
