BOURNE| Mrs. N. Lester Troast was hostess this afternoon at tea honoring Mrs. F. S. Bourne, mother of Mrs. Thomas Taylor of Juneau. The affair, which assembled a number of guests, was held at the Troast residence, A routine “conference” with his Alaska agent, H. L. Faulkner, today brought Archie Shiels, President of the Pacific Alaska Fisheries, to the . Territory he left in 1914. This is the first visit to the North of Mr. Shiels since March. He is accompanied by his wife and they are registered at the Hotel following presentation of the Cen- tral Labor Council views by Chris Hennings. Hixson, who was asked to clarify his report by Mayor Thomas Jud- pon, asserted that the principal cause of radio static was the un- grounded transmitting system used by the local utility company. He wsserted that to ground the system would be an expensive process but that it could be accomplished with- out great trouble if a long-time program would be adopted. The radio inspector also request- ed that “attention be given to in- terference caused by high power lines running through town. This is more troublesome during wet weather and is caused by leakage from the small type insulators,” he said. Hixson asked permission to work with the building inspector in ex- amining all electrical equipment be- fore installation in order to find potential trouble. This was agreed to by Councilmen and the building inspector. After Central Labor Council Pres- ident Hennings told the Council his organization wanted “Silver Night” aholished,” City Attorney Frank Foster explained that recently he had consulted with theatre owners and had told them to throw out all names that were not known locally This has been done by a responsible local committee, the city attorney said. Most members of the City Council said that “since Juneau people like to gamble anyway,” they couldn't see that “Silver Nights” were any worse than ordinary poker playing -— — — HIn————— AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY DANCE TONIGHT Rands’ Orchestra ELKS’ HALL Admission $1.00 AT Mrs. Mary Courtot, of Providence, dy, lapping a welcome bowl of ost overboard from the Courtot’s ¢ be courageously swam for 15 hours to land at a yacht club near his home.

Ryan, Pacific Alaska Airways head, in the capac- ity of technical advisor on a flight over the PAA routes in Alaska, W. A. del Valle arrived in Juneau from Hollywood, California, aboard the steamer Aleutian. He registered last , night at the Gastineau Hotel and was to leave this afternon aboard the Interior bound Electra with Mr. | Wyman and Joe Crosson. Mr. del Valle is one of two Pan American Airways production tech- nicians on the Pacific coast. He has the southern jurisdiction, cen- tered about the Douglas and Lock- heed plane plants near Los Ange- les, while another technician is sta- tioned at Seattle at the Boeing factory. His Alaskan trip is an interlude in his regular duties, which right| now consist of preparing to take de- livery for Pan American of nine new 21 passenger Douglas land trans- ports from the Douglas factory. He is also checking progress on the huge new 45-passenger land trans- ports being developed by Douglas, the first of which is to be complet- led in December. | Although, so far, Pan American has placed no orders with Douglas |for any of the huge new 45-pas- senger ships, the company is one of those interested in their devel- opment, and will likely add them to its equipment once their success is established. Although he has just arrived in Alaska for the first time, Mr. del Valle so far finds the Territory very interesting and looks forward to his flight over the rest of it. Visits to Fairbanks, Nome, Flat, Anchor- | age and perhaps Bethel are ahead of the PAA officials. ARG S S MISSOURI MAN SAILS Harry B.
