JUNEAU ROTARY CONFERENCE IS (OFFICIALLY OFF Governor Fred Smith and Big Clubs Support Cali- forniain New Maneuver There will be no district confer- ence of Rotary in Junea u next Spring This was the decision reached to- day by the Juneau Club following a canvass taken of various clubs in the district. It was revealed that while most of the clubs favored Juneau for the 1938 conference a large part of the membership planned to attend the Rotary International Conven- tion in San Francisco next summer with the result that not enough Rotarians would come here to guar- antee a successful meeting. Although Juneau had been award- ed the 1938 conference, it was brought out that San Francisco had asked for a transfer to that city in order to meet jointly with the In- ternational. San Francisco is not in this Rotary district but it had the support of the larger Rotary clubs in this district such as Seattle and Portland as well as the encourage- ment of Rotary Governor Smith of Tacoma, who broached the subject of the transfer to the local club. In a pointed letter to Mr. Smith the Juneau Rotarians minced no words in stating that they had been nicely “rooked” by the District Gov- ernor and the big clubs of the dis- trict after being awarded the con- terence. e MISSING “TEACHERS” SOUGHT IN ALASKA ‘Whereabouts of Jackson Scovel and James Mercer, who are report- ed to have left Durham, N, C., for Juneau last June 3 and have not been heard from since, is sought by B.
