LET AK \ RIDE WHAT'S What men What's these have have heard the road Conservation so much about been winter and what they doing These are natural questions along the roadside and gradually begin to disappear, so let's take a ride with the Forest Service what we can find out. Let's start out about 9 o'clock of an overcast April morning that clears up as we roll along the Glacier Highway, giving way to a bright sun which floods the green-clad hills and reflects on the calm waters of Lynn Canal. Most of us going out for & drive just stay along days? ps during doing out Civillan we the these doing now? as spring traces of winter bloom appears and see the main highway, but let's climb in for this trip with W. J. McDonald of the Forest Service, who has charge of CCC activity in the Glacier Highway area and then we won't miss anything. President Charles W. Carter of the Chamber of Commerce and President C. D. Beale of the Rotary Club are curious, they get aboard with us. We are raising the Signal Corps tuning station on the port b to speak, when Guide McDonald swings the big, green car to the right and we are off on a side road leading to the thirty the city of Juneau has obtained for a cemetery. the first. closeup we get of what public been spent for a the Highw: H about four and brush have been cleared on a hillside which makes an ideal spot It could be put in use tomorrow but it will if left lying too, so W, S odd acres It is funds have acres of timber sloping for a cemetery need further drainage to prevent erosion idle without care, our guide tells Back down this spur road a little before we get back to the main highw but distance. to see wt in the green building on the r It proves to be the station the Biological Survey and Alaska Game Commission have estaplished to prepare scent which is sent around the Térritory to frappers and hunters as bait for taking wolves and coyotes. A supply of this Scent-bait valued at several thousand dollars already has been dispatched from this little station in the war against the predatol Before swinging back into the main highway we find that a portion of this spur road to the cemstery es over private property. Running the spur t to the main highway, a matter of a couple hundred feet would solve this problem. It stion for projects to be considered if relief work J\l!'(l\ are made available, We are hardly back on the highway when we turn off to the right again for a few minutes into the Forest Service wood lot. The CCC has built a pass- able road into this timber and made it possible to haul the wood out easily. Get a permit, cut it your- self and haul it away, and no charge, is the policy We were told that a'good many persons took advan- of is a tage of the opportunity to supply themselves with free fuel this past winter. Next stop Lena Point. We run up the Lena beach road a way, see some very attractive country places, circle back and roll around to the Lena Cove on the far side of the Point. Ultimately, the road is going to circle the Point, opening up another large waterfront section for summer homes and homesites. Considerable work already has been done on it and a Native CCC crew is at work on it now, At Lena Cove is the picnic grounds, and a beautiful spot it is. Incidentally, the beach is coming in handy during road construction work as a natural gravel pit, The trucks haul the gravel out and the tide washes a new | supply back. It saves a long haul from the glmo] bunker over near Mendenhall Rifle range. A brief stop at the Shrine of St. Terese where | the local Catholjec Church is working on the buildings | and the CCC is constructing a road for public use from | Glacier Highway to the Retreat House. The church has constructed a causeway from the Retreat House to the Shrine itself. We head again out the Highway, not stopping until we turn off on the new road leading to Herbert River. We are able only to go about a half mile when we reach the river where the bridge went cut last winter in the floods. Here we find a COC crew | at work putting in a new bridge. This is the road that leads up toward Windtall Lake, and perhaps some day it may go all the way around and come out on the Montana Creek.road, but it isn't planned immediately. | Now back and out to Eagle River terminal, which | s the end of the road and actually on Herbert River. Flan now is to.change the present foot trail into a horse trail around to where the suspension bridge | used to be before it, too, was washed out last winter. A horse trail bridge will replace the old suspension span this summer, if plans carry through. Herbert River, up to its usual capers, has moved again. It doesn’t push in against the bank there where you used to stop your car any more. Last winter it changed it course and now winds out across the valley, although there is some little water in the old bed. Glacier streams, says our guide, are notorious for doing sort of thing. Like the weather, you can’'t depend on them That is ohe of the reasons the Forest Service always is finding it must «change something. Put a bridge cver a glacier stream this spring and next spring one may find no bridge, or no rivér,pall depending on what happens when the T comes up. -meoficedump e end of the road has l salvaged for other ‘ground s being created there instead. I'sss supervisor A couple of log structures are how under construction. As we are looking tnem over somebody su sts something about food. Guide McDonald says to hop in and we'll just about make the Montana Creek CCC camp when the gong sounds Back the road without delay, swing out to Loop toward the rifle range, then keep to the left, and just as 80 husky young fellows are filing into the mess hall we roil into the camp entrance. What is there about food that attracts man, especi after spending a few hours out in the open? This is what attracted us. Swi teak, fried pota- toes, tomatoes, crear lima beans, pickles, celery m, and bread, the kind like mother used to make before the bakery became popular, real honest-to- goodness home-made bread that melted in your mouth, and all the butter you wanted to put on it. And then ple, lots of coffee and raisin pie—all cooked to a queen’s taste. No longer do we long for a home on the range. Give us a CCC camp at meal time and we'll be perfectly happy. | The eost? Not what you would believe at all McDonald has figures to prove that s per meal per man. camp under the direction t is just twenty-threc Now for a swing 1d n Fromholz, who has been of Camp Foreman Wi handling CCC crews in this area for four years with never a hitch. They work for Fromholz or “go down to the road.” We qucstioned one of the young chaps about how things go along “Oh, we never have any winter when we had seventy trouble,” he said. “Last en here the most that happened was a couple of little arguments which | didn’t amount to anything. Fights? No, those ttle tilts couldn't qualify on any kind of a fight card.” The camp itself, long established, is tamiliar to most of the residents of this community. The four- man portable houses ere snug. clean and heated with oil stoves. The camp has its own light plant and then there are the washing, laundry and shower rooms, a central recreation hall; virtually everything to make camp life comfortable for voung men who live there. Up from camp the road is completed along Mon- Creek about two miles to where McGinnis Creek joins it. Here the road will be dead-ended for the present. Uli§nately it may extend on around to connect with the Herbert River road. The major part of the Montana Creek crew are working on this road now and will have it completed before many moons | It's a tough job with the frost in the the tana have passed. ground, but powder and strong young muscle does the trick Swinging back over to the rifle range, one finds still another considered project. A trail runs up along the Glacier now for some distance, obuilt last year. Now it is planned to complete it around McGinnis Mountain, a distance of about 14 miles, to Herbert Glacier. This should be a great attraction to stop- over tourists as well as a fine recreation point for our local people On the Nugget Creek side of Mendenhall Glacier, work is to be started itamediately, in fact it started changing the course of the Nugget Creek trail to conform with the ever-changing Glacier. Instead of going up over the rocks to the observation yesterday, peint, the ice has moved back so far now that it is possible, and desirable, to construct a trail down arcund -the foot of the rocks and over right into the mouth of the glacial caverns. The tourist as well as the local visitor can walk right up on a nice sand d gravel walk then and find out what makes the blue. Officials advise a st going into the caves, however. No one knows when they’ll decide | to fall in. It is probable that eventually the road will be extended also some 1,500 feet closer to the ice. Mm ier Back in town, we dropped into the CCC station and Forest Service warehouse grounds on Willoughby Avenue. Here is located the shop where Carl Hagerup turns cut those attractive Forest Service signs you| see hanging at various places in the Forest areas| throughout the Territs With a routing machine and a little paint he does a neat job. Any one who workmanship necessary to turn them out wouldn't use them for target practice, and no one else should.

It is worth anyone's time to look them over and use them as opportunity affor Swing, But Not With Old Songs (Cleveland Plain Dealer) Maybe it's the languid feeling that comes with ‘q)lmg but we prefer to believe it is really a display |of the better side of human nature which causes ‘mu\lr lovers to turn thumbs down on the swinging | of favorite old tunes in the modern manner. There is enough \~wmg music written today without making the bars of “Annie Laurie” “Love’s Old Sweget Song,” and scores of other old favorites rattle to the swaying of |a dance band. The public thinks so, too, from the poll conducted ‘b\ Leo Fitzpatrick, manager of Station WJR, De- \unn, who started the controversy by cutting a band loff the air while it was describing musical arcs in | the midst of an old-timer. The nation-wide contest | which fcllowed revealed that “the public is ‘against | the mutilation of well-loved songs, 9 to 1. 1 | Popular bands depend so much on public favor | that the poll should be a warning.
