The question will be talked over again next week Frank Garnick U d that a city band be formed here again to play at community functiens President Charles Beale suggest- ed weekly band concerts and the band could probably play the local National Guard Company's marches. “In these times” Beale said, “there's wothing we need any more than some good martial music to stir up ouf patriotism.” Tom Gardner sugested that the school band be supported by the community instead of a new band oranized. Anthony E. Karnes said a community band would be more useful because it could play in the summer months when school is not in gession. The Juneau High School Band made its annual “surprise serenade” of the Chamber today.

WHITTIER | ALASKA POTATO TRIUMPHS TODAY IN TASEE TEST ‘Local Spuds Served af Ju-: neau Chamber of Com- | merce Luncheon The proof oi the potato—like of the pudding—is in the eating: and today members of the Juneau | Chamber of Commerce put 50 Al- iska potatoes to the proof. Tc bring -a raging controversy of many weeks to a decision, cham- | picns of the Alaska potato against| all the spuds of the world dug up the test potatoes in the garden of C. C. Carnegie and brought them to the Baranof Hotel for baking and | served at the weekly Chamber lunch- won. 2 Verdict: The Alaska potatoes are very good indeed. Cook Rapidly J. P. Anderson thought his potato was slightly overcooked. Alaska po- atces, he said, whether baked or, s0iled, cook more rapidly than OQui- side potatoes. Anderson spoke of| his experience as a horticulturist 1t Sitka 25 years ago when a num- | ser of potatoe tests were made. Ox_:ei jariety yielded 800 bushels to the acre at that time, he found. If all; 1ad grown as well as the best hill, he yield would have been 1440 sushels to.the acre. As the season wdvances the quality of Alaska po-' atoes improves, Anderson said.® | “With proper varieties, properly ertilized, there is no reason why Alaska shouldn't grow practically Ul the potatoss it needs for its own; 1s¢,” Anderson declared. 1 Dry Storage | Tom Gardner said dry storage was the answer to the Alaska pomto sroblem. If Alaska potatoes are| ricked and put in a damp cellar, he | aid, they “turn to sugar”’ and are »oor eating. If they are cured for | 30 or 40 days in a dry room, they wre as good as any potatoes in the vorld, he said. Frank Garnick, who has taken he other side of the petato argu- nent, wanted affidavits that the | notatoes served today were really wown in Alaska. They were very j00d, he admited. | PENGUIN THROUGH WITH BIG LOAD FOR PRIBILOF ISLANDS Loaded down with supplies and| LAUNDRY TRIOS “ HAVE PIN FIGHT QUESTION ABOUT Committee Pleased AT BRUNSWICK Alaska Laundry whipped the| Juneau Laundry pin trio last night, alleys while the Druggists downed the Juneau Florists 3% and with gne game a tie.
