SILVER BALL SATURDAY AT BARANOF Jitney Dance to Wind Up Drive for Cruiser Silver Service Heralded in downtown streets by one of Juneau’s bright red fire trucks, the “Silver Ball” which will see local people dancing tomorrow night in the Baranof Hotel's Gold Room, will be the final act in the “Silver Week” drive of the past week to raise funds for purchase of a silver service for the new cruiser, U. S. S. Juneau, to be launched in October from New Jersey navy yards. The dance Saturday promises to be one of the bright spots of Ju- neau's summer social season, ac- cording to plans of Fire Chief V. W. Mulvihill, whose volunteer fire com- pany is sponsoring the affair. The ball will be a jitney dance of an in- formal nature, Mulvihill said, and enthusiasm of the event which has already been expressed by towns- | people indicate it will be well at- tended. After a slow start, donations for the new cruiser’s silverware picked up yesterday under impetus of a Boy Scout ticket selling drive, it was reported, but the purse is still far short of the approximately $900 needed. - HERE FROM OKLAHOMA Eugene Whittington of Oklahoma City arrived here from Petersburg this mornii with Pilot Tony Schwamm.

C., Aug. 8—| Representative Andrew J. May, of Kentucky, chairman of the House Military Affairs Committee, pleaded today for approval of the proposed 18-month extension of compulsory military training as necessary to the defense program. Representative Dewey Short, of Missouri, contended in reply that the service extension would “ser- jously undermine” army morale. They joined 1 a House debate which included the appeal of Rep- resentative E. E. Cox, of Georgia, for the extension bill “because war unescapable.” The enate has already approved the 18-month extension measure by a vote of 45 to 30, providing $10 per month more pay for service of un- ifermed men beyond one year. This will increase present base pay of a private to $40 a month after his vear of service. e e———— — OTARY GOVE 5 DUE HERE T Juneau Rotarians will be out en masse tonight ‘to welcome Dick Dowery, Governor of the service clubs in Rotary District 101, who will arrive by plane this afternoon from Sitka.

Because of failure of their equip- ment to arrive on the Yukon, the American Geographical Society gla- cier study expedition, headed by W. O. Fields, Jr., has been de- tained in departure for Glacier Bay, it was learned today. Meantime, the Fields party is studying Taku, Norris and Twin glaciers.

Give this subject some though, will you?” The idea brings up former plans to give momentum and added at- sible for several teams of younger nel, and Gray thinks it is quite pos- | tendance to baseball on the Chan- player to bolster the league and en- | courage material for future years. “It’s too late this year, of course,” said the League President, “but we’ll | try to work it out next season.” Couple Married al Quief Ceremony 'At a quiet ceremony at 8 o'clock in. the evening of July 28, Miss Hazel Stegman became the bride of Leon C.
