Mrs. | Sweeney was introduced and receiv- ed all honors generally accorded' Past Worthy Matrons, and nsslsted in the various services from time to time as requested by the Most' ‘Worthy Matron. Mrs. Sweeney ex- tended the greetings and best wlsh- es of the Juneau Chapter for me ter. ! Immediately upon arrival of t |officers from Skagway and Mi | Sweeney from Juneau, they ' were all guests at a buffet supper at the home, of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Burt. At/ 8 o'clock that evéning instituting services were conducted by Mrs. Lander, assisted by several members of the Skagway Chapter. Charter Members Charter members of the new chap- {A. Enid and C. A.

The official name of the Chapter will be Whitehorse Chapter, and after six months existence un- der a dispensation, they will re- ceive their charter and will be named Whitehorse Chapter No. 2, being the second in the Yukon Territory.

Another item of interest was the fact that an American Chapter in- stituted a Canadian chapter, and while this is unusual, it will be recorded in the history of the new chapter as an example of the close ties and friendliness existing between |the two countries. The members of the Whitehorse Chapter have long wanted to or-| ganize a Chapter and have worked | hard towards completion of plans| which would bring this about. Their enthusiasm is a good indication of the success which the Chapter will enjoy, and inspired by the beauti- ful teachings of the Order as ex- plained by Mrs. Lander, the Chap= ter should soon pass from infancy! to full growth and usefulness in the community life of Whitehorse. Mrs. Lander will pass through Juneau early Tuesday morning en (route to Seattle, and has promised to ?return to see more of the great !northland. Alaska and the Yukon | Territory have made a deep im- pression on Mrs. Lander, and need- less to say, Mrs. Lander will be long 'remembered by every person with whom she had even the clightest contact. (CANNERY TENDER NEARLY SUNK IN Answering a dGisiress call from a | cannery tender here Saturday night, | |a U. 8. Coast Guard cutter with {two Coast Guard vessels assigned , to the Juneau unit, went to the relief of the tender Mercury, owned by the Astoria and Puget Sound Can- /i ning Company. The Mercury, Master Ralph Rob- ertson, was enroute south from Ex- cursion Inlet to Seattle via Juneau |and Ketchikan, with eleven aboard including the six crew members, when she struck a submerged ob- ject, thought to have been a “dead- head,” just south of Sheep Creek ! Light in Gastineau Channel. | When the relief vessels arrived, the Mercury was in a sinking con- dition, her cabins and engine room completely flooded. The Coast Guard vessels put alongside the stricken craft and with their pumps managed to gain sufficient head- way on the inflowing sea waters so the Mercury could be towed to a float just below the Alaska Juneau Irock dump, where she was beached at the next high tide. Sunday morning at low tide emer- gency repairs were made to the Mer- cury’s hull. Refloated, the tender was towed into Juneau harbor, where she was moored at the Juneau Lumber Mills dock to await repairs on the grid at the Upper City Float. Damage was estimated by the Mercury’s captain at $5,000, mostly to personal articles and engines. The accident occurred at about 11:30 o'clock Saturday night. AR50 53 - BN B. & P. W.

In a statement to the Associated Press, Dr. Maurice Rosenthal, | Phoenix pathologist, and Dr. Frank Edel, who attended the babies, said that il possible the organs of the twins will be examined “to pre- | serve the anatomical relationships of the congential malformation.” The statement pointed out that jautopsies usually are performed to determine cause of death and the organs dissected. | “However, in this case we are particularly interested in the con- gential anotomical malformation. The bodies will be kept here for future studies.” | The twins died 14 days after their birth in the mud-thatched cottage of their parents, Rita and Jesus Miranda, at nearby Cold- water.
