Some few skiers among both Juniors and Seniors have been adjudged “too good” to run in the Class ‘B competition, but any skier who thinks he has a chance may enter Class A. Officials for all race events are: Starter, Dr. James Ryan; Timer, Norman Banfield; Recorder, Roy Stewart; Course Steward, Max Lewis. Finish line for all events will be located at the foot of the Jumping Hill, about one-fourth mile up the! Ski Trail from the Douglas High- way. Entrance to the Ski Trail, plainly marked by a large Forest Service sign, is about 300 yards from the Island end of the Juneau- Douglas bridge. A large cleared area at the finish line offers the best point of vantage for spectators. From there, the sharpest turns and most preciptous slopes of the entire course are visible and racers may be seen clearly as they run “the switch- back” and take the final plunge down the “chute” paralleling the Jump landing hill. Spectators on foot are requested by those in charge of the tourna- ment to go no further up the trail than the by unskied feet are pitfalls for rac- ers.

B TWO ALARMS: 1 SMALL FIRE, LITTLE DAMAGE| A slight mix-up in fire-alarm signals this morning caysed a great deal of excitement among fire- conscious Juneauties, but the fire| fortunately was not nearly so great {as the excitement.
