Speaking for the negative side of |the questicn were Shirley Ander- | son, Charles Graham and Jay Dex- |ter from Ketchikan; and for the | affirmative, Mary Lou Fagerson, | Lois Hared and Dick Wingerson of ,Juneau. The Rey. Willis R. Bootii | was chairman. | No decision was made by judges in last night's debate, which was done in the “forum style.” This leaves any decision in the question up to the members or the audience individually. Introducing the affirmative, Dick Wingerson suggested that although socialized medicine would cost a great deal, yet no cost is too high to pav for good health. Socialized medicing, said Winger- son, is as American as house rais- ings where neighbors went together to help each other out. If helping each other in difficulties is Social- ism, said he, “Let’s have more of it.” Charles Graham took the stand against the question first for Ketchikan. He painted a picture of “mass production” treatment to substantiate his argument that Am- |erica’s medical care, now the best in the world, would deteriorate under a program ol socialized med- icine.

USCG Cutter Wachusett, sailing from Juneau Friday at 1 p.m. on an emergency call, iound the fishing craft Elinor D, Bob Colette, owner, of Sitka, aground on the mud in a small cove near Outer Point of Douglas Island. Coming from Sitka to Juneau, the skipper had taken his small| boat into the cove for the night. But tHe receding tide stranded him on the mud and buried rocks broke holes in the hull. When the tide rose again, the heavy mud held the craft down while it filled with wa- ter. | The Wachusett arrived on the scene early Friday evening, and sent a man ashor® to look the sit- uation over. Then Comdr. E. V. Carlson took a work party in and the men spent the night repairing the holes in the Elinor D. With the craft floating once more, she was towed to the side of the cutter and pumped dry, and the Wachusett took her in tow for Juneau. The return to town was made at 1 p.m. Saturday. Leaving command of the Wachu- sett temporarily under the Execu- [ "COAL a gale to make the trip from tive Officer, Lt. Comdr. George Playdon, Comdr. E. V. Carlson is taking a 10 day leave with his family in Juneau. Colette wants to thank the Nelson boys of Fritz Cove who loaned him three drums in an effort to raise his craft, to E. A. McDonald of the troller Janie who brought word to Juneau of the accident, and to the Coast Guard for raising the Elinor D., pumping it out and mak- ing it possible to tow the crait to Juneau. Colette has turned his vessel over to the Juneau Machine and Weld- ing Company to put his engine back in condition again.
