Junior Chamber of Com- merce, and other officials are plan- ning to come north for observance here, in Anchorage and Fairbanks. Peter Wood is chairman for the event, assisted by Joe Mangan. De- tailed plans are now underway with the receipt of a lett from Robert Richards, National Executive Sec- retary of External Affairs, who said the Club's constitution is acceptatle to the organization.

A prospectus for the development of Juneau which the Junior Cham- ber is going to prepare for submis- sion to the U. S. Congress Appro- priations Committee, James P. Davi Director of the Divisions of Terri-|was arranged for this asternoon at the use of the 2,670 circuit in the tories for the Department of Inte-| rior, Delegate Bartlett and others, | was discussed considerably. | The Junior Chamber is urging dredging of the Mendenhall bar and the small boat harbor and ex- | tension and improvement of the Ju-. neau airport. It plans to compile all significant information availatle | on these subjects to place in proper | government channels. It is hoped the report will point out to the federal government the congestion and fire hazard conditions’at the small boat | harbor, and the need for dredging at Mendenhall Bar. The report also will show the need for building new| runways at the airport. Pilot Dean| ‘Goodwin suggested that a runway starting from the east section to- ward town with another runway crossing it would solve a lot more problems than just a 1,000-foot ex-! tension to the present field, due to the bad cross-winds the field is subjected frequently. Next regular meeting, a program | sessicn, will be held Friday in the| Gold Room. i i "FLYING DOCTORS" TO ARRIVE SUNDAY; WILL TOUR ALASKA “The Flying Doctors,” four out- standing medical specialists of the Northwest, will arrive in Juneau on Sunday to begin their tour of Al- aska.
