Lions will be hosts to 16 ch dren from the Lyle Johnson Chil- dren’s Home December 20, at their annual party for the youngsters. More toys and clothes to be re- conditioned by the Mariner Scouts for Christmas gifts were brought in by Lions members A suggestion that Lions lend a hand to the Salvation Army in their Christmas drive brought 12 volun- teers to don the blue hat and ring the bells on Juneau streets during Christmas week. Frank Hermann made a motion that the Lions Club sponsor a con-, gert planned for January for the purpose of raising funds to purchase a community piano. Lions ayed the suggestion. Art Hedges, taking over the tail- twisting job in the absence of Ed Chester, was hard at work keeping Lion members digging down deep for their loose change. In commemoration of Pearl Har- bor Day tomorrow, Col. Joseph Al- exander, newly initiated Lion mem- ber, spoke briefly on the United States’ responsibility in mai good neighbor policies in the Guests of Lions included Sexton Johansen Army, Tom and Col.
