Alaska’s Finest PAS Alaska’s Finest Supermarket "WINGS TO HAWAII" IS SHOWN TO LIONS : AT MEETING TODAY Lions Club members and guests found it difficult to come down to earth in a workaday world, after the program at today’s luncheon meeting in the Baranof Gold Room. ‘They were still under the spell of the islands, having traveled vi- cariously through a ‘ceautiful color movie, “Wings to Hawaii,” latest release in the famous “Wings” films by Pan American ‘Worlg Airways. Rotarians will take off tomorrow on the same Clipper flight to Honolulu, and enjoy the colorful rhythmic life of the romantic isles in the Pacific through the movie. The film will be taken to Fair- banks Wednesday, but B. Fred Dunn, district PAA traffic man- ager, hopes to have later showings here. Lions voted to go all-out in a drive for $2,000 with which to heat the pool in Evergreen Bowl, hoping to raise enough more so that the pool can be roofed over, too. They decided on a big-time type of radio promotion in three hour- long evening shows next week. Using the legal talent in the club’s membership as an impressive and arbitrary court, calls will made to various numbers taken | from the telephone directory, those answering to be “assessed” for con- tributions, When the subscrizer agrees to the novel summons, the cash regis- ter bell will ring, and fast young messengers will go out immediately to collect. Members of Troop 614 sponsored by the Lions will par- ticipate in this feature. Three of these Boys Scouts were guests of the club today, and in- troduced by the Rev. Walter Soko- leff. They are Sc Frank Pera- trovich, John Vavalis Jones Two new members were given an | ear-shattering Lions’ roar of wel- come lead by Attorney General J Gerald Williams, Alva W. Blackerby made the pre- sentation of pins and name- buttons to Col. Larry Wilcox Before this little ceremony, Rey- nolds Young had been introduced as the newest Lion. Guests included the Rev. Ed Knight and T. B. Erickson, Lions| from Seward; the Rev. Jimmie Bolton, who came from Texas to be pastor of the Juneau Baptist church, and Dick Freer. President George Danner pre- | slded for the short business meet- ' and Miles| (ing; Secretary Bill Matheny read ! |the minutes, and Pete Wood, pro- ram chairman, had arranged for :the movie, which was loaned by B. | Fred Dunn and Pan American, and shown by Eckley K. Guerin. FIVE HUNDRED AT SHRINE PICNIC AS WEATHER GREAT If, in his effort to streamline gov- ernmental agencies, President Tru- man should desire to include a “Di-| rector of the Weather” for this section of Alaska, Juneau has 1 | perfect candidate for the job. “Doc” Merritt, in picking yester- day for the annual Shrine Picnic, with rain before and after, hit upon one of the nicest sunshiny days of the year. This apparently was no |accident, as it marked the sixth consecutive year that Merritt has| heen in charge of the weather for this event—and every time he has produced bright, sunny picnic weather. The picnic was attended by near- ly five hundred guests, who enjoyed: an ample lunch, followed by ice cream and cake with pop and cokes | to queneh their thirst. Everything was successful. The attest fat man won the race, the | ladies nail-driving contest ended ‘vuthu ut a single smashed thumb, | the youngsters splashed in the water along the beach, the umpire was still popular after the ball game and Earl Cleveland gave all the' kids a boat ride on the calm water ,off Auke Beach without running out of gas. The fun really started at the Sherwood dairy farm, where the| herd bull switched from his chore of marking the “Los Angeles City Limits” to the role of a Shriner on parade, decked out in a red lamp- | | shape fez with a rope tassle and a gaudy sash around his generous | middle. | The picnic grounds were decorat-; ed with Shrine banners, food was) served with dispatch, all committees | nounces that new books have been >ca aloged and are ready for rental.
