AREA ENVISIONED FOR KIWANIS CLUB Kiwanians found it easy, this noon, to envision one of the world’s greatest recreation centers just a few miles from Juneeu, listening to Harry S. Sperling and looking lat his beautiful color slides. With the beauties of Taku River, Glacier and Lodge; of Twin Gla- ciers and Twin Glaciers Lake, and other scenic attractions in natural |color before them, Kiwanians coula project in imagination a tourist attraction second to none. Sperling’s last few pictures were of the 1948 Juneau Ice Cap Ex- pedition—so his audience went from summer vacation to the all- year skiing and allied sports pos- sitle in the Zuneau Ice Field which feeds eight glaciers inte surround- ing areas. The Ice Cap district extends for 80 miles from Taku River to Skagway. Sperling, who is public informa- tion ofticer for the Forest Service, put in a “plug” for Turner Lake. As his luncheon audience saw the spec- tacular sheer cliffs rising from the blue waters, as well as the hand- some rustic lodge and boat haven built by the Forest Service, Ki- wanians could believe it well merited. Sperling urged the Juneau busi- nessmen to give attention and sup- port to existing facilities such as Taku Lodge and Bell Island Hot €prings (near Ketchikan) as well a3 to large-scale plans for the tu- tvre. He poim.ed out the commer- cial advantages to Juneau of sucn a resort as Taku Lodge, operated Ly Mr. and Mrs" Royal O'Reilly, stressing the $10,000 seasonal pay- roll and the $20,000 for supplies and equipment which already has been spent with Juneau firms. Sperling is chairman of the tourist committee of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce. The program for the Juncheon meeting next week at the Baranot will be by the Youth Service Com- mittee of which Dr. John Clements is chairman. Other committec members are Eskley K. Guerin, Burrus, Stanley Baskin and the Rev. John Griffin, Cecil Roley, Kiwanis lientenant- governor from Anchorage, will be a visitor and maks a short talk. He will be in Juneau Tuesday and Wednesday, to attend both luncheon and board meetings. Boys do go through shoes, it be- comes clear at each meeting. Ki- wanians buy shoes for five boys in (their “family,” and Stanley Baskin should be an authority on footwear, 128 he reports purchases regularly. Three youngsters were newly shod th!s week. Program Chairman Gene Vuille reported on plans for the Kiwanis Fourth of July fun zone attrace ticn. As he is to go out of town July 4, Ed Shaffer volunteered to take charge of the kooth. Eckley K. Guerin was named to represent the club, at least tem-| porarily, on the board of directors of the Teen Age Club. He intro- duced , the only guest at today's meeting, Jack Sturtevant. President James 8. McClellan was in the chair. INTERIORS WIN 5-2 OVER CARDINAL CLUB Interiors won their second ball game in two nights last night, de- leating the Cardinal Club by a 5-2 score.in a fast, well-played soft- ball game. ‘Lundwall pitched a good game for the Interiors and teammates gave him good support.
