Paul, Sr, President; Mrs. Jonn Fritchman, Corresponding Secre- tary; Mrs. Charles Evitts, Record- ing Secretary; Mrs. H. C. Row- 'and, Treasurer and Mrs. Chester Zenger, Custodian.

The invitation is also particularly extended to newcomers to Juneau, who may be lookingz for some activity ~with which to identify themselves, to make their club home with = the Juneau Woman's Club.

Work was also done on the club calendar for the year. ‘The planning committee will be entertained by Mrs. Hermann at a dessert luncheon on Saturday, j August 6 where further plans for club projects will be considered.

Robertson, agreed | to excuse him. adjournment Before In June, | Clarence Peterson had been ex- ,cused because of long-time busi- | ness commitments for this month. Col. Otto F. Ohlson, who was ap- pointed receiver for the Veterans’ Alaska Cooperative Company in Haines April 6, was the first wit- ness for plaintiff after resumption of the case. He was asked to pro- duce minutes of stockholders’ and | directors’ meetings, which he agreed to have in court this afternoon. | The case, which already has been ‘long and somewhat drawn out with more than 70 documents having been introduced in evidence by plaintiff thus far, was resumed in similar vein.

Turner, tuberculo- sis specialist, who spoke at a din- ner at Mt. Edgecumbe Monday eve- ning. Dr. Turner, who is consul- tant for the Chicago Municipal Tu- kerculosis Sanatorium, is one of six top-ranking specialists chosen by the American Medical Associa- tion to give a refresher course for Alaska Native Service doctors and iment of Health personnel, and ! Army medical officers in Alaska ! The refresher course was also open to private physicians. Dr. Turner said that progress in orthopedics and tuberculos) in | Alaska during the last three years |is nearly equal to the work that has been done in Chicago in the past 20 years. The Mt. Edgecumbe ! Medical Center will celebrate its , third anniversary this month. The | medical installation now has 70 | orthepedic and 135 tuberculosis patients. The new tuberculosis hospital which will have 200 beds, is scheduled to open in January. The AMA team of specialists and six young replacement doctcrs left for Seattle today aboard a U. €. | Air Force C-47. The replacement | doctors served in remote ANS hos- l pitals during the medical confep-| ence at Anchorage while the ANS doctors attended the meeting. The refresher course given by the spec- jalists highlighted the latest tech- niques and developments in the field of internal medicine, surgesy, obstetrics and gynecology, tuber- culosis and opththalmology. The conierence was sponsored by the Alaska Native Service, Department of the Interior, American Medical Association, and U. S. Air Force. Dr. James T. Googe, medical di- rector for the Alaska Native Ser- vice, said today that the medical conference was cf great value to all ANS physicians who attended the course and that it is hoped to make it an annual event. In order to give physicians in private prac- tice in the Territory an opportun- ity to hear American Medical Ass ciation specialists at future conf ences, it is planned to coincide the medical conference with the an- | nual meeting of the Alaska Medical Asscciation. Alaska’s doctor’s are planning to convene their meeting at Mt. McKinley Park in August, 1950.

Rhode today offered to clarify the situation. Rhode is | Alaska ‘director of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “The Wrangell informant who |labeled the Anan Creek pink sal- ymon run the greatest in years,” |he said, “was misinformed, both in | that statement and in reporting that, for years, Anan has had vir- tually no run of pink salmon. “Anan has always been like this _notoriously so,” he added. “It has been a steady producer over a | period of years and is, in fact, the Lest early pink salmon stream in the entire Territory. We just wish| there were at least half a dozen| | others nearly as good. “Even in earlier years,” he went| !nn. “as many as 600,000 fish went) | through that stream. Weir instal- | Il.mcns up to 1932 permitted a fish | , count. | “The Anan run is not represen- tative—not even of the contiguous | area, certainly not of Southeast i Alaska streams. “Moreover,” continued | director, “most persons {to see the run do not go farther |upstream that the falls. This nat-| { ural barrier slows the salmon down, | <0 of course the showing below the falls is dramatic.” Rhode stressed the fact that all available equipment for survey work n that area has been put there his week. The headquarters office lis in daily contact with men sta- !tioned there, as well as with the | | | | the F.W.S. going out | | ! |Wra.nge11 agent, who makes daily i reports. Several flights from here have| been made, in order to obtain first- hand information. “We are delighted with the pre- ! sent usual abundance,” Rhode con- cluded. “Once the Fish and Wildife ervice is certain that fish have seeded the entire drainage, consid- eration will te given to a specinl\[ early opening in this specific in- | | stance.” ! The commercial fisheries season| in that area is scheduled to open sAugust 15. Anan Creek is about 251‘ , miles coutheast of Wrangell. | | ‘ SLOW COURTING WINS BRIDE FOR - CALIFORNIA MAN| FORT SMITH, Ark., Aug.
