The compilation in the Associated (Press of earnings reports of 314 leading corporations in all major fields showed today a total net profit of $1,003,644,061 in the July- September quarter. That is 4.3 percent higher than the total of $962,102819 reported by the same corporations in the second quarter of this year. It is only 4.1 percent lower than these companies in the thu‘d'quaner of 1948. Corporate earnings slid lower in | the final quarter.of 1048 from their | third quarter peak, and the de- cline continued in the first and se- cond quarters of this year. | | i | I re | in jet black B Behiends Ca QuALItY sinee 188% HEBERT RETURNS FROM FIRST LOOK AT MANUFACTURING Just to list the itinerary of the trip from which Lisle Hebert has returned would take a couple col- umns. It was what might be called a well-tounded trip. Hebert, who is manager of the Hardware Department at Juneau- Young Hardware Company, Inc., has been in the business for 36 years and until the time he took this trip he' had never seen the manufacturing end of the business. So the part of his trip in which he visited the manufacturing plants in New England rated pretty high on his list of “best . spots.” He visited the Winchester Arms Company in New Haven, Conn. “That plant covers 76 acres,” he recalled yesterday. “You'd think it would be completely mechanized. But, you know, those guns we use are still 90 percent hand work. They've got & lot of ex-GI's ‘work- ing there now, but most of the gunsmiths aren’t youngsters. I'd say they averaged about 40 years old.” Hebert also visited the Reming- ton ammunition plant at Bridge- port, Conn., and the Stanley Rule and Level Company which manu-{ factures tools and the B. and F. Corbin Lock Company, both at New He saw the products he sells being made, and he says that he got a kick out of it—“bigger kick than T got out of the World Series.” He said that he attended the World Series with four other people from Juneau: Stan Grummett, f GIRL SCOUT WEEK BEING OBSERVED PRESBYTERY RECOMMENDS SENIOR (OLLEGE STATUS FOR.

Twenty-seven executive secretaries and potential health educators were gathered at Kingston, N.

Notable among these were the Ul- ister County, N. Y. and the Dela- \ware County, Pa., groups, also the New York State Health Depart- ment at Albany. While in Seattle, Mrs. Paul called upon a number |of the Alaska patients at the Riv- erton and Laurel Beach Sanatoria and conferred with the occupa- tional therapists and . counselors, in those institutions. She also had a conference with the Medical Of- ficers of the Alaska Native Service in Washington D. C. medical men and public health of- ficials are aware of the gravity of the tuberculosis problem in Al- aska, although they were shocked to discover that deaths from tub- erculosis in Alaska are ten times that of the average in the states. While in New York Mrs. Paul met Mildred Hermann and theg attended the meetings of the Her- ald-Tribune Forum together. Mrs Hermann also attended the Board meetings of the General Federation of Womens’ Clubs and planned to remain in New York for the Board meetings of the American Cancer Scciety as Commander for Alaska Plans for the Christmas Seal Sale in Alaska have been carried on during Mrs. Paul's absence by Mrs. Joyce Howell of the ATA staff.

They are Dr. Edwin Munk, Con- sul General at New York, and Jan Horvath, housekeeper of the Czech Embassy in the capital. The action was in apparent re- prisal for the recent ousting of two American Attaches from the | Embassy at Prague. However, in announcing the order, the State Department declined to give any explanation except that the two are both “persona non grata.” That means they are personally unacceptable to this government. The Czech Ambassador, Vladimir Outrata, asked for an appointment with Undersecretary of State James E. Webb, presumably as a result of the action.

Stabler's memorable talk on Rotary ideals of service. | Attorney Stabler was the _club's | first President after its founding November 15, 1935. Of the 25 charter members, Stabler, Dr. Wil- liam Whitehead, and J. B. (Jack) Burford are the only present mem- ters of the Juneau club. Stabler emphasized the symtol- ism of the Rotary emblem--the wheel with six spoRes and 24 cogs, and the words “Rotary Interna- tional”—as applied to each indivi-. dual member, in the ideal of serv- ice to others. “Service above. self,” he pointed out, “takes care of the four ob- jects of Rotary: Club service, voca- | tional service, community service and international service.” SOAP BOX DERBY | by identifying his home club as “50 miles from Palmer,” but other guests enjoyed the session unmo- lested. They were Jerry Strang, formerly of Los Angeles, who came here as chief underwriter, for the Alaska F.H.A. office, and Roy Swanson, fomerly of Oklahoma City, now FHA. architect for the same headquarters; Dr. John Gibson and Bob Scott, toth of Juneau. Harold Foss edited this week's copy of the Rotary Windjammer, which was quoted by’ Stabler in his talk. PUGH BOUND OVER William C. Pugh, charged with stabbing Nealy Ashby in Petersburg October 12, has been bound over to await action of the Grand Jury here, according to P. J. Gilmore Jr., United States Attorney. Bail has been set at $1000. MAN IN SILVE NOW IN CLOVFR He cited the annual Soap Box Derby as the best example of the Juneau club’s community Service accomplishments. “If we all practicted Rotary prin-; ciples,” Stabler commented, “We could heal the world, and heal our- selves.” President Bob Akervick gave &v- eral admonishments, on the serious side and in lighter vein, and wel- comed the new members. Guertin is Territorial Commis- sionér of Veterans’ Affairs, and Nagel, is general superintendent of the Alaska Electric Light & Power Company. ROTARY STRESSING The emphasis on Rotary itself, at today’s luncheon meeting in the | Baranof Gold Room, will be |etressed once a month in 1950, President Akervick announced.
