PAGE EIGAT — FISHERMEN BEGIN REPAIR WORK ON MERCADO'S BOAT As Mack Mercado's frozen feet painfully come to life at St. Ann’s Hospital, Juneau fishermen and wanterfront businessmen are pre- paring a homecoming for the cour- ageous owner of the 31A464. The Coast Guard Cuttter White Holly towed the battered 40-foot troller into Juneau's harbor Sun- day night. Yesterday morning a party of fishermen went with Al- bert Wallace aboard his Alrita and took over the troller. Jack Warner, owner and opera- tor of the Juneau Marine Company at the foot of West Eighth Street, helped the fishermen haul the trol-j ler out of the water. Then all of them went to work caulking the hull. It’s just a patch-up job,” Warner said. “We're going to put the troller back in the water so she won't freeze up during the winter.” After the caulking was done, B. H. “Jack” Manery, Carl Wiedman Kenneth Millard, Lester Weiss, and Johnny James began cleaning out the cabin. The boat, which sunk in a squall at St. James Bay December 7, was no longer ship-shape. “Mack always had his boat look- ing neat,” one of the fisherman said as he pulled a water-logged mattress off a bunk. “Look at ‘t now. Everything's messed up. They had a carton of rice in here and it swelled when it got wet. It's all over. And the stove’s full of soot.” Some of the men worked at 100s- ening the engine on its mounts. R. W. Cowling Company has offered to donate all the labor necessary ance. Young and old, shy and fear- less, the children crowded around him, and many were persuaded to sing or recite. Candy-filled stock- ings were distributed and then it was time for grown-up fingers to manipulate buttons and zippers, scarves, boots and mittens. Of the complete list of Rotarians, Jr., and Rotary Annettes, only one was missing: 9-year-old Susan Blanton, who has mumps trouble. “You have full complement, haven't you?" Ellis Reynolds| checked the list with Rotary dads. Reynolds put on a fine party for the youngsters, assisted by Elton| Engstrom in a dramatic role. | Team captains Howard D. Stab- | ler and Dr. Willlam Whitehead busily checked off the membership | for 15-minute shifts at the Salva- tion Army Christmas kettle tomor- row between 10 am. and 2 pm, but there was little other club busi- ness this time. Guests were Herbert Hilscher of | Fairbanks and the Rev. Fred Telecky of Auk Bay. Next week, Rotarians change Christmas gifts themselves. a will ex- among TDASKETBALL D fPesults Final scores of college basketball games played over the weekend are as follows: Washington 38, Alpine Dairy 30.

Jack Warner told of plans forj complete repair of the fishing ves- | sel. “We'll bring it into the shop asl soon as the weather gets a little better,” he said. “The fishermen have a caulking party all planned. We'll really fix this boat for Mack.” Reason for doing the work? “Well,” Warner explained, “the boys all like Mack. And it'll'be nice for him to have his boat ready when he gets out of the hospita).” PROUD PAPAS ENTERTAIN AT ROTARY PARTY Take 62 excited youngsters from high-chair age on; put them in the presence of Santa Claus beside a dazzling Christmas tree. Add proud fathers in the background, and you have the all-around best program of the year in the opinion of Rotary Club members. Members of the pigtail and pina- fore set, along with the Buck Rogers crowd, were guests of the Juneau Rotary Club this noon for the an- nual Christmas party to which members bring their children. About 35 of the younger guests were seated at long low tables run- ring the length of the Baranof Gold Room, right up to the Christ- mas tree, and the others sat with their dads. Even the student Ro-| tarian of the month, Bill Sperling, had young guests, bringing two young cousins. ‘The buzz of excitement yielded long enough for the matter of eat- ing (for which the very young had & special menu) and for carol- singing.
