STEVENS RETIRES WORK; GOES NORTH 10 VISI DAUGHTER Ray H. Stevens, for approximately 40 years a resident” of Juneau and prominent in business and fraternal circles, and for the past eight years the Chief of Benefits of the Em- ployment Security Commission, will retire from active duties on January 1. He and his wife, operator of the apparel shop which bears their name, left Saturday to spend the holidays with their daughter, Mrs. Rotert Hoopes of Fairbanks. Accrued vacation time due him came just right so he could travel rorth. Although active and with no thought of “taking it easy” in mind, Stevens was forced to retire be- cause of his age—more than 70. But he will continue to keep books for M Stevens, keep busy at his ubs, and be traveling outside on buying trips. A going-away party was given him in his Goldstein Building office Friday afternoon, at which he was presented with a beautiful piece of luggage, and a scroll signed by each member of the staff with whom he worked. Before going with the Commis- sion, he was cashier for the First National Bank many years, and did accounting work prior to that. He was an accomplished musician, having played the- saxophone for dance bands around Juneau many years ago He was secretary of the Moose at one time, and is still active with that organization, as well as the Elks Club. No one at his former office ex- pects him to just sit back and smoke a pipe, Lecause up to the last day he worked he was first in the office and last to leave, they said. It was planned to give him his farewell on December 29 in Douglas, when the Commission has its annual dinner and holiday cele- bration, but his going north rushed the date a week. TWO MEN FINED $700 FOR POACHING DEER Two men were fined a total of 700 in the U. S. Commissioner’s Court in Cordova after being arrested by a Fish and Wildlife Service law enforcement agent with illegal deer meat in their possession. The men, A. L. Raffensperger and Glenn E. Mason, received 15-day jail sentences in addition to the fines. They were found guilty of taking deer in a closed season, tak- ing big game with rimfire cart- ges, destroying evidence of sex in game, and illegal transportation and possession of deer, according to FWS law enforcement officialy here. Fred C. Robards, FWS enforce- ment agent, said he seized two 22 rifles and parts of three deer from the two men. They were found guilty Friday.

A bonus bill for World War Twe veterans is in the background. Even 1ts strongest supporters among vet- crans' organizations don't expect this multi-billion dollar measure to get anywhere in the next session. The House already has passed a literalized pension bill for veterans of both World Wars. Now it’s up tc the Senate to act. There have been estimates that over the next half century the bill would set the taxpayers back around £8,500,000,000. The couple will live in an apart- ment at the Baranof Hotel.
