DR, RIZAL BANQUET 'TOMIGHT TO HONOR FILIPINO PATRIOT Commemorating the 53rd anni- versary of the death of Dr. Jose Rizal, the Juneau Filipino Com- munity and Auxiliary is sponsor- ing a Rizal Day banquet and pro- gram tonight, just as this group has done here since 1931, the year the organization was formed. Heartfelt tribute by members and the guest speaker, U.S. Attorney P. J. Gllmore, Jr, will be given the hero-patriot who was executed before a firing squad December 30, 1896 for writing books against the monastical regime of the Spaniards in the Philippines. liberation which came later, the host group and their guésts will spend the rest of the evening danc- ng. 1 Tony Florendo is general chair- | man of the semi-formal party to- night in the Baranof Hotel Gold Room, which will start with a ' o'clock tanquet. Joe Dumlao is toastmaster, and the after-dinnel program will include several musi- cal numbers. Among the greetings sent here for the Juneau Rizal Day celebra- tion was a letter from Frank M. Bolima, editor and publisher o! The Philippine-American Dispatch (Salinas, Calif.). Editor Bolima write: “Having resided in Alaska for more than 25 years, I have made many friends throughout the Territory, from Ketchikan to the Bering Sea, and wish to extend my holiday greet- ings " The former Alaskan is the son- in-law of the late Ezra M. Peters, wellknown engineer and boat builder who formerly lived in Ju- neau and Douglas. Bolima enclosed several of his own editorials about Dr. Rizal, in one of which he had written: “Rizal Day represents inherently the spirit and motive of Philippine nationalism, its cool courage, its consecration to the service of country and its creative energy. A new naton was born . . . We tremble with joy of the birth of the Filipino nation. . . “The character and degree of civilization of a great people are determined by the monuments they erect and the kind of men whose memories they perpetuate . . . Dr. Jose Rizal lived not for mmse]t but for his beloved country; not for his country alone, tut for the world. . . “The thought of Dr. Rizal is thrown back across the years of stress and storm to the first be- ginning of a new life of hope, to the first rosy streaks of the reali- zation of national consciousness... Thus, on Rizal Day. we pay our homage to .the martyrs of our liberty and give voice to the dreams ;v.hat he dreamed.” {MAN SENTENCED HERE | FOR CONTRIBUTING T0 MINORS' DELINQUENCY Harry B. Falt, 55, was found euilty today in the U.8. District Court here on two counts of con- tributing to the delinquency of a minor. Falt, a cook, was brought here from Ketchikan. He waived indict- ment and was prosecuted on infor- mation. He was sentenced to serve one year and one day on each count, the sentences to rum concurrently and to be served in the U.S. Peni- tentiary at McNeil Island.

He took the Chugach on many emergency calls to search for over- due boats and missing persons in) hazardous weather, and his ability was displayed % the fact he always brought the launch back to nort.
