PAGE SIX 4 MEN INITIATED BY LIONS CLUB AT ROARING SESSION Juneau Lions were so absorbe their own roaring good tellowship, and in the initiation of new members and plans for events thi month, that no time was left for ¢ formal program today. four The same objective ws aittained however, as the general idea for the meeting in the Ba of Gold Room had been for Lions to stand up and talk about themselves. Past Presi- dent George Danner was to have introduced them. They introduced themselves well as the four members initiat today: Robert Tandy, Harold ger, Robert Scott and Earl Forsythe. Alva W. Blackerby, who was wel- comed back after a serious bout with the mumps, was in charge of the little ceremony for the four, in which Willlam Matheny and Lt Comdr. Edward P. Chester, Jr also took part In a heartfelt talk, Frank Her- mann, one of the founders of the Juneau club and a past district governor, made remarks appropri- ate both to his own departure from | Juneau and to the new members President Val Poor made a short speech of appreciation to Hermann, and presented him with a gift on behalf of the club. The four initiates and the 14 who became members earlier this month were immediately put to work by Les Avritt, chairman of seating ar- rangements for the big basketball game here Saturday night. The “Cubs” have a date for 7:30 p.m. Thursday, to paint the numbers on seats in the High School gym. (Incidentally, only 35 reserved seat| tickets are left of the 440 put on| sale a week ago.) Weoring the| bright, new Lions' caps, they also will be in the group of ushers for| the House of David exhibition game | Saturday. Harry Sperling, basketball com- mittee chairman, announced the| preliminary game for 7:30 pm., the main event to follow at about 8:30. He said the name of the team to oppose the “long hairs” will be announced tomorrow in The Empire. Proceeds will help buy an eleciric scoreboard, which already is on the way here. Sperling also reported that entries for the Gold Medal Basketball Tournament have been made by Juneau, Douglas, Metlakatla, Wran- | gell and Ketchikan, with assuranee | that one will come from Mt. Edge- | cumbe. Yet to be heard from are Petersburg, Kake and Sitka.
