One of his greatest regrets about leaving the Alaska Road Commission, is leaving his friends and fellow | employees with whom he has been associated for many years. | The greatly expanded road program of the Terri- tory has brought about a reorganization of the Alaska Road Commission, and with Col. John R. Noyes, a capable engineer of many years’ experience in com- | plete charge as commissioner of roads, Mr. Taylor has taken advantage of the retirement his years of service | have earned him. Since Mr. Taylor is retifing, something we can be pleased about is that his successor as chief engineer is Angelo Ghiglione. Except for his service with the as an engineer, practically all of Mr. Ghiglione's | experience since he was graduated from college has been with the Alaska Road Commission, Mr. Taylor's supervision.

Reporting for the 2150 boys and men of Alaska’s scouting organiza- tion, the representatives gave a statistical summary to Gov. Ernest Gruening of the 1949 record for Alaska in scout leadership, mem- bership, and activities. Representing the 601 men and women who are registered leaders in the boys’ move- ment in Alaska, Scout Commissioner Charles G. Burdick, who is a: regional forester for Alasl sup- plemented the information supplied by the boys. ‘The ceremony took place in the Senate Chaml of the Federal Building with radio station KINY | transcribing the proceedings for later release to all Alaska radio sta- | tions.

He lost a tooth in the accident, but suffered no serious injury otherwise. He was staying at the home of Henry Meier while his father, Theodor Heyder, was in Europe. Juneau vessels engaged in halibut fishing had an estimated valua- tion of $230,000, according to statistics compiled by the Chamber of Commerce for the Fishing Vessels Owners’ Association. The figures made public at the Chamber meeting showegd that their products, sold to local buyers and handled at the local cold storage were worth approximately $425,000 the previous year. Of the 125 fishermen engaged in the busi- nes had their families residing here, 25 owning homes locally. The vflcc\ payroll amounted to $185,000 annually. The Fire Department had been called at 4:45 p. m. to put out a small blaze at the home of R. C. Kaufman. Flames were from a blowtorch used to thaw water pipes. More pleasurable was the twenty-fourth annual Firemen’s Ball which crowded the Elks’ Hall in the evening. Miss Edna Riendeau and Miss Verna Hurley presided at the refresh- ment table. Speaking of firemen, the night before, the Douglas Fire Department quintet defeated Juneau High School by a 15-14 score in “a hot battle.” The August Buschmann interest in Peril Strait Packing Company a4 Todd was purchased by the San Juan Fishing and Packing Company. Nick Bez, associatad with Buschmann in the Todd plant, retained his interest and was to continue as head of the company and manager of operations. | { ¢ { Active re-entry in the Alaska salmon industry by C.
