PAGE SIX DAVIDS BEAT SITKA BUT WEATHERIS THE WINNER HERE The House of David cage stars| were chewing their beards today.| The Al weather had done what | few basketball teams had been able to do—it had them stopped They had beat the Alaska Native Brotherhood team in Sitka by a cool 24 points Saturday night--they the exact score ed betore the layed betore in he best they 1gh their whiskers wanted to leave for the played 93 games losing only three, nd there re more games waiting for them in the states. “We cancelled out three down there so we could play at Ju- tloor, n and Sitka,” H. Witte, their business manager, said today. “Now it looks like we won't be able to| play our game tonight against the Harlem Globe Trotters at Tacoma. He pulled some strings and tried some angles Then he said, with a look of dis- appointment: “It doesn't look like we'll get out today, either. No planes going south from here.” Is not that the be-whiskered hoopmen like flying. They don’t, Witte pointed out. They'd rather ride a bus. “They seem to get airsick,” he said. “They're a lot better at bas- ketball than flying.” He looked at the sky. It didn’t look good for flying. The ceiling was so low his tall hoopsters had to bend to keep their heads out of the clouds. We've got another game sched- uled against the Globe Trotters in Seattle tomorrow night. We'll prob- ably have to cancel that, too,” Witte said sadly. “Are there any: busses going south from here?” CAP SQUADRON INITIATES CADET PROGRAM WED. With Col. Neil Fritchman as com- mandant of cadets, the pre-flight training program of the Juneau Civil Air Patrol Squadron will get under way at the meeting Wednes- day evening. Interested and girls, 15 students, both boys 16 and 17 years old are urged to attend the semi-monthly meeting at 7:30 pm. in the of- fice of the District Engineer at the Army dock. Colonel Fritchman and the cadets will meet separately from the sen- ior group, which will continue the scheduled training pfrogram for credit hours toward CAP ratings. Lt. Stanley Tyler, training of- ficer, has divided the two-hour ses- sion into study of first aid and of navigation. In the study of first aid, under direction of Lt. Mae Suhrbier, medical officer, a train- ing film will be shown. “Essentials of First Aid” describes the correct methods of transporta- tion and protection of the injured; rescue andrevival of persons over- come by smoke; medical facilities afloat, contents of Navy first aid kits, and procedure of examination | and treatment of the wounded.

ROY SMITH IS SPEAKER TONIGHT, METHODIST CHURCH Dr. Roy Smith (picture above) is scheduled to speak tonight at 8 o'clock in the Methodist Church. He arrived here today, coming from Ketchikan where he has spent the past week speaking in the Methodist Church and in the meetings of the business men’s clubs. Although Dr. Smith is not mak- ing his tour of Alaska in the in- terest of the Methodist College, which is to be located in Alaska, a eat deal of consideration is being| given him because of the high posi- | tion he occupies in the Methodisi organization. Widely known as a writer and public speake Dr. Smith never fails to draw a capacity house when- ever he makes a public appearance. His brief visit to Juneau will in- clude two public services in the Methodist Church, tonight and Tuesday night at 8 o'clock each eve- ning. Special music is being prepared for each of the evening services. Harold Salisbury, basso who was re- cently featured in a delightfully successful concert in the Methodist Church will sing “Israefel” by Oliver. The choir will present an anthem by I. B. Sergei, “My God and r Sy Mrs. Jane McMullin will be direct- ing the choir. 1 Arrangements are being made to provide maximum accommodations for the large attendance that is an- ticipated.

Dreibelbis had planned last fall to make a change about the first of the year. He was on his next- to-last business trip in Alaska when | he was hutt in the crash of an Al- aska Coastal Airlines plane near Wrangell December 3. | His mother, Mrs. Helen Dreibelbis, will go outside with her son and his wife and their two children, Othilies and Donna. She plans to go to Philadelphia when the rest of the family leaves for Caifornia after a few days in Seatte. Dreibelbis is greatly improved since the accident, but unable to do more than walk, and a warmer climate was recommended for his convalescence. F. N. Groves of Seattle has suc- ceeded Dreibelbis here temporarily, as maintenance man for the Bur- roughs Adding Machine Company. - After four Juneau, family FROM YAKUTAT Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
