PAGE SIX e PLANE DIPS OVER RUNWAY BECAUSE OF ICE; NO INJURIES A Pan-American World Airways DC-4, loaded with 35 passengers and operated by a crew of five, plunged over the southeast end of the Ju- neap airport runway yesterday af- terncon. No one was injured. Extreme jce conditions were blamed for the plane’s inability to stop at the end of the short 5,000~ field. District Traffic Dunn said the plane, from Fairbanks, was going only about 10 miles an hour when it dipped over the shallow embank- ment and came to rest on its right wing, with its nose high in the air. The tide was out, and passengers were able to disembark by means of a long ladder to the tideflats. The big ship was pulled back on the field later in the afternoon. The accident occurred at 12:20 p.m. One wingtip was found to be slightly damaged, although Dunn said a complete overall inspection of the plane would be made before it would be allowed in the air again. The plane was on Flight 604, originally scheduled to land here from Seattle Saturday afternoon, but was sent on to the north because of weather conditions. She carried 30 passengers from Seattle to Ju- Manager Fred arriving here neau. On her return, she picked up five more persons for here and the south. The regular Seattle plane, Flight 923, due to arrive approximately an |BASKETBALL, PETE, SHARE SPOTLIGHT AT LIONS' CLUB Twenty-three guests swelled the crowd to 82 in the Baranof Gold Room this noon for the Lions Club weekly luncheon. There, the accent was on “sports” chiefly basketball, but also Peter Wood, who “pulled a bundy” last week by getting the Lions’ president, | Val Poor, off to the district conven- | tion just a month early. Harry Speriing, chairman ot the | Lion-sponsored Fourth Gold Medal | Basketball Tournament this week, gave a detailed report which in- cluded late changes in plans. Other committee members “cleaned up” last minute matters and every member of the Juneau Lions Club signed up to -usher for 1t least one of the eight cage battles. Art Hedges of the tournament committee introduced L. W. “Kinky" Bayers, Jack C. Gould, Carl D'Epiro, and F. M. Tyvoll, four of the tive tournament judges. Art Burke was unable to attend. With Sperling on the committee are A. B. Morgan, treasurer; Wil- liam Matheny, secretary; Bud Phelps, EG Chester, Peter Wood, | Joe Shofner, Earl Forsythe and Les | Avrit. A number of visiting coaches, managers and players were intro- duced. Among these were Charles Buchart, coach, and Tom Atkin- son, both of Metlakatla VFW; Gor- don E. Mason, Wrangell Thunder- birds manager; John Hope, Sitka Hedges, | | hour after the accident, was sent| ANB manager and Herbert Didrick- back to Annette Island to await|son; Johnny Mills, Ketchikan A.A. clearing of the field.

A Pacific Northern Air- ways plane hesitated and circled the field some time after hearing of the occurrence, but finally landed without incident. It was a two- engined DC-3, able to land in a smaller compass. Dunn said the field had been sanded, but a quick thaw ensued, which tended to scatter the sand, making it ineffectual. Passengers were shaken up but joked about the incident as they came down the ladder to the tide- flats. Whitely Thorpe, contractor, sup- ervised pulling the plane back to the runway with two tractors. The job took no time and no trouble was experienced, airport officials said. Crew members were: Capt. Vic Hawley, Capt. Stanley Griffin, 1st Lieut. Keith Petrich, Purser Merla Peden and Stewardess Evelyn Hartje. . Juneau-bound passengers Wwho came from Seattle the long way included these persons, all return- ing to Kodiak, who went to Anchor- age later yesterday via Pacific Northern Airlines: Cecil, Marion and Edward Brown; Fred Lang, L. Pan- amaroff and Mrs. Chris Madsen. Others for Juneau were Walter Bell of Eatonville, Wash, and Don | Pegues of the PAA Juneau statf. Another Juneau-bound contin- gent had boarded at Annette Island —members of the Metlakatla bas- ketball squad and coach, coming for the Gold Medal Tournament this week. In this group are Tom Adkin- son, Charles Buchert, Billy Dun- das, Frank Bolton, Norman Miene, Charles Fawcett, Jeff David, Dundee Atkinson, Frank Hayward, Milne and Everett Hudson and Romey At- kinson. The remaining 15 passengers boarded the flight at Fairbanks, with Annette Island and Seattle as their destination. FRANK HERMANNS LEAVE FOR MEXICO VACATION After clearing up their affairs in Juneau, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Her- mann started today on their first vacation in years. They boarded the southbound Denali, planning to take delivery on a new car in Seattle, then drive to Mexico for a leisurely tour. Be- yond that, their plans are uncer- tain. Dave Reischl recently purchased the Hermann home at 643 Main Street. lumbians; James Harrigan, coach for Mt. Edgecumbe Vocational School; Guy Rt , manager, and Mickey Pusich, stant, for Mike's Night Owls (Douglas). Other tournament visitors were Al Lawrence and William Peters of Mt. Edgecumbe; and Morris Grant and William Dugagona of Kake. C. L. “Barney” Anderson, former president of the Juneau Lions club and now basketball coach for Skag- way High School, provided an amusing interlude when asked to ex- plain the cage upset Saturday night in which the Juneau Bears really took the visiting Panthers, making today’s play-off necessary. Using the strategy-of “offense is the best defense,” Anderson charged Lion Peter Wood with being “ahead of the ball,” and presented him with a sheaf of 1950 calendars. Lion Pete, whose “red face” had been carefully ‘hand-tinted in the (Lion Club publication), of ribbing. He was set, though, for both the written blast and that of hungry, roaring Lions and busily urged par- ticipation in the Peter Wood Bundy Fund for the Rehabilitation of the Juneau Lions Club. (Pete is still working on plans to recoup his losses, he having offered to pay expenses of President Val Poor for the mis- timed journey toward Seward.) President Poor was unable to at- tend today—and, indeed why should he? He had already made up one meeting at the Anchorage Lions Club Friday, where he took con- siderable ribbing for Wood's faux pas. Peter Wood’s bundy plan is in- tended to include revenue for the convention fund of the Juneau club, so that a large delegation can at- tend the district convention in Seward March 17 and 18. Incident- ally, one recommendation Prexy Poor was to make at the conclave was for a later convention date. Visiting Lions numbered John Hope, Al Lawrence, Willilam Peters and Herbert Didrickson, all of the Mt. Edgecumbe Lions Club. Other guests were Elmer L. Jones, Al G. Overholtzer, Bill C. Hill, Ger- ald Shaw and John Brantner, all of Juneau. Vice President Joseph L. Shofner presided in the absence of the Presi- dent, and Tail Twister J. Gerald got plenty | Williams was his usual roaring self having a field day on fines. 1 THE UNITED TROLLERS Of Alaska will hold regular meet- ing in CIO Hall Tuesday Feb. 21— Kid's Sleds at Madsen'’s. 432-tf | 7:30 o'clock.—adv. 432-1t wishes to Simpson Bldg.

The location was once dream- |ed of for a club home but a war |and other considerations delayed |its building and the dream is now envisioning a larger scope of com- ’munu\ service. The hours were from from 4 to 6 and the hostesses were Mrs, William L. Paul, Club President, and Mesdames Mildred R. Hermann, D. W. Herron and C. E. Warfield and Miss Anne Cole- man, present members of the Building Board, who received the ‘guests. The oval table in the dining room | was set by the double side windows and centered against the lacey | background with a beautiful ar- rangement of spring flowers in front of which were arranged the attractive sandwiches of tiny cakes. | Asked to pour during the reeciving hours were past and present mem- | bers of the Building Board, Mrs. | Crystal Jenne, Mrs. Ray G. Day, | Mrs. Hermann, Mrs. Warfield and Mrs. Herron. The clever invitations which were issued to the affair bore a drawing of the house at the top and des- cribed three acts in connection with the property. The acquisition of the location in 1938 through the vision, faith and business shrewdness of the members of the JWC constitut- ed the first act. The symbolic burn- ing of the mortgage in 1941 ended the second act, it stated, and the merging of the club house dream into a greater project for the community of Juneau is about to complete the third act with two more acts to follow. The “Open House” yesterday was described as a “Farewell to the Old, Hail to the New,” and will be long remembered by the many club women who were able to be present.

He pointed out the rare op-| portunity now being given Juneau to obtain a long-wanted new library building and urged Juneau's citizens | to give generously, either in cash or in two-year pledzes, during the coming week. “Public subscriptions, coming mi large part from local firms, indi- viduals and organizations, have provided the money for the pur- chase of a site for $10,000 and $56,000 toward the cost of the pro- ‘ posed building, estimated at $140,000. Federal match money to the extent $70,000 is available for the pro- ject on a 50-50 basis under the Alaska Public Works Program. We thus have a balance of $14,000 to raise by popular subscription. The building is to be constructed this summer if the $14,000 can be raised | in the next month or two,” he con-| cluded.

The repeater—or “booster”—is one of two on the island, which in turn is one of six such stations from here to the first city. Capt. Svend Hansen of ACS said the repeater went dead several days ago, but severe weather held up any attempt to try for a landing. Two repeaters are at each sta- ion so that in case one goes dead, the other may be switched on from headquarters so that the cable will not go into disuse while the dead mechanism is awaiting re- pair. ---.~ - a flflfi[flllfl KENTUCKY'S BOURBON (|} Genvine SOUR MASH Kentucky Straight Sourbon Whiskey BOTTLED IN BOND 00 oor Distributed throughout Alaska by ODOM COMPANTY Call RAY RICE for —awatity PLASTERIN Your rooms refinished with the plaster that INSULATE Free Estimates — Phone Douglas 21 Dlstmctlve Plumbing ® Healing Oil Burners Telephone-319 Nights-Red 730 Harri Machine Shop, Inc.
