Toastmasters Provide Hilarity At Guest Dinner Subjects were in contrasting var- iety and costumes the same, at thei banquet Saturday evening of the Taku Toastmasters. - The Baranof Gold Room mirrors reflected formal gowns of lace and satin, also the bright-colored garb of couples planning to go square dancing later. In a witty and effective demon- stration of their weekly dinner-hour | study of public speaking, the 33 Ju- neau members of Toastmasters In- ternational gave talks of interest,|) hours of entertainment for their wives and other guests. About 100 members and guests had cocktails on The Terrace, then were seated at the long U-shaped table from | which speakers went to a small improvised stage for their perfor- mances. Nonsense Skit Seriously and in burlesque, the orators demonstrated eye contact, hand gestures, proper voice modu- lation and such essentials of de- livery. These were lost in the guf- faws which greeted the performance of a nonsense skit, “If Men Played | Cards as Women Do,” which includ- ed wisecracks concerning at least half the members. { President Joseph A, McLean pre- Mayor Hend- rickson said brief, careful grace and Dr. John Clements as toast- master guided the complicated pro- gram, adroitly linking personalities | and subjects to each other with| clever “ad libs.” Strid\ly observing time limits as indicated by a warning green light and a flashing red one, the men spoke, eyed, gestured and mod- ulated, while a bank of ecritics| watched and listened for flaws. Ellis, Topic Master William G. Ellis, topic master for the party, said “Usually we discuss such matters as the United Na-| tions, the Marshall Plan, or Ter-| ritorial taxes, but tonight we have | an easier subject.” Then he named the debaters who would discuss “Should There Be or Not Be a Toastmistress Club in Juneau?” Arguing for such a club, “al- though, mind you, these are not| necessarily our real views,” were | J. B. Burford, Wayne Richey, Ed | Peyton, A. F. Ghiglione and Sin-| clair H. Lorain, who referred to “toastmystery” as a cultural possi- bility. Finding more favor with members was R. W. Cowling’s statément that “woman’s place is in the home.” Other well-received arguments ag- ainst such a club were by Vic Power (“How could they ever limit themselves to a 5-minute talk? Or take kindly to criticism?”); Urban (Pete) Nelson, Willlam R. Hughes (“Toastmasters is for self-improve- and there is no need of improvement for these women”) and Ellis Reynolds. Topicmaster Ellis congratulated Hughes, manager of the Baranof Hotel, on'the “creative imagination” of his argument, saying “Everyone | knows he would organize a club of lepers if it would meet at the ho- tel.” 5-Minute Talks Harold Foss gave the first five- minute talk, choosing the subject “Insulated Glass.” He began by say- ing, “After being trained not to move the hands nervously, now I am to illustrate the use of hands.” This he did by showing interesting samples. His talk was under a spe- cial handicap, as it was against the subdued clatter of removal of In his talk on “The Art of Fabu- lous Lying,” H. E. Green pleaded for a return of the “tall tales” such as Mark Twain’s “Jumping Frog,” which have been replaced by gross exaggeration instead of imagination. Norman Durocher had his audi- ence in the aisles with a disserta- tion on “The Role of Lulubelle,”| a witty discourse about the dress- maker's dummy—“a certified copy of the original” by which “you try to keep up with the Van Jones- es on a Jones salary.” His most severe critics could find no fault with this gem and its presentation. Fred Dunn provided both enter- tainment and information in & nov- elty skit, “53 Pieces of Baggage,” which included sleight-of-hand with a deck of cards. (Later criti- cism was that he should not stand in front of a mirror.) Herbert Rowland had the difficult assignment of giving an impromptu talk, a feature of every Toast- masters’ session in which the per- son is given the subject only two or three minutes before talking. Rowland gave a well organized argument for this city on the sub- ject, “Should the Territorial Build- ing be in Juneau or Anchorage?” Actors in Club He also introduced the Taku N RIGERRRORR: Open 11 a. m. to 3 a. m.

Edward P. Chester, Jr,; Gene Vu- ille, Comdr. D. McG. Morrison and W. A. Chipperfield. Lt. Comdr. Elvin C. Hawley held perfect attention for 10 minutes in his interest-filled talk on “Hypno- which con- tained factual information, personal anecdotes and humor. Nor did he need to “take out” his audience with the hypnotist’'s methods. Charles G. Burdick served as chief critic, introducing memhers‘ who had given hawk-like atten- tion to individual speeches, These with the names of the| speakers assigned in each casel were Linn A. Forrest—Comdr. Haw- ley; Al Ransome—Durocher; Bill| Manthey—Green; Ed Peyton—Foss, | and Mayor Hendrickson—Rowland. Everett W. Erickson served effi- ciently as grammarian, although there are those who would quibble about his ruling on pronunciation of “program.” Green ‘introduced Dr. Ted R. Ob- erman, visiting Toastmaster, form- erly of the Everett, Wash, Club, who is a newcomer to Juneau. He declared that, for social purposes, the meeting would *sit adjourned.” 12 ARRIVE, 6 DEPART BY PACIFIC NORTHERN Pacific Northern Airlines brought 12 passengers from the westward during the weekend and six persons were on Saturday and Sunday flights leaving Juneau.
