What can snow rangers do about avalanches? They can start them. Tricky skiing sets piecemeal avalanches to rolling, clearing the slopes and avoiding destructive lides. Larger avalanches are en- cou ed by explosive charges, and one sequence in the film shows a gun crew of the Utah National Guard firing to the top of a dan- gerous canyon to loosen the snow and ice pack. Details of analyzing weather pat- terns and terrain, with determina- tion of avalanche angles and warn- signs are part of the short movie narrated by Lowell Thomas. The film was the main program feature at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Kiwanis Club in he Baranof Gold Room. William Biggs operated the projector. Otherwise, the program was ctly informal, consisting of ever piano numbers by Dr. John Montgomery, and community sing- ng, led by Larry Parker. President Stanley Baskin an- nounced that-possible sponsorship of an important and needed civic pro- ject will be discussed at the board meeting next Tuesday. GAFFNEY, ONCELADD COMMANDER, DEAD 20— AUGUSTA, Ga., March ! Brig. Gen. Dale V. Gaffney, Deputy Commander of the Air Force Prov- ing Ground at Elgin Air Base, Fla., died yesterday. He was commander, Ladd Air Force Base, Fairbanks, Alaska, until late last year. Gaffhey was 56. He became a pilot in 1918 and had served in many im- portant Air Force assignments.

The Alaska scouts will leave their homes about June 15 and return approximately July 15. During their month’s trip they will visit the major cities of the United States and tour spots of historic and national interest. Four Alaska Scoutmasters have been chosen to lead the group. Head- ing the list is the Rev. Vietor I. Alfsen of Palmer. He will be assisted | by Thomas N. Cashen of Douglas, | Edward K. Browne of Fairbanks, and Chester E. Zenger of Juneai. Scout executive Maurice Powers will accompany the group and serve as coordinator for all arrange- ments. General Dwight D. Eisenhower, in | a message to the Boy Scouts of America, said that he feels their second National Jamboree of 40,000 Scouts at Valley Forge, Pennsyl- vania, “will result in greater under standing, appreciation and rever ence of the precious gifts America bestows on all of us,” Gen. Eisenhower is a member of the National Executive Board of the boy scout organization. His| message follows: “You camp on sacred when you hold your National Jam- | boree at Valley Forge Park—and your lives will be enriched by the ex- | perience. It was at Valley Forge in| the winter of 1777-1778 that Gen- eral George Washington, Father of our Country, was put to the ulti- mate test in holding his ragged,! sick and hungry forces. His succ in the darkest hour of the Ameri- can Revolution was the inspiration for the later victories that eslab- lished the Thirtgen Colonies as al new nation dedicated to the prin-| ciple of “Liberty and Justice for‘ all.” Valley Forge will forever sym- bolize Wa hington's spmmal EYES EXAMINED filllin, Second and Franklin AT |aska Highway ground | directory of cit DE.

I am convinced that the Jamboree will result in greater understanding, ap- preciation and reverence of the pre- cious gifts America bestows on all of us. “I salute you who may be counted on to add much to our country’s greatness when you assume the role of leaders. Valley Forge will help prepare you for that exalted task.” There are only three places left for scouts in the Jamboree delega- tion from Alaska, according to Cur- tis Shattuck of Juneau, Council Jamboree Chairman. Alaska is en- titled to send 47 scouts, so that ad- ditional applications will be held on a waiting list, pending possible can- cellations from other boys. Scouts must be at least 13 years old, of first class rank, and with adequate camping experience in order to be considered for the trip. All of those going have presented satisfactory plans for earning a portion of their total expenses, with the balance either being provided by their par- ents or through assistance from a sponsoring organization, Shattuck | said.
