PAGE EIGHT LIONS ENDORSE SCHOOL BONDS, MUSIC FESTIVALS Two ‘“civic |mumcmr‘m proj-| ects” were heartily endorsed by the Juneau Lions' Club today. voted to support the $750, bond issue on which the city vote May 16, and continuation of | the Southeast Alaska High School | Music Festival as an annual event. | School Superintendent Sterling Sears distribut dozen c the architect’s drawing for the pro- posed grade school and gymnasium- auditorium, and referred to com- parative figures on both enrolimen and costs, as listed in today’s pnb- lication of “The Cat's Meow." He pointed out that enrollmen in Juneau schools has grown 1ic 252 in 1918 to 1,050 today these 709 are grade school students. | & Based on the standard of 25 pupil per room, 28 would be re right now, There are 18 usable rooms in the Fifth Avinue build- ing and 3 in the Willoughby school Sears called the present dr: ings “pre-preliminary” plans, ject to revision before application | for federal funds from the Gen- eral Services Administration. It locates a gym-auditorium capable of seating (comfortably) 1,200 pe: sons for basketball games and more than 2,000 for stage performances Total construction cost to be ad- vanced by G. S. A. (including pre- liminary expense, plans, actual con- | struction, equipment and miscell- aneous) is estimated at $886,000, of which the cost to the Juneau In-| dependent School District would eventually be half. Besides this $443,000, the building | site selected (the Smith Dairy prop- | erty) would cost $100,000; making the necessary fill on the site, $25,000, and miscellaneous, $15,000 —a total of $583,000. | The School Board is asking $750,- 000, in order to be assured mat‘ all eventualities are covered. It is| their announced intention to use| only that part of the bond issuc | needed to complete construction. Sears pointed out that there is| no music room for band practice | and similar use, and that various| “special use” rooms could bP‘ changd if desired. The school, as| now projected, would contain 10| classrooms, plus teachers’ rooms, office, nurse’s room, book and stor- | age rooms, lunch room and Kkitchen and a rifle range. ' Sears mentioned that there might be objections to including a rifle| range. “ But” he said, “Alaska L} different. Most adults and young| pecple here use guns; it 1s im- portant that they know how to handle them safely. Right now there are 50 high school students in the Rifle Club.” Dr. Joseph O. Rude, presideni of the Juneau School uoard, stressed the fact that, financially, the situ- ation is better now than it ever! has been, what with tobacco tax and other new revenue. He called on a “guest expert” Walter C Welke, famed University of W ington band director and Festival| adjudicator, for his advice. ‘Welke suggested looking into the| type of combination gym-auditor-| jum which he saw recently in| Lewiston, Idaho. This uses the; same space for stage and basket- ball court and can be used either| with or without the auditorium of seats on an inclined floor. | He urged that special acoustical treatment be part of the original building plans, whichever floor plan is used, and also spoke for inclus- ion of a music room, likewise ac- oustically treated. He suggested that this be close to the stage for protection of equipment when mov- ed to and from the stage. “It is important to have an ele- vated stage,” he commented. “To elevate a performer gives m a little of the prestige he needs.” ‘Wike paid high tribute to Ju- neau’s interest in music and other cultural activities: “You are so artistically minded here,” he said. He cited the fact that everyone. “even the drummers” remained to| the end of the solo band and chorus tryouts. Other visitors at the weekly Lions’ i Club luncheon meeting in the Bar-| anof Gold Room were the Rev.| Michael A. Ossorgin, Benjamin L. See and Robert R. Burns, all of Mt. Edgecumbe, and Louis Vacca,| Ketchikan—all Lions. Guests of Lions numbered also| Mrs. Pauline McCahill, Mrs. Irven Wengert, Miss Virginia Long and| Philip E. Jerauld, music coaches of Douglas, Ketchikan, Juneau and Petersburg, respectively; Col. Ev- erett L. Upson of Fort Richardson and Harold Schultz, Juneau. | Joseph M. Shofner, program| chairman, introduced program par- ticipants. President Val Poor pre- sided, Bob Shuff reported on the Douglas Community Beach project, Chairman Martin Holm did fine| promotional work for tomorrow night’s Lion-sponsored concert by the Mt. Edgecumbe Chorus. Don Foster made the motion for sup- port of the school bond issue.

CAMPAIGN FOR BEHER QUALITY FISH TO BE BEGUN BY TROLLERS The United Trollers of Alaska, Local 100, is beginning an educa- tional campaign in an effort to bring better quality salmon to mar- ket. This was announced today by Andy Barlow, executive secretary ness for most of the poor quality fish which has meant losses in the past for fish buyers. “We're interested in bringing good oW fish to the buyers because wWe that poor quality fish means lo: for them, and they pass their lo on to us in the form of lower prices, Barlow said. i The UTA campaign will be waged through a printed circular pointins ,\ out the benefits to be gained b»‘ fishermen through proper care ot their fish. “We want to react ail the Alaska | trollers,” Barlow said. “One man | who is careless with his tish can| pull down the prices for a lot of fishermen who take good care of their catches.” | es The circular will also call to their attention facts about care ol ’thmx catch which fishermen already | know: 1. Clean the fish carefully as soon | as they are caught. This wiil vent hurried and possibly cleaning at the end of the dajy 2. Lay the fish out flat and cover them with damp sacks. This will prevent dried-out and curled-up fish being delivered to buyers. 3. Get the fish under ice within s after they are caught.
