E. K. Guerin was “at the controls.” Lt. Col. J. D. Alexander, chairman for the Juneau observance of Armed Forces Day Saturday, spoke brietly on plans for the day. He said the combined observance, by proclama- tion, is to further unification and to give the taxpayer some idea of how the tax dollar is spent for de- fense. Alexander called special aitention to the 11 am. parade which will pass the reviewing stand on the Federal Building steps about 11:15, and to the demonstration of weapon firing. This will be with the M-1 rifle, a light machine gun and the so-called heavy mortar. Three F-80 jet planes and three B-1Ts are to be here for the occasion. Armed Forces Day will close with a dance arranged jointly by the mayor’s office, the musicians’ union and the American Legion, he said, Charles W. Carter gave a short talk urging fellow Rotarians to sup- port the Cancer Fund drive, stress- ing the fact that there is no “pres- sure” in this campaign. In the usual club horseplay, there was an epidemic of fines for just about everything, including one against Judge George W. Folta for a certain absent-mindedness. Lorin T. Oldroyd, director of the University of Alaska Extension Service and a member of the Fair- banks Rotary Club, was the only visiting Rgtarian. Other guests were Cecil Casler’s father, Guy Casler of Hastings, Neb., who is visiting his son’s family for the summer; George Crisman, Mrs. Jane McKaskle of San Francisco, Kenneth - Forsman of Washington, D.C., and Leonard Berlin, SEATTLEITES VISIT ¢ Mr. and Mrs. W.

LIGHT TRAFFIC ALLOWED OVER HAINES CUTOFF Light traffict was allowed over the Haines Highway beginning this morning, a report from Highway Patrolman Al Lupcke at Haines to Territorial Highway Engineer Frank A. Metcalf said today. Canadian road officials, at work for a month to clear Chilkat Pass and a heavy slide area just inside the Canadian border, planned on opening the road Monday—but missed only a day in their esti- mate. Heavy trucks will be held up for approximately a week, Lupke said. By that time the road will be dried out dénough to allow their passage, it was believed. One or two private cars have been allowed over the cut-off pre- viously, one having arrived in Ju- neau last week on board the MV Chilkoot. ANB IS T0 GET OLD CHURCH BUILDING; ELECTION FEES SET| WASHINGTON, May 16 — (h — Legislation premitting the Alaska Legislature to fix fees of election | officials in general elections in the Territory was approved by the| House and sent to the President. In the past the Legislature has| paid primary elections officials $15 a day while the federal government paid general election officials $5 a | day. | The House also approved and sent to the White House a bill per- mitting the Interior Department to transfer to the Alaska Native Broth- erhood a building at Juneau. The building referred to is the| old Presbyterian Church building owned by the Alaska Native Service | since 1941 but unusued for some| years. It is located on Willoughby | Avenue not far from the school- ! house and across from the Channel | Apartments. When the Channel Apartments were erected, the old Alaska Native | Brotherhood Hall was torn down,; and the present building has been | used occasionally by the ANB for meetings. The transfer would be in the nature of a ‘“use permit” for native groups, it was explained by Reinholt Brust, acting area direc- tor for the Native Service.
