"THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. LXXV., NO. 11,5616 PRELIMINARY PLANS FOR "ALASKA OFFICE BLDG. LOOKED OVER| ... ... | Preliminary plans for the new “Alaska - Office Building” to rise in Juneau in the near future were discussed ihis afternoon by. the Board of Administration, the meet- ing being called by Frank A. Met- calf, ex-official superintendent of public works for the Territory. The plans arrived in his office late last week, and will be dis- cussed and gone over carefully for several weeks for changes which seem important. They were drawn up by the architectural firm of Foss and Malcolm in Juneau. Metcalf said the board would act fast on the plans, as officials wish to get construction started as soon as possible. The building will be of five stor- ies and a basement, with its main entrance on Main Street, with oth®r entrances on 4th and 3rd Streets. Metcalf didn't say who thought up the name for the new structure, but agreed *hat it was an excellent choice—the term “Territorial Build- ing” might be outmoded in the near future, but the new name would take care of any eventuality. Board members will discuss any ideas of changes with members of the Territory’s staff of officials, prior to putting the stamp of “ap- proval to the drawings. The plans now show the proposed face of the kuilding, and rooms on each floor The board was still in session at press time, so no comments were available from board members as to their ideas concerning the draw- ings. Gov. Ernest Gruening, Aud- itor Frank A. Boyle, Attorney Gen- eral J. Gerald Williams and Met- calf attended the session.

ASHINGTON — This column is to be buried at Wichita, Kansas, to be dug up and read 50 years later. The idea of such a column was evolved by Dick Long, editor of the Wichita Eagle who is burying a mid-century time cylinder at the Wichita ' airport. When he first asked me to write a column to be read 50 years later, I thought it was sort of a crackpot idea. But the more I thought about it, the more I figured this might be a chance to get some things off my chest I've been thinking for some time. So here goes. TO THOSE WHO READ THIS IN THE YEAR 2000: This is writeen in 1950, when the world seems very complex, very harassed and very uncertain. I don’t know how much more com- plex it will be by the time you read this. But approximately 100 years ago, when my grandfather travelled to Kansas in a prairie schooner, life was much simpler. He pitched a tent at night almost anyplace he wished. There were no fences to bother him, no No- Trespassing signs, no speed laws, no filling stations, no gasoline fumes. And when he got to Kan- sas, he was able to settle almost anyplace. In the hundred years that have passed since then, we have accel- erated in complexities of life trem- | t PLANS COMPLETED FORMEMORIAL DAY are now completed for the observance* tomorrow of Memorial Day.

He pointed out that, in 1940, it cost $95 to fly between Juneau and Seattle. In 1945, the fare was cut to $85, and it was dropped to $75 in 1946. ‘The new cut brings the fare to Dick, landed 700 pounds; slightly more than two-thirds the tire June 30. 41,600 LBS.

HIGHWAY CARNAGE EXPECTED (By the Associated Press) Memorial Day week-end accident deaths shot well above the 300 mark Sunday with a full day of driving and celebrating still to come. As usual traffic deaths were the greatest as an estimated 30,000,000 automobiles rolled over highways. There were 212 killed in traftic, 53 by drowning, and 60 in airplane accidents, fires and miscellaneous mishaps. The National Safety Council pre- dicted the number of deaths in traffic alone between 6 p.m. Friday and midnight tomorrow would reach 290. Tomorrow is expected to see the worst highway carnage. TAKU LODGE OPENS GALA SEASON; 18 GUESTS ON WEEKEND Taku Lodge, sporting haven for ourists, opened its twenty-seventh season over the past weekend, as i8 “pre-view” guests fished, went zlacier-prowling and got sunburned. Mr. and Mrs. Royal O'Reilly, co- owners of the Lodge, began their Jourth season at the resort by aking 16 guests from Juneau on their riverboat Redwing, with two others arriving by plane. The lodge can accomodate 35. With the O'Reillys iinis year is Jack Campbell, tormerly of San Francisco, who remained at the odge this winter, and raised two St. Bernard dogs, nowalmost at large as the Redwing, but with considerably more draft. Next to the O'Reilly’s brand of entertainment, well known for years to Juneauites, stands the ability of their new chef, Albert “Whitey” Earl, to keep everyone entertained. The music and fun stops only long enough for “chuck.” Earl, formerly head chef at the Hotel St, Regis in New York and the Hotel Sherman in Chicago, came to Alaska for a vacation and liked it so well decided to make it his home, He is a graduate of Cornell University, where he maj- ored in food and beverage man- agement. While several guests went fishing near the Canadian line, others went into Twin Glacier Lake, aad others to the famous Hole-in-th-Wall Glacier, which is moving ahead so fast, that it broke its speedometer during the winter. O'Reilly, as he took the Redwing into the glacier’s face for the’ first time since last October, found it was from one-quarter to one-half mile closer to the rivér, and its force had rolled up the earth be- fore it in enormouse folds. six to eight feet high. The phenomenon was examined a little too long by the curious visitors, and the outgoing tide put the Redwing out of her element. “Rescue” of the hungry 13 on board was affetced by O'Reilly and Cpl. Stanley B. Fisher of the Al- aska Communications Service, wlio treked barefoot three sloggy miles through the mudflats, in water sometimes ‘to their waists, to sig- nal the lodge to send an outboard motor boat for the waiting—and hungry—passengers. Names of those who attended the lodge's opening week-end are: A. C. Kuehl and George L. Colitzs of San Francisco; Regina A, Het- fleisch, Betty McCabe, Donna Walsh, Marie Louise Crowell, Marie Bond, Gladys Knight,» Edith N. Moore, Margaret Atkinson, Peg Currie, Archie Campbell, Edy Yet- ter, Dorothy Meyers, Mary Ann Stewart, Stanley B. Fisher, and Mr. and Mrs, William Krasilovsky.

MEMBER AS; SOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS ——y LIONS, BPW(C HEAR OF SERVICE WORK BY VFW AUXILIARY In two aspects, community serv- ice worl: of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars was presented today at a large luncheon in the Baranof Gold Room. Two na- tional officers told the story at the joint meeting of the Lions Club and the Business and Professional Women's Club. Mrs. Doris Holm, National Chap- lain, gave the overall picture, sup- ported by statistics from her handy “fact sheet.” Mrs. Bessie Hanken, Past National President and Na- tional Chairman for Hospital Serv- ice, told the human interest story behind one of the Auxiliary's most important projects. Mrs. Hanken represents the national Auxiliary president at the Alaska VFW de- partment conclave here. For background, Mrs. Holm told ‘that the VFW was founded 51 years ago and now has a membership ot one and one-half million men, and that the Ladies Auxiliary, 36 years old, has 375,000 members, whose 1,443 groups SpoNsor NUMErous com- munity service projects. These include the recent raising of $110,000 to replace buildings and equipment at the famous cancer re- search center, Jackson Memoria! Laboratory at Bar Harbor, Maine, which was destroyed by fire in 1947, and contributions of $50,000 to hospitals specializing in cancer work among children. Other large projects are in the fields of rehabilitation, American- ism, voluntary hospital work, youth activities and legislation. Summing up, Mrs. Holm pointed out that the Auxiliary hes raised and contrib- uted $2,7C0,000 besides annual uues, a part of which also goes Lo com- munity serv! Empnasis 12 on youth activities, of which the epitome is the National Home at Eaton Rapids, Mich., for widows and orphans of war vet- erans. Here, Mrs. Hanken took over to describe “the nearest thing in the United Statés to home life for or- phans.” Since 1824, the home has brought up 1,100 children. “And now we have 85 grandchildren!” Mrs. Hanken exclaimed, adding, “You see, most of the youngsters have no grandparents of their own.” The home is supported entirely by the annual red poppy sale, one penny of each flower going to the fund. “We are remembering the dead by helping these children,” Mrs. Hanken said. To mark the silver anniversary this year of the home, six children were sent to live in six countries and bring back six foreign children for a taste of American life this sum- mer. Mrs. Hanken will meet the dozen youngsters June 3 in New York City. “Nothing is more important than for children to grow up with an understanding of international af- fairs,” she commented. o The visitors were introduced by Mrs. John McCormick, chairman ot arrangements for the conference of the Ladies Auxiliary. Among other VFW Auxiliary visitors at the joint luncheon were Mrs. Cora Henson, president of the Anchorage Auxili- ary, and Mrs. Frances Milhoan of the same group, and Mrs. Gray Tilly and Mrs. Peggy Charlton of Fairbanks. Other guests were Misses Myrtie Wimer and Alice Manchester of Oakland, Calif.; Mrs. Nellie Smith of Wrangell, Miss Lynde Fales ot Juneau and Arthur Haupt, advance agent for Mitchell Cain, magician, who will appear heré in a Lion- sponsored performance. Opening the meeting, Lion Presi- dent Val Poor told how “the ladies, bless 'em” had let the men run the show at the last joint meeting; then he turned the gavel over to Mrs. Kate Smith, new BPW Club president. Mrs. Smith asked to be notified if any member of the BPWC could attend the national biennial con- vention July 2 to 5, inclusive, in San Francisco. Mrs. Bertha Ellinger already has been certified as one delegate from the Juneau club. Mrs. Smith made other club announce- ments, then said, “Now, so that the men can have the last word for a change, here is the gavel, -Mr. Poor.” President Poor called attention to an important board and committee meeting of the Lions Club, tonight at 7:30 o'clock in the Baranof Dog- house and made other announce- ments before adjourning the joint meeting.

ILWUWORKS ALASKALINE PICKET AS| Work Under Federal Re- straining Order, But Industry Widely Hit SEATTLE, May 29—M—Pickets fanned out over a wide area in ‘Western Washington today, holding up work on tenders and power scows of the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc. Picketing was by members of Local 7-C, International Longshore- men and Warehousgmen's Union (C10). However, Willlam Gettings, re- glonal director of the ILWU said longshoremen had been directed to work vessels of the Alaska Steam- ship Company, and cannery sup- » Plies were being received there this forenoon. A five-day temporary restraining order against picketing the Alaska Steamship Company, the Ames Ter- minals and Alaska docks was issued Saturday by U.S. District Judge John C. Bowen, in an action filed by the National Labor Relations Board. The judge ruled the picketing constituted secondary boycott. Pickets appeared for the first time today at the Alaska Packers on the waterfront. A roving picket boat was active on Lake Union. Other places being picketed in- cluded the San Juan Fishing Com- pany and the A. R. Brueger Stikine Fish Company in Seattle; the New England Fish Company in Everett; and the Pacific American Fisheries in Bellingham.
