PAGE EIGHT OLD FAVORITES, NEW ONES, SHOW ATH FIREWORKS Perennial favorites with the Ju-| neau 4th of July fireworks com- mittee are the 200 foot Moonlight Falls, the racing pigeons Y4 of them this year), and the spectacular row of candle batteries. All of these items have been made again this year, as well as several new set pieces, by Bill Barron, who is in charge of the construction of this part of the show, with the aid of other committee members. Barron also has designed a king- | size Whir Fantasi which is a most unusual fireworks piece. In addition he h prepared three large, matching progressive “foun- tain of youth” pieces which will burn simultaneously. All of the above features will be on the Mon- day night show, and in addition Pyrotechnist First Class Barron has prepared several smaller sets for the Tuesday show. Bill has been assisted in his work by Howard Baltzo ¢the Wildlife kid) and Bill Matheny ‘The entire fireworks under the project is chairmanship of Cleo Commers (Mayor of Vanderbilt Hil), and the entire committee wishes to again express their ap- preciation of the generous dona- tion of materials made by Juneau merchants i | | 37 LEAVE, 41 ARRIVE: ON ALASKA COASATL | Thursday's flights of Alaska Coastal Airlines brought 41 persons to Juneau and carried 37 from here to points in Southeast Alaska ' Coming here from Sitka were| Aaron Wise, Charlette Morgan, Mrs. | y and infant, Dr. J.

MARY'S SCHOOL, BABE RUTH'S HOME, CLOSING ITS DOORS BALTIMORE, June 30—(®—The house that buiit Babe Ruth and turned many an orphan and tough- | ie into good, solid Americans pa: out of existence today. St. Mary's Industrial School is closing its| doors. For 84 years—since 1866—the Catholic-sponsored school has taken into its grey walls boys who were motherless or tabbed as potential| law-breakers. But because the state has made other arrangements for its juven- ile problems, financial aid has been withdrawn. George Herman Ruth entered the school when he was seven because his father, a.saloonkeeper, thought his environment around his place listed as an incorrigible, but 'in later years you could never get the fathers at the school toagree. that he was.

[POPULATION OF ALASKA IS SET AT 130,000 NOW SEATTLE, June 30—{M—Alaska's census director predicted today the Territory's final population count will be about 130,000. Clarence Keating, who has re- |turned from 30 days in Washing- "mn‘ D. C., for census conferences, said the tentative figure now is | 128,000 including military { personnel. He predicted the tally |on residents who were outside Al- aska during the census will add |about 2,000, The 1940 census count about was 72,500. | Keating said the 1950 census proved that the count in the vast northern territory can be completed within the same period that it tekes in the s‘ates. In previous years it has started several months earlier in the north. “We did it in 90 days and in scme parts of the states it isn't complete yet,” the former legislator commented. He said the census shows nearly half of the Territory's populatior now is in the Third Division, which embraces the populous Anchorage area and extends out through the Aleutians, The old tradition of the dog team as a major factor in nose-counting in isolated areas of the far north is a fading one. The small airplane has supplanted the dogs in the cen- sus-taking. However, Keating said, there was | scme small use of dog transporta- tion. Mrs. Simeon Oliver, school teacher wife of the noted Eskimo concert pianist and author, used dogs in her travels in the Barrow region. One of the toughest spots in the census job was sparsely settled lit- tle Diomede Island, closest U. S. territory to Russian land. “I tried six days to get to the sland,” Keating said, “with a pilot from Nome. The wind was too trong to allow a landing on the tittle landing strip. Finally I left full instructions with the pilot and he got them through eventually to an island school teacher, who did the job.” Keating plans to fly to Juneau today. STORK CALLS TWICE, ST.

PARENTS GIVEN SPLIT CUSTODY OF 6-YEAR-OLD Split custody of their six-year-old son was awarded the divorced par- ants of Robert James Trend by Dis- | trict Judge George W. Folta in decision yesterday. The judge said that the boy may remain with his mother, now Mrs Pauline Sanders, in Juneau during the school year and that she must post $1,000 bond while the boy is with her. During summer vacation periods, he may go to his father, Cecil Treend, in Dallas, Tex. The father must post $2,500 bond.
