Dr. John Geyer gave highlights of the drive he and Mrs, Geyer took to the Interior, primarily for the dental convention in Anchorage. ‘They drove nedrly 2,000 miles and were surprised at the large amount of paving, “After 30 years in Alaska, it seemed about time I saw some move | of it,” said Geyer, “but I'll take Southeast!™ Others speaking briefly were John Nyman, U. S. Labor Depart- ment wages and hours inspector, who had covered the Bristol Bay cannery area as well as Anchor- age and Fairbanks; ROy Peratro- vich, who vacationed in and near Seattle—and. even the Rev. A. B. (Ben) Morgan, who is sun-tanned from “pitching hay while the sun shines—what else?” Lions rose for a moment of sil- ence im respect to the memory ot Lion Harry Sperling, who had been one of the most active members of the Juneau club and was basketball , chairman for the past several years. Guests included the Rev. Laurence Nevue of the Mt. Edgecumbe Lions Club; Severin Ulmer of Washing- ton, D.
