PAGE EIGHT + GOOD CITIZEN TOM MORGAN HONORED, TEEN AGE CLUB HERE Tom Morgan, Juneau business- man, was honored as the second recipient of the Tenn Age Club's Good Citizenship' Award during a regular teen age weekly broadcast at KINY last night In conferring the honor, Joe Nin- nis, co-president of the Teen Agers, said: “Every once in awhile, we teen agers select some person to honor with what we call our good citizenship award, The man woman chosen must be one who ha: proven outstanding as a citizen of this commi! d also one whe has been a ¢ ally true friend to its young people. We've previousiy honored only one other person this way, but tonight we wish to make the award to a second man who cer- tainly richly deserves it.” Ninnis then pointed out that Mor- gan had been a generous friend to the Teen Age Club, that he could always be counted on to help in every good cause, and concluded with, “And because we think you are one of the very finest people in the whole Territory;'our Teen. Age Club is very proud to pay you this compliment, naming yeu,for.its good citizenship award.” The program was dedicated to the cancer drive for Alaska, of which Morgan is chairman. Also present, as moral support for the pleased and somewhat em- barrassed Morgan, was Elmer Friend who received the first good citizen- ship award made by the Teen Age Club.

Last year they made 174 round- trip voyages to Alaska—averaging . more than three per week through- out the year—providing the dependable water transportation necessary to the growth and development of the Territory. Large ports and small portsalike find vessels of the Alaska Steam- ship Company as frequent visitors s . . because only The Alaska Line serves all Alaska. To meet the demanding require-’ ments for adequate water transpor- tation service takes experienced people, complete facilities and a willingness to do the whole job.
