The Juneau office of the War
Assets Administration, serving the
needs of the Southeastern area of
Alaska, will be permanently closed
on June 25. All future sales in
Southeastern Alaska will be con
ducted by traveling sales crews
from the Regional Offfice at An
chorage.
This action, announced by D. R.
Wilson, WAA regional director, is
due to a decrease in surplus prop
erty stocks in Juneau and vicinity,
and indications that the declaring
agencies will not declare a great
deal more property as txcess to
their needs in that area.
Traveling* sales crews, author
ized to take care of all matters
pertaining to sales, veterans’ cer
tifications, and government agen-1

the time property is being offered
for sale in that area. All future

MIDNIGHT SUN
BALL GAME
Tic baseb: 11 game, between ih»
Officers and the All Stars at e
Air Base this past Sunday mo •>
ing, which started at midnigh'.
Saturday night, was well received
by the personnel of the Base and
tlie citizens of Nome. The game,
which was well attended, pro
vided much excitement and fun
•for all.
Of course, that first inning
when the All Stars were at bat,
proved disastrous for the Officers
in the final tally of runs. It seems
the Officers had a little trouble
seeing, or was it finding, the bail
during that first inning, but after
becoming accustomed to the semi
darkness that prevailed the Offi
cers held their own and gave the
All Stars a very tough game.
With the addition of a little
rain, the game ended with as
much fun had by the spectators
as was enjoyed by the players.
Alaska sales will be given wide
publicity throughout the Territory
by means of newspaper advertis
ing.
