and a half million members to fi

policy-makers must choose be

Search For Missing
Hunter A Failure
JUNEAU, (/P) — The largest
searching party ever organized in
this area has returned from Ad
miralty Island without finding a
trace of Martin Brandall, well
known Juneau fisherman who
vanished Nov. 5 on a hunting trip.
Brandall disappeared after tak
ing two companions, Nels Ander
son and Harry Stephenson, to the
island in his fishing boat, the
Avona. They went ashore at Point
Hepburn in the morning, agreeing
to meet at the beach in the early
afternoon. Brandall never appear
ed. Beach fires and rifle firing
were fruitless.
More than 50 men responded to
a call for searchers. The party
combed the area for six days. Men
searched the large area of muskeg
and windfalls almost at arms
length, covering a strip a mile
wide and 20 miles long. They nev
er found even a footprint of the
missing man.
Authorities said Brandall may
have returned to his boat before
the o*hers and drowned in some
unexplained manner. However, a
search of beaches failed to reveal
any clues.
Brandall, a man in his mid-fif
ties, has a wife and two children
at Juneau.
Rotary Club president has an
nounced that due to the fact that
regular Rotary meeting day falls
on Thanksgiving, the weekly
luncheon will be held on Friday,
November 26th.
