LITTLE HOPE FOR SMALL
BOAT HARBOR NOW
Acoordiinig to word brought
to the Sitka Chamber of Com
merce by Joe Ashby, following
a Visit he made to Gen. Foote
of the U. S. Army Engineers,
there is little hope for a small
boat harbor for Sitka in the
immediate future.
At the Friday luncheon of
the Chamber. Mr. Ashby report
ed Gen. Foote had said there
was too much organized opposi
tion to he harbor and the cost
was going urn too high. Gen.
Foote advised Mr. Ashby that
Sitka petition the bureau of en
gineers and bureau of budget
for a new survey; also that an
alternate site be selected or a
site to which there were no ob
jectionis. This procedure nor
mally would require 2 to 3
years, the General said, but
nrighi foe speeded up a foit.
In other business at the lun
ch eln Fred Van Horn and Ev
ent t Calhoun, volunteered to
aid the Salvation Army by tak
ing a turn at handling heir
Christmas kettle on Dec. 17.
Mr. Van Horn reported Bis
hop Aimvros'sev had returned
from a meeftitig w'lfth officials
of the Russian Church in New
serving with the Alaska Com
mumkraition System at Sitka.
After a motor tmilp to the
west coast, the young couple
I flew to Sitka, where they are
making their home.

York City and thiait while Lin
coln Street property owned by
the church could not be sold,
it could be leased for a long
■ term. However, revenue so de
! rived would go to the church,
not the restoration fund of St.
Michael’s.
However, a brighter financi
al note was Ms report the Bis
hop had raised $500 for the
fund While in the ststaes, which
added to the $300 on hand gave
a to.al of $800 in cash -and $700
in pledges, or $1,500. This will
be used to start work on the
porch, which is badly in need
of repair.
Revised estimate of the cost
of renewing the porch, roof,
heating and wiring systems re
duced cost from $20,000 to $10
000 to $12,000.
Mr. Ashby, who told the mem
bers of revisiting his home
town after an absence of 20
years, also spoke of visiltiWg
with Kenjii IM of the Daid'o
Lines in Portland. Mr. Iki re
ported there was still some $20
000,000 to be raised for firaanc
:ng of the pulp mill here, but
that a larger sum had already
been secured.

are better than ever, from their
rapid fire, and sleight of hand

thiils proud club makes victory
their immediate goal in an ef

they find time during the con

include most anything as the
players are impromptu artists.
They’ll spin the ball on their

Still the Giants never inten

are done in a subtle and cute
fashion that even opposing play
