CONSTRUCTION TO
START THIS FALL ON
MEMORIALUBRARY
Ground for the Juneau Memorial
Library will be broken within a
jew weeks, if the necessary tech
nicalities take the usual time, John
Argetsinger said today.
As Alaska Public Works regional
engineer, Argetsinger sent his con
tract award recommendation to the
Washington, D. C., headquarters
today, and he hopes lor approva
wlthm a week. Then the agree
ment with the City must be signed
the actual- contract awarded an
bonds executed.
Argetsinger recommended that
the award be to Trlplette and Dal
ziel, Juneau construction firm, low
bidder for the contract, and that
the construction include develop
ment of the basement.
The Trlplette and Dalziel bid
was for $123,550, which is only $5!
more than the Public Works engin
eering estimate.
At the bid-opening Wednesday
a T and D representative said.
"We could start the work tomcriow
morning.”
B. Frank Heintzleman, chairman
of the Memorial Library Committee,
said "The Trlplette and Dalziel
bid is very satisfactory to the
board. This firm put up the Air
port Terminal building of which
the people of Juneau are justi
fiably proud.”
Heintzleman continued, “Certain
ly again, we of the committee
want to thank all the people of
Juneau who contributed to the
fund. We are about to realize a
dream of 30 years—well, even more
than that, as it began in 1916.
-We would b? especially appre
ciative if those with pledges will
start making payments.
“This construction cost will leave
some money for furnishings, al
though not enough. We notice
that quite a few families in town
who, we believe, might be ex
pected to contribute to a public
library’, have not done so. We
should like them to consider con
tributions to help pay for the
furnishings.”
Besides the approximate cost oi
the site, *10,000, the Library fund
Includes *72,000 In contributions to
date of cash and pledges, and ap
proximately *70,000 as grant-ln-aid
from the Alaska Public Works.
B. D. Stewart and Dr. James C.
Ryan are the other members of
the Juneau Memorial Library Com
mittee.

Ross Madden Tells
Soroptimisfs of
Picture-Stories
Free lance photographer and writ
er Ross Madden told members of the
Soroptimlsts at their luncheon meet
ing yesterday that aspiring writers
could find the most interesting
stories in their own back yards. Then
he tempered his statement by saying
that he knew of three unwritten
stories in his home town in Montana,
that he realized the attraction of
distant places, and that, in fact, is
his reason for being in his profes
sion. He like:; to travel.
With the development of the
printing press, the telling of stories
in pictures became a lost technique,
Mr. Madden said, until the German
picture magazines started in the
1920s. When conditions in Germany
became intolerable to some of the
picture journalists, they left for
other European countries and many
ater became staff members of Look
and Life when those magazines were
slaved with the idea of applying
American practice to the publication
„f the story-picture magazines such
as those that had been developed
n Germany.
There are three or four hundred !
free lance photographers and re
porters in the country who work for
themselves or on special assign
ment from national publications
whose primary purpose is to find
events and people, of. interest that
will lend themselves to stories, Mad- j
den said.
The nationally-known photogra- !
pher has completed the Ladies Home [
Journal assignment that ■ brought1
him to Alaska early this month, and j
left Friday to cover picture stories j
for the New York Times, Time and ,
Life magazines at the Westward, m j
Fairbanks and at Pt. Barrow.
The Soroptimists meeting was pre
sided over by Dr. Grace Field,
newly elected president of the Ju- ;
neau group.
Dr. Field called for a meeting of j
the board of directors of the club ;
Tuesday noon at the Baranof.
