OBSERVANCE OF
FLAG DAY HELD
BY JUNEAU ELKS
Stressing that freedom has been
obtained only through unity and
that Russia will, if necessary, go
ta war with the United States in
1953 to accomplish her aims. Cel.
J. D. Alexander last night deliver
ed the keynote speech at the Flag
Day ceremonies of the Elks, Juneau
Lodge No. 420, at the Elks auditor
ium.
Col. Alexander showed that the
United States has survived through
the unity of her people beginning
with the first people to settle on
our shores from England. He traced
our cohesiveness down through two
world wars.
‘The Soviet plan contemplates
step by step advances with all-out
war with the U. S. being one of
the major steps with an alternate
plan offering peace to U.S. as means
cf keeping us out of West Europe or
the Far East. This latter plan
would effectually prevent the unity
of those freedom loving nations we
are now striving to unite,” he said.
Cel. Alexander is the Acting Ad
jutant General of Alaska and the
i Senior Army Instructor for the Al
aska National Guard.
The history of the flag was given
by Past Exalted Ruler F. Dewey 1
Baker assisted by the guard of
; honor from the Headquarters,
Headquarters and Service Co., 208
Infantry Battalion (Sep.), Alaska
National Guard. The guard of hon
or presented the various flags that
have at one time been the stand
ards of the U. S.
Musical numbers were by Carol .
Beery Davis, Dorothy Ebbett, Fran
i ces Paul and Norman Lister.

NEW CHAIRMAN OF !
SOAP BOX DERBY
With the departure of Chairman!
Milt Daniel for Ihe states, a new,
chairman was appointed by the
Juneau Rotary club, in the person j
and character of Bill Leivers, who
I claims he doesn’t know anythin?
about a Soap-Box Derby, but will
carry on being that Milt laid Ihe
foundation before he left.
About 31 boys have signified th'ir
intention to build a car for the derby
which is to be run off Sunday after
noon, July 22. The members of the
committee are busy checking with
the boys to see how they are progres
sing in the construction of their
cars. So far there are 12 racers to be
built in Class A; 12 in Class B and
7 in Class C. As soon as a report is
turned in, this column will give the
names of these All-American racers.
It is also expected that the Rotary
club at Sitka will have contestants
in the field, because they have sent
over for six sets of the official
wheels, steering gear and brake as
semblies. which will go forward by
Alaska Coastal Airlines when pack
ed for shipment. Haines also has
ma4e-inquiry as to the requirements
for entering the race. First thing
this will be a Southeast Alaska der
by. Fine, the more the merrier.
One thing that is lagging behind
is that of securing sponsors for am
bitious boys. If any reader of this
column would like to join in this
worthy enterprse — that of encour
aging sportsmanship, a competitive
spirit and affording these boys an
opportunity to develop their creative
genius, you are urged to contact the
chairman of this Empire-Rotary
club sponsored race and take on a
boy. You cannot help him build
i the car, but you can keep a super
visory eye on the project and give
him advice when he needs it, says
Leivers.
The committee is considering using
11th street for the race this year,
but this will be definitely decided
when the trial runs are made when
the cars are practically completed.

CLUB MEMBERS
MAKE TOUR OF
JUNEAU GARDEN!
The weather co-operated with
the Juneau Garden Club by holding
off the rain while the club mem
Lers made their annual tour of
local flower gardens Wednesday
afternoon. Although it seems to be
an in-between season at this time,
the spring bulbs having passed their
prime and the perennials being
slowed up by the cold weather,
many lovely spots of bloom were
found.
Particularly interesting were some
new shrubs in the yard of Mrs.
Henry Green, with indoor inspec
tion of her gqrgeous African vio
lets and the most unusual tropical
vine “lioya” with its pink blossoms,
waxy on the outside and velvety
when fully opened; the display of
tulips and flaming azalea in Mrs.
Earle Hunter's garden; the dwuri
iris and native rock garden plants |
of Mrs. Harry Stonehouse; the new,
greenhouse and well-weeded peren
nial borders of Mrs. Charles For
ward; the apple tree blooms and
primroses of Mrs. Otto Benecke.
The lateness of the hour prevented
visits to the yards of other well
Ifnnu/n irnrrienprs.
Following the dessert luncheon
served by the hostess, Mrs. Ver
non Harris, assisted by Mrs. J. M.
Devinney, the regular business
meeting was held with the presi
dent, Mrs. Ray Renshaw in the
Chair. Mrs. Maxcine Williams re
ported on the very successful plant
sale recently held, and Mrs. Helen
Hixson called attention to the
availability of extra yearbooks. Mrs.
Hixson also asked for volunteers to
type in standardized form the gar
dening articles for the scrapbook.
Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Renshaw vol
unteered to serve as new committee
members to assist Mrs. Stonehouse
in the care of the 12th Street plot.
Pamphlets on Gardening in Alas
ka were received from the Univer
sity Extension Service and it was
announced that more could be ob
tained from Miss Hallene Price in
the Shattuck Building. Mesdames
Williamson, Sorenson, Callahan,
Rogers and Nordling were guests
of the club.

CHINESE REDS
PLAN B LD-UP,
CONQUER WORLD
By Associated Press
A prominent European emerged
from Red China today, quoting the
Communists as telling him:
"We’re not afraid of the atom
bomb. We're going to lick the Amer
ican Army and then — with Rus
sia _ we’re going to conquer th<
world in two years.“
The European cannot be named
because his business still operate:
in Red China. He says this state
ment was made to him last fall, and
at the time he was puzzled. But
next thing he knew, the Chinese
Reds burst into the Korean war.
This European has spent the past
five years in Canton. And there, hi
says, all evidence points to a great
Red buildup for war.
