Tom Stewart Will
Head Juneau Skiers
A large turnout of the Juneau
Ski Club met for the first time
this season in the (Sold Room of
the Baranof Thursday night, for the
purpose of electing new officers and
to make plans for the year. Tom
Stewart was elected president, Bill
pean, vice-president, and Marjorie
Wentworth, secretary-treasurer.
After a general discussion, it was
decided to go ahead with plans for
obtaining a snow tractor and to
continue efforts to improve both
the second and third hill areas. All
efforts of the Ski Club this year
however, will by general agreement,
be centered around the eventual
use and popularity of the third
cabin area.
Committees for various social
events and fund raising campaigns
&s well as wood cutting details will
be announced soon.
Speakers at Taku
Toastmasters' Meet
'Accomplished'
The Toastmasters Club, at Its
regular meeting in the Gold Room
Thursday night, was entertained by
a group of four "accomplished”
speakers, the principal orator be
! ing Dr. John H. Clements. His
subject. 'A Little Ray of Sunshine,"
no doubt had great possibilities but
inasmuch as the audience derived
obvious enjoyment in carrying out
a planned heckling campaign, John’s
problem in overcoming the speaker's
greatest obstacle was magnified be
[ yond the fondest expectations ol
J those present.
Hunt Gruening, as Topicmaster
asked for volunteers to discuss thf
question, “Do you believe that tne
status of mankind, in terms of hap
piness, is better today than 50 years
ago?" The response was gratifying
I and the answers varied.
Wes Overby, Toastmaster for the
i evening, introduced the speakers
j on the program which, in addition
1 to Dr. Clements, included Joe Mc
Lean (the club’s number one "Post
toastie”) who chose as his subject,
"The Klepper Aerius;” John Graf
who spoke on "Truth is stranger
i than fiction;” and Irvin Curtis,
the Impromptu speaker of the eve
ning, who emphasized the reason
for fire prevention week with a short
; speech on "How we can best foil
the fire fiend.”
Chief Critic was Floyd GuertlR
assisted by A. F. Ghiglione, Comdr.
E. Hawley, Gene Vuille, and Pete
Warner. Fred Dunn had charge of
j the department concerned with the
! “Kings” English.
Bishop William J. Gordon, Jr,
is a guest at the Baranof.

Tax Bill
Boosts
Everything
(Continued from Page One*
statute books in September, 1950;
a $3,900,000 000 excess profits tax
act in January, 1951.
The individual income tax in
creases arc integrated Into the
regular bracket rates. A* a re
sult of rounding off the figures to
produce even numbers in the
rates, the increase for most tax
payers actually varies from 111 a
percent to about 12 percent.
The net increase in individual
tax liabilities was estimated at
$2,480,000,000 and the excise tax
boost at $1,204,000,000. Some of the
miscellaneous provisions of the bill
will result in loss of revenue to the
Treasury.
The excise (sales tax) increases
go into effect Nov. 1, if President
Truman signs the bill by Oct. 21.
Sales Tax
They include the following in
creases ;
Whiskey and other spirituous
liquor, from $9 to $10.50 a 100-proof
gallon, or about 26 cents a fifth
for ordinary liquor. Beer from $8
a barrel to $9. Wine taxes up an
average of 121 •• percent.
Cigarette taxes increase from 7
cents a pack to 8. "the tax on
chewing and smoking tobacco goes
down, however, from 18 to 10 cents
a pound.
Gasoline tax up from 1 Vi to 2
cents.
The excise tax increases are to
remain in effect until April 1, 1954,
when the rates are supposed to go
back to the present level—provided
Congress doesn't change its mind.
Auke Bay Legion

other members of the community,
Last week, a considerable amount of

turned out to assist in the work
and all are invited to participate.
Legion auxiliary members will fur
