RECREATION IS
DISCUSSED AT
CHAMBER TODAY
A lively discussion was touched
off by Pete Warner’s committee re
port on outdoor recreation at a
regular meeting of the Juneau
Chamber of Commerce at the
Baranof Hotel this noon.
Warner’s premise was that, since
the Chamber did not have funds
to carry on projects, its business
was to prod the various agencies
into "doing what they should,” to
correlate efforts and to create in
terest in the projects.

Dean Williams and Bob Boochever
! head the tennis section and are
! to encourage the City to improve
the tennis courts, Warner said. To
this Boochever added that another
backstop was needed. Mayor Waino
Hendrickson rose to report that the
steel and netting for the backstop’
.were here and would be put up
before tennis time, and that the
City had done all the work on
the courts. He also said that it
used to be, when something was
to be done, those interested would
come forth with volunteer labor but
now "everybody was too busy or
had to get paid for everything they
did," and if people wanted more
things done by the City, they'd have
to raise taxes. R. E. Robertson
said that $500 from the Judge Alex
ander Trust Fund had already been
spent on the courts.
The Rev. H. E. Beyer and Ed
Chester head the swimming pool
subcommittee. Chester reported that
tne Lions had raised $2,500 for the
project, that the City had $2,000
for it and to improve it right will
cost about $20,000.
Norman Banfield reported that
$9,€00 was tied up in a cemetery
fund and if someone could figure
out how to get it for a swimming
pool, it might be a good idea.
Other subcommittee heads are
Stall Grummett for golf, Joe Wern
er and Willjams for skiing.
Whether or not there will be a
trout derby this year remains to
be taken up. Warned reported.
Boochever made a plea for the
support of the current Red Cross
campaign and pointed to the en
larged activities of the organiza
tion due to the present emergency.
The cancer specialists scheduled
to be at the meeting today were
held in Petersburg due to weather j
and were not present. Dr. J. O.
Rude said he hoped they would
arrive today. Their services will
be available to those having pos
sible cancer symptoms and sug
gested that anyone wishing to con
sult with them make arrangements
through their own physician. They
will be at the Juneau Clinic. It
was also planned tor the specialists
to give lectures for the nurses,
medical profession and public here
if time permits.
Guests were R. H. Garauch and
T. P. Hansen of Union Oil Co.,
j George Ferguson, student at the
University of Alaska and M. F.
Kelly.

MRS. WILLIAM BRIT!
DIES IN BALTIMORE
Mrs. Sophia Britt, pioneer of
Alaska, died in Baltimore, Maryland,
last night at the home of her daugh
ter-in-law, Mrs. Jacob Britt with
whom she had been living for sev
eral months.
Daughter of the prominent Lind
family in Norway, Mrs. Britt came
to Skagway early in this century
as the bride of William E. Britt,
who had been a tutor in the fam
ily.
Their son Jacob was born in Skag
way w'here Mr. Britt wa sproprietor
of a drugstore and they lived in
the Lynn Canal town until they
came to Juneau in 1913, and Mr.
Britt started in business here. He
was a member of the Territorial
Legislature during several sessions.
Jacob Britt was appointed to An
napolis and followin his gradua
tion in 1929, Mrs. Britt, v.ho had ]
been in the East for her son
graduation from the United States
Naval Academy, went to Norway te i
visit her family. n
Mr. Britt, who had been Norweg-,
ian vice consul for Alaska, died in
an automobile accident in 1932.
Lt. Cmndr. Jacob Britt was Ju
neau’s first casualty in WorKl War
II. He was captain of the Asheville
which was lost in the South P: cific j
in March of 19t2.
Several year - ago. Mrs. Britt who ;
had continued to make her h >me in
Juneau, returned to Norway for a |
year’s visit with her family. After
her return to this country she lived |
in Seattle until last fall, when she
went east with her daughter-in-law j
to make her home and to be with
her voung grandson, Richard.
Loved by >•..* many :.denas in I
Skagway and Juneau where she
lived so many of her years in j
Alaska, Mrs. Britt has been missed
since her departure from the nor.h.
and their sympathy has been her’?
during the serious illnass fram she
has suffered for several year .
Word of Mrs. Eritt’s death wa"!
received from Mrs. Jacob Britt by>
Mrs. H. I. Lucas, her close friend
during many years. Mrs. Luca
learned by telegram several days
ago that Mrs. Britt had broken a
hip and the wire received this morn
ing by Mrs. Lucas of her death did
not reveal whether or not it was
caused by her recent injury.
TO IIOONAI1
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Templin have
arrived from Seattle on PAA en
route to their home at Hoonah.
They are stopping at the Baranof
Hotel.
CANCELLATION OF CURRY
CONTRACT IS EXPLAINED
Area Director Hugh J. Wade ol
the Alaska* Native Service ex
plained today the cancellation of
attorney contracts by Commis
sioner of Indian Affairs, Dillon S.
My er, announced by the Associated
Press Wednesday.
The Klawock contract, like the
two Apache Tribe contracts, was
with James E. Curry, an attorney
of Washington, D. C.
According to Wade a contract
for legal services with the Klawock
Association was entered into in
1947 and was later amended in
1950. The council that controls the
operation of the Klawock cannery
recently decided that the contract
for legal services imposed too
heavy a financial burden upon the
new cannery enterprise and that
the legal services for marketin''
products of the Association were
no longer needed.
“Under the terms of the con
tract the Klawock Association li; i
no legal authority to cancel the
contract on their own behalf," said
Mr. Wade. “However the contract
did centain a provision which per
mitted the Commissioner to cancel
the agreement for cause. The Kla
wock council thgrefore requested
tiir Commissioner to act in their
behalf.”
In commenting upon the Com
missioner’s action, Wade said that
In assumes the reason that the
Klawock council requested the ac
tion was because the cannery |iad
recently borrowed a considerable
s im ot money from the government
lor the purchase and operation of
the newly acquired cannery and
the Klawock people felt that with
tin.' indebtedness it was necessary
to economize.
Neither the Commissioner’s action
nor that of the cannery council
reflects any dissatisfaction with
Mr. Curry's services or his legal
„bility, Wade said. Curry has a con
i i t with the town of Klawock
which has been approved by the
Commissioner, according to Wade.
