Lions Have National
Guard Program Today
The Lions Club luncheon meet

briefly and some business was
transacted.
Jack Shepard was program chair
man and introduced Lt. Col. D. W.
Dean who presented seven members

The second part of the program
was a movie film depicting the
development and history of the Na

take relief to stricken communit

useful in civilian life.

perty near the small boat harbor
for a skating rink.
He said that it had been suggest
ed that experiments be made to
see if the depression would hold
water and that City of Juneau of
ficials be contacted to see about
night lighting of the area.

represent the club at a Teen Age'
Council meeting Thursday night.
Acting President A1 Ransome said
that no meeting would be held- next!
