HOSPITALITY HERE
_ I
In behalf of the members of the j
Klukwan Basketball team, which |
participated in the Lions Club an- j
nual Gold Medal Tournament,,
William Sparks, manager, expresses;
their appreciation of the hospital-;
ity shown to them in Juneau in the j
following letter:
"We are strangers in the Gold
Medal Basketball Tournament and
we want to thank the Lions Club
for giving us the opportunity to1
take part in this tournament,
which was a good experience.
"We hail from the Chilkat Val-j
ley, twenty-two and one half miles
from Haines on the Alaska High
way. It is isolated from other towns
and it is difficult for other teams
to visit us or for us to visit them
due to winter weather conditions
on Lynn Canal. We have enjoyed
our contact with members of the
teams taking part in the tourna
ment.
“Now we wish to extend our
appreciation of thanks to the fol
lowing families who entertained
us at dinner in their homes, Mr.
and Mrs. George Stevens, Mr. and
Mrs. William Nigh. Mr. and Mrs.
Cyrus E. Peck and also the Alaska
Native Sisterhood and Brotherhood

ment, don’t just say "I want it dry
cleaned.” Say “Cravenette,” too. This
will tell us that you also want these
garments treated with “Cravenette*
water repellents. When you get this
service your garments will protect
you, rain 01 shine; what's more they
will keep their shape better and wear
longer. Try this extra service once and
you will want it all the time with these
