PARADE PRIZES
Bela Sigs, Mendenhall 4
H, Take Big Money
for Floats
“Neptune’s Daughters." In the
comely persons of Jacque Fisher
and Frances Paul, guarded by tri
dent-armed royalty. Jennie Rusher,
rode the winning float in yester
day's Fourth of July parade, to give
Beta Sigma Phi Sorority the $250
award for the most beautiful float
in the 1950 event.
Hours had been spent by many
other attractive young women in
the non-academic sorority in the
design, construction, painting and
placing of the unusual undersea
setting for the glamorous mer
maid models.
Second prize of $100 for the most
beautiful float, in yesterday morn
ing's traditional event went to
Moose Lodge No. 700 for the ap
pealing entry. "House of God"—in;
other words, Mooseheart—symboliz
ing "Peace on earth, good will to
men.” In the Mooseheart setting
with the kneeling children—Judy
Francis and Nicky Card—was Mrs.
Lottie Auld.
For the most original float, the
Mendenhall 4-H Club is $200 the
richer, a fine "home demonstration"
including "lazy farmers” Billy
Gaines and Russell Nelson; the
not-so-lazy calf. Ferdinand II, Mr.
Scarecrow and these 4-H'ers on
the truck driven by Arnold Maier:
Allen Jenkins, Alvin Bean, Duane
Reddekop, Richard Gaines, Joe
Pedersen of the Minfield School,
Bill Bean, Johnny Epan. Jackie
MacKinnon and John Tanner.
Bill Gaines is president of this
4-H Club which was organized only
three months ago. Duane owns the
rooster named "Mr. Oldroyd,” and
the rabbit, “Lydia,” belongs to
Jackie.
Second honors for the most or
iginal float—and $75 prize money—
was awarded the Filipino Com
munity. This elaborate display
featured charming young girls in
native costume representing the ]
three groups of islands in a picture
portraying the Philippine Islands
Independence Day and American
Independence Day.
For the most patriotic entry—
and $150- the Juneau Lions Club j
won the prize, with their “live”
picture of “The Spirit of ’76.”
The laugh’er of the large crowd
massed on Juneau's downtown
streets confirmed the judges’ award
of $75 for the most comical float
—the entry of the Legion of the
Moose. Burning, dripping candles
for headlights, an old lantern as
tail-light and noisy combustion an
important feature, this ancient
automotive vehicle brought lauglis
from start to finish of the parade.
Riding in the Ford of the early
'20's were Miss Katherine Bavard
and Harvey Hildre. Grant Bald
win was the passenger In back.
With Mr. and Mrs. Bob LaJole
in the cab and young Ricky tend
ing the beautiful "live" garden, the
Juneau Florists entry was a natural
for the first prize of $50 in the
decorated car classification.
Second prize of $25 went to
"Dunking with Druxman." which
showed the indefatigable two-hour
marathon broadcaster lying in ease
land blue-striped pajamasi while
telling the Juneau world about a
smile and an umbrella. (Incident
ally, Bob Druxman wore out one
recording of his theme song during
the parade.)
Doubtless the mast, comfortable
participant in the parade—note the
gallon coffee pot, the bed of ease—
Druxman was piloted to the ball
iark by his wife, Rose E. Druxman.
There, the pajama-clad figure was
pressed into service, with his loud
speaker, to announce the prize
winners. greatly to the benefit of
hose in the stands awaiting the
.ace program.
There was no third prize in this
classification.

So many and so varied were
;he individual entries in the junior
category that three conscientious
judges were hard put to make the

Associated Press Correspondent j
Tom Lambert reported from Taejon.
that reporters in the field saw'
thousands of South Korean soldiers

made their first contact with the
Communist invaders. The soldiers
fled down the highways from the
! hills and through the rice paddies,
j rushing railway stations for trains
! heading southward.
I Most of them still carried smail
arms weapons. Some looked as if
j they were withdrawing in orderly
fashion, but there were ,hundredi
who obviously were stragglers and
not under discipline.
Along the highway south from
the front, traffic congestion was
almost indescribable. Troops were
riding every sort of conveyance—
bicycles, jeeps, trucks, buses and
tractors.

lations Board election last year.
The strike is expected to tie up
the 3,500-ton Neva, one of the
largest floating cannery and freezer
ships in the world. The ship was
converted by Pacific American

$650,000. It was scheduled to sau
next Saturday from Bellingham for

weeks the settlement of picketing
by a CIO Longshoremen-affiliated
union against Bristol Bay opera
tions, which are the first of the sea
son in the north.

picket plants in Alaska immediately.
The Maritime Trades Council of
the Washington State Federation of

striking union. E. M. Weston, fed
eration president, said the federa
tion executive board would move to
support the strike Friday at a
meeting in Tacoma.

engaged in ship conversion work
