ANDREW NERLAND
TESTIMONIAL DINNER
3E HONORED GUEST
A testimonial dinner honoring
Andrew Nerland, 12 times member
of the Territorial legislature and
17 years on the Board of Regent:
of the University of Alaska, will
be given next Wednesday evening,
February 28, at 7 p. m., under the
sponsorship of the University of
Alaska Alumni Association, Gastin
eau branch.
The dinner will be held in the
Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel.
Members of the legislature, their
ladies and the public are invited,
according to Harold Gronroos,
President of the Gastineau branch
of the Alumni Association. Tickets
may be obtamed from Harold Gron
roos, Leo Saarela, Senator Howard
Lyng, Senator Frank Barr, Repre
sentative George W. Gasser, Repre
sentative Alden Wilbur and Repre
sentative Glen Franklin. Tickets are
also obtainable at the desk of the
Baranof Hotel.
"Few citizens have devoted more
energy to the public good than has
Andrew Nerland, long-time legisla
tor and president of the University
Board of Regents," said Gronroos.
Mr. Nerland was appointed to the
Regents in 1928 and has been presi
dent cf the Board for the past
17 years.
“The Alumni of the University
wish to honor Mr. Nerland for his
years of unselfish service for the
good of the Territory and the Uni
versity by this testimonial dinner,"
Gronroos said.
Mr. Nerland is regarded as the
legislative father of the University,
as he sponsored the bill in 1917 that
provided $60,000 for the establish
ment of a College of Agriculture
and School of Mines. Mi>. Nerland
did not run for the 1919 legislature
and no appropriation was made for
the college. So Nerland ran again,
and the 1921 legislature appro
priated $42,000 to complete the
buildings, hire a president, a faculty
and open the doors to students.
Since then Mr. Nerland has kept
an active interest in the growth
and progress of the University.
Mr. Nerland was a member of the
Territorial Senate five times, one
time president of the senate, wa:
seven times member of the House,
including a term as Speaker.
He is a Past Grand President oi
the Pioneers of Alaska and a 32
degree Mason.
Guests at the Testimonial dinnei
next Wednesday evening will in
clude Dr. T:erris Moore, president
of the University, and Mrs. Moore
who will be Juneau visitors at the
time. Dr. Moore will be here on
official business as well as renew
ing his acquaintanceship with mem
bers of the Juneau Ice Reconnais*
sance Party with whom he ha.<
climbed mountains in Tibet, Canada
and Europe.
A BIRD WAS THE
CAUSE OF IT ALL;
THAT BLACKOUT
The unscheduled electrical black
out last Sunday night was caused
by a bird — a large bird, judging
by the amount of feathers scattered,
workmen who went to Annex Creek
reported.
The large bird had lit on the line
causing a short which blew out an
insulator — and blew up the bird.
Similar incidents involving little
birds have occurred before, but this
is the first time a large bird got
into the act.
'IMPROVED PHONE

own telephone system within a short
time, it was revealed last night by
George F Cantillon, chairman of
the barrel of directors of the Auk
Bay Public Utilities District anc
Commander of the Auk Bay Post ol
The American Legion.
Cantillon, meeting with the Leg
on Executive Committee, said that
negotiations are now in progress
between the Auk Bay P.U.D. am
the U. S. Forest Service for the
P.U.D. purchase of existing tele
phone facilities to that area. Hi
said that no difficulties nre anti
cipated and that the official trans
fer is expected shortly.
He explained, however, that i
will be some time before the servicr

be only on a limited basis to include
a system of strategically locator
pay phones throughout the area. Ir
the meantime, a number of pole
will be replaced and the old service
to the two Auk Bay stores will b(
restored as soon as possible. At

Legion would be called on to fur
iish volunteer labor in the replace
ment of pole.,. The Executive Com

It will be impossible to complete

way this summer.
New Post Approves
Cantillon had further good news
for Auk Bay residents. He also
mentioned that preliminary nego
tiations are now under way to con
struct a fishing boat float at Auk
Bay and expressed the opinion that
possibilities for this project are
good. Two locations are under con
sideration both requiring extension
of a present facility. The P.U.D. is
expected to participate in their op
eration.
The Executive Committee was also
informed that a post building site
has been located and will be ac
