CLEAN-UP FEVER
HITS JUNEAU WITH
SPLENDID WEATHER
Paint-up, clean-up, renovate fev
er has hit Juneau along with the
inspiring weather of the past few
days.
Storeowners are renovating, mov
ing and painting. Housewives are
house-cleaning and rearranging
furniture. New paint is observed on
residences. Yard cleaning and refuse
burning is underway. Even the Cub
Scouts have joined in the spontan
eous program.
The Juneau Bakery opened its
attractive retail store yesterday
morning in part of the former loca
tion on Front street. Flowers from
local and national firms almost
filled the place. A new green tile
and glass block front with an angle
display window forms the front.
Inside two-tone raked fir blocks,
make a neat background for shelves
of pastries. A side door opens into
Juneau Drug.
Progress has been delayed on tile
floor and fixtures to complete the
enlargement of the Juneau Drug,
but it is expected to be completed
next week with counters arranged
for self-service. In addition to a
special prescription room, an outlet
for a rear freight entrance is ar
ranged with full basement and par
tial upstairs stockroom space.
A fancy front with large display
windows will be revealed next week
by Hudson's Shoe Store in its new

ago.

his display cases and booths and
added a new counter.
Lu-Ek's is cleaning up and paint- |
ing up with some reayangements
and new stock fixtures.
Work is progressing on a new
concrete sidewalk on Second street
at the Alaska Electric Light and
Power Co. The city broke up and
hauled away the old sidewalk last

which delayed laying the concrete.
The power company is installing
the walk.
A dozen Cub Scouts of Dens 3
and 5 in the neighborhood of the
deadend of Fifth street and their
small friends took over the project
of cleaning up the end of the street

LIONS HEAR, SEE
Col. Joe Alexander, Director of
Civilian Defense for the Territory
of Alaska, spoke to Douglas Lions
last evening at their regular meet
ing held in Mike’s Place. Col. Alex
ander came to the pieeting as a
visitor along with several other lead
ing Juneau Lions members, but was
asked by President Edwin Johnson
to bring the club up to date on
Civilian Defense.
Col. Alexander stated that the i
recent maneuver, ‘'Firestep,” was to
test the Army and Civilian Defense
in critical areas. That the first
blackout of Juneau-Douglas was not
good due to several conflicting
causes, but he stated that the last
one held on April 14, was excellent.
However, he said there was much
more to Civilian Defense than black
outs and alerts. He named and ex
plained the following seven points:
Mutual aid and local support; fire
services and auxiliary firemen; com
munications and their functions;
law enforcement and police duties;
health and medical services, includ
ing first aid stations and hospital
services, and evacuation and dis
persion. He asked that all commun
ities be ready and able to withstand
attack by the enemy by next Octo
ber. He said October was not a date
when an expected attack was forth
coming, but rather was a date set
by higher officials as a goal for the
Civilian Defense committees to work
towards. Another visiting colonel,
Col. John Noyes of the Alaska Road
Commission, stated that he hadn’i
visited Douglas very often‘since his
first visits here in the old ferryboat
days, but that after attending the
Lions meeting here with Mike’s
famous menu of chicken, he would
see more of Douglas in the future.
President Johnson announced
several committees and appointed

YOUR LIFE
INSURANCE...
Calvin Coolidge, former Pres
ident of the United States and
then a member of the Board of
Directors of the New York Life
Insurance Company up tp the
time of his death, once said:.
“I urge every father and
mother as they are interested in
the future of their children to
see that they are taught the pur
pose and value of life insurance.
Parents should help their child
ren to take out policies at as
early an age as possible. Taking
out such policies and then turn
ing them over to the children as
soon as they are self-supporting
starts them out in life with a
real value and assists them in
acquiring early a sense of re
sponsibility and habit of saving
which will help them throughout
their lives.”

daughter this advantage —
