and Mrs. Art MacKinnon.
Upon them was bestowed the De

ber's community and local chapter.
Only two other Juneau women be
fore them have been so honored —
Mrs Charles Carter, who won the
first medal and Mrs. E. J. Dull.
The ceremony at which the Decor
ation of Chivalry is given is im
pressive and colorful. One hundred
and fifty Patriarchs Militant took
part in the drill and crossed-swords
marching preceding the Juneau wo
men's presentation. Twenty-three
women from the State of Wash
ington received the honor and one
other Alaskan, a woman from Fair

appointed district, deputy president
of the Juneau lodge.
Before returning to Juneau Mrs.
Melver visited friends in and around
Seattle. Mrs. Jorgenson, who re

Sunday on Pan American Airways
after a seven weeks vacation in the
states.

Missouri, her home town, for her
first visit in 40 years. She was the
guest of a brother there.
En route she stopped in Seattle,
Denver, Coldrado, and Kansas City,
Missouri.
The only rainy day she saw, she
said was June 10, in Denver when
"it thundered, lightning struck a
warehouse and burned it to the
ground; it hailed a foot and then
poured harder than I've ever seen
it rain before.”
At Denver she visted Lookout
Mountain and Estes Park and on
her return to Seattle from Missouri,
drove to Aberdeen. Washington,
Bremerton and other towns.
She said she enjoyed visits with
many former Juneau and Ketchi
kan friends while on Puget Sound.

THE HILL AND HILL COMPANY, LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY
These are days to try the mettle of a man. There’s his
world to worry about—his country—his business—his
family. And there are his own hopesrand aspirations.
And, yet, a man must go on. Everything he plans for
demands a tilt to his head and a lilt tq his spirits.
And that’s where his Cadillac comes into the picture—
for here, beyond all question, is one of the world’s great
therapeutics for a world-weary man.
Just to look at it, in the driveway, is an inspiration—
proud, beautiful, eager and substantial.
And, oh, how you rest when it takes to the highway!
Standard equipment accessories and trim illustrated are subject to change without notice
There’s the deep-throated lullaby of its powerful engine;
there’s the soothing, restful, relaxing ride; and there’s
the soft swish of the wind as it flows past the stream
lined body. Men look forward to it throughout the day.
We have it on the word of a great statesman, and a
great surgeon, and a great general—and simply thousands
of others who are weary with the heavy burden of things
as they are—that the hour at the wheel of a Cadillac is
the relaxingf>nc of the twenty-four.
So there you have the prescription. Better come in and
see us today—and arrange to have it filled.
