MARIA WOROBEC BETTER
, Miss Maria Worobec vho suffered
a fractured ankle in a fall from the
balcony of the Douglas Gymnasium
to the floor three weeks ago, is re
ported by her mother as feeling
good enough that she expects her
doctor to remove the cast soon. Mrs.
Worobec stated that on X-ray read
ings, the fracture was given an 85
percent chance of complete recov
ery, meaning no stiffness, which
means a lot to a young lady with
dancing ambitions.
Maria went to school on four days
before the wind blew the snow off
the streets, by being pulled on a sled
by girl friends.
WIND STORM
It blew and it blew and it blew
jthe house in. Only it was the Doug
las Cannery building on the water
front instead of the little pig’s home
in the story books.
With the north wind the past two
days and last night Taku wind, the
140 foot newly constructed cannery
building is all but completely de
molished this morning. Three sides
of the main building are still stand
ing and part of the loft and roof at
the east end remain, but the roof,
loft and beach side of the front sec
tion, including the boiler room,
stack and tool house are gone.
The building was constructed with
alumninum sheet metal which
proved too thin and soft a material
to withstand the severe blow, pull
ing the nail heads through, and
letting the wind into the inside of
the structure, which caused the
damage.
The building is owned by a large
group of t mall stockholders of Ju
neau and Douglas, but has not been
operating for the past two years.
Workmen have been trying to tie
down part of the remaining struc- i
ture but the wind was still too !
strong this morning, making any
attempt dangerous. The building
was insured for wind damage, but
no estimate of loss has been made.
The heavy equipment formerly in
the loft had been crated and re
moved, and other equipment owned
by the Continental Can Co. was in
the process of being moved.

Commie China
| Rejects Protest,
Tibet Invasion
—
NEW DELHI. India, Nov. 17—IS*)—
Communist China has brusquely re
jected a second Indian protest at
the military invasion of Tibet, an
official government spokesman said
today.
Peiping’s reply to an Indian note
calling the use of force against
peaceful Tibetans an unwarranted
act further endangering world peace
was received today.
Red China declared India had no :
right to “interfere” in what the
Communists consider an internal j
Chinese affair.
The answer placed before Prime ,
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's gov- !
ernment a tough decision—whether j
to firmly support the Tibetan neigh
bor’s charges of Red Chinese aggres- |
sion now before the United Nations, j
or try to sidestep the issue in an
effort to cling to a neutral position |
in east-west world politics.
