Sno-Cat Ordered;
Due Here January
Sr.ow-tracfor transportation for
■ local winter sports fans to the
Douglas Island ski area became
certain today, it was announced
by "fom Stewart, president of
the Juneau Ski Club, with the
pin * ment cf a pre-paid order for
' a Tucker Sno-Cat, ready at the
* factory in Medford, Oregon, for
j immediate shipment to Juneau,
i The project to obtain a Sno-Cat
■ was assured of success by the ac
tion cf the Juneau Elks Lodge
i . Wednesday night in voting a
31000 donation toward the pur
chase oi the machine. This action
followed the granting of a long
term. interest-free" loan of $2500
by the Territorial Sportsmen, Inc.,
to aid the project, and the invest
ment of several thousands of dol
lars by local business organizations
and private individuals to further
this plan to better the winter
sports facilities of the Juneau
Douglas community.
Forest Service Aids
Sponsored at the outset by the
Juneau Ski Club, the project ha>
been made possible also by the aid
of the U. S. Forest Service in pic
riding lor improvement of the
trail leading to the Ski area and
by the efforts of members of the
Ski Club and others who have
contributed volunteer labor on the
trail and worked at promoting
the project.
Delivery of the Sno-Cat is ex
pected early in January, Stewart
said, and it will be put into opera
tion immediately on Its arrival.
During this season it will be oper- j
ated from the top of the Jump j
Hill, near the beginning of the
Douglas Ski Trail, to the Slalom i
Hill, approximately one-and-a
quarter miles up the trail. 'A shed
for storage of the machine near
the top of the Jump Hill is being
prepared, and the tractor is to be
kept there during the winter sea
j son. A small charge will be made
for rides to the ski area, revenues !
being used to pay off other than i
; donated funds invested and also j
j to provide for eventual replace- ;
ment. A schedule for operation of j
the machine will be announced j
| shortly after its arrival. . |
Opens New Area
It is expected that this new
transportation facility will open
for wide use by the public the su
perb snow basin which lies at the
; end of the Ski Trail, three miles
from the Douglas Highway. The
U. S. Forest Service plans for the
improvement of the trail to this
site in the next summer season in
order to permit successful oper
ation of the snow tractor to this
upper bowl. If the operation of
the tractor is as successful as ex
pected, all ski facilities, such as

ARC Reports Much
Road Work Dene
During Pas! Year
During the 1951 construction sea
! son the Alaska Road Commission
| reports it continued its program of
highway construction and improve
ment throughout the Territory with
efforts concentrated on the recon
j struc'.ion and hard-surfacing of the
! main routes, replacement of nar
j row bridges on these routes, anti
an extending the farm and lndu -
, rial road system.
Here i; a report by the ARC of
1951 activities:
By the end of the season hard
■ urfacing of the Glenn Highway
i between Anchorage and the Rich
j r,niton Highway was complete ex
cept for a 10-mile section in the
; vicinity of Sheep Mountain. The
I remaining portion of the Glenn
Highwhy between Big Timber and
] Tok Junction, formerly known os the 1
Tok Cutoff, was under extensive re
construction during the entire season
and resulted in almost complete el
imination of narrow’ and crooked
road. Included in this W’ork was a
i relocation around the cast sid? of
Mentasta Lake that shortens the
road by approximately nine miles.
On the Richardson Highway be
tween Valdez and Big Delta four
contracts for grading were in pro
gress, three of which included hard
surfacing. Grading between Valdez
and Thompson Pass was substan
tially completed. This work includ
ed the widening and paving of the
tunnel in Keystone Canyon and the
elimination of many steep grades
and sharp curves.
The section from Big Timber to
Paxson is under contract for grading I
only. During the past season approx
imately 15 miles of road south of
Paxson was completed and prepara
tions made to rebuild the remainder
during the coming season.
the ski tow, will be moved to the
upper bowl for the 1952-53 sea
son.
Corporation Operation
The snowtractor is to be opera
ted by Juneau Ski Train, Ir.c., a
small corporation formed for ef
ficient, non-profit management of
the venture. Directors of the cor
poration include Dean Williams,
Tom Stewart, Peter Warner. John
Ouiney, and Curtis Shattuck. The
function of the ' corporation is to
provide for safe and reliable op
eratibn of the machine and for
its proper care and maintenance.
It will be fully covered by damage
and public liability insurance.
Further plans for improvement
of the community’s winter recrea
tion facilities are in progress. A
Juneau winter carnival to be
sponsored by several local service
groups is under consideration, and
a more complete announcement of
this will be made soon. Funds
raised by such a project will be
used to repay obligations on the
Snc-Cat, and revenues from its
operation may then do used for
other improvements, such as new
cabin and ski totv facilities. ■

ERIMERHAVEN, Germany, Dec.
20- Vi —A group of .stiff-backed,
poker faced Russian naval officers
here handed back to the U. S. Navy
yesterday two large American ice
i rcaker; loaned to the Soviet Union
during the war.
In a brief ceremony, the Russians
auled down the Red flag on the 6,
5C0 ton Nofthwind and Westwind.
Then they boarded a Russian freigh
ter and saiied for home.
U. S. Naval troops filed on board
nd hoisted the Stars and Stripes.
The return of these two ships is
■svcral years behind schedule.
. The fourth contract, between Rap
ids and Big Delta includes both
trading and paving. A line change
was constructed between Rapids
and Donnelly that will elrninate
flood damage by the Delta River,
nd equipment is now on the job
o accomplish the remaining, grading
and hard surfacing.
An important new' 128 mile link
in the highway system was formally
dedicated October 19, 1951,- opening
the new Seward-Anchorage High
way. Portions of the old Seward
Hope Road, between Seward and
Mile 58, are still under reconstruc
tion preparatory to paving, and the
section from Girdwood to Anchor
age has been placed under contract
for hard surfacing. Additional pav
ing contracts are to be awarded
during the coming season and will
be administered by the Bureau of
Public Roads under a cooperative
agreement with the Alaska Road
Commission.
Under a similar agreemenF the
Bureau of Public Roads is admin
istering a contract covering re-grad
ing and paving of the Alaska’High
way eastward toward Johnson river.
A line change near Halfway House
that will eliminate much winding
road with blind curves is under con
struction and will be available for
use early next summer.
The Taylor Highway, extending
from the Alaska Highway northward
to Eagle .and including a branch [
connecting at Boundary with the
road to Dawson, was pushed almost
to completion during the past sea
son. Construction of two bridges
and grading of approaches was op
ened enriy last season.
Work On West End
Work was continued on the Rich
ardson Hig'iway-McKinley Park
Road with eflcrts concentrated at
the west end. A pioneer road was
pushed through between Cantwell
and McKinley Ru'.\, Station apd
there remains only the construction
of necessary bridges across the Nc
nana River to permit travel between
these points.
Other work undertaken by the Al
aska Road Commission, In addition ,
to maintaining nearly 3000 miles!
of road, included completion of the j
paving of the Alaska portion of the j
Haines Highway and the widening i
and improvement of the Sterling!
Highway from its junction with the j
Seward - Anchorage Highway to |
Homer.
Tire farm and industrial road sys- |
tem was extended as much as avail-1
able funds would permit, aggregating
approximately 20 miles of new con
struction and 30 miles of recon
struction and surfacing of existing
low standard road. Some 20 mile
of new construction was undertaken
on a cooperative agreement basis
at the request of various other gov-1
ernment agencies.
Buildings Erected
To provide adequate facilities U
handle the enlarged highway pro
gram several buildings were erect
ed by the Ala ka Road Commission
during the pa t season. These in
cluded a new warehouse at Fair
banks and a warm storage building
and a dormitory at Gfennallen. A
trailed camp containing twenty 30
foot house trailers has been set up
in Valdez to provide housing for
engineering personnel employed on
the many contracts in effect in that
area.
The Alaska Road Commission is
again maintaining the Richardson
Highway over Thompson Pass out of
Valdez through the winter months,
funds having recently been made
available through cooperation of the
Army. This work has been under
taken successfully for the past two
winters and has resulted in Valdez
becorping a valuable year-around
seaport through which a large vol
ume of military and civilian freight
is moved to the interior cities of
Anchorage and Fairbanks.
Plans for the coming season are
now being formulated to accomplish j
many of the needed road extensions j
and improvements.

To the Editor, Doily Alaska Em
pire: Those of us who had a pleas
ant afternoon at the concert pre
sented by the Juneau Singers last
Sunday feel that not enough credit
has been given to those who spent
a great deal of time and effort in
making the event possible. Those
who participated in the production
were unanimous in praising the
skill and ability of Miss Marjorie
Iverson, the director. ‘ She worked
us pretty hard,” said one member,
‘but she was efficient, and we all
enjoyed it.” The accompaniment of
Jane McMullin contributed greatly,
too. Juneau is most fortunate in
having such talented musicians
contribute their services to our
community life.
The concert opened with groups
of singers entering the stage from
different parts of the building, car
oling as they walked with lighted
flashlights down the darkened
aisles. The first haif of the program
presented our old Christmas carols
ifi interesting fashion, and joined
with the stringed quartette in the
more sacred aspect of Christmas
music. The presentation of “The
Song of Christmas” has been con
sidered by many to be equal to, and
in some places superior to the Fred
Waring recording. Leonard Garr
was effective as narrator of the
verses from the Holy Scriptures.
T!io second hr.lf of the program i
was of r merer popular nature, The '
singers frolicked through sprightly1
holiday music with an ease that i
indicated much careful Raining. j
Their attractive winter co3tumcs j
added to the general effectiveness, j
Bill and Elna Barrington were al- ,
n:c;t professional in their execu- j
t'on of the “Skaters’ Waltz.” Ruth j
Nelson, Ernest Ehler, Frances Paul,.
JLois Reedy and Robt. Rings had
!o parts which were very well
received. i
In any production of this size,
IH probably the largest attend
’iicc Jhat any event in Juneau will
have this winter, there was n lot
1 hard work done in making the
arrangements, Margaret Maland
made the costumes for the Snow
man and Rudolph, the red-nosed
reindeer. Max Lewis made the San
ta Claus sleigh in the high school
-hop. Merton Haynes was in charge
of tlie lighting, Helen Webster as
; ted in the decorations and pro
diction. Katherine Alexander had
charge of the publicity. Eunice
Ncvin (could you have guessed it? i j
became the animated “Frosty, the
Snowman,” and Will Reedy and
Bill Barrington were the two parts 1
of the reindeer. (Will was in charge !
c,f the posterior operations). Jim
Carr was the Santa Claus.
The afternoon was such a happy
contribution to the beginning of
tlie Christmas season that many
of us wish we might have more
opportunities for saying “Thank
you” individually to the members
of the cast, and their director, Miss
Iverson.
