GIELGUD FEATURED
ON KINY PROGRAM
Since radio station KINY was not
able to obtain the recent program
of “Theatre Guild on the Air,"
which featured John Gielgud in the
title role of Shakespeare's "Ham
let" lor broadcast in this area, it
is going to do the next best thing.
Tonight from 7 until 7:30 KINY will
broadcast Mr. Gielgud's recordings
of seven soliloquies from the play,
with appropriate music and narra
tion to connect the episodes. So
many Juneauites asked the station
about the scheduling of th£ Theatre
Guild program, which was widely
advertised, that KINY is using this
means to satisfy their interest. To
day, incidentally, is the 47th birth
day of Mr. Gielgud.

nediately. The assumed “enemy”
■ broadcasts were transmitted from a
nit installed and powered to crowd
ut the Elmendorf radio staions.
One speaker made all the trans
missions. He entreated the defend
rs not to “resist foolishly,” and
escribed the aggressor form of gov
rnment as a "Utopian Govern
lent.”
In one broadcast recorded by El
nenaorf intelligence, the commen
ator gloated over the conquest of
Irllfornia by the aggressor, and
iromised that all who surrendered
vould be sent to camps there.
The terms "concentration camp”
and “prisoner of war” were avoided
The commentator referred to the
:amps as "comfort stations for the
ippressed.” Air transportation was
promised all those who surrendered.
Although the voice warned of ap
oroaching “enemy forces,” it gave
10 indication when the invasion
night take place. The voice of the
ggressor uses the title "Educational
vdvisor.”

CHEDDAR
Mt. Edgecumbe Is Fine Hospital
Bui Johnnie Harris, Pioneer,
Would Return Home,Memories
Juneau was pretty young when
W. John Harris was born here in
1884.
In fact, it was only four years
before that that his father. Rich
ard T. Harris, with Joe Juneau, had
made the prospecting trip from
Sitka which resulted in the found
ing of the town, when they discov
ered- gold in the creek they named
Gold creek.
W. John Harris has been ill for
several months and according 'O hit
son, Fred, who returned Lo first
of the week after visiting h*j lather
at Mt. Edgecumbe,- he is getting
along fine now, but he wants fc
come back to Juneau. This is where
his family and friends are and, ac
cording to Dr. Robert H. Schuler
Johnny might just as well be in
Juneau as Sitka. His illness, arter
iosclerosis, cannot be improved by
remaining at Edgecumbe and when
there is room in the Government
hospital his tamily and friends want;
him back in Juneau again.
The Harris family, among thfe
few real pioneer families still repre
sented in Juneau, is so wellknown j
to oldtimers that they do not need
to look into Johnnie Harris’ scrap
book to find out about them.
Scrapbook History
But a look in the scrapbook is
a review of Juneau’s history.
First article in the scrapbook is
a long story by-John's father, Rich
ard T. Harris, written for the spe
cial edition of the Daily Dispatch on
February 1, 1900. One of the orig
inal discoverers of the town of
Juneau, Richard Harris tells of the
history of the town, which was first
called Harrisburg, then, changed to
Juneau. We have heard of the town
meeting called to change the name
of the settlement. Another clipping,
with the pictures of Dick Harris
and Joe Juneau, tells about that
meeting: "The camp here for years
was called Harrisburg but in 1884
at a public meeting called in a
house where Frank Berry now has
his saloon, it was decided to call it
Juneau for the reason that there
was a Harrisburg in Oregon and
much of the Alaska mail went there.
Joe was so elated over this that he
called the whole town up to the
bar and treated them for the whol?
night. It cost him $700.”
Death of a Pioneer
There are two pages of clippings
from newspapers printed at the time
j of Richard T. Harris’ death. Richard
Harris was bom near Cleveland.
Ohio, on October 31, 1833, and died
in Portland, Ore., on October 11,
1907. “He was no ordinary man,1'
says one of the news stories. “His
ancestors were people of culture and
refinement and he himself was t
graduate of Girard College in Phil
adelphia. He was a first cousin ol
Senator Dalzelle of Pennsylvania.
He was a Mason of high standing
Harris’ wife, a native womdn, died
several years ago leaving him two
young boys who were kept constant
ly in school and given excellent edu
cations. They are now both grown
and are two of the most industri
ous. and highly respected young
men In Juneau.”
That was 34 years ago.
The Years Since
In the years since then, John
Harris, who was a graduate of Che
n^awa in Oregon, divided his time
between guiding and his sign shop
which he opened in Juneau in 1S20.
Previously, he had "done mu h
sketch work of specimens for the
Smithsonian Institute,” another
(Sipping tells.
Of his large family of children
Mildred, John, Jr., and Bobbie are
•at home, as well as his son, Fred,
and his family; and young Harvey
Frazier, son of Margaret Harris
Frazier who died in 194G.
The scrapbook tells of Margaret
Harris’ death at the Cushman hos
pital and of the death of another
child, Robert, who died in 1934,
Young John Harris, oldest of the
unmarried Harris children, has
fought a valiant battle with tuber
culosis and is back in Juneau in
dent on finishing high school after
two years at the Cushman hospital
in Tacoma. He is known around
town for his singing with a high
school quartet and his guitar play
ing. He learned the guitar at Cush
man.
Harris Boys. Empire Xcwsie;
All of the Harris boys have been
Empire carriers or salesmen—young
Bobbie ' Casey" Harris is the cur^
rent member ol the family on the
staff. The older boys remember the
late John W. Troy when he was
actively running the Empire as
“another granddad" for Mr. Troy
had known Dick Harris many year.-,
before.
Fred Harris came south with his
family not long ago after employ
ment with the Alaska Road Com
mission in Anchorage. He intended
to take over his father’s paint shop
and support his mother and his
[brothers and sister and young nep
hhew—which with three children of
his own would be quite a job.
Fred has hated to give up this
plan — but there Is not enough sign
painting in town to support a fam
ily of ten, so he is going to try to
get back into government employ

CELLOPHANE WRAPPED TO PROTECT FRESHNESS AND FLAVOR
mcnt. Like his father, Fred is a
commercial artist and has been a
registered guide for 14 years.
His brother, Richard Harris, who
is married and has a family, would
help too, though both the young
men realize now that their plans
were beyond them. "But we will
figure something out,” they say,
hopefully.
“What we want most is to get Dad
back to Juneau."
Mrs. Harris, mother of the fam
ily, was born in Katalla and she,
too, attended Chemawa. Her name
was Margaret Hu.inut and her
father was used as one of the char
acters in a Barrett Willoughl-.;
novel in Which he was tailed “Old
Redhead.”
I>ig Game Guide
The e is much more of interest
in Johnnie Harris' scrapbook —
torics of the big game hunters he
guideu, among them: W. B. Allen,
millionaire; H. C. Barrow, E. O.
McDonald, Pan American directci*
and his son: Capt. H. D. Hinckley,
DSCG; George D. Hubbard. Col
lector of Customs, Seattle, and
James Phelan, University of Wash
ington football coach: Capt.'Adel
bert Zuckschwerdt, famous as cap
tain of the German raider Cor
morant during World War I.
When Johnnie, Sr„ comes back
to Juneau, he will have his scrap
book to help him with his memories
of the past — and his friends and
familjt to cheer him in his illness—
from which he may recover any
day. After all, Dr. Schuler, to whom
both Fred and his father are very
grateful for his interested treat
ment, says the patient will do all
right in Juneau. Now he is hoping
for a vacancy in tha Government
hospital --- the 1 ho will he home.
