MAYOR'S BLESSING
ON PEOPLES TICKET,
LASTEST TO FILE
Incumbents Enter Race tor
Six Council Seats at
Mayor's Request
The incumbent city council fil
ed yesterday for re-olection under
the name of the Peoples Ticket,
with the blessing of Mayer Waino
Hendrickson,
Mayor Hendrickson said that the
incumbents "consented to file. .
at my personal request."
The Peoples Ticket is the second
full council ticket to be filed. The
Civic Interest Ticket, including
former eouncilmen Edward S. Niel
sen and J. A. Thibodeau, entered
the race tor the six council seats
Thursday.
On the Peoples Ticket are J. P.
Christensen, automobile dealer; Al
fred Zenger Sr„ business manager
of The Empire; George Jorgensen,
service station operator: B. H. Mc
Dowell, grocer; James Larsen, con
tractor; and Art Walther, grocery
employee.
In a statement to the press, Maj
or Hendrickson termed the incum
bent ccuncil “one of the most
progressive" Juneau has ever had.
His full statement follows:
"All of the incumbent city coun
cilmen have consented to file for^
reelection for another term at my
personal request.
“On reveiwing the list of civic im
provements accomplished during
the past year, I am convinced that i
this has been one of the most
progressive and most cooperative
city councils actively interested in
the welfare of the community and
its betterment that the City of |
Juneau has ever had.
"After reading the proposed pro
gram presented by the Civic In
terest Ticket, I would like to point
out that a definite program for im
proved street lighting is already
underway through a cooperative;
plan of the Alaska Electric Light
and Power Company and the city.
An order is now on file with the
General Electric Corporation for
thirty of the latest type lighting
fixtures which will be installed
throughout the business district im
mediately on arrival. One of these
light fixtures was installed some
time ago in front of the United
Food Company’s store on Front
Street for experimental purposes
and was so satisfactory that thirty
more were ordered immediately.
Next year the light company plans
on relighting additional areas un
til the entire street lighting sys
Item is renovated. It might be of
interest to the public to know
that the system and fixtures are
the private property of the com
i pany.
I “One of the most recent projects
I accomplished by this administra
, tion was the completion of a road
t Into Evergreen Bowl. This is neces
! sarily the first and most import
I ant step in any improvement pro
j gram contemplated for the area,
j since it is now possible to move
i material and equipment into the
i area on trucks rather than on
* wheel barrows. With a service road
making the Evergreen Bowl area
[accessible, it is now possible to
| undertake a definite program of
I improvements for this recreation
I area.
i "This administration aisv, acquir
! i d two lots at the foot of Star Hill
lor playground purposes and are
cooperating with church organiza
. ior.s in developing additional play
grounds near Fourth and Gold
otreets as well as playgrounds in
! other parts of the city.
“This administiation has also
j provided financial support to the
Teen-Age Club and made the A. B.
Hall available to youngsters all last I
winter at no expense to these
[ groups.
“I wish to point out mat this
administration has made available
to the fishing fleet and pleasure
craft the best and longest grid
iron on the Pacific Coast <640 ft.
long). 125 individual electric outlets
to provide electric light and power
to all boa's are now being installed
in the boat harbor. Additional
stalls for boats are being added to
those recently rebuilt. These im
provements with others now con
templated gives Juneau the finest
boat harbor for its size on the
Pacific Coast.
"The installation of new sewer
and water mains in the West 7th
to 9th Street areas will complete
a modern sewer and water instal
lation for the entire city. The re
cently annexed Highland Drive dis
trict is rapidly being improved to
this same high standard.
“My purpose in presenting these
facts is to point out to the voting
public that many of the pro
jects listed on the Civic Interest
Ticket, program are already accom
plished or underway by the present
administration.
"All those filing on the People’s
Ticket have acquired valuable ex
perience in civic government during
their term of office and their im
posing record of civic achieve
ments is their best recommenda
tion and endorsement, for reelec
tion.”

WEATHER ENDS
JUNEAU ICE CAP
JIRP RESEARCH
Winter reached the Juneau Ic<
Cap a little earlier than expected
but found the rugged young scien
tists of the Juneau Icefield Research
Project (JIRP) already firfishim
their activities for the 1950 season.
Hiking out this week. Geologist;
Paul V. Livingston and Arthur K
Gilkey reported 15 inches of new
snow in three days early this month
but say ice conditions for ski
landings are excellent.
! A ski-equipped C-47 aircraft ar
rived here yesterday morning, com
ing in from Gustavus where they
landed late Thursday after a turbu
lent flight from Elmendorf A. F
Base. The crew still was weather
bound this noon, hoping to make
the final flights to the Ice Cap this
weekend.
The ski-plane will bring out thr
four men still on the ice cap, and
several tons of equipment, includ
ing the heavy machinery used to
drill for an ice core in the glacier.
Field Director Maynard Miller
went yesterday to Seattle, where he
is to lecture this evening. He plans
to return next week to finish the
season’s work.
Before boarding a Pan American
airplane yesterday. Miller again ex
pressed the appreciation of the
American Geographical Society of
New York, chief JIRP sponsor, for
the cooperation of many individuals
and agencies in Juneau.
Help by the U.S. Forest Service
was especially important, he said
that agency having made a ware
house available, loaned the services
of their expert Tony Thomas, and
cooperated in communications, be
sides giving other valuable assist
ance. All JIRP supplies were pur
chased in Juneau.
Object of the 1950 research was
continuation of work of the previous
summers in an integrated study of
a large ice field, the Juneau area
having been chosen because it com
bines a number of advantages found
nowhere else in the world.
JIRP personnel has increased each
year: there were six men in 1948, 24
in 1949 and 25 this year. There have
been no accidents to date, due, said
Miller, to the mountaineer and ski
training and experience of the
party.
Miller said interest in Juneau ice
Cap studies is world-wide, in the
realms of both pure science and
practical experiments. Many groups
cooperated this year, chief among
them being the Office of Naval
Research. Studies of fitness are pf
particular interest in military circles.
It’s going to be the biggest weekend
yet at the Snake Pit Bar.

FIRST OF THE FINE CARS IN VALVE
BIG MOMENT
r"’s a big moment when any
new car rolls up to your door
and you start out fresh and
spanking bright.
Think, then, what it’s going to
mean when that new car is a
Roadmaster like this one pic
tured here.
Xou’ll swing wide the door and
slide into a car that’s truly fine—
and looks it.
You’ll put foot to treadle and
touch off the might of a great,
152-horsepower Fireball straight
eight that’s ready to master any
road—or anything it meets there.
You’ll have the silken magic of
Dynaflow Drive to simplify your
FOUR-WAY FOREFRONT. Thit rugged front
tnd (1) fit the rfyte note, (2) saves on repair coiti—
vertical ban are individually replaceable, (3) ovoid*
"lacking horn*," (4) mokes parking and garaging easier.
s * . . *■ m
with a Doable Impact
driving, ease your way. A hand*
some flexible steering wheel, auto
matic windshield washers, soft
Foamtex cushions, and many
other items that are "extras”
elsewhere are standard equip
ment here.
But even while you enjoy all
that, you’ve a still deeper satis
faction enriching your pleasure.
For here you have not only a fine
car, but a sound and frugal in
vestment as well.
You have paid less per pound than
any comparable car costs—and
automotive men will tell you
price per pound is the soundest
measure there is of solid, thor
oughgoing merit.
You’ve bought quality—top qual
ity—all the fine things a fine car
should provide. But you haven’t
spent a penny more than a fine
car need cost.
A.nd that can mean a lot. For in
stance—
Drop in on your Buick dealer:
Try out a ROADMASTER. Match
it, feature by feature and point
by point, with any other fine ear
on the road.
Then get the price.
You may well find that you can
get not only a new ROADMASTER
for the sum you had in mind—but
maybe a new fur coat for your wife
as well!
