MORGAN HONORED,
TEEN AGE CLUB HERE
«
Tom Morgan, Juneau business
man, was honored as the second
recipient of the Tenn Age Club’s
Good Citizenship Award during a
regular teen age weekly broadcast
at KINY last night.
In conferring the honor, Joe Nin
nis, co-president of the Teen Agers,
said: “Every once in awhile, we
teen agers select some person to
honor with what we call our good
citizenship award. The man or
woman chosen must be one who ha:
proven outstanding as a citizen cf
this community and also one who
has been a specially true friend to
its young people. We've previously
honored only one other person this
way, but tonight we wish to make
the award to a second man who cer
tainly richly deserves it."
Ninnis then pointed out that Mor
gan had been a generous friend to
the Teen Age Club, that he could
always be counted on to help in
every good cause, and concluded
with, “And because we think you
are one of the very finest people in
the whole Territory; our Teen Age
Club is very proud to pay you this
compliment, naming you.tor its good
citizenship award.”
The program was dedicated to
the cancer drive for Alaska, of which
Morgan is chairman.
Also present, as moral support for
the pleased and somewhat em
barrassed Morgan, was Elmer Friend
who received the first good citizen
ship award made by the Teen Age
Club.

Alaska Line ships are busy ships.
Last year they made 174 round
trip voyages to Alaska—averaging
more than three per week through
out the year—providing the
dependable water transportation
necessary to the growth and
development of the Territory.
Large ports and small ports alike
find vessels of the Alaska Steam
ship Company as frequent visitors
,.. because only The Alaska Line
serves all Alaska. ■<
To meet the demanding require-^
ments for adequate water transpor
tation service takes experienced
people, complete facilities and a
willingness to do the whole job. In
1950 we proved that 174 times.
