ADDED WING NEW
SCHOOL TO VOTERS
MONDAY, APRIL 30
Upon decision of property-own
ing voters next Monday, April 30,
will rest whether Juneau's .new
school, to be built at 12th and
Glacier Way, will have an added
wing. Called ior in original plans,
it is designed to contain two kin
dergarten rooms, a cafeteria to
serve all of the school, a teachers'
room, nurse's room, office, vault
for records, storage rooms, rifle
range and additional play space.
Of the original $750,000 raised
for construction of the school,
$150,000 has been paid out or com
mitted, for acquiring the school
site, preparing the ground for
building and for architect's fees
and incidental expenses.
During early planning of the
school building program, it was
anticipated that one-half of the
building costs would be forthcoming
through the General Services Ad
ministration. However, because of
federal retrenchment, GSA is now
unable to make any committments
on the program, or to offer much
hope for the future, it was stated.
Upon opening of bids for the new
school, as originally planned, the
low- bid was $743,657.00 and the
School Board was forcd to accept
an alternate bid cf $578,294.00 which
eliminated the cafeteria wing. The
alternate bid furnishes 12 class
rooms, an assembly room, and lull
basement for playroom in the main
building. The $200,000 bond election
was then decided upon to deter
mine by the voters, whether or not
the cafeteria wing should be added
to the present contracted construc
tion. Due to growing scarcity of
materials and the fact that the
cafeteria wing could be constructed
for less cost while the contractor
w-as on the main building job, it
was decided to take the problem to
the voters.
The average bond payment is
$41,416 on bonds for which the
School District is now obligated.
The Tobacco Tax income for 1950
was $35,798. Thus, it was pointed
out. the school bond tax load would
not be as great on the School Dist
rict as in the past when it made
bond payments to the city of eight
and nine thousand dollars a year.
This year's return on the Tobacco
Tax will be around $41,000 and it
is estimated that, with the new
added tax on tobacco passed by the
recent legislature in effect, the sum
in the next year will reach $60,000.
In all probability, it was said, there
will be no greater school tax bur
den on taxpayers than at the pres
ent time.
Polls will be open from 8 a.m. to
7 p.m. Persons paying taxes in or
out of the city can vote at The
Alaska Electric Light and Power
Company, but those who pay taxes
only in the city must vote there.
Polling place at Auk Bay is at the
Stanley .Jekill residence.
Youngsters of the high and grade
school art classes have co-operated
in publicizing the bond election by
placing posters in various down
town store windows. Eugene Temple
was the artist for the poster in
the Juneau-Young Hardware store
window and Rudy Ripley for that
in the window at Pan American
Airways. Both are students of Max
Lewis’ high school art class. Eighth
grade posters are in the Juneau
Florist’s window, which art class is
under instruction of Miss Cather
ine Elle.

The Washington Senators and St.

Bucky Harris’ Senators were con
signed to the second division in pre
season polls. The experts smiled po
litely when Manager Marty Marion
and Owner Fred Saigh talked about
the ’•contending” Cardinals. Today
both are in first place.
Washington’s dazzling spurt on

‘‘Go the route or get out” seems

stuff on the sorry Philadelphia A’;
last night, with a five-hit, 6-1 job
Thursday night his countryman
Connie Marrero, stuffed a one-hit

Washington historians claim the
Senators are off to their best start
in history with a 7-1 record. Ol
course, the A’s were conveniem
four-time victims. In the last foul
games, Philadelphia has scored i
total of two runs. The A's have lost
eight in a row.

The New York Giants continued

for keeps. Warren £pahn was the
five-hit winner.

Gil Hodges continued his power
hitting with two homers and t
double in Brooklyn’s 11-5 roiit of thi
Phillies. Joe Hatten, althougl
knocked out in the ninth, was tin
southpaw winner.
Ralph Kiner’s first homer wasn't
enough to save Pittsburgh as Cin

Blackwell picked up his second win
although he needed relief help fron
Howie Fox after six innings.
Carried Off Field
Wally Westlake, Pittsburgh's lef
fielder, hurt his left knee slldint
into second base. He was carried off
the field.
In the American League, all thi
western teams were idle. The onlj
action in addition to Washington

ANGELS m
CLIMBING OP
ON BEAVERS
By Associated Press
Without the aid of wires or mir
rors, Stan Hack, a third baseman
turned prestigitator, has the Lo
Angeles baseball club thinking that
it might very well have a lot to say
about determining the Pacific Coast
League pennant.
The Angel'-, seventh in the stand
ings last year, are clo ing in on the
pace-setting Portland Beavers. They
are just a gam» and one-half be- j
hind and looking better all along.
Hack’s hustlers bopped Joe Gor
don’s ambitious Sacramento Solons
last night, 5 to 3, and got another
good pitching performance in the j
process from Bob Spicer. All other j
Coast League games v/crc stymied |

The Angels were consigned to
second division in the pre-season
predictions of the experts, but they
give no indication of becoming a
doormat. Hack, one of the best of
all the third basemen, has a comer
in third sacker Leon Brinkoff; a
fine fielding shortstop in Gene Ba
ker; a hustling and timely hitting
second sacker in Jack Hollis, and a
long ball-hitting first sacker. Chuck

M'i BASKETS TO
HELP FUNDS FOR
CANCER DRIVE
Something new in May Baskets
is slated for Juneau, come May Day
Baskets" will be hung on every
door know in the channel area, out
they will be empty, ready to be
filled by the person who receives
them, und returned to the sender.
Operation Maybasket” is a part
of Juneau’s Cancer Crusade which
opened earlier this week under the
chairmanship of Norman C. Ban
iield. Assistance of Boy Scouts has
L:cn recruited for hanging the bas
kets on door knobs all over Ju
neau and Douglas. They are ‘‘fol- •
low-ups” which went out earlier'
this week in letters sent out in j
light bills. The letters are again
the local committee’s plan for
conducting the crusade.
“No persona! solicitation for
funds will be made,” Banfield sta
ted. "We realize that both canvas
sers and contributors have exhau
sted their energies by repeated
drives l’or funds this year. So we
are trying a unique approach and
making the matter one of personal
responsibility to the giver. We hope
every person who receives a May
basket will put whatever he feels
he can afford into the envelope
and drop it in the mail box. It
need not be addressed or stamped.
It will go straight to our Juneau
office to help us Strike Back at
Cancer.”
The Cancer Crusade which offi
cially opened in Juneau on April
25, will end on May 10, Mr. Ban
ileld pointed out. It is hoped that
Juneau will have equalled the fine
record it made last year when it
led the Territory in amount oi
funds received.
