turned cut full force for this year’s

held at Community House Wednes
day evening. Five hundred vert
served at the mug-up supper which
started the program at six o’clock.
Several hundred more poured into
the building to hear the program
which started at eight.
Tom Tilson acted as Master-of
Ceremonies. He interviewed old
timers Ralph Young Sr. and Bill
Hanlon on life in the "Good Old
Days." SHS freshman and sopho
more girls gave two selections from
the choral arrangement, “The Saga
cf Alaska.” Mt. Edgecumbe School
presented two Eskimo dances and
three choral numbers under the
direction of Father Michael Ossor
gin. Sheldon Jackson Junior Col
lege contributed a presentation en
titled "Alaska's Men of God," which
included significant religious leaders
ci the Greek Orthodox, Presbyter
ian and Episcopal faiths.
The SHS band provided music
during the evening and the pro
gram closed with several numbers
by the Island Square Dance Club.
Prizes were awarded to Mrs. Carl
Hardin and G. Nelson for most

Fifteen members cf the Field
Committee of the Department cf
:he Interior visited Sitka this week.
Dn Tuesday they were guests of
Rotary at a luncheon held at the
Lutheran Service Center with Clar
ence Rhode as guest speaker.
On Tuesday evening the Com
mittee met at the Fireball w?lh
members of the City Council, Hos
pital Committee, School and Public
Utilities Board. Presiding at the
meeting was Kenneth Kadow.
Howard Bradshaw, president of
the Hospital Committee, asked for
a decision on the request made
months ago for the opening of the
Mt. Edgecumbe Hospital to patients
frem Sitka. In saying no, Hugh
Wade, new ANS director pointed
out that such permission would take
an act of Congress, and further,
that the ANS could not feel justi
fied in asking for such action while,
at the same time, pleading for
more appropriations for the erec
tion of added TB hospitals for the
fight against TB among the natives.
In response to questions concern
ing the need for new school facil
ities, T. J. Cole, Superintendent of
Cohools, was advised of two new
Congressional actions, which were
applicable to local conditions. One
bill provides for tuition from Fed
eral employees’ offspring and the
other for construction of added
facilities made necessary by in
creased enrollments from govern
ment families.
Leslie Yaw, president of the SPU
Board, asked advice from the Com
mittee on help in building a hydro
electric plant for Sitka and Mt.
Edgecumbe. Kadow advised calling
in the Bureau of Reclamation which
would take over the facilities—
build a plant and sell power to
the municipality. It was pointed
out that Sitka is now buying power
from the ANS and is forced to
maintain a high rate in order to
discourage use of the limited sup
ply. All ANS personnel present
added their requests that some
arrangement be found for a local
plant as ANS would like to go out
of the power business and be sup
plied from towrr.
The first of the winter’s concert
series Friday evening i.t the SJS
auditorium brought out a capacity
crowd of music lovers. Though
this year's program was felt to be
inferior to last year’s in interest
the artists were given a warm
ovation in appreciation of the op
portunity to enjoy }op notch per
tormers.
Following the program, an in
formal reception was held in the
auditorium and it appeared that
rro member of the audience passed
up the opportunity to thank Mr.
Silva and Mr. E'hapir i for the
pleasure they gave.
Particularly noticeable was the
number of youngster who were
present and their absorption in the
j music. Many of them remained
for the reception and were intro
j duced to the artists.
The Steiner baby grand piano
ordered by the Sheldon Jackson
Junior College arrived in time for
the concert. It is the first grand
piano in Sitka and was bought
from money earned by the student
built fishing boat SJS II which is
also operated by students. The
piano was selected by Mr. Shapiro.

| the Selective Service Board were;
! Dr. Robert Shuler, Dr. Andrew
