 WITH A DANCE
Continuation of Work of the Knights of Columbus in Juneau Ends in a
 Grand Ball

A very pretty dancing party was held last evening in the Elks Hall under the auspices of the local council of the Knights of Columbus. This occasion ended a week of K. of C. festivities and ceremonies. Tho dancing party was intended as a re- ception to the visiting supreme and state officials of the order, but owing to the early departure of the Admiral Evans for the south, the visitors had to leave beforehand. The visit ors arrived in Juneau on the second of September and took advantage of the short stay here to visit Menden- hall glacier and other points of in- terest On Sunday morning at 1o:45 am, the corner stone of the new Parochial school was laid with appro priate ceremonies. The corner stone bearing the inscription "Deo ct Pat triae," was blessed by Right Rev J. R. Crimont, Bishop of Alaska, car ried and placed in position by Sup reme Physician E. w. Buckley of St. Paul, Minnesota, representing the Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus, and by Grand Knight Harley J Turner, representing Arch bishop Seghers Council, K. of C., of Juneau The Bishop translated the latin inscription of the corner stone, stating that it means For God and Country" He drew a comparison of the education that developed sim ply mental faculties and the education hat developed Christianity and Chris ian living He dedicated the build
 ng to the upbuilding of the children who would occupy it, to the advan tage of themselves and to the com 'nunity. After the stone was placed, he board of trustees of the local council of the Knight of Columbus, Frank A. Boyle, Fred w. Hebert and Hector Mclean inserted the cement md the stone was placed forever.
 The civic oration was delivered from the veranda of the Parochial residence by Deputy Supreme Knight Martin H. Carmody of Grand Rapids, Michigan. He gave very masterful presentation of the worth of the parochial schools, their necessity and value, not only to the Catholic Church, but also to the government and community. He touched on the war activities of the Knights of Go lumbus, and the appreciation of the orders efforts by not only the army and navy, but the entire American people. He clearly showed the dan gers of bolshevism and anarchism to to our government and said that the Knights of Columbus will fight from every angle, the chimeras and idle fancies of isms of this kind; that the entire resources and efforts of the order would be always placed in their way. He stated in clear terms that a man cannot be a Knight of Colum bus and also a socialist, bolshviki or masterful speeches of it's kind that the people of Juneau have been priv ileged to listen to, and the street was
 filled with people who applauded every word.
 The ceremony closed with the sing ing of the Holy. God, We Praise Thy Name" and the Star Spangled Ban ner," by the school children. Al group picture of Archbishop Seghers Council was taken by Winter < Pond. }e
