view, the local Moose on Thanks giving night will have a most jub- liant time and not being selfish, ask all of Juneau to join and help cele- brate
 Improvements Great.
 The improvement to the Moose building on Rawn Way has been lerge The top floor of the two story building, the floor entered from Rawn Way, has been made into one large hall, with maple floor, which has been highly polish- cd, most suitable for dancing pur- poses. When used for dancing, none need complain of not having plenty of ventilation for the four sides of this 50 by 50 foot room are prac- tically encased in glass windows which can be opened On this floor also is the general ante-room and a room for the lodges paraphernalia.
 The lower floor, which can be reached through outside doors on the side street or by spacious stair way from the main floor, will be the big joy for the members or those using the hall for special purposes This lower floor has been enlarged to twice it's former size by excava- tion through to the street above One half of the lower floor is large lounging room or can be quickly changed into banquet room. A large fireplace, which was donated and installed by G. E. krause, is thing of beauty, and before it, no doubt, the members will congregate and spin the old and new yarns. smoke and enjoy themselves with the sentiment home has nothing like this
 The other half of the lower floor is divided into the heating room, Ccloric heating plant having been installed; two large dressing rooms, one for ladies and the other for gentlemen, and large kitchen, equipped with an electric range. This kitchen will be a pleasure for the ladies, especially the women of the Mooseheart Legion, for it is cupplied with plenty of cupboard space, cutting boards. etc. Thero is little slide door between the kitchen and tie banquet room and walters can receive or give back their trays, etc. without going into the kitchen and getting in the way of those at work.
 Both the upper and lower floors have been redecorated and painted in anartistic manner.
