FRED LYNCH
 IN WRITE-U

In a recent Sunday Post-Intel- ligeneer, Seattle, under the cap ton Stars of the Mike" with an accompanying single column pie ture, Fred Lynch, former resident of Juneau and now with the broadcasting station KOMO, Se- attle, is given the following write up;
 A policemen .....ho can bank or the power of a good tenor voice over the more deadly billy" on a tough beat in a tough town, is just too good 10 be a copper. That's why Fred Lynch is on the KOMO staff.
 Fred was a policeman and had such a beat-the waterfront-at Juneau, Alaska. He's Irish, and congenial, and the voice-it won every time. But then came the chance at KOMO fourteen months ago.
 The same combination has made him a permanent fixture there, much to the joy of thous- ands of fans. And incidentally, fan mail from Juneau is heaviest of all They can't forget their singing policeman.

afternoon requesting a baseball game with city players, it is ex- peeted there will be no contest this evening, President Charles E. Naghel Of the City League said today.
 It is probable no game would be played anyway, as the steam CT is scheduled to arrive here at ' o'clock this evening, and it would be later before the game would be started. Today with one other date in the second half of the League schedule, is one of the two left open for games with the Dorothy Alexander. This arrangement was made because the crew of the steamer desired contests last season when she was in port.

MANY VISIT SCOUTS SUNDAY; ;BOYS SWIM
 WHEN TIDE IS LOW

With Eagle River ber virtually flooded with autoists who hiked two miles from the end of the road, Visitors Day at the Boy Scout camp was pronounced a sue cess today by II. l.. Redline ahafer, Scoutmaster of Troop No l, who arrived in Juneau last evening from the encampment.
 Fine weather prevailed through out the day, and everything went off as per schedule, MT. Redling- shafer said. The ice cream, which was sent out by local peo- pie. was received early in the af- ternoon and the boys had all they could eat.
 As part of the program, the two troops held a baseball game which was won by Troop No. 2. Late in the afternoon the Scouts went swimming. Something new was tried out according to Mr. Red lingshafer, for the boys decided to try the water at low tide instead of high tide, when 1t had proved quite cold. They found the swim ming excellent at low tide because of the idleness of the water which enabled the suns rays to heat t on the long sand banks which run far out into Lynn Canal.
 c. D. Ferguson, Scoutmaster ot Troop No. 2, is in charge of the camp at the present time. Mr Redlingshafer left again today for the camp to assist in the laying of the pipe line. Pipe for this was recently transferred from the end of the road to Amalga Land ing by truck and taken to the camp site by boat. He expects to remain at Eagle River for a few days, possibly until the Scouts come home on June 19.
 Next Sunday, June r, will be the second and last day for visi- tors to be received in camp, MT. Redlingshafer announced.
