JUNEAU HIGH SCHOOL
 AGAIN APPROVED FOR
 ASSOCIATION MEMBER

The Juneau High School for the second year in succession has been approved for membership in the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools, according to information received by Superintendent w. K. Keller It is rated as a Class A member, the highest rank in the asso- citation.
 Membership in it is held as a recognition of the high standard of work on the part of the school receiving it. It entities the stu dents graduating from member schools to entry in colleges and universities throughout the coun- try on an accredited basis thus doing away with the require ments for entrance examinations, except in the few institutions which do not admit students ex- cept after examination.

 By the suggestion of Victor Rid der. representative of the German language newspapers on the May or's Committee, no plans are be- ing made or suggestions received for private receptions until the public program is completed.
 Anticipating the landing of the aviators landing at Mitchell Field, L. L, Grover Whelan. speaking for Mayor Walker, issued an appeal to motorists to keep away from the field until after the landing. The serious congestion there several days ago, when the report was current that the Bremen was headed this way, resulted in con siderable delay to the Mayor and his committee in carrying out their plans.

 With the exceptions of these withdrawals, it was announced that the entire route of Glacier Highway was open to individuals under private use permits or the five-acre tract patent proceedings.
 Wants Local Photographs
 Pictures of local industries, or other local photographs of almost any nature, were asked for by Guy Girard, teacher of Bakersfield, Cal, to be used in an educational film he said he was preparing The film is to be used widely in American and foreign schools, he said.
 H. c. Alexander, former Eagle River homesteader, who went to the States in 1926, wrote the Chamber in regard to marketing his property at Eagle River. He said 1t would be impossible for him to return to Alaska. He was called to Kansas by the illness of his mother, who has since died, and his fathers condition is such that it is impossible for him to return here.
 H. D. Campbell, Everett, Wash, lumber man, and Chester Holm. Petersburg business man, were guests of the Chamber today.

 of Alaska will be similarly affect ed by similar conditions.
 A Steady Industry
 The need of Alaska today is for an industry, or industries, which will furnish year round employ ment. No country. he averred, can prosper on seasonal employ ment. And Alaska has been suf- fering greatly from the latter class of industries. First it was fur, under the Russian regime, and it was trapped out. Next came bonanza gold fields which played out Next came fish, and l want to say if it wasn't for the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries, you would be dead again" he de- clared.
 Now ahead lies the develop ment of the forests. No extended utilization of them is possible from the sawmills, because there isn't a sufficient quantity of the higher grades of lumber capable of being produced from the aver age tree. The local forests are primarily valuable for pulp wood and the policy of the Forest Serv- ice in making them available for that purpose, in promoting that kind of utilization, was hailed as far-sighted.
 Such an industry would furnish labor throughout the year, build up a home-owning, permanent population, stabilize labor condi- tions and improve the Territory's economic status.
 Returns Through Development
 He touched on forest taxation, citing the fact that as almost all of Alaska's timberlands are Fed orally owned, they cannot be tax ed. Instead of taxes the Terri tory receives from the national
