urged speedy enlargement of the

forces, fought in the Washington
Auditorium, the delegates marched

upon the Daughters to uphold and

enemies. She warned of the danger
of standing still at the crossroads,

The society went on record as en-
phatically opposed to recognition Of
Russia by the United States.
Pacifists and obstructionists are
included in the group against which
the Daughters pledged to combine

in a fight to the finish.
School authorities were called
upon to set up barriers to prevent
the spread of ''the red menace" +"
and the Daughters declared that
greater care should be taken in the
selection of instructors in schools

All instructors should be compelled
to take the oath of allegiance to

said.

Restriction of immigration and

It will no doubt be possible for the Chamber in 193O to arrange a more complete program for the Fourth of July Celebration, as we feel that more funds will be available
 Entertainment or Visitors
 Tt has been the custom of the Chamber to entertain visitors to Juneau in whom the Chamber and the community and Territory have an interest, and also those who are interested in us. This work on the part of the Chamber is most im- portant and more extensive because of the fact that Juneau is the Capi- t1l of the Territory. This part of tie Chambers work has grown in importance and we have made many valuable contracts through this extension of our hospitality to visitors. The Chambers activity in 1929 in this regard was greater perhaps than ever before.
 Tn March we entertained at din- ner Governor Parks and the Mem bcrs of the Territorial Legislature. During the summer and fall we have had as our fuesls Colonel Quinlan, special representative of the President, Mir Ernest w. Saw yer, Executive Assistant to the Sec retary of the Interior, Colonel Con- rad Mann, President of the Kan sas City Chamber of Commerce, Commander Radford, Mir.

ever, this problem could not have been solved but for the splendid spirit of cooperation which was manifested by Major Elliott and MT Metzgar, Superintendent of the AlGska Juneau Mine.
 Reports have been heretofore Sifrsnfttcd by Mayor Judson and others, giving the details of the contraction of the proposed new f.cats.
 Airplane Landings
 During the summer of 1929, as you all know, airplane conmuni- cation was established to limited extent between Juneau and Seat tie and between Juneau and other points in Southeast Alaska, and it was demonstrated that during the summer months travel by air will in the very near future become very general in Southeast Alas ka The Alaska Washington Air ways demonstrated the great con- yeninece and saving of time which will result by the establishment of permanent facilities for this mode of travel. It has already become apparent that several planes will undoubtedly be operating from Ju- neau to other points in Alaska and the States and Canada in the isn- mediate future. Most of this travel will be by hydroplane or amphib- ians and it is very essential that landing places be provided for land planes and that facilities be pro- vided for taking hydroplanes from the water when not in actual use or when repairs are needed.
 "The Executive Committee and the Local Industries Committee working together arranged for q site for hydroplane platform a. Salmon Creek. A permit has al- ready been obtained from the War Department and the platform vii be erected by the Territory and the City Council jointly and the expense divided between them.
 "A site has also been obtained for landing field which may be used by both land planes and amphibi- ans when such a field is required
 eOn account of the nature of the land adjacent to Juneau it is impossible to make landing field without considerable expense, but the first thing required is to ob- tain a site, and this has already been done.
 4The Committee desires to ac- knowledge the valuable assistance rendered it in this work by MT. B F. Heintzleman, Assistant Forester and R. J. Sommers. Territorial Highway Engineer.
 Home Buying
 While the objects for which this organization is formed are to pro- mote the general welfare of Juneau and vicinity and to take such action as may seem expedient and wise in matters of interest to the whole Territory nevertheless it is pri- marily commercial body formed to deal with business problems and to foster and improve trade, com merce and business.
 "The Executive Board, With the assistance of MT. Robertson, Chair man of a special committee, carried on to a limited extent a campaign to assist local merchants and deal CTS in calling attention to the ad- vantages and benefits accruing to the whole community from home buying.
