 Does Excellent Work
 Rev. Henry Young, pastor of Met ropolitan Methodist Church, who is soon to leave for the annual district conference and may not eturn here, complimented the Chamber on the excellent work" it is doing in getting people together "on a common ground which seems to be the solution of most of the common problems of any commun- ity." He pointed out that under the policy of his church, all con- tracts expired at the end of the conference year. When the confer ence meets pastors for the several congregations are selected by its officers. It is possible he may be sent back to Juneau, or that the conference will direct him to some other field.
 During the past two years one of the most enjoyable things to me has been the weekly meetings of the Chamber of Commerce, he added. In this manner, many times unconsciously, all kinds of differences and difficul ties are smoothed out. When the cham bers of commerce of the world are linked together closely, and get on common footing like we do here, serious problems will be solved, and the era of real peace ushered in" he added.
 Work for Youth
 The finest work of the Juneau Chamber, he said, is its concern with everything that promotes the character and welfare of the boys and girls of the community. It has been the continued desire of the Chamber to boost everything that tends to advance the home and build up the character of it's youth.
 The Chambers Trade at Home policy, he pointed to as another highly beneficial undertaking. q believe if everyone would eliminate mail order buying, the resultant increase in local sales would enable the business men to materially re- duce many prices" He called at tention to the volume of business going out of the town from orders taken by house to house solicitors, persons who, in nearly every in- stance, were nonresidents and pay nothing toward the maintenance of the city and it's government.
 Tn conclusion he urged upon members te n d lance of local churches. T admit you can tune in on your radio and get a better sermon than you probably could hear locally, but the same argu- ment that is made against mail order buying holds goods with equal force in this case" he con- tended. The churches and their pastors need and deserve the same home support that the business firms should have.
 Praise for Teachers
 The Chamber by an unanimous vote adopted resolution con- graduating Superintendent w. K. Keller and all the teachers in the Juneau grade and high schools for the successful year just ended" and praising them for that work.
 H. L. Faulkner, in offering the resolution, drew attention to the recent exhibit of work staged about two weeks ago at the schools. This was visited by some 500 people and was commended in every instance.
