 GIVEN SURPRISE
 BY N0RL|TEMEN
Sixty-five Members of Or ganization Attend
 Morning Service

Yesterday was a red letter day in the pastorate of the Rev. John A. Glasse, minister of the North ern Light Presbyterian Church here. By prearrangement, sixty-five mem bers of the Norlitemen, a mems organization sponsored by that church, sprang a surprise on Rev. Glasse by attending the morning services in a body. A committee, consisting of Harry Lucas, Lance Hendrickson and Alex Dunham had so carefully arranged the meeting that Rev Glasse was to- tally unaware of their plans un- til the men filed into the audi torium just before the services be- gan.
 While the gathering took the form of surprise, yet the com mittee stated it was more espec- ially intended as token of ap- preciation for Rev. Glasses suc- cessful year as minister of the

Northern Light Church, as well as the valuable services he had rem dered the community many times during the year His friendly and helpful leadership in the Norlite- men organization was also highly complimented.

CRIMSON BEARS
 LOSE TITLE IN
 CLOSE CONTEST
Kayhi Wins 25-23 Satur- day-Local Girls Again
 Have Easy Game
Juneau 23, Ketchikan 25 (Boys) Juneau F, Ketchikan g (Girls)

Before a crowd that packed the gym. the Ketchikan High School boys team defeated the Crimson Bears of Juneau last Saturday night to win the second straight game and cop the interscholastic crown for 1884.
 The game was even more excit- ing than the first one and the winning basket was in the air when the timers final shot ended the fray. The final score was 25 to 23.
 Locals Lead at Half
 The Crimson Bears, although handicapped by the absence of Paul Hansen, first string center, out played Kayhi in the first half and led at that point by score of IA to 10. Scott, substituting for Han sen. played a pretty game, but was not as consistent as the for mer.
 Play speeded up after the first half and no one was sitting in the last two periods. Dutch Behrends, the Bears sparkplug at guard, went out in the fourth quarter on personal fouls and this also weakened Juneau's lineup. With the score tied at 22-all Ketchi- kan player broke free to take a shot and as the ball sailed through the air, the final gun sounded. The ball swished through the net to count and give Kayhi the ser ies and conference title.
 Coach Compliments Team
 After the game, Coach Harold Regele paid high tribute to his men. Tt was the most marvellous exhibition of real spirit and sports manship I have seen in the 20 years have been connected with athletics. I am proud of the boys,

est records of the family places them
in France, where the Comics and
Marquises Morton de Chabrillon oc-
cupied many important positions. The
first appearance in England was un-
doubtedly in the train of William the
Conqueror, as we find the record Of
Robert Comte de Mortain on Eattle
Abbey Roll and in the Domesday
Book. Robert was half-brother of the
Conqueror. The family also went to
Scotland and was established in
Dumfrieshire. where the parich of
Morton is found.
One of the first settlers of this fam
lily in America vas George. of the

thor of Mounts Relations" or Journal
