 1,260 Men Leave
 The cruisers, which had brought 1.26O men here for three day visit, left after having received the best of Juneau hospitality. Dances, crew races, basketball games and baseball contests were some of the highlights of the program arranged by the Chamber of Commerce.
 Many similar events probably will be staged later this week. when more cruisers and destroyers call in Gastineau Channel. However, no formal program of welcome has been arranged for the Barry, which arrived today, because her visit had not been announced previously.

With three other vessels of her type, the Barry has been lying in Aux Bay since Saturday. The other members of the division are: U. s. Childs CAD, U. S. S.. Gilmer t233, U. s s. William son (244).

The picturesque bay will be the divisions base until Sunday, when the southbound return will be made. Over the weekend, residents of summer cabins "out the Highway" gave the Navy visitors an informal welcome, with the principal item Iof entertainment being fishing.
