LIQUOR REQUEST SHOULD BE IN BEFORE JUNE 1
30-Day Notice of Applica- ton Required Under
 Law, Says Boyle

Those taking out liquor licenses under the new regulations should get their applications in before the first of the month if they propose to handle liquor in July, it was pointed out today by Auditor Frank A. Boyle, Secretary of the Board of Liquor Control. All present licenses expire the last of June, and under the new set-up applications must be in so that 30 days notice can be given of the application as provided for under the statute. If applications are not in by the first of June there will not be sufficient time to give public notice before expiration of the old licenses.
 Several questions have been. ask ed of the right of beverage dispen- saries to sell beer and wine by the package for consumption off the premises, MT. Boyle said, and he explained that under the new regu- lations beverage dispensaries can sell beer and wine either by the glass or bottle for consumption eith- CT on or off the premises, the only limitation being that they cannot sell more than five gallons to any enc person in any one day
 Tn ether words g beverage dis pensary does not need retail beer and wine license if it has a dis pensary permit he said.

 CHANNEL LINE
Heavy Steel Construction Prevents Heavy Dam
 age-None Hurt

Toppled by high wind, a spruce tree fell lengtnwise across the new 3o-passenger bus of the Channel Bus Line yesterday afternoon near the Aux Bay Store on the Glacier Highway.
 None of the three persons in the bus at the time of the accident were injured. Walter H. Bacon, owner of the bus company. said today that the damage to the vehicle will be repaired in time to place it back in service on Saturday.
 The bus was standing near the Aux Bay Store about o'clock yes- terday afternoon, Bacon said, when a squall started blowing. Without warning, a tree, measuring 10 inch es in diameter, crashed down on the roof of the bus.
 Thanks to the heavy steel con- struction of the bus, none of us in the car were hurt, Bacon said. The windshield was broken by the weight of the tree and the roof was dented. However no damage was done to the motor or seats"
 Bacon, his wife. and Mrs. Roscoe Laughlin, wife of the proprietor of the Aux Bay Store, were sitting in the bus when the accident occurred.
 The repair work is being done by the Juneau Motors Company. The bus, recently arrived from Seattle, had been in service only a few weeks.

POPPY DAY
 PLANS MADE
 FOR JUNEAU.
Volunteer Workers Are to Sell Memorials on
 Saturday, May 5

Complete plans for the observ- ance of Poppy Day here on Sat urday. May 25, were announced by Mrs. Bess Reeder, Poppy Com mittee Chairman of the Afford John Bradford Unit of the Amer ican Legion Auxiliary, following a. special meeting of the commit tee. Organization of a corps of volunteer workers to carry out the distribution of the memorial pop pies throughout the city was com- pleted and leaders appointed to direct the work in the various areas.
 The American Legion Auxiliary peoples will be distributed entirely by volunteer workers" said Mrs. Reeder. "The response to our call lar volunteers has been very grati- lying from both our senior and junior members, and we will be able to give everyone in the city an opportunity to wear poppy on Poppy Day. As the workers will serve entirely without pay or com mission, every penny contributed in exchange for the flowers will go to the welfare activities of the Legion and Auxiliary.
 "The enthusiasm of our women for the Poppy Day project is due to the two great purposes which the little memorial flower achieves. First, it pays tribute to those gal Iant youngS men who sacrificed their lives in defense of American ideals On the poppy studded battle fields of France and Belgium. Sec ond it raises funds for the relief and rehabilitation of the living vic tins of the war, the disabled vet erans, their families and the fam lilies of the dead. We are hoping that the people of Juneau will understand the significance of the poppy and give us their support on Poppy Day"

Bottle In Pocket
 "NOt Evidence"

When a bottle of liquor is found in q coat on tavern or restaurant premises 1t is up to the state to show that 1t was there for the purpose of sale and not the property of a cus- toner, 1t was ruled in city court to-day by Judge Edward MascolO. The judge granted a discharge to Anthony De. Luca, 52, of 21 Meriline ave. nue, operator of a restaurant at 253 Bank street, who was arrested by the emergency squad after a raid in which a bottle of liquor was found in the pocket of a coat hanging on n hook in the establish mcnt.
 During the hearing, Prose- cutOr Mitchell Meyers, after 1t had been testified that the coat and the liquor belonged to customers, declared: "It's well known, your honor, that in a lot of these places liquor is kept in coats so that the operators of the place can dis claim ownership of it in case the police come in."
 John Gibson of 411 West Main street claimed ownership of the bottle of liquor seized in the raid, while James Cote testified that the coat in which the bottle was found was his. Patrolman Fred Hickey, the only state witness, testified that the bottle i'm the coat was the only liquor found on the premises, but that 8 gallon of cOIOred alcohol had been found on premises fin the rear of De Lucas place. De Luca himself failed to take the stand.
 DeLuca's place was raided early in the month by Pa- trOlmen Fred Hickey and Pat trick MoyIan of the emergency squad, assisted by PatrOlmen Ernest Pakul and Patrick HO- bart.

 trol board has met the challenge of New York lower-price pro-
 ducers by cancelling all resale or
 retail prices and slashing the price of basic milk one cent a quart,
 effective April l.
 After that date, the board an- nounced, the basic price to pro- ducers will be six and one-half cents a quart.
 "The board feels that this is . long range policy which will re- tain the Connecticut market for Connecticut producers" a state ment read, "an dwhich should ma- terially increase the use of milk by consumers" Set prices for cream to consum- erE also were abandoned. In announcing the new policy, the board revealed it twill conccn- trate all the resources at its com mand on maintaining the estab- 1ished prices and payments to producers"
 The market, after April l, will be thrown open to competition Tor the first time since the board be- came operative in August, 1883. Chairman Charles G.

 'Let us not forget that the bur- den of His ministry was to teach virtue and destroy vice.
 His work was to draw His listeners to God by inspiring them to better lives.
 Popular religion seems to teach that our work is to correct others instead of ourselves.

A call for an appreciation of spiritual instead of material values was made in a sermon Sunday at St Mary's church, Bridgeport, by Rev Leo Finn, former pas- tor of St Mary Magdalen church in Oakville. In remarks ob- viously directed at Rev Charles Coughlin and his National Union of Social Justice, Father Finn called on his parishioners to be- come more interested in their own destiny than in world and national problems.
 Father Finn declared that "driv- ing the money changers from the temple" was but one part of Christ's ministry. All through his sermon he called for a return to "old- fashioned religion" and less emphasis on "solving world diffi- culties, talking gold and silver standards and fiaying international bankers"
