GOAT HUNTERS SAFE AT AUX BAY AFTER
 BOAT ENGINE TROUBLE

Kenneth Junge, Juneau Police Off, ficer, James Dennis, Territorial Li- quor Board Enforcement Officer, and Steve Ward, skipper of the Betty Ross, who left Juneau aboard the gasboat Saturday afternoon, were lowed into Aux Bay last night by Ed Jahnke's gasboat from goat hunting trip which turned into a watching and waiting contest. The three mariners lay at anchor in Young's Bay with their engine broken down beyond repair and their skiff washed overheard for nearly two days before help arrived.
 K Upon leaving Juneau Saturday the Betty Ross went to Limestone Inlet where the three men intended to hunt goats, but in the absence of any sign of game they turned back and Started for Aux Bay where the gas- boat was to be put away for the win ter. Near Point Hilda the engine broke down, and while the mariners were investigating the extent of the engine trouble one of them noticed that frayed rope-end marked the spot where they had last seen their skiff.
 The Betty Ross drifted into the head of Youngs Bay and when only about 300 yards offshore the anchor was cast Watches were appointed but no other craft appeared until yes terday afternoon when Bill Watson arrived in a row boat. Officer Junge started out with Watson to row to Horse and Colt Islands to obtain help, when Ed Jahnke arrived in his gasboat. Junge returned to the Betty Ross and the boat was lowed to Aux Bay, arriving there at 6:30 pm.

Installation of New Bottling Line for Glenmore
 Tells Story

? LOUISVILLE, Ky, Dec. IT, Prosperity returning2- It's here, said Frank B. Thompson, President of Glenmore, Kentucky's largest dis tillery, in an interview today Right now we are nearly three weeks be- hind orders, thousands of cases on all of our brands-and we won't be able to catch up till our new bottling line, now being installed, is com pleted
 For the past six weeks we've been operating on 24-hour schedule, and even so, we've not been able to keep the pace.
 Return of Confidence
 How do account for it? Simply a complete return of confidence on the part of the public-a loosening of the flood gates of pent up desire to have the fine things, the real things again. The people are buying they are buying all-wool clothes, all- leather shoes, real diamonds, and real whiskies.
 When we built our huge bottling plant last Spring we felt assured the swing of public preference for the Straight Americ n Whistles and blends of straight whistles was cer- tainly coming-and we felt we had amply prepared for it. No one could foresee that it would come so quickly or in such tremendous volume. Growing Demand l nOur great stocks of Kentucky whiskies now ageing in the wood, and constantly being added to, are far more than sufficient to supply all existing needs, but bottling is literal ly the neck of the bottle in this matter of meeting today's demand for quality liquors. The completion of this new bottling line will ease the present situation greatly, for our wholesale and retail outlets, as well as for ourselves-but it won't come within shooting distance of enabling us to meet the constantly growing de- mand." - s'os
