 GUEST SPEAKER, CHAMBER LUNCH
Sir John Jeffrey Tells AL aska Impressions - Im-
 lach Talks on Herring

It was Scotch Day. at the Cham Der of Commerce luncheon today at Percy's and the members had tho pleasure of listening to two of Scot- lands able representatives Sir John Jeffrey, former Under Secre- tary of State for Scotland, who claimed Edinburgh as his home, and w. J. Imlach, who comes from the same section of Scotland, but for many years has operated herring reduction plant at Port Benny and is widely known to the Alaskan fish, ing industry.
 Sir John, father of J. s. Jeffrey, well known Juneau resident and AL aska travelling salesman, brought the Chamber an interesting account of his impressions of America and Alaska gleaned in the three months since he and Lady Jeffrey left their home in Scotland for an extended vacation.
 Climatic conditions in Southeast Alaska and in Edinburg compare favorably, he said, and the scenic grandeur which he had seen in the north should, he pointed out, be \ great inducement to many tourists to Alaska.
 T can see great and prosperous future for your Territory with it's virtually untapped resources and the wonderful recreation areas you have to offer" Sir John said. T was particularly impressed with the great stands of timber coming up on the steamer and it seems to me that the pulp and paper industry should thrive here"
 The distinguished visitor spoke highly of the warm reception he had received since coming to Alaska and particularly in Juneau where he said he had been showered with kindness.
 Discussing the herring industry with which he has been associated for years, both here and abroad, MT Imlach brought out that his

WASHINGTON, July lone of the neat tricks the wage-hour bill could perform would be to help es- tablish a monopoly in any one in- dustry or in several industries.
 Since the bill is intended to bene- fit labor instead of injuring it a wise administrator of the measure likely would attempt to avoid such an outcome-but the pressure would be there, both from owners and em- ployes.

Many Attended
Annual Fair At
Grassy Greek
Exciting Boxing Matches Held
Friday. Play Presented Sat.
Night

A large crowd of people attend
ed the eleventh annual Community
Fair held in the Virginia Carolina
school at Grassy Creek last Satur-
day.
A large number of fine exhibits
were on display and clearly showed
that the Grassy Creek community
is one of the best farming and live
stock raising sections in this part of
the country.
Many prizes were awarded and

First Home Game. Lansing Elc-
ven Defeated CroSSnOre i'm
Opening Battle. IL to 0.

A large crowd is expected to be on
hand tomorrow afternoon at Lansing
to see Ashe county's only football
team play the Wilkesboro high
school eleven in the first home game
of the season. The game will start
at three o'clock.
Last year Lansing won close,
hard-fought battle with the Wilkes
boro boys and tomorrow Coach Nor
phis states that he will be more than
pleased fl they can win by the same
margin.
The Lansing gridders started
things off with bang last Friday
afternoon by defeating the strong
Crossnore aggregation by the score
of IL to 0.
The hard fighting golden jersey
eleven from Lansing scored their
first touchdown as result of a
Crossnore tumble just after the ini-
tial kickoff. Line plunges carried
the ball to the shadow of the goal
line where Stike, a hard-driving
fullback, plunged over for touch
| down.
Crossnore came back with a coun-
ter attack that carried them to Lam
sings 18-yard line before being held
for downs. In the second and third
quarters Crossnore again marched
deep into Lansing's territory, but
were unable to cross the goal line.
Lansing's final score came in the
closing minutes of the game when
Clark took punt over his head on
his own 40 yard line and made a
beautiful run through the entire
Crossnore eleven to the 6 yard stripe
where he was brought down by a
charger from behind. On the next
play, Clark smashed around right
end on fake reverse and went over
the promised mark standing up.
Clark's pass to Osborne for the extra
point went just beyond the end zone,
/ and the game ended IL to 0.
Stike, Clark and Hartsog stood out
in the backfield for Lansing, while
Howell and Campbell showed up
best in the line.
