SWIMMING POOL DRIVE STARTED
 BY JUNEAU 6. C,
Judge Alexander, Rev. Ken dall Plead for Facilities
 for Boys and Girls
FOLTA'S COMMITTEE
 TO ACT IMMEDIATELY
Possibility to Get Project Started Un der PWA
 Grant, Loan Foreseen

Launching again into the move nient to establish a swimming pool and recreation center for children in Juneau so that tragedies such as occurred at the weekend might not re-occur, the Juneau Chamber of Commerce at its luncheon meeting today went on record to get behind such movement and work toward that end.
 After hearing some straight talks from Federal Judge George F. AL exander and the Rev. O. L. Kendall on the crying need of such center in the city, the Chamber endorsed the suggestion of President George w. Folta to name a committee with authority to proceed immediately to gather information and work with city authorities in an effort to get the project started.
 Names Committee
 Named to the committee were the Rev. O. l.. Kendall, Dr. George F. Freeburger and M. J. Wilcox, all men who have been interested pre- viously in such an undertaking for Juneau.
 Tt is crying shame that town of this size has no place where children can have the advantages of supervised swimming and recrea- tion." declared Judge Alexander. We need not only a swimming pool but a general community center; a building, perhaps, which would house the library, offer athletic and gymnasium facilities as well as af- fording swimming pool
 High Time to Act
 It is high time, the Judge said, that action is taken toward that end. He recounted the efforts of himself and other public spirited citizens two years ago in trying to get such a plan started, and pointed out that it may be still possible to get Fed eral aid for such a project under the grant and loan setup.
 Tt is the best investment this or any other community can make, " he declared.
 Just how long is this community going to stand for it?" demanded the Rev. MT Kendall, as he point ed out the total lack of facilities for boys and girls, and touched on the Heisel tragedy. Two years ago I brought this matter before this Chamber, and we talked about it, but nothing came of it. How long are we going to stand idly by and do nothing to protect our boys and girls against such tragedies as this most recent one. Two years ago it was drowning tragedy that inspired the movement. But we have done nothing. I ask you, how

E R. JAEGER, 10, EARLY ALASKAN,
 DIES IN STATES
Father of Mrs. Simpso n MacKinnon, Local Prop
 erty Owner, Passes

E. R. Jaeger, TO, father of Mrs. Simpson MacKinnon of Juneau and prominent pioneering Alaskan, died suddenly Wednesday afternoon in his home in Long Beach, Cal, ac- cording to word received today by his daughter.
 MT. Jaeger, who had returned to his California home on June Il after visit in Juneau since March l, and apparently had been in the best of health. No cause of death was given in the radiogram received here.
 Coming to Juneau in January, 1895, MT. Jaeger preceded the gold rush by several years. He entered the laundry business upon his ar- rival, laying the base for the pres ent Alaska Steam Laundry, which is now operated by his son-in-law, Simpson MacKinnon.
 Builds up Business
 In the Capital City, MT. Jaeger built up flourishing laundry busi- ness, which he operated until 1919, when he sold out. The business changed hands several times and was purchased by MT. MacKinnon in 1926.
 MT. Jaeger was associated with the building industry in Juneau. He, with Claude Erickson, were respon- sible for the construction of the present Hotel Gastineau in 1914 In addition, MT. Jaeger had built a number of fine residential homes throughout the city. According to relatives, he owned all of the prop erty associated with the Alaska Steam Laundry, the Bon Marche building, the Quist building, the Graves building, the John Pastl building and all the property on South Franklin Street between Dev- lins Store and the Nugget Shop
 Charter Member, Elks

TOM CIRDLER
 FIGHTING CI0
 AND SAYS so
Tells Senate Committee He Will Not Sign Any
 Treaty of Peace
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, July 8. = Tom Girdler of Republic Steel did not add to the hope for industrial peace when he told a Senate Committee that he would not sign treaty of peace with CIO until he is compell- ed to by law, and would fight the law all the way up to the Supreme Court.
 His statement took it's place in the committee records beside a statement of Philip Murray. head of the Steel Workers organization committee, that Girdler and Eugene Grace of Bethlehem Steel were outlaws"
 That briefly, is the record in the case, Girdler says he distrusts John L. Lewis. That prominent labor leader, Girdler says, is violent and irresponsible. He added, for good measure, that Murray was liar. SUSPICION
 Now isn't it a grand day when each side in labor dispute thinks the other is violent and irresponsi- ble, or possessed of all the criminal traits of Jesse James?
 It is a cankerous condition, bad for workers and bad for the indus try and there is no law that can be enacted that will overcome the ex- istence of such distrust.
 Perhaps Al Smith had the right idea when he suggested that one of the best treatments is time. and that such labor fights finally sim mer out.
 The country was almost incredu- lous when Big Steel capitulated to the Lewis forces without more than a preliminary scuffle. CIO then began its drive for an agreement

Cooking In the skin-whether in

AS soon as the potato is mature it can

THE pleasing mealiness Of a baked
potato is gradually lost as the potato
cools or steams. So the cook should do
some pretty close timing, to get it done
just as dinner is ready. To let the
steam escape and thus prevent
sogginess developing, cut a cross on
one side Of the baked potato as soon
as you get it out OF the oven. Then
pick It up lin a cloth to keep from
getting burned) and squeeze it q bit,
to loosen up the 'innards' and mako
q little of it bulge into that cross-cut
slash. If dinner is to be delayed a bit,
remove from the skins, mash, and beat
up with cream or butter, pile back into
the skins and reheat.
THE skin tells whether or not the
potato is mature enough to bake. II

If it is feathered,' the potato is
immature. If the skin is set and firm

skin also prevents the escape OF certain
volatile compounds and so results in

Have the water already boiling
