BRINGING FEM NORTH

In working to get the district convention of Ro- tary for Juneau next year it is estimated by those who are sponsoring the idea that it will bring least S3oOOO into the city from the Outside This estimate is based on thousand persons here for three days, spending at least ten dollars a day each, which is conservative figuring for convention delegates Many will spend great deal more but it appears fair to assume that an average of ten dollars per day for each individual is not far off.
 The plan of getting large convention for Alaska tends to stimulate the imagination toward the pos abilities of making the Territory a real summer recreation land just Hawaii is outstanding winter resort Getting a convention two is an excellent way to start that trek north
 We have had flag ends of conventions before. Masons Elks and others holding their conventions the west coast have in the past arranged Alaska excursion parties when their business sessions were over These have bolsered the Alaska vacation idea no small way but if large convention can really be brought to the norhand it will tend to give the Alaska summer vacation idea much substan- tial boost
 In presenting eight-mion- dollar Alaska pro- gram to the United States Senate yesterday Senator Lewis B. Schwellenbach of Washington state listed a million dollars of the total figure for hotels and tour facilities Back of that the thought that the Territory is headed toward becoming much more of a recreation area than it now is.
 There is no doubt about it. The trek is north ward Every person in the States who has heard of Alaska, and most of them have plan trip some time to Alaska. Our job Alaskans is to promote that spirit in every way that we so that those ambitions may be realized One way to do it is to go after conventions just as the Juneau Rotary Club is doing right
 If we stew little less about finances on a basis of 6O0O0 persons and direct efforts toward an Alaska of 100000 persons and more will be ac- complaining great deal more for the benefit of all of us What most of need injection of booster serum to counteract natural desire for soothing sirup
