CHAMBER TURNS DOWN PROPOSAL
 ON SNOW QUEEN
Committee Opposes Furth- CT Burden on Community
 in View of Other Affairs

Following meeting last night of the Executive Board of the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce and the special committee named by President Charles w. Carter to look into the proposal of sending girl representative to the Ice Carnival at Fairbanks next month, it was announced that the Chamber would not sponsor snow queen"
 It was stated that due to the many fund-raising campaigns in the community at this time, particularly the drive to raise money to care for the unemployed, the majority of the committee and the Executive Board did not feel the community should be asked, to support such venture
 The committees report said:
 While the committee is heartily in accord with the idea of having Juneau representative at Fair banks and feels that the Fairbanks Carnival is fine Alaska venture it also finds that the matter of fin ancing representative to the car- nival would be thrusting another burden on this community at a time when the citizens of Juneau already are being asked to support many other undertakings"
