Billy McCann, weiterweight box ing champion of Alaska, is back again in Alaska on his return to Sitka after an ill-fated attempt to crash big time in boxing in Seattle and then go east.
 McCann has been in Seattle for the six weeks training at the Drux- man Athletic gym in preparation for coming battles which Seattle promoter Nate Druxman had lined up for the likeable battler. The smiling champ ran into difficulties during his training work and suf- fered an injury which may halt all future athletic activities.
 McCann is in Juneau today ready to go to work again and icrget box in gand he also may be forced to abandon plans to be inducted into the Army along with his Alaska Ma tional Guard because of his injury. ' McCann was sparring with part her and crowded him into the ropes when low punch in the abdomen went by unnoticed. Several days later a swelling gave notice of the blow and doctors orders are for no more training. thus cutting Mc- Cam from crack at the welter- weight title this year.

 The Building and Construction Workers Union was represented by a float depicting construction camp tent. The United Cannery Workers section had 50 native wo- men marching in typical cannery work clothes.
 Other floats included those en- tered by the Retail Clerks Union and the International Longshore- mems and Warehousemen's Union, the latter being followed by some 30 I.L.U. marchers.
 The Juneau Ladies Auxiliary, Local 34, rode in uniform in a strikingly decorated car. The Ma chinsts Union, Local 514, entered two decorated wreekers and a truck from the rear end of which protruded a small boat and out board engine. All the red trucks of the Juneau Street Department were in the parade, too.
 Kids Win Prizes
 One of the most popular sections was made up of kiddies in costume, kiddies on bicycles and kiddies with their Soap-Box Derby cars decorat- ed in patriotic colors.
 First prize Soap-Box Derby en- try was that of Eddie Shafer and Art Lowell Bob Howell won second in this division and Billy Vernon took third.
 Voted best decorated bicycle was that of Robert Sommers, while Hugh Doogan took second and Eil- enc Godkins and Katherine Ba- yard were tied for third place.

Storage workers, who were arrayed on either side of a long table on their float, busy preparing real salmon for the freezing rooms. About 90 cold storage employees, dressed in their new working cover alls, followed the float.
 Third prize went to probably the most spectacular entry in the par ade. Entered by the SaWmill Work CTS, the float carried six-foot tim Der butt, with two loggers, mount ed on springboards, yielding a
 cross-cut saw on the log. Fifty sawmill workers marched behind.
 With Frank Chinella, President of the Retail Clerks Union, as field marshal, the parade moved off through Juneau streets right on time. Nor was there any lag be- tween sections. The sidewalk audi ence all along the i:ne oi march was heard to remark on the or ganization of che procession.
 Color Guard
 Leading the parade was a color guard, composed of three miners In the center of the trio and carry ing the flag was George Kezak. On either side of the flag marched Alex Zibil and Nick Weber.
 Next came Juneau's fire truck and Volunteer Fire Department red finish and polished brass of the truck sparkling in the bright morning sun.

cd by Field have not been studied for long time, he stated, while others were visited by Field on a former expedition here in 1885 Pri- or to that time, they were studied by Professor William s. Cooper, of the University of Minnesota and his assistant. Dr. Donald Lawrence Lawrence is with Field on this trip and has carried on the work start ed by Cooper since 1916 in Gla- cier Bay.
 For the past three weeks, the Field party has been in Glacier Bay, visiting inlets and establish ing the present extent of the ice, even making studies of the thick ness of the ice where measurement was possible. On the present trip they intend to study glaciers at Taku Inlet, Tracy and Endicott Arms, Thomas Bay and LeConte Bay
 The party is also making photo graphic records of the glaciers wis., tied and studying the rapid growth of vegetation where the glaciers have receded.
 Muir Glacier is still one of the two or three most spectacular ice floes in Alaska, Field stated It has magnificent ice cap and is very active, he declared On the other hand, he considers the scen- cry in Tracy and Endicott arms as about the finest along the Southeast Alaska waterways.
 The results of the present study will be published in detail within the next year, Field said. The studies will also be continued in the future in areas of Alaska where glaciers exist in an effort to es- tablish the amount of change in them and the causes of these changes.
 1 Accompanying Field and Law renee are Anthony Ladd, whose father, Dr. w. s. Ladd. of New York, climbed Mount Fairweather several years ago; and Maynard Miller, one of the Bradford Wash- burn party to climb Mount Bertha last year.
