GANTYS IN TOWN
 ON WAY SOUTH

" " " wv
 Prosper Ganty, prominent young Sitka business man, with Mrs Ganty and their two children, was in Juneau today while the North Coast was in port enroute to Se- attle.
 Telling of business booming in Sitka, Ganty took time today to lobby for a new school building which is badly needed in the grow ing town.
 The housing situation is serious in Sitka, Ganty said, and five apartments that are being built for him by Ray Peterman on plans of Harold Foss, will do but little to ease the condition.
 MT. and Mrs. Ganty, Maryjane and Waffle will spend about six weeks in Seattle and in Bremerton where they will visit Mrs. Gantys mother Mrs. w. B. Jessup. While they are south they expect to be joined by Ganty's parents, MT. and Mrs. P. H. Ganty of Skag- way.
 During their short stay in Ju- neau. MT. and Mrs. Ganty were guests of Mir. and Mrs. Harold Foss and at the home of MT and Mrs. Keith Wildes.

pI0NEERS'
 HOME ANNEX
 FAVORED

Although official reports of the Legislative delegations which. re- turned today from Sitka and God dard will not be submitted for sev- eral days, individual members indi- cate here that they are pretty well agreed on recommending that a $150,OO0 appropriation be made for an annex to the Pioneers Home at Sitka, with abandonment of the Goddard location as an auxiliary home.
 Senator O. D. Cochran this after noon declared it to be his personal opinion that the best solution is em- bodied in the bill which the Senate passed two years ago but which was defeated nine to seven in the House. That bill would make the 10000 ap- propriation for an addition at Sitka.
 Pioneers Contented
 Rep. Harvey Smith said the pio- neers at Goddard appeared to be well-contef1t, but that the building was simply not satisfactory for use as a home.
 Rep. Leo Rogge, Chairman of the House Territorial Institutions Com- mittee, said "the boys at Goddard are well contented and well taken care of" He said his committee would have to hold meeting as he had no idea what the other mem- bers thought was the best solution to the Sitka- Goddard problem.
 Superintendent Filler Hansen of the Home has recommended that SITS 900 be appropriated for an ad- dition at Sitka and the Board of Budget has approved his request.
 Home Inspected
 The IT Legislators making the trip visited the Home Tuesday evening, making an inspection and inter viewing individual pioneers there. Most of the oldtimers expressed themselves as being well satisfied, Legislators reported.
 Yesterday morning at o'clock nine Legislators accompanied by Superintendent Hansen and Trus- tee H. R. VanderLeest made the trip by small boat to Goddard. They in spected the building there thorough ly and returned to Sitka at noon.
 The North Coast, which returned Legislators to Juneau, arrived in port at 3 30 o'clock this morning.

 Want Fed. Highway Aet

Memorials asking Congress to ex- tend the Federal Highway Act to Alaska and to kill the Dickstein Al aska immigration bill were intro duced in the Alaska Legislature to- day as Legislators returned from in- specting the Pioneers Home at Sitka.
 The Federal Highway Act memor- ial, by Rep. Allen Shattuck of Jul neau, urges that the benefits of a unified and systematic highway con- struction program be extended to the Territory
 Rep. Stuart Stangroom of Nome is author of the memorial attacking refugee colonization plans and the Dickstein bill (H. R. 279D in par ticular. The bill introduced in Con- greSs last month, would lump all unused immigration quotas into a single quota to allow refugees from other countries to enter the United States for the purpose. of Alaska colonization only. The memorial asks not only that this bill be not passed but that all other Alaska coloniza- tion schemes be dropped It asks further that Congress consider AL aska as part of the United States in determining immigration policy
 Appropriation Bills
 A new bill by Rep. Harvey Smith would appropriate $6,0O0 for equip ping and operating the Seldovia Hospital and another by Peterson, Smith and Egan would appropriate $40,000 for a school at Naknek.
 A resolution introduced by the House Ways and Means Committee would appropriate s400 for janitor service to clean the House and Sem ate chambers.

 First Game
SCORE AT HAYNES Juneau High, 3S; Haines High, 2G.

 McDan.els was high point for the touring J-Hi squad with 13 points to his credit, with Valencia Of the Haines five making seven field throws swish through the net. But Valencia, captain of the c la fer Bears. also was sent out on four fouls after battling hot, fast game.
 Little Haley Rice did his share, including three personals, when he knocked over a total of II points for the Juneau side of the score board
 Close Refereeing
 The two determined teams met each other in the Haines new gym nasium, after new coach Rex Allen had primed his Glacier Bears to winning pitch with two consecu- tive victories over Skagway in a two-out- of three series. Close ref ereeing marked the game as the fight ragged with the Juneau High boys getting stiff competition from the Glacier Bears. After cautious opening canto, the frame ended with the score 9 to 6 for the Crimson Bears.
 The J-High team managed to keep ahead during the game however, by sheer effort and the half ended with only one field goal in the score diff ference. But it was in the third quarter that the Juneau lads pushed the score ahead eight points while their opponents were allowed only one basket
 Game Tonight
 During the last frame the J-High squad was still going strong to pound the home team into the floor and end the first game of the series with the visitors victors, 38 to 27. To- night the Haines team will have chance for retaliation when the sec ond battle will rage for the basket ball supremacy of the two South east Alaska towns.
 Following are the individual scores made by the two teams:

 Does Not Endorse If

Disappearing of a pending Welfare Bill before the Legislature because it contains impracticable, question abl and controversial features. !" the Juneau Chamber of Commerce at it's regular luncheon meeting this noon voted unanimously that it ap- proved of the general purpose of the bill. but would not endorse it be- cause of some of it's features.
 Voting to accept the Executive Committees suggested endorsement of the legalization fo the Territorial Department of Health, the Chamber accepted the committees repor t without discussion, approving unani- mously of the report which included several suggested changes in the bill now before the Legislature.
 Welfare Bill
 The committees report on the Welfare Bill disapproved of the in- clusion of Indian children in the scope of the bill because they are the wards of the United States, not d that under the provisions only four judges have jurisdiction over children in some cases, which they claimed was impractical and takes away the power of convicting certain minors for felonies.
 Suggested Changes
 The Cham Der objected to the clause in the Health Department Legalization Bill as most objection able" which gives to the Board of Health the power to make rules and regulations which have the force of law, but have no legislative ratifi- cation The Committees endorse ment report asked for the clarifica- ton of the bill asked that laymen be included on the Board, and asked that final authority on the Board rest with the Board and not the chairman.
 In other business of the meeting Charles c Carter made a report on progress in sending Juneau can- didate to the Ice Carnival in Fair banks as Miss Juneau. He said that on February 21, or whereabouts, a Style Show will be held at the Capi- tol theatre by the Chamber in which local merchants will have candidates for Miss Juneau. A group of judges will choose the final winner to re- present Juneau.
 Each merchant is allowed three models who will appear in two show ings dressed in three costumes, for mai gowns, bathing suits and ski suits.
 Rotary Minstrel
 Carter also spoke about the Rotary Minstrel show which is raising mon- ey to establish a loan fund for pre- paratory college students in the Territory.
 Myron Christy, president of the Ski club, spoke for his organization pointing out that although the Chamber, in spite of it's close bud- getting, is guaranteeing $50 for the Miss Juneau contest, they are SUD- porting the Ski and Basketball tour- naments with only moral support.
 H. L. Faulkner said that Christy could be assured of the Chamber s cooperation and that any deficit re- sulting from the Ski Tournament in Juneau could be settled. Archie Shiels. President of the Pacific American Fisheries, and a member of the Chamber, was intro duced as was P. s. Ganty, Sitka merchant, visiting Juneau.

 Senator Ed Coffey only wants $30,000 for a school at Naknek while the House members from. his Division are asking $40,900 Both bills were introduced today.
 Identical letters from the Pet ersburg Post of the American Le- zion, Petersburg Eastern Star and Petersburg Lutheran Church Ladies Aid have been received by the Sem ate renouncing endorsement of the Department of Health bill. It seems the Petersburg Health Coun- cil did endorse the bill, and in it's endorsement mentioned these | organizations among 18 which made up the Council.
 Quite muddle exists in the en- dorsement business as a result of the Health Department Bill as introduced, differing quite mater ially from the bill which various organizations throughout Alaska endorsed In the proposed bill which was so widely endorsed the Terri torial Board of Health would be the policy making body for the Department, while the bill which Rep Allen Shattuck introduced in the House last week by request leaves the matter of policy up to the Commissioner of Health, with the Board serving in pure ly advisory capacity. Several or ganizations are said to be plan ming to disown the bill as intro- duced.
