Rev. GIasse
 Is Leaving
 Church Here
Accepts Pasiorafe of Firsi Presbyterian Church
 in Albany, Oregon


 The Rev. John A. Glasse, whC came to Juneau eight and on' hals years ago from Arcadia, Cal. to accept the pastorate of th' Northern Light Presbyterian Church, has been called to become pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Albany, Ore, and witf his family, plans to leave for his new charge July l.
 In an official statement today the Rev. Chase says;
 T regret exceedingly that this announcement could not have been made directly to my own people at the service yesterday morning, but the action involved in this statement had not actually been taken until after that hour There fore. with thanks to the news papers. I am taking the first op- portunity to advise the members and constituents of the Northern Light Presbyterian Church that have been unanimously called to become the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Albany Ore. and that our tentative plan is to conclude our Juneau minis try by July in order to begin at Albany on July 15.
 ITO many this action will noi come as a surprise, since 1t has been known to them that with OH two boys now ready for college we would move when suitable change could be made; in fact, the Elders of the congregation have known since my recent return from a visit to the States that this call was probability, needing only time for legal meeting at AL bany to make it a fact.
 "Of course, we make this change with mingled feelings of real re- gret and great expectancy; and with thanks to God for the many happy fellowshipS of the past elehl and a half years. shall be glad to make a more detailed statement at the service next Sunday morn- ing"
 Both the Rev. Chase and Mrs Glasse have been instrumental ln organizing and successfully con ducting several prominent and in- fluential societies or clubs of the Northern Light Presb y teri n Church. During the pastorate oi the Rev. Chase, many improve .ments have been made to tn church and the church debt has been removed. The membership has also increased. One of the organi- cations formed during the Rev Glasses pastorate was the Chapel by-the-Lake on the Glacier High way at Aux Lake, which is now in flourishing condition.
 Mrs. Chase has been prominent not only in church activities but in other civic organizations, especi- ally the Girl Scouts.

CLIMBERS GROSS BARAN0F ISLAND
 FOR FIRST TIME
Sitka Pliers Disprove Rus sian Legend of Trail to
 Warm Springs Bay

Believed to be the first men ever to climb across the rugged backbone of Baranof Island from Sitka to Warm Springs Bay, a party of three fliers from the Naval Air Station at Sitka completed the hazardous trip June l, according to information re- ceived from Fred Bahovec of Warm Springs Bay.
 The crossing blasted an old legend that the Russians had a trail over the route, for Ensign J. E. Litsey leader of the climbers, said the trek never could have been made with out modern climbing equipment and the assistance of air reconnaissance
 Three Day Trip
 Accompanying 'Litsey on the trip were Lieut.. o. B, Jones and Ensigi' Bill Thies. They left Bear Cove or Silver Bay at 8:30 o'clock the morn Ing of May 30 and rounded the heao of Baranof Lake to see Warn Springs Bay at 4:02 o'clock the af- ternoon of June l..
 In between was trip which Lit sey, boy born in Fairbanks, and who has climbed almost all the more difficult peaks of the United States and many in Alaska. said was over "the hardest and toughest country I have ever been over in my life"
 Litsey said the trip could not pos sibly be made in the opposite di- rection. The only possible crossing is by way of vertical snow covered chimney with 10-foot overhang al top. The climbers reached this point the evening of the first day and camped overnight at the foot of the chimney as it was considered toe dangerous to tackle that late in the day.
 Easy on Top
 After scaling the chimney, with it's averhanging of snow and ice, the climbers found fair going toward she canyon at the head of Baranof Lake. A number of goats were seen on the distant benches.
 Great difficulties were encounter ed on the way down the Chatham Strait side of the range Time and again the climbers had to lower themselves on ropes over hanging cliffs.
 An old legend said the Russians cnce crossed by land from Sitka tc Warm Springs Bay, distance ot only 10 miles as the eagle flies, but the young fliers are sure the legend is false.
