Says Democratic Party Has Right 10 Go 10 Polls with
 September Electors

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 25-The Texas Supreme Court unanimously enunciated the "clear right" of the state Democratic Party to go to the polls in November with a slate of Democratic presidential electors pledged to support President Roose- welt and Senator Harry s. Truman and issued a writ of mandamus compelling Secretary of State La- tham to certify them and no others. Election officials are also ordered to print them on the ballot.
 The opinion denied the conten- tion of the electors named May 23 at the regular state convention, that the May convention was the only Party session at which such nominations could be made and the Septe mb Der convention couldn't withdraw such nominations.
 Harry Seay, chairman of the State Democratic Executive Com mittee, in statement said: This great victory ends all question where electoral votes go."

Supf. of Alaska Missions, 7fh-Day Adventists, Vie-
 tim of Plane Accident

on the forehead from the crash, which possibly caused his death. The plane was lowed to the Griffin camp, the body recovered and taken to .Ketchikan.
 Burial At Ketchikan
 Services will be held next Satur- day, Adventists' Sunday, and are to be conducted by Pastor M. L. Miles of Fairbanks, who is expected to fly there to conduct the last rites. Burial will be at Ketchikan.
 Mrs. Wood, in Juneau, will leave for Ketchikan tomorrow, accom- panied by Miss Madge Muchmore. Mrs. Wood is deeply shocked over the death of her husband, her con- panion for more than 30 years.
 Other survivors are his three daughters, Mrs. Stagg in Ketchi- kan, Mrs. Delbert (Wanda) Smith and Mrs. Virgil (Virginia) House, both of Eugene, Oregon, and mother, Mrs. Lillian Wood of San Luis Obispo, California; two bro- thers, Fay Wood, Sutherlin, Oregon, and Quentin Wood, a teacher in Minnesota.
 Born In Minnesota
 Pastor Wood was born in Sauk Center, Minnesota. In his early business career he was an auto dealer. He joined the ministry 19 years ago, his first charge being at Duluth, Minnesota, then to AL berta, Canada. He came to Alaska l2 years ago. His diocese was the largest in North America, includ- ing all of Alaska, and that part of Canada drained by the Yukon River. The Adventists also main- tained large hospital at Palmer, which was under Pastor Woods supervision.
 In the early days, Pastor Wood travelled by dog team, then pur- chased two small vessels, the Dixie and Messenger. The Messenger was taken over by the Navy when the war broke out and Pastor Wood decided to take up flying at the age of 53. Being a go-getter, he went to Anchorage and enrolled in the oldtimer Dick Millers flying class. There were about 16 in the class, all youngsters compared to the pastor, but he not only passed the course with flying colors, but completed it in five days less than two months, record. He passed the CAA physical examinations easily, secured his plane and flew all over Alaska, from Point Barrow to Ketchikan. He declared flying was the easiest and cheapest mode of transportation in Alaska.

BACK AFTER CONFIRMING
 SCOTTISH RITE DEGREES

Walter B. Heisel and James w. Leivers, officers of the Scottish Rite Bodies, returned by Alaska Airlines plane Saturday afternoon after having been at Fairbanks and Anchorage in connection with the conferring of the Scottish Rite de- grees on classes of candidates in both cities. They left Juneau on September 12 and were joined in Fairbanks on September 13 by John J. Fargher and H. D. Stabler, the four officers constituting the de- gree team.
 Fargher and Stabler were to pro ceed to Nome last Saturday for similar ceremonies and expect to return to Juneau the latter part of this week
 Except for one stormy day last Monday travelling by plane from Fairbanks to Anchorage, the degree team experienced balmy Indian Summer weather at both Fairbanks and Anchorage.
 They found business conditions still on the boom" side in both cities but the housing situation is expected to be alleviated shortly due to the large number of resi- dences being 1t up in both places. The making of hotel reservations in advance is still necessary if ac- commodations are expected upon arrival, but they hope to have the situation leveled off in a few months.

Georgetown. Built about 1920 and
once fine residence, it preserves
the charm and beauty typical Of
the Colonial period. In spite of the
