THOUSANDS SIGN
 RECORD BOOK AT MT. JUNEAU TOP

The canvas-bound register from the top of Mt. Juneau, which has weathered the elements for the past 10 years, has been turned over to Curator Keithahn of the Territorial Museum where it will be placed on display. . The well-worn book, filled with over 1900 names, is written evidence of the recreational attrac- tion that the mountains have for the tourists and the residents of Juneau.
 The register was placed on the top of Mt. Juneau in 1884 by members of the U. s. Coast Guard vessel Tal- lapoosa. A tin box to protect the cook was set up on a wooden frame by the Coast Guardsmen during that year, and has survived the storms until this date.
 Analysis Of Record An analysis of the 10-year record brings out some interesting facts as 1527 individual climbers signed the book during this period, and AZ different states were given as home addresses. England, Norway, Cam ada, Germany and Honolulu were also shown as home ports. This in- formation indicates that Juneau should not underestimate the recre- ational appeal of it's superb noun tain terrain in planning for tourists after the war.
 It is estimated that approximately half of those climbing the mountain did not register, and at least one- half of those attempting the climb did not reach the top. Using these figures, it is indicated that at least 5000 people left Juneau on some morning during the past ten years with the ambition of climbing Mount Juneau
 The written comments of the climbers upon reaching the summit are very interesting and vary from complete elation to utter despair. The majority were concerned with thirst or hunger and the beauty of the view.
 Hard Trail
 The record which has been turn ed in to the Museum is interesting in light of several unfortunate in- cidents that have occurred in the proximity of Mt. Juneau during the past few years. The records indi- cate that a greater number of peo- pde than is generally supposed have used the Mt. Juneau Trail without misfortune. The trail, incidentally is on patented ground, outside the limits of the Tongass National Forest.
 The party which was recently lost at the bottom of the mountain did not reach the trail at all. The greatest difficulty seems to have been with those entirely unfamiliar with the termination of the trail and with those who have used poor judgment in attempting the climb too late in the day or under hazard ous weather conditions.
 According to Joe Werner, the Ju- neau Ski Club will replace the reg ister on the top of Mt. Juneau this fall.

Loggers Hold
Important
Conference

George Neils, Robert Neils and
Mark Schoknecht were in Missoula
Thursday, Friday and Saturday at
tending a meeting of the Montana
loggers' association. They report the
highlight of the meeting was a two
day mechanics school, in which
many problems that confront log
ging mechanics were discussed
Much information was impaired
through a general discussion that
will help in the handling and main
tanning Of logging equipment.
Another important feature was
the program on the last day dealing
with problems confronting logging
superintendents, such as slash dis
posal and the manpower problem
Two government men from the ma
tional labor board were present to
discuss labor problems. They told
the loggers that practically every
able-bodied man under rs years OF
age would be called into the armed
services and that for this class OF
men there would no longer be any
deferments. The federal men had
no solution to offer as to how the
lumber industry is to maintain its
working crew nor how it is to pro-
duce the vitality needed lumber
without the required crews to main
tain production.
George Neils says the meeting
was a very worthwhile one and
that much of value was brought out
in the many discussions.

Life Saver
Articles Need
Packages

HELENA, April 4.-"Blood plas-
ma, bandages, surgical sponges,
gauze and cottons, first aid dress
ings, sulfa drugs and syrettes are
the most critical items in a long
list of life savers that are demand
ing packaging and containers for
shipment to all war fronts" E. ].
Kelley, General Salvage Secretary
for Montana, said today in an ap-
peal for increased collection 81
waste paper
Halt the people in Montana are
salvaging waste paper" said Mr..
Kelley. "The other half have not
gotten around to it yet. Our state
must change this attitude immedi-
ately. As our supply lines to the
front become longer, our packages
must be stronger, and that requires
more waste paper for containers.
Mr.. Kelley stated that 81 tons OF
supplies a month are required for
each fighting man overseas. In the
last war 43 tons of supplies per
man was sufficient.
Military demands added to essen
tiala civilian requirements come at
time when paper production is
down because of the shortage OF
its most essential ingredient-wood-
pulp. Waste paper must substitute
for lack of woodpulp Mr.. Kelley
said.
Container manufacturers can use
80 per cent waste paper to 20 per
cent pulpwood in the production Of
shipping containers, whereas they
ara now forced to use so per CEN
waste paper to SO per cent pulp.
wood. Increased collection OF waste
paper is, therefore, the only guar
antee OF meeting container produc-
ton requirements.

Teaching Libby
Boys How
Cook

Everyone knows that war brings
many changes in the regular rou-
tine of life. One of such changes to
appear recently is announcement
that the domestic science depart
ment of the Libby schools has made
arrangements to teach boys how to
cook. A considerable class is already
assured, IL high school boys having
signified their intention to take the
course. The class is open to adults
and they are urged to- take adj
vantage of it.
Il earnestly urge all boys who are
planning to go onto forest lookouts
this summer to enroll in these class
es," said A. C. Austin, Libby for
est ranger, in discussing this matter
this week. IF the boys know how
to do their own cooking they will
be able to better prepare the food
that will be provided them, which
will be not only more enjoyable
but will also give them better susie

A little Libby girl, about four
years old, was much concerned
about the war-what it was all
about and when it would stop. Her
elders, somewhat perplexed in their
attempt to explain it to the little

fighting and it would be over when
one side finally gave up and quit.
Its just like two of our ROSTERS, :
they explained. They sometimes
fight and keep at it until one Or
