R0TARAN ASK LIONS TO HELP
 TICKET SELLING

The Lions at their regular noon luncheon today, agreed to help the Rotarians sell tickets for the forth coming Rotarian show to benefit Boy and Girl Scouting in the com munity. Rotarians Fletcher and Hanford timidiy entered the Lions lair and humbly offered two large boxes of tickets to those champion ticket sellers--the Lions Club. In fact the old men (the Rotarians) even had the nerve to challenge Ju- neau's new Lions Club to a ticket selling contest for the scouting benefit
 The show down is to come next Monday when the Rotarians will meet with the Lions. and woe to them, as the Lions welcoming com mittee consists of Lions Jim Kenny, Doc" Rude, Ed Lewis, ValsPoor, and Barney Anderson.
 Lion George Dale introduced Earl Intolubby, Superintendent of the Wrangell Institute, and Everett Tal- bot, of the U. s. Engineers, as guests today.

STICKY SNOW GUMS UP SKI
 FUN SUNDAY

Warming weather changed Satur- days powder to heavy, gummy snow for Sunday and took the edge off the enthusiasm, apparently, of most Gastineau Channel skiers.
 A comparative handful of about 25 slat devotees turned out at the Slalom course Sunday, while about ten more did their dips and slips in the Ski Bow at the head of the Douglas Ski Trail. Four skiers stay ed over Saturday night at the Upper Cabin.
 With Skiing on the Slalom hill confined to narrow packed areas, in tensified instruction, under the dir ection of Eric Sundsten, was the or der of the day for yesterday, and, de- spite the not-so-good conditions, considerable progress was made by both beginners and more advanced pupils.

A large and appreciative audience attended the concert of sacred music given by the Lutheran Senior Choir with MT. Ernest Ehler as guest solo, ist last night in the Resurrection Lutheran Church.
 The service was conducted without announcement and following the or gan prelude by Mrs Alexander, the congregation stood for the singing of the hymn Jesus Shall Reign
 The first choir number, favorite of many. people, was "Sanctus', by Gound, with MT. Ehler singing the solo. The program moved forward smoothly through variations that maintained the congregations inter- est
 In the choir number, Tn Heaven Above, Mrs. Evelyn Holman had an obligato solo, while mixed quartet composed of Eunice Nevin, Lucille Stonehouse, Ernest Ehler and Herbert Hillerman sang three num- bers.
 Eyoking the awe and deep rever- ence of the Holy Week season were the solos There Is A Green Hill" by Gounod, Thy Rebuke Hath Broken His Heart" and Behold and See" from The Messiah" by Handel which were sung by Ernest Ehler near the middle ot the program.
 The last two selections reverted to joyous praise when MT. Ehler sang King Ever Glorious" by Stain CT, and the choir closed with Christ iansen's "Wondrous Things the Lord Hath Done" This last anthem as in the case of the first one, had a solo part taken by MT Ehler, and will be long remembered by those present.
