Fletcher Reveals Plans Pan American to Move
 Into Building

Plans for remodeling the store section of the Baranof Hotel build ing were revealed today by Man ager Jack Fletcher, just returned from a trip of several weeks to the States, in connection with arrangements for redecoration and purchase of fixtures.
 The Baranof Bar will be moved into the store space now occupied by the Charles Goldstein Fur Store. Into the front part of the present bar location an office for Pan American Airways will be installed. The Bubble Room will be made into supper room. Flet- cher said the new cocktail bar will be the finest in Alaska"
 The firm doing the decorating will be Walter M. Ballard and Company, a representative of which will be in Juneau to supervise con- struction work and decorating.
 While in San Francisco, Fletcher attended two Rotary Club meetings and one in Seattle Conferring with other members of the committee appointed to re-distribute Rotary Club areas, it was decided to in- clude Alaska, Western British Columbia and Western Washington, as far south as the Columbia River, into one zone.
 While visiting in Marysville, Cali fornia, where he formerly lived for 13 years, Fletcher met Michael Sweeney, former Empire reporter, who is now on the staff of the AppealDemocrat of that city.
 The Baranof Hotel manager said he was glad to be back home and that travel in the States was very difficult at the present time. Just try to get out of San Francisco" he said, referring to the six days it took him to obtain, transporta- tion north.
