ST. CLAIR SHORES-Action
on a proposed subdivision plat
for the Blossom Heath property
filed with the Village Commits
sion by an inter-racial club,
owners Of the once-fashionable
resort, was delayed this week
when it was found that the club
failed to fulfill all the legal re-
quirements.
Village Attorney Harold Z.

provisions were not met as
called for by State statute there
by necessitating a delay in the
proceedings until the club full
filled those requirements.
He said that the club had
been notified of the technical
tiles but that they had not been
fulfilled to date.
Peterson pointed out that the
otototC ASqSiiS Go tiiot tilS fIlOA L8o~
gee must join in the plat with
the club. The second technicality
was cited by Village Engineer
Claude Postiff who declared that
the blueprint of the property as
filed by the club failed to des-
cribe and point out the cement
markers as required by statute
With action on the proposed
plat nearing a showdown, men,
bers of the Chamber of Conn.,
merce committee which are
seeking funds to purchase Bios
som Heath and convert it into

HIGGINS BARGE
 ADAPTABLE 10
 ALASKA NEEDS
Vice President of Boat building Firm on Fly
 ing Trip 10 Juneau

George w. Rappleyea, Vice-Presi dent of the Higgins Industries, lo cated in New Orleans, arrived viz Pan American World Airways yes
 terday, on research trip for hi
 company.
 Inspired by the Rev. D. R. Hub bard, MT. Rappleyea extended hi! trip, which took in Latin America Mexico and the Pacific Coast, tC Alaska, where he feels there is z great possibility for the Higgins Landing Barges, which have played such a great part in the winning oi the European War and furtherance to victory in the Pacific.
 The Higgins Industries, one of the largest boat builders in the world has many types of boats such as the Welded Steel Refrigerator boat however, the most useful to Alaska would be the landing barge. This boat would cut not only transporta- tion and shipping costs, but would simplify the loading of exports and unloading of imports.
 1 As MT. Rappleyea stated, There is no need for wharfs or even haul ing facilities for this boat as the owner would have truck along with him which would make store-door deliveries and pick-ups."
 The Higgins Landing Barge is a natural for shallow waters and there is no need for fear of ground ing, as this boat is amphibious and is so developed to run up on land and discharge it's load, he said.
 MT. Rappleyea, on his visit to Juneau was able to confirm what he feels is big possibility and feels the Higgins Landing Barges would be for individual business in trans portation and importing and export ing.
 Leaving today for Seattle, he said, T have enjoyed myself immensely and am leaving with complete picture of Southeast Alaska and I am positive the Higgins Landing Barges can help further the tre- mendous possibilities of Alaska.
 MT Rappleyea gave rein to his hobby while in Juneau, putting in an appearance at the office of U. s. Marshal William T. Mahoney where he entered into a discussion of fingerprints and other identifi- cation procedures with Deputy Mar shal Syd Thompson. The boat builder is a member of organizations dealing with the subject of identifi- cation.

GLENN ALLEN IS
 NAMED DIRECTOR
 BY HOUSING COM,
Rev. 0'Connor Is Elected Chdirman-Governor to
 West with Board

I Their organizational work here completed, Alaska Housing Author ity Commissioners boarded a plane
 for Anchorage this morning, where they will continue their first meet
 ing. From Anchorage they will like
 ly go on to Fairbanks for study of
 FPHA projects there.
 At their sessions here, the Hous-
 ing Commissioners selected Glenn E. Allen, of Juneau, as Regional
 Director of the Alaska Housing Authority. Mir Allen for the past
 12 years has been associated here with the J. c. Thomas Hardware Company. Previously he resided in Seattle and Bremerton and was em- ployed by the Standard Oil Com pany in Portland, Ore. He is Gov ernor of the Juneau Moose Lodge.
 The Rev. Paul O'Connor, of Kotzebue, has been selected chair man of the Housing Board. Other members attending the sessions are: Mrs. Louise Weaver Miller, Ketchi- kan; Edward V. Davis, Anchorage, and Jake. Cropley, Juneau. Robert R. Harrop, Commissioner from Fair banks has been unable to attend the Juneau meetings.
 Accompanying the Commissioners on their Westward trip are: Gov. Gruening, Stanley A. Furman, Re- gional Counsel for the Federal Pub lie Housing Authority from Seattle and Phillip R. Ruen also from the Seattle office Both FPHA men were on hand at the Juneau sessions.
 It was decided that the Housing Commission will hold quarterly meetings, with the site of each meeting to be set separately.
 The Rev. O'Connor, spokesman, prophesied fast-developing future for the agency, which is financed wholly from revenues from housing projects under it's direction. The increasing demand for living ac- commodations in Alaska will become even more swollen with postwar migration to the Territory and is a challenge that must be met, and | which it will be the business of the l Alaska Housing Authority to meet.
 For the duration, the business of | the agency will be to operate resi- i dence developments already erected | and projected by the FPHA as war l housing. At present, principal prof ects of that type are at Anchorage, Fairbanks and Hoonah, with de- velopment at Juneau seeming as- sured. Present projects are to be turned over to the control of the | Alaska Housing Authority on July | 1 of this year.
 With the cessation of hostilities, a | wider scope for the agency will be | opened, with slum- clearance and the | elimination of b-standard housing | as principal objectives. Al

A unique feature will be the presentation of mes sages from Governors of every state and from mayors of the 1,425 cities where Elks lodges are To- cated, expressing their recognition and appreciation of the orders war activities" These activities have entailed an expenditure of more than S1,300,G00
 Although the war is only half over, as Dr. Barrett stressed, it is felt by the Elks that a review of accomplishments successfully com- pleted or now being undertaken by the Elks War Commission will serve as an inspiration for the job still to be done.
 How EIks Started

Then came our entry into the war, and the National Defense Commission became the Elks War Commission. Among some of its many activities have been the evacuation of children from war establishment of more than 400 schools for training young men desiring to take aviation cadet | courses; the recruitment of men | for the Naval Air Corps, mechanics | and technicians for the Army Air 1, Corps. and volunteers for the Army Corps of Engineers and the Navy Battalions; the col lection of books for the Merchant Marine. and the establishment of Elks Fraternal Centers throughout the United States where more than two million service men and women have enjoyed good meals, overnight hospitality and relaxation.

GUEST SPEAKER
AT LIONS CLUB

James Weinroth, of Elkton, was
guest speaker at the dinner meeting
of the Rising Sun Lions Club on
Thursday evening of last week, and
told some interesting facts and cases
that had come before him in the
Juvenile Court at Elkton. The speak
er stated that every case of Juvenile
delinquency that was tried in lis
court was directly traceable to the
Indifference of parents, total lack OF
parental influence and religious
training. The speaker also stated that
in most cases it was really parental
delinquency, as the children brought
before him had been permitted to
run at large without any restraint.
Following the dinner a zone meet
ing was held at the Scout Cabin, pre-
sided over by Past President Bodine
and attended by the Presidents and
Secretaries of Wilmington Manor
Lions Club, Perryville Lions Club,
