President of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce.
 MT. Carter first joined the Ju- neau Volunteer Bremen in 1899 and served IT years with the or ganization. In 1916, he resigned as Assistant Chief
 He states that the many frame buildings and wooden docks that had by then sprung up, since Ju- neau's founding in 1884, made it vital that an efficient fire depart ment be maintained.
 However, being a member of the fire department in the days before the automobile and truck was no easy job, relates MT. Carter. Men were chosen for their physical stamina and fleetness of foot. Of ten it was necessary for three or four men to pull the heavy hose cart for many blocks, reaching their destination in state of

near collapse. Since the security of the community depended upon speed, practice runs were frequent and the fastest men in town were at premium. Tom Foster, pro- fessional footracer and reputedly a lo-second man, was highly es- teemed by the local fire depart ment.
 The present Chamber proxy re- calls that, in 1900, the fire depart ment was made up of two hose companies and one hook-and-lad- der company Headquarters were in an old building at the same To- cation as the present Fire Hall. John J. Clark, who worked for the Novel; Company, was secretary of the Bremen.
 The worst fire disaster in Ju- nsau's history occurred in 1910, accounts MT Carter. That disas- ter was the burning of the old Ju- neau Hotel, located near the pres ent American Legion Dugout site. Seven persons were trapped and perished on the third floor of the wooden structure as firemen battled furiously fo rmany hours to keep the flames from consuming the en- tire block.
 In 1900, the Fire Department rented the old building which now
 ouses the Juneau USO and used it as a community center for dan ces and other social functions. In carly days, MT Carter states the community depsnded much on the fire department, which was the iveliest organization in Juneau. The City was solidly behind any thing sponsored by the depart ment. Highlights of each year were

 Mir Heads statement follows:
 "The theme of the Boy Scouts of America for the year 1946 is Scouts of the World - Building Together Regardless of what treat ies or agreements may be made ~by the nations of the world, in the last analysis what happens to our hopes for world peace for the next fifty years depends upon what hap pens in the lives of boys growing up here in America and in the countries of Europe.
 If we can impress upon these boys principles of friendliness and mutual respect, we shall go long way toward establishing a better understanding among the nations of the world
 Here in America we have near ly two million members of the Boy Scouts of America. Throughout the world there are approximately three million Scouts and Leaders.
 The Scout Program seeks to train these boys for service to oth- CTS and useful citizenship. With these millions of Scouts thoughout the world We believe something truly magnificent can he done.
 We hope to develop body of men who, because of their Scout training, will stand out in their native lands as our Boy Scouts stand out here in America, dedi- cated to the same ideals of Scout ing as expressed in our Scout Oath and Law. Together they will, we believe, help to bring about last ing peace and build better world for the future

Price Doubles

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, July 10.
-P)-Captain Roger Williams,
executive vice-president of the
Newport News Shipbuilding and
Drydock company, said Thursday
if was true that present contract
prices on electrical turbine equip
ment for Russian use On the war
wrecked Dnepr dam were more
than double the 1880 prices when
the original contracts were sign
ed.
This regrettable increase in
price is due to the effect of in
creased labor costs in the United
States" he said, land is not at all
peculiar to u industry.
.'This circumstance was recog-
nized by the Russians before the
present purchase was made"
Williams said his company was
prepared at any time to furnish ad-
ditional hydraulic equipment to
Russia but had not yet been ap-
preached on the matter.
A news story from Russia said
that Fedor Loginov, in charge of
the Dnepr dam reconstruction pro-
ject, complained that American
manufacturers were trying to take
our clothes off" and that Russia
might have to turn elsewhere for
the equipment or manufacture
much of it herself if firms in the
United States continued to demand
high prices.
