CHIEF OF POLICE I5GUE5T SPEAKER
 AT LIONS MEET

Newly appointed Police Chief
 Milo Clause was speaker at to- days Lions luncheon in the Gold
 Room. Chief Clause outlined tEe activities of his department and
 stated that crime within the city has been ca the increase since
 1859, with murder and robbery rc- y9aling ths largest increases-l7 and l5 percent respectively since
 1889. Juvenile delinquency has always been and continues to be grave problem since no insti- tuition for confining delinquent youngsters exists within the Terri tory. Placement of these juveniles with outside institutions involves much red tape and often takes one to two years before confinement occurs.
 The largest headache, the Chief concluded, is drunknesses, and in
 that matter, the cooperation of
 bartenders and liquor dispensers woud aid immeasurably.
 The proposed purchase of the local lumber mill by interests who plan year around operation prompted Cash Cole to suggest that the Lions sponor movement for Ithe construction of swimming pool near that site with hot water being furnished from the mills wood burner. President Blaokerby said this project woud be brought up for discussion at the next meeing of the executive board. IThe President lso stated that the threatened increase for club meals will not go into effect and that the price will remain at SIPS. Val Poor, chairman of the box social committee, announced that the event would be postponed un- til April 26, instead of April 19, as scheduled.
 Guests at tcday's meeting were U. Gerald William of Anchorage, Paul A. Monroe of Seattle, and IR. E. Sommers of Ketchikan.
