The 4th of July, the nations 172nd

from all indications it was peace
fully and enjoyably observed by
most Jacksonians
The streets. Sunday and Monday
were literally deserted, so it was
our guess that many Jacksonians
spent the days quietly, relaxing and
resting-there were number of
private picnics scheduled in sur
rounding communities the usual
holiday crowd packed the theatres

think this was one of the most beau

jackson and do wish for this
young couple all that is good and
beautiful in life
Now, just to keep the record
straight and this is to whom it
may concern: The last affair given
by Les Royales was not an invi-
rational affair, SO the good ladies
could not have possibly had in
mind black-balling ANYONE
For weeks, the affair had been adj
vertlsed as one from which the
proceeds would be taken to equip
the Community Fairgrounds being
sponsored by the club :. the ladies
felt that all those persons who took
advantage of their free ball some
months ago, would have appreciated
that invitation enough to look up
some member and buy one Of the
benefit tickets in short. the
only thing that blackballed anyone
from Les Royales Night of Relvery
was the $100 asked for a ticket
And :. . as far as Les Royales hav-
ing the authority to keep anyone
out of Heaven -. which to our
idea was one of the silliest express

MILDRED MAYNARD TELLS OF COURT STENoG WORK AT BpW CLUB MEETING

The Juneau BPW Club held it's regular meeting Monday noon at the Baranof Hotel with Mildred Maynard, court reporter, as guest speaker. Dick Wingerson and Claire Folta gave the selection "Hazel' in a very efficient manner which was greatly appreciated by the members.
 Miss Maynard in speaking of court reporting as profession gave some very interesting facts. She stated that the law for United States court reporters was not passed until Jan uary, 1914, by Congress and then no appropriation was made so that the first appointments were not made until July l, l945.
 Miss Maynard was first appointed in Nome and her appointment was as secretary to the Federal Judge as she could he paid as such and the practice was to also appoint the secretary as court reporter.
 In reporting for work on her first job on Friday, the Judge suggested that she spend the first week get ting acquainted with the office, the files ect. On Monday at 10 o'clock fire started near the court house and by 3 o'clock the entire business section was completely destroyed. No office, no files for reference, no | typewriter, not even piece of paper or a pencil was her experience.
 In October, 1942, Miss Maynard came to Juneau as court reporter for the First Division. She served with Judge Geo. F. Alexander and at pre- sent with Judge George w. Folta. She is a member of the National Secretaries Reporter Association and is membership chairman for AL aska, also on the committee on In- ternational Shorthand Relations.
 In 1944, President Roosevelt sign ed public law 222 which provides for the appointment of court reporters for the District Courts of the U. s. The positions are not under Civil Service so that many benefits receiv- ed by Federal Employees are not received by court reporters.
 The duties are many and varied such as attending each session ot the court and every other proceeding that may be designated by rule of procedure or order of court.
 Miss Maynard stated that there are about 200 appointees as United States Court Reporters She said a
