EMERGENCY RADIO CHANNEL BELONGS
 TO COAST GUARD

Many small vessel owners are en- dangering themselves and others by improper use of the U. s. Coast Guard radiotelephone frequency 2,760 kilocycles, according to Com mander E. V. Carlson, Captain of the Outer Wachusett. He said today that this matter has been brought to the attention of several Coast Guard units and must cease.
 The Coast Guard has arranged with the Federal Communications Commission, explained Carlson, for the use of the 2,670 circuit in the transmission of distress information only. The EGG, he said, will not per init it's use for any purpose other than distress calls except by Coast Guard units.
 The EGG, said Carlson, has as signed other frequencies for inter- toat communications and for ship to-sfore contacts. He stated that the indiscriminate use of 2,670 kc by small vessel operators could easily jeopardize the chances of as- sisting a troubled vessel by either preventing a message from getting through or delaying the receipt of

FLYING DOCTORS" TO ARRIVE SUNDAY;
 WILL TOUR ALASKA

"The Flying Doctors" four out standing medical specialists of the Northwest, will arrive in Juneau on Sunday to begin their tour of AL aska.

the message.
 Vessel owners were reminded by the Coast Guard officer that 2.670 is constantly monitored hy the Coast Guard, the EGG and other govern ment agencies for the safety of their vessels and to intercept non- authorized radio traffic.
 Procedure Explained
 Carlson also explained the proper procedure for sending distress call on this frequency. He pointed out that the vessel operator should state Coast Guard, this is" and then fill in the name of vessel, it's call letters, description of trouble, position, course, speed, description of vessel and type of assistance de- sired. This last could mean the re- moval of persons or request for a tow.
 Due to local ship distances and radio conditions, he explained that the distress message may be picked up by a point far distant but pointed out that action would be just as prompt.
 If assistance has been requested and it is later found unnecessary, the operator should notify the Coast Guard of this change promptly.

The regular monthly business meeting of the Soroptimist Club was held at noon Thursday in the Terrace Room of the Baranof Ho- tel, at which time many items of importance to the club were dis cussed.
 Reports O. all standing commit tees were given, including one on the activities of the special project sponsored by the Civics Committee. The club voted to hold meeting every Thursday rather than twice month as in the past. This will afford more opportunity to partici- pate more actively in club as well as civic affairs.
 Two new members, Mrs. Caroline Turner and Miss Lois M. Jund were initiated into the Soroptimist club at the meeting.
 A special meeting has been call- ed for Thursday, August 12, at noon and all members are asked to be present.

MAN FINDS S1,000 HERE; IS GIVEN $ FOR HIS HONESTY

The Triangle Cleaners are shout ing these days about how it pays to send your clothes to their shop because you won't get cleaned . One unidentified customers wife sent a gabardine shirt there last week not knowing that the shirt pocket contained S1,000 in nice pretty greenhacks.
 Eddie Cole found the money in a pocket when he went to work on the shirt and immediately notified owner A. R. Duncan, of the Tri- angle Cleaners. Duncan phoned the customer who came down yes terday to pick up his $1,000. He didn't appear too perturbed by the incident and left a $5 bill for Cole as reward to his honesty.

JUNIOR CHAMBER TO HOLD CHARTER
 NIGHT CEREMONIES

Plans for Charter Night Ban- quet and party for the Juneau Ju- nior Chamber of Commerce mem bers were made today at the busi- ness meeting of the Jr Chamber in the Gold Room of the Baranot Hotel
 Tentative date for the presenta- tion ceremonies is Auguest 27 at the Salmon Creek Country Club. Robert Graham, Vice President of the U. s. Junior Chamber of Com merce, and other officials are plan ming to come north for observance here, in Anchorage and Fairbanks.
 Peter Wood is chairman for the event, assisted by Joe Mangan. De- tailed plans are now underway with the receipt of lett from Robert Richards, National Executive Sec retary of External Affairs, who said the Clubs constitution is acceptable to the organization. The U. s. Jr. c. of c. approved the age limit of 40 years for membership. A charter for the local club is now being pre- pared.
 Members today approved unani- mously the Chambers new constitu- ton.
 Howard Privet of KINY was in- troduced as a new member. President Dean Goodwin announced a Board of Governors meeting is slated for Tuesday night at the home of Peter Warner.
 A prospectus for the development of Juneau which the Junior Cham Der is going to prepare for submis- sion to the U. s. Congress Appro- priations Committee, James P Davis, Director of the Divisions of Terri tories for the Department of Inte- rior, Delegate Bartlett and others, was discussed considerably.
 The Junior Chamber is urging dredging of the Mendenhall bar and the small boat harbor and ex- tension and improvement of the Ju- neau airport. It plans to compile all significant information available on these subjects to place in proper government channels. It is hoped the report will point out to the federal government the congestion and fire hazard conditions at the small boat harbor, and the need for dredging at Mendenhall Bar. The report also will show the need for building new runways at the airport Pilot Dean Goodwin suggested that a runway starting from the east section to- ward town with another runway crossing it would solve a lot more problems than just 1,o00-foot ex- tension to the present field, due to the bad cross-winds the field is subjected frequently.
 Next regular meeting, program session, will be held Friday in the Gold Room.

Peter Henninq
80 Years Old

When one thinks of Snohomish
County and especially the North
End, one naturally thinks of Peter
Henning, of East Stanwood. He
was so years old February IL, or
rather, 80 years young. There is
another esteemed pioneer up at
Arlington who pays Peter Hen
ming the gracious compliment of
saying: Il consider Peter HenninS
to be Snohomish County's. grand
old man."
Peter Henning resides at East
Stanwood. He was born in Berg
sjo, Sweden. He came to his home
community in 1888. In other words
he has been with us 60 years.
sharing in the joys of achievement
and in the grief of disappoint-
ment We should mention h t
from 1897 to 1903 Mr.. Henning was
in Alaska and then can go on to
run down the gamut of achieve
ment: railroad contractor, road
builder, logger, miner, farmer,
banker, county commissioner, leg
islator, president of the Stevens
Pass Highway Association-truly
a builder of renown.
But we do desire to mention a
few more gracious words from
Will Verd who says of his friend
Henning: "He had his business
trials, almost like unto the trials
of Job; but when fortune favored
him he did not hide his talents
under a bushe' but increased them
hundred fold; neither did he al
low his talents to spoil him or his
family. All of us that truly know
him are proud of him as a citizen,
neighbor and friend"
Mr.. Henning now is retired and
centers his interest on his family,
four children and six grandchiI-
dren.

In these long, dark, afternoons

the entrances to business buildings

gay window displays light up the
streets and only a few luxury
wares furs, jewelry and art
goods-encourage window shop

many Firms can afford this year.
While most of the people bust

of one overshoe is a catastrophe
and rates an advertisement in the

Houses are chilly and are not
permitted to have hot water. There
