two boys and little black dog or the trial near there. The Pattons went out this morning to look for them.
 One Rumor False
 Later Sergeant Monagle learned that George Messerschmidt's son George, IA, and Bonnie Hildre, son of Mrs. Arnold Hildre, had left yesterday for camping trip at the Salmon Creek Dam
 Police Officer Fred Bond recall ed conversation with four boys about ? o'clock yesterday afternoon at Second and Seward. The small est of them could have been an eight-year- -old, he said. Bond tried to dissuade the boys from their proposed climb of Mount Juneau.
 Through cooperation of the For est Service, two skilled climbers set out about noon today to search the slopes of Mount Juneau. Tony Thomas, already famous for his recovery of the body of a Navy climber last year, was accompanied by Ranger Harold M. Stratton.
 Another report was that the Rev. Leo H. Sweeney had picked up two boys on the highway while on his way to the Shrine of St. Terese. This was thought unlikely, however, as the group camping there is one of girls from the Catholic Parish School.
 Ronnie's father, Roman Ellers, spent much of last night search ing in the neighborhood of the family's former home at the top of Third Street.
 "Chum was strictly beach man." said a Douglas friend to- day, and his folks had brought him up with a healthy fear of bears. But Ronnie was used to the Juneau slopes, and might have suggested an expedition there"
 Among the scores of volunteers who joined the search last night were Linn A. Forrest, Jr., and Earle Hunter, 3rd, who went up the Douglas ski trail.
 Dozens of others whose names are not known, went out in boats and cars, and on foot. Some went to Hickey's at Aux Bay, where Niemi sometimes sells fish. Others checked the highways, turned spot lights on beaches, and examined spur roads.
 The Coast Guard put out two small boats in the search. FEAl
 We had no clue to work on last night said Cavanaugh, and there isn't much today. But we're not going to miss a one"
 Mayor Waino Hendrickson agreed firmly to this.
 The only description available is that the shirt Chum Niemi was wearing was short -sleeved, and that he had on a short mackinaW and white fishing cap.

Rain might have been drizzling on the streets of Juneau this noon. but Rotarians had one-hour breather from Alaskan chimes as Ed Levin, world traveller and lee- turer, did an effective job of trans porting club listeners to sunny countries south of the border.

 As he wiped his dripping fore head in the middle of his speech making. he admitted that "only on occasions like this do put on one of these collars and ties"
 Tn Mexico Levin explained, there are really only two classes of people The ups and downs, and when you're up, you're really up. and when you're down, you're living mighty low"
 He described the great Mexican cities of Guadalajara, Mexico City and Vera Cruz and gave detailed account of riding by train down the west coast of the country, taking a side trip to Matzatlan on the coast, where ."they have the kind of weather California advertises'
 To Paracutin, the volcano which has spouted forth lava and ashes to height of 300 feet since l943, Levin travelled. He described the great spectacle of bull fighting in Mexico, and the narrowing ex- perience of riding by second class bus over rugged mountain roads.
 Levin is in Juneau for the sum- mer working on research at the Museum library He was introduced by Program Chairman Ed Keit- hahn
 Frank Heintzleman brought clut members up to date on activities oi the Memorial Library Board, re- porting that interest has not diec in the project, but that severa things have caused a delay in it. promotion.
