YUKON WAFER USE FOR ALC0A PLANT
 ON MEET ACENDA
Speaker Airs Plans for S300,000, 1000 Redul-
 lion Plant, Skdgwdy

A big step in the proposed plans for locating an aluminium reduction plant at Skagway will be taken at Ottawa, Canada, in May, George Sundborg, Alaska a Development Board consultanu told members of the Lions Club at their noon luncheon today at the Baranof.
 Discussion of the use of Yukon River headwaters in the production of power for the proposed Alumi- mum Company of America reduc- tion plant is scheduled for meet ing of the International Joint Commission in May, he said.
 Sundborg, who leaves Tor Wash ington tomorrow, plans to attend the commission meet as an Alaskan representative.
 An investment of more than $500 100000 is under consideration for the Skagway area aluminium plant, Sundtorg said. Plans include the building of a town to house more than 50,0O0 people connected with the plant.
 A break down of the investment shows 100 million for power de- velopment, 70 million for plant con- struction and 130 million for build ing of the town site.
 Annual production would be close to S15O,OO0,000 annually,S said An estimated 300 ships year would be necessary to carry ore to the plant from the mines.
 The proposed power supply plan involves a diverting of the head waters of the Yukon down the coastal range to the Skagway area This plan, Sundborg said. poses a unique problem in that the Yukon waters are located in Canadian territory. The Ottawa discussions will be held to attempt to solve this problem, he said.
 Sundborg spoke on various other phases of development in Alaska, including potential and past eco homie advances in the Territory. He was introduced by Program Chairman Peter Wood.
 A proposal by Joe Werner for the Lions Club to assist in the summer Evergreen sports program by Boo Garrett, was received with ap- proval. President George Danner turned the problem over to the Boys and Girls Committee.

Overlooking is to be avoided and
too much exercise is hard on a
dog during July and August. Some
exercise is necessary but if al
