STEVENS RETIRE5
 WORK; GOES NORTH
 TO VISIT DAUGHTER

Ray H. Stevens, for approximately 40 years resident of Juneau and prominent in business and fraternal circles, and for the past eight years the Chief of Benefits of the En- ployment Security Commission, will retire from active duties on January l.
 He and his wife, operator of the apparel shop which bears their name. left Saturday to spend the holidays with their daughter, Mrs. Rorert Hoopes of Fairbanks. Accrued vacation time due him came just right so he could travel north.
 Although active and with no thought of taking it easy in mind, Stevens was forced to retire be- cause of his age-more than 70. But he will continue to keep books for Mrs. Stevens, keep busy at his clubs, and be travelling outside on buying trips.
 A going-away party was given him in his Goldstein Building office Friday afternoon, at which he was presented with beautiful piece of luggage, and scroll signed by each member of the staff with whom he worked.
 Before going with the Commits sion. he was cashier for the First National Bank many years, and did accounting work prior to that. He was an accomplished musician, having played the saxophone for dance bands around Juneau many years ago.
 He was secretary of the Moose at one time, and is still active with that organization, as well as the Elks Club.
 No one at his former office ex- poets him to just sit back ana smoke a pipe, because up to the last day he worked he was first Ill the office and last to leave, they said. It was planned to give him his farewell on December 29 Tn Douglas, when the Commission has it's annual dinner and holiday cele- bration, but his going north rushed the date week.
