 SATURDAY NIGHT

The United Trollers of Alaska in special fund raising contest at their annual spring dance Saturday night contributed $1OO to the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce for the city ambulance. The money was presented to Dean Goodwin president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce.

 All in all, the Trollers dance was big success and all reasons for success can be given to the unstint- ing efforts of Jack Manery and his committee.
 The decorations carried out the troller idea from the shiny brass pilots wheel in the refreshment room to the model of Lawrence Swanson's troller Arctic. The Arctic was suspended from the ceiling of the CIO hall where the dance was held
 Dancing started at 10 o'clock and lasted until o'clock Sunday morn ing with the crowd never losing it's enthusiasm for polkas, schot- tisches, and Swedish waltzes. No one wanted the dance to end when it did with the crowd never thin ming down during the entire eve ming.
 Refreshments for the dance were free and consisted of 50 pounds of smoked salmon, 80 loaves of sand wich bread to make Is baked hams into sandwiches with 40 pounds ot butter and five gallons of dill pick les. Liquid refreshments went with the food.
 Special guests for the evening were Felix Gray, U. s .Commis- s.oner, Representatives and Sena- tors, and Andy Barlow, secretary of the United Trollers of Alaska.
 The Trollers today asked the Elm pire, for them, to thank the merch- ants and fish buyers for theil donations which made the affair it's complete success.

Representative H. Carl Andersen

man despite the 54-to-50 vote by
the committee in Omaha to table
an custer resolution.
MIR. Andersen told a reporter that
in his opinion so votes in opposition
to Mr.. Scott on a committee Of 105
members should prompt him to re-
sign "for the good of everybody
concerned"
PERSONALLY. I have the highest
regard for Mr.. Scott" he said, but
I believe 1t would be best for the
party If a new man could come in. "

Senator Aiken of Vermont: The
Democrats have thrived on dissen-

thing for the Republicans, too"
