RESERVE OFFICER UNIT IS PLANNED;
 ACTON IS TAKEN

In view of numerous requests foi Reserve Officer Unit in Juneau, a meeting of all interested was called by Col. Neil Friedman, and held last week in the council chamber Ma for E. L. Roundtree of the Alas ka Road Commission presided in the absence of Col. Friedman, W h 0 was out of town.
 Plans for the reorganization were discussed. Everyone present evinced genuine interest and a desire to participate in the new Reserve Pro- gram.
 It. Col. J. D. Alexander explained at length the provisions of Public Law 810 concerning the retirement of Reserve Officers after 20 years service. The method of accumulat- ing points and the qualifications necessary for eligibility for retire ment pay were covered.
 The group voted unanimously to request Army authorities at Anchor age to set up an appropriate unit for Juneau, which could absorb both Air and Ground Forces per- sonnel. It is anticipated that if sufficient number of enlisted re- servists indicate a desire for mem Esrship, they can be readily in- cluded.
 The following officers were pres ent at this meeting: Col. c. E. AL trocht, Major E. L. Roundtree, Major D. w. Dean, Major E. K. Erickson, Major F. L. Guertin, Capt Eric Newtould, Capt. Geo. A. Mat sen, It. w. c. Richey, It. D. w. Mahoney, It. H. B. Gronroos, It. Chas. Porter, It. Burke Riley, Lt Robt. F. Smith, and Lt Richard B Brown.
 It is believed that Juneau has a Reserve Officer potential for unit purposes of 30 to 40.
 Applications are being forwarded to Headquarters, U. S.NArmy, Alaska, together with requests for additional information and instructions. Upon receipt of new instructions, another meeting will be called.

 Wright, youngest Of the "A driv- CTS entered in the northlands pre- miere sporting event, was running fever of 102 degrees Wednesday night Still weak and shaky, he climbed out of bed Thursday and managed to come in ninth and out of the money in the first 20-mile neat.
 On Friday he pushed his string of nine dogs, including one full hlooded bird dog and a "Spownute' "a cross between a spaniel and a malemute-into third place over the same course. Then in Saturdays Windup he raced across the finish almost on the runners of the win ming sled.
 Snyder, whose home is just north Of the Arctic Circle, in north western Alaska, near Kotzebue Sound, ran fifth Thursday and sixth Friday but had the winning punch on the final day.
 Other finisner5 an1 tnelr prize money Saturday included: Eddie Galahorn, Kotzebue Eskimo, third, $500; Charlie Titus, Minto Indian, fourth, $50, for the three heats; Jake Butler, Gulkana Indian, fifth, $50.
