GIRL SCOUT DRIVE
 TO START M0NDAY

A large corps of volunteer work CTS will be on the job Monday to put the Girl Scout Finance drive over the top. While a good share of scouting is carried on by non- paid personnel there are many necessary items of expense which must be met in order to maintain the organization.
 The largest single expenditure is the Eagle River camping which cost $2,100 last year, the girls them- selves contributing $1,250 as their share. A total of $4O0 was spent for troop supplies. arts and crafts ma terials, office supplies, national field service and the World Conference,
 In this district there are IA troops with a total of 250 girls ranging in age from second graders through high school. This program cannot continue without the support of the citizens of Juneau and Douglas, Fred Henning, finance chairman said. He added he was greatly en- couraged by the cooperation shown by workers who have cheerfully volunteered to solicit contributions. We feel certain that their enthu- siasm and the cooperation of the citizens of this area will put us over the top.

WORD AWAITED ON WATER RIGHTS LAW

Seeking to untangle the problem of water rights in the territory the Alaska Field Committee is now awaitirty word from Washington that preliminary draft of a water law has been drawn up for ust in Alaska, it was brought out ir the Committees minutes, recently released.
 At first, the Bureau of Reclama- ton in the capital suggested bal association committee be asked to draw up law, but this was op- posed by field committee members because of the associations lack o1 experience with water rights, with the exception of mining usages.
 A subcommittee, composed of. R c. Johnson, assistant chief of the Alaska Investigation Office. and J Gerald Williams, Territorial At torney General, was to obtain copies of similar laws in the states so that the best possible law could be written.
 After drafting in Washington, a copy would be circulated among in- terested groups in Alaska for con- ment, and upon approval, it would be submitted to the next Territorial Legislature for action.
 Kenneth J. Kadow pointed out that Anchorage at present is in nothing less than mess" over water rights, simply because no law exists to define rights.
 The military group there, the railroad, the city, and others all have rights in a creek running through the city, but the question is-who comes first? Existence of a properly-worded water law would preclude such problems and squab- bles. he pointed out.
 A suggestion that copy of Wyoming's law be obtained for study was made before the commit tee, as that state is said to have the finest rules in the states.

DEER HUNTERS 70 GO HIGH IN LAST
 TRY OF SEASON

Deer season ends Monday, and hunters are taking off this week end on their final tries for bucks.
 Although many hoped that early snowfalls at the high levels would drive the deer to the beaches where hunters could shoot them with 'barnacles on their hoofs," what snow there was has melted or been rained off, and the deer have remained as high as they were en the opening day
 Hunting has shown that the past two severe winters have taken their toll of the game. Hard and long hikes have been necessary to bag the deer that have heen taken, ac- cording to reports from hunters.
 Fish and Wildlife Service officials on flights over the southeast AL aska highlands have noticed the sparse number of the bucks.
 But some deer have been taken. More than dozen sets of antlers have been enterd in the Quilico Sports Center's Deer Derby. Latest entry was a fine two. point set of antlers entered by Joe Whiting, Alaska Coastal Airlines employee, who got the deer on Sheep Moun- tain.
 Neal Moore has reported that he and two other hunters managed to bag a total of two deer in a week of hunting on Admiralty Is- land.

REYNOLDS GIVEN
 DELAY IN FLIGHT
 AROUND WORLD

HONOLULU, NoW 5.-tR-Mil-
 lionaire Milton Reynolds has been [ forced back to Guam on his at- tempt to set a new around-the- : world flight record by commercial
 airlines, Pan American World Ar
 ways reported today.
 Pan American said the big Boeing Stratocruiser he was riding was two hours out of Guam when it l was forced to turn back by engine trouble. The plane will require a cylinder replacement which will have to be flown to Guam, the company said. an
 The flight probably will be de- layed nearly 24 hours.
 There is a possibility, Pan Am erican said, that Reynolds may switch planes if Philippine Air
 Lines or Transocean has a flight leaving Guam earlier.
 Pan American said the plane
 which carried Reynolds arrived
 back at Guam about pm. today

 Reynolds was not expected to
 reach Honolulu before am. Sum day (8 am. EST) if he continues by Pan American He had been due today at 545 am. U0:45 am. EST)

COUNCIL MOVES
 TAX DEADLINE
 TO N0vEMbER 30

Deadline for payment of city taxes was moved from November Is to November 30 by action of the City Council which met in regular session at the City Hall last night
 Two motions concerning the tax payment question were passed; one stated that no penalties would be added for delinquent taxes until November 30 the other that the two percent discount would be allowed on or before November 30.
 This action was taken because of the short time between delivery of tax statements, which reached property owners this week, and the original deadline of November IS, Councilmen said
 An audit of the city's books for the past six months was presented to the City Council by c. J. Ehren- dreich, Certified Public Accountant.
 Mayor Waino Hendrickson re- quested him to draw up a condensed report of the city's financial condi- tion in form which could be readily understood by laymen and which would be presented for pub lication. Ehrendreich said such a statement would be ready before the end of next week.
 When it is received, the simpli- fled statement will be published in The Empire.
 J. R. Hope. owner of Hope Apart ment Hotel on Gastineau Avenue, asked the council whether people residing in the slide-endangered area will he evacuated or allowed to return for good.
 Mayor Hendrickson said an in vestigation will be made over the weekend to determine if there is further danger of slides.
 "Once the rain stops and the ground tightens up it will be all right" he said. But, he pointed out, with rain still coming down and trees hanging over the ravine dug out by Sundays slide, there is still danger.
 J. L. McNamara, city engineer, said that some very large trees along the margin of the slide area are loose at the roots.
 Hope said that the apartments in half his building on the same side as the slide were vacant. He said he would rather have them vacant than endanger lives.
 Mayor Hendrickson advised him not to allow occupants to return to the vacant apartments until after city officials have determined the danger of further slides.
 The city's salary ordinance for the coming year was read for the second time.
 The Council voted to pay sl50 to Bob Druxman for preparation of the small boat harbor report which has been submitted to Army Engi- neers in Seattle.
 This equals the amount paid by the Chamber of Commerce.
 J. P. Christensen, who made the motion, said the city could well afford to help pay for the cost of preparing the boat harbor report, since the small hoat harbor for which it argues would benefit the city.
 The council voted to purchase an "impactor" for $715 and freight charges from Seattle. The impactor is a machine which is used in patching asphalt pavement.
 Two competing insurance com pany representative argued whether or not the acceptance of policy from one of them for city public liability insurance coverage was in keeping with the best business practices.
 The matter was referred to committee for further study.
 Mayor Hendrickson announced that water company representatives had assured him that the next major installation of water lines will be on Eighth Street.
