Saturday nights.
March Goth of this year marked
the Goth annual fisherman's fes-
tival in Ballard On this day the
pastor of the Ballard First Luther
an Church blessed the fishermen,
and prayers were said for their
safety by the congregation.
Other important features of con-
census are the national lodges and
local social organizations which
are located in Ballard. The Eagles
are represented by two locals;
there is an IO.O.F Hall, a local
Elk Lodge, an American Legion
Post, plus their various women
and youth auxiliaries. There are
also such groups as the Swedish
Club, the Daughters of Norway,
and other similar clubs which serve
as recreation for the residents of
Scandinavian descent. There are,
of course, the PIT. AS, the Sub
Deb Clubs, the Boy and Girl
Scouts, the Y. w. and Y.MC.A.
Clubs, and an Associated Boys
Club which can be found in most
residential areas.
The Ballard business district
stretches chiefly along Market
Street and extends for a short
distance on Ballard Avenue and
other Streets leading off Market.
The business district was original
~ located about 22nd Avenue and
Ballard Avenue, but has slowly
moved north and outward on Mar
ket Street, as shown on the large
map of Ballard. Since the war
another shift has occurred and
more businesses are settling in the
streets leading off Market. Many
new businesses have also come,
but not all manage to succeed. In
a new building recently erected at
18th Avenue and Market Street,
rather far from the main pedes-
TRAN traffic, three businesses
started. Only one of these origi-
nal three, a beauty parlor, has
succeeded. The furniture store
which occupied the best position
gave way to fur store. The other
business sold office supplies. sta

Nations Want
Customs Union

STOCKHOLM. - The P ri m
Ministers and Ministers of Finance
and Trade of Denmark, Norway
and Sweden held meeting in Oslo
recently. The most important
question on the agenda was the
current study of a Scandinavian
customs union, and the assembled
cabinet members decided to speed
up this work as much as possible.
Norways Prime Minister, Einar
Gerhardsen, who acted as chair
man, stressed the Importance of
giving representatives of the three
Scandinavian countries an oppor-
tunity to meet at this time and
discuss the problems resulting
from the currency devaluation.
which are largely similar for the
three nations. The discussion
showed that the three govern
ments are firmly determined to
pursue policy aiming at eco
nomic stability:

High School seems to have SUBJ
stantially increased their volume
of sales. 1t was succeeded in it's
original quarters by an accounting
firm. While the entire failure of
these businesses cannot be at
tributed to their original location,
since other factors such as COM
peting businesses, rate of turnover
and type of service offered enters
into the consideration, position
nevertheless was a vital factor.
Other stores having a state wide
or national backing seem to have
succeeded further from the main
business streets. Such an example
is the Dutch Boy Paint store which
is succeeding where an indepen-
dent restaurant failed. This diff
ference is probably explained by
the fact such stores have the cap
ital or backing to remain until the
people in the district become suf-
ficiently acquainted with their
products and locations to increase
their sales. The new post office
was recently completed near this
corner, which will undoubtedly
bring more trade to stores on the
nearby streets.

Judge Gently

Pray don't find fault with the man that limps,
Or stumbles along the road
Unless you have the shoes he wears
Or struggled beneath his load.
There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt
Tho hidden away from view,
Or the burden he bears placed your back
Might cause you to stumble too
Don't sheer at the man who's down today
Unless you have felt the blow
That caused his fall or felt the shame
That only the fallen know
You may be strong; but still the blows
That were his, if dealt to you
In the selfsame way at the selfsame time,
Might you to stagger too.
Don't be too harsh with the man that SINS
Or pelt him with word or stone,
Unless you sure yea douby sure
That you have no sins of your own;
For you know perhaps if the tempters voice
Should whisper as soft to you
AS it did to him when he went astray,
1t might cause you to falter too.

The majority of the people in
Ballard are employed as skilled or
semi-skilled workers. A large
proportion of the women in this

The Ballard district is divided
into five census tracts as shown on
the census map. Tract Al was
the original settlement and with
the spread of residents to the
north it has somewhat deteriorat-
ed. According to the 1910 census
fifteen per cent and over of the
dwelling units in this area needed
major repairs. For a couple of
blocks, the once main street, Bal
lard Avenue, is lined with taverns
and rooming houses for the tran
silent males. There are also a few
asses of striking deterioration
along the railroad tracks which
follow the Salmon Bav Waterway.
To the north, one finds the
newer owner-occupied homes. In
census tract Az, Twenty-Five pera
cent of the homes and over were
built between 1880 and 1910. The
per cents were proportionately less
for the other tracts. Fifteen to
twenty-four per cen tin tract Al
were built between 1880 and 1910,
ten to fourteen per cent in tract
A-3, five to nine per cent in tract
A, and only two to four per
cent in tract AS. Seventy-five per
cent and over of the homes in tract
Al and Az were owner-occupied.
while those in tracts A-3 and "A
were sixty to seventy-four per cent
owner-occupied. Only twenty-five
per cent to forty-nine percent of
the dwelling units in tract AS
were owner-occupied.
Some rather large homes with
spacious lawns and brick walls"
are found in the Sunset Hill dis
trict, and extends on past the city
limits. The average property
value for Ballard as a whole is
S2.92S compared to the city aver
age of S3,754.
Ballard also has numerous
churches; perhaps, the largest pro-
portion in the city for the size of
the area. There are about twenty
churches representing most Prot
estant faiths and the Catholic
faith. These do not include the
sects which gather on B a d

able to work through the Bears zone defense.
 The score switched back and forth on a one or two point lead for both teams. The quarter ended with B. Graves failing to make his free throw which would have put Juneau ahead by two points.
 It was not until almost three min- utes of play had elapsed before the Bears broke a tie of 39 all with B. Graves hook shot
 From then on the Bears kept in the lead with the Vikings getting within three points of them twice. The main threat in the last quarter was when the Vikings made the greater percent of their long shots.
 Juneau was taking to circling a Viking player when he got the call. On the jump out of these tieups, the Bears were getting the ball. This probably saved the game for them
 High point man for Juneau was Adams with IS points and Wikan of the Vikings. made IT.

LAST NIGHTS WIN
 SENDS JUNEAU TO
 ALL-kLASKA PLAY

In a closely Orgar..1cG game that ended in a snake dance and victory sending the Juneau High Crimson Bears to play Anchorage for the All-Alaska championship, the Bears defeated the Petersburg High Vii kings 49 to 46 last night to win the Southeast Alaska Championship.
 Nickel was back in last nights game. and gave the Bears the spark to win the game, fer the Vikings were pretty much at home on the floor that had been strange to them the night before.
 The opening tipoff was taken by the Bears Aut the Vikings tight man. to-man defense kept them out from the basket. Wikan's dribble almost the length of the floor and lay in basket was the first score of the game. Hanson came with a set shot from the end of the slot and the score was tied.
 Hirschey's free throws put the Vikings ahead by two points. Sted- man worked one in and the score was six for the Vikings and two for the Bears.
 Juneau got the ball and called time out to talk things over.
 A series of tries under the bas- ket for Juneau gave them the chance to find the range and the team was beginning to pick up the points.
 The Vikings were shooting long shots to get the ball in for rebound tries. Fugvolg dropped one in from under the basket. The score stood at Bears eight and Vikings nine with that shot.
 The Vikings put in two more baskets and a free throw before Juneau made another score by a free throw. The quarter ended with Petersburg ahead by the total of 13 to II.
 Juneau was beginning to act more like the team they should have been the night before, but were still miss ing Schultz.
 The second quarter found Juneau trying oftener and making more shots. The Bears zone defense was working against the Vikings and It appeared that the visitors were not used to it. The Petersburg team was not able to break fast under the basket.
 SECOND QUARTER
 Petersburg started the scoring for the second quarter when Kito drop ped in the first of his long shots that barely touched the rim. Adams tried jump shot that failed.
 Petersburg was still shooting the long ones but now were failing to get the rebounds because of the Bears height.
 Adams came in for a shot in the slot and made it tying the score at 15 all. Wikan's lcng shot pulled the Vikings ahead and it was not until near the end of the quarter that the Bears threatened The quarter ended with the Vikings leading by four points.
 The Viking team was fast on the tipoff for the third quarter when they stole the ball from the Bears hut Stedman's immediate try fell short of it's mark
 Hanson retrieved missed pass by Petersburg and hooked the ball into the basket to give the Vikings only one point lead B. Graves one-hand- ed push shot put the Bears in the lead by one point.

Incidence Last Year;
Death Toll Up.
By Associated Press

Infantile paralysis in the nation
continued this week to run far
ahead of 194S, a near record year.
Critical local situations led to a
variety of emergency measures to
control threatened epidemics.
Data on deaths to date was
sketchy, but an Associated Press
survey showed that where figures
are available the mortality rate
this year is apparently double that
of 1948.
With the heavy polio months of
August and September yet to come,
the survey showed approximately
5000 cases in the nation through
July 81 this year. Incomplete data
in some states indicated this figure
is probably considerably under the
actual number.
Last years reported cases for the
first seven months were under s.
900. The complete total for 194S
was 27,6S0-the second highest
year Of record in the United States
