MARKS RETURNS AFTER
 FISKING IN FLORIDA

Bob Marks, who has fished for 23 years in Southeast Alaska, decided last fall to go to Florida and fish. He returned to Juneau a few days ago.
 T would've walked back" he said.
 Marks sold his trolling boat, the Omney, before leaving. He went to Marathon on the Florida Keys with high hopes and rheumatism. He came back to Juneau with shattered dreams and no rheumatism.
 Fishing was pretty good when I got there" he recalled. Went out after mackerel. At first they gave IA cents a pound for them. Then the price dropped to six cents. The fishermen aren't organized down there, and when the fish prices dropped I couldn't make a living"
 So now Marks is back and is going to buy a boat and go fishing in Alaska for his 29th season.
 He's glad he went to Florida, though. The warm weather cured his rheumatism, he said.

COAST GUARD NINE TJM005E CLUB
 IN PRACTICE TILT

The Coast Guard baseball team took it's second victory in a five inning practice game against the Moose Lodges nine last night.
 Final score was 15 to II. A greatly improved Moose com- bination tagged two of Al Dorr1s pitches for home runs during the contest. A low percentage Of errors by the Coast Guard ball club showed clearly that the Moose runs were welI-deserved.
 Terry Magorty chucked the prac- tice tilt for the Moose club, and the sea-going baseball players were all of the opinion that his early-season chucking indicated that he would be a pitcher to watch when league play begins.
 In the last half of the last inning the Moose club filled the bases, and John Erbland, the Coasters man. ager, pulled Don Wilber out of the bullpen and sent him in to relieve Doris.
 Wilber, who has proved his hurl- ing ability by winning one game and holding another at a tie this season, walked one man, forcing one run over, and then fannec three men in succession to end the ball game.
 For the believe-it-or-not depart ment: Donnie Kane, Coast Guard ft-fielder, took mighty swing al one of Magorty's twisters, connec- ted, drove the ball lucky seven feet, and showed good footwork in making safe run to first base.
 Next practice tilt is set for 2 pm Sunday, when the Elks Club will meet the Coast Guard nine in an ef- fort to show which is the best team The Elks' ballplayers held the Coast Guard to a 3 to 3 tie in a practice game Tuesday. They were l949 league champions.

JUNEAU CHAMBER DISCUSSES MANY
 SUBJECTS TO-DAY
Miller Unable fo Aiiend- KadOw. Whitehead An-
 derson, MeftaIfe Talk

Because Maynard Miller. ached uled to speak at the regular lunch. con meeting of the Juneau Cham. Der of Commerce, was icecap- bound the meeting was thrown open tC general discussion today.
 Kenneth Kadow kicked off by re- ouesting the support of the Cham Der for the annexation of West Juneau to the city of Juneau. He outlined the advantage to the City in a low-incone group housing pro- .ject of 50 to 75 units available to Juneau if the area is annexed as against an estimated S6090 or $7000 to be invested in a water system there.
 pr. William Whitehead suggested that the Chamber could encourage the location of new small businesses here such as a salmon slnokery, her ring plant, assist the Douglas can nery to operate next year, see what could be done in the processing of lumber here for such items as tooth- picks and pencils.
 c. L. Anderson, Director of the Alaska Department of Fisheries, of- fered his assistance and that of his department for any contemplated projects along fishery lines. He pointed out that the Anchor Fish Company's shrimp experimental studies during the past year had been successful and that an added payroll of 20 to 30 persons would help Juneau. Plans are underway, he said, for shrimp operations here as long as the weather permits.
 Vernon Metcalfe brought up the difficulty that men in the Organized Reserves and National Guard had in obtaining loans to launch small businesses or buy houses, and sug- gested that the Chamber might look into recommendations for necessary legislation to correct it.
 Metcalfe, of the Metcalfe Sheet Metal Works and a Democratic can didate for the Territorial Legisla- ture. was introduced as a new mem Der.
 Visitors were the Rev. Walter Soboleff, pastor of the Memorial Presbyterian Church; w. A. Wood, Bureau of Public Roads, Juneau; and L. Demerlong, of the Joy Man ufacturing Co.,, Gait, Ontario.
