LIONS TO pR0WL
 A.B. HALL JUNGLE
 F0RLIBRARY FUND

Although Juneau Lions have not divulged whether they will do their stalking in jungle costume and war paint, such as they wore to play basketball their first annual Prowl promises to be a colortul and hilarious event.
 Tomorrow and Saturday nights are reserved for fun and frollc in the rifle range and the upstairs of the AB. Hall The sight of great big Lions going after help less chickens and turkeys may seem ludicrous, but that is what they're going to do.
 The public turkey shoot and at tendant entertainment are being planned by large committee head ed by It. Col. J. D. Alexander.
 Said Colonel Alexander today, You don't have to be able to shoot even a pop-gun, but the priz- es will reward all kinds of skill.
 "Sharpshooters will find the chal- lenge worth while, and so will am- ateur marksmen. There will be a yefreshment stand with hot dogs and soft drinks available to give you strength"
 Famed for their light-heartedness and their unabashed nonsense, Ju- neau Lions have serious purpose in putting on the two-day event. All proceeds will go toward ful- filling the Lions pledge to the Juneau Memorial Library fund. Ii there is anything left over, 1t will be used for other civic projects for which the Lions have obligated themselves.
 Val Poor, Lions Club President, hopes that all Lions, Lionesses tigers, leopards, ocelots, cats-and even Rotarians-will join the fun, as well as people.
 There has been a rumor that Lions will not confine their activ- ities to the AB. Hall, but may prowl the town.
 On guard, Juneau. The dictionary says "prowl' means ito roam about stealthily, as in search of prey or plunder." 'stealthily" sounds toe modest for Lions, though.

TOURIST INDUSTRY HERE IN HANDS OF
 TRANSPORT LINES

Alaska's tourist industry is in the hands of transportation companies whose interest is mainly in filling every available berth or seat in their ships or aircraft, it was charged today.
 The charge was made at the noon meeting of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce in the Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel today by Norman Banfield, Juneau attorney, as he spoke from the floor on the lack of organized tours others than those sponsored by transportation com- panies.
 Banfield, who recently returned from a trip to the Hawaiian Islands, described the independent organized tours there as the kind which should be offered to people in the United States wishing to come to Alaska.
 In Hawaii a tourist can go to good travel agent. select his itine- rary, and tell the agent how long he wishes to stay at each stop. Reserva- tions are made for him, and all his tickets-for transportation to the airport, for the plane, for hotel &C., commodation and for tours-are sent to him in script-book form, Banfield said.
 He urged that travel agents in the United States be supplied with information which would make such tour arrangements possible.
 We need big capital in Alaska's tourist business" Banfield said. But until we get this we must take ad- vantage of the travel agents in the States and what facilities we now have"
 He said that real authentic in- formation" which is needed by travel agencies wishing to organize tours to aska-information on ac- commodations, scheduled side trips, and recreational opportunities - could be supplied to travel agents in the States through the magazine Travel Guide"-the travel agents handbook.
 Henry Green, Alaska Steamship agent and Chamber executive board member presiding at the meeting in the absence of Robert Boocheyer, Chamber president, said that all transportation companies supply travel agents with information on Alaska.
 O. F. Benecke, airlines official and member of the Chambers tour ist committee, pointed out that Alaska tours have been increasing in the past years, in some cases to the point where hotels can no longer keep pace with the demand for ac- commodations.
 There is no lack of progress" as far as the organization of interest ing tours is concerned, he declared.
 He said progress is being made toward setting up combination air-sea tour which would include Q two-day stopover at Juneau before progressing to points which the traveller wishes to visit.
 Benecke also pointed out that a special issue of Travel Agent" has been produced this year dealing ex- clusively with Alaska.

If those Government employees

then four Republican-controlle

DR.. Negherbon's three-year con-

that the department head did not

DR.. Negherbon contends the

Women Voters Urge
Appointment System
For Alexandra Posts

The Alexandria League o.
Women Voters today urged thai
the Offices of city attorney anc
city collector be filled by appoint
ment rather than by election. a.
at present.
A referendum will be held No.
vember 7 to decide the issue.
In urging voters to favor ap.
pointment of both Offices, Mrs
Warren Turner, league president
declared:
"The city attorneys relationship
with Council must be professional
and confidential. In nine out oi
ten cities of comparable size, the
city attorneys are appointed.
She recalled that the Alex
andria Charter Commission gave
the following reasons for recon-
mending appointment of a city
collector:
Cd The collection of taxes and
revenues is an integral and central
function of the Department OF
Finance; (2) The collector OF
revenues must be under control
and direction of the director OF
finance and city manager; 90
The collectors duties are purely
administrative and. az Centrali-
Zation of finance administration
facilities would make complete
fiscal reports readily accessible.
If the appointment proposals
are approved in the referendum
the city council in 1852 would ap-
point the city attorney. and the
city manager would appoint the
collector.
