1000 Join in Testimonial Dinner to Mason Welcome Donohue

-eAASN
u, Guy Mason, recently retired
-D4strict Commissioner, was hon
pted and his successor, F. Joseph
III sfapnphue. was welcomed last night
at dinner given by citizens OF the
|. District at the Hotel Statler.
The former Commissioner, Wis,
tply moved, was presented with a
.te8stimonial scroll. and a silver
sef0ice by Robert v. Fleming,
4pResident of the Riggs National
, Bank, for outstanding services
10 the city of Washington since
! 1904 as soldier, journalist, law
yer, citizen" and as a District
Commissioner from 1941 until last
month.
More than 1000 of Mr.. Mason's
friends crowded the Statler's
presidential ballroom for the testi-
monial.
District Court Judge Richmond
B. Keech congratulated Mr.. Mason
on his career as a Commissioner,
saying that the. fields "in which
he received the most lambasting
!: health and welfare-are those
y in which he accomplished the
!: most"
"Gallinger Hospital" Judge
Keech declared, "his greatest mon
ument, while not bettered as
promptly as many would have
liked nor as quickly as Commis-
sioner Mason would have desired,
has developed from an institution
constantly subjected to all sorts
of attacks to an outstanding pub
lie hospital
The characteristic which got
Commissioner Mason into the
most ''hot water" the judge said,
''was his direct and unequiyocal
manner of dealing with things
and people, but this same quality
was responsible to a great extent
for his accomplishments
The gathering gave Mr.. Mason
a warm ovation and punctuated
Judge Keech's laudatory remarks
with further applause. 1t was
typical of the expressions of
affection which have marked the.
career of the retired city head.
Even those who disagreed with
Mr.. Mason at times frequently
removed the sting from their
criticism when they added that,
as Judge Keech observed. he may
have made errors of Judgment
"but never of the heart"
The 70-year-old former Com
missioner, whose final months in
Office were troubled by illness,
added no fiowery oratory to the
evenings speechmaking.
He confined himself to a simple
''Thank you"
Pledging to give his best efforts
to the public, Commissioner Dono-
hue said he is "but member of
a team with four sources of help"
The Commissioner said he knew
he would always be able to find
help from the President, the Con-
gress, District employees and the
public.
S"I shall say to my successor as
I say to Guy Mason" Commits
sioner Donohue said, THE prize of
this Office is the richer because
Guy Mason occupied it before me" !"
The testimonial scroll presented
to Mr.. Mason read in part: His
high qualities of character and
spirit, a marked gift of leadership,

LIONS HEAR, SEE

Col. Joe Alexander, Director Of Civilian Defense for the Territory of Alaska, spoke to Douglas Lions last evening at their regular meet ing held in Mikes Place. Col. Alex ander came to the meeting as a visitor along with several other lead ing Juneau Lions members, but was asked by President Edwin Johnson to bring the club up to date on Civilian Defense.
 Col. Alexander stated that the recent maneuver, "Firestep," was to test the Army and Civilian Defense in critical areas. That the first blackout of Juneau-Douglas was not good due to several conflicting causes, but he stated that the last one held on April IA, was excellent. However, he said there was much more to Civilian Defense than black outs and alerts. He named and ex- plained the following seven points:
 Mutual aid and local support; fire services and auxiliary firemen; com- munications and their functions; law enforcement and police duties; health and medical services, includ- ing first aid stations and hospital services, and evacuation and dis persion. He asked that all commun- ities be ready and able to withstand attack by the enemy by next Octo- Der. He said October was not date when an expected attack was forth coming, but rather was date set by higher officials as goal for the Civilian Defense committees to work towards. Another visiting colonel, Col John Moves of the Alaska Road Commission, stated that he hadn't visited Douglas very often since his first visits here in the old ferryboat days, but that after attending the Lions meeting here with Mikes famous menu of chicken, he would see more of Douglas in the future.
 President Johnson announced several committees and appointed Val Poor, beach committee and pie

YOUR LIFE ASSURANCE

Calvin Coolidge, former Pres ident of the United States and then a member of the Board of Directors of the New, York Life Insurance Company up tp the time of his death, once said:. T urge every father and mother as they are interested in the future of their children to see that they are taught the pur- pose and value of life insurance. Parents should help their child ren to take out policies at as early an age as possible. Taking out such policies and then turn ing them over to the children as soon as they are self-supporting starts them out in life with a real value and assists them in acquiring early sense of re- 
 sponsibility and habit of saving which will help them throughout their lives"

| BOSTON, May 7.-Southpaw
Cliff Chambers of the Pirates siz-
zled a 80 no-hitter against the
Braves yesterday and says he
wants to split the credit nine ways
with the team.
Fresh from a bout with the flu,
the blond left handler pitched the
newest no-hit of the majors in
the second game of a double
header. But between slaps on the
back he had this to say:
"Co-operation never means as
much as in a no-hitter. There're
nine of us out there. A pitcher
isn't the team"
Is he happy about the no-hit-
ter? Sure" he grinned, but
don't forget I was pretty lucky"
What about the flu? "I had it
all right" Chambers said. Hadn't
thrown a ball since Tuesday. But
I felt okay after breakfast and
figured I might as well give it a
try"
Cliffs try" was baseball'S 131St
no-hitter since 1875.
Stop on Olms Big Help.
The husky, 29-year-old south
paw. who stands 6 feet l and
weighs about 210 didn't pretend
he didn't know he was building
up to the magic one. Sure. I
knew in the fifth inning I hadn't
given any hits. That big score
board hits you right in the eye
But the no hits didn't impress me
because I'd had men on base.
But in the ninth l knew and
really tried for it.
Those two long pokes by (Bool
Elliott and (Walker) Cooper had
me worried at the time, but nov
that I look back I can see where
that high hopper by Guis) Olmo
was a sure hit if I hadn't got il
myself" He referred to a bouncer
hit by the Puerto Rlcan outtlelder
in the fifth which he grabbed 10
throw Olmo out at first.
In the sixth. there were men
on first and third with two out
when Elliott, Boston third sacke"
laid the good wood to a fast bal
and belted it on a line to right
center. The wind dropped it in
time for Gus Bell, hard-running
rightfelder, to haul it down.
MetkOvich Eased Strain.
Cooper, husky, hard hitting
Boston catcher, got hold of a
Chambers pitch in the ninth and
Iclouted it high and far to center
field. George Metkovich pulled il
that one for the second out Of
the inning.
