Skagway is Fine Place 10 Live,
 Says Mrs. \. {. lee

A pioneer woman whose youthful appearance and attitude toward life might prove her theory that hard work has kept her young, Mrs. H. c. Lee, of Skagway, mother of Mrs. Howard Dilg of Juneau, will return to her home at the end of the week.
 After 52 years in Skagway, Mrs. Lee still thinks her town the fin est place in the world in which to live.
 Mrs. Lee tells of cooking meals, baking dozens of loaves of bread and quantities of pies on a small Yukon stove; of boiling water on the same small stove in 10gallon can for laundry. And, after her husband died (she was Mrs. Hukill them, she cooked for 50 men in a construction camp between Skag- way and Carcross. That was many years ago when her children were young and she had them with her at the camp.
 IL was lot of hard work, but through the years it has kept her young. she says.
 She is proud of her six children and twelve grandchildren. Two of her children, Mrs. Mavis Soldin and Duncan Hukill, live in Skag- way; Belle, who is Mrs. Dilge, lives in Juneau; Cecil and Jim Hukill, in San Francisco and Edith, Mrs. Mark Lee lives in Montana.
 Back in the early days in Skag- way Mrs. Hukill lived next door to the John Troys, when both their children were babies, and Mrs. Hulk ill and Mrs. Troy were good friends.
 Though she has made several trips to the States and Canada, where she was born, Mrs. Lee is always glad to return to her home in Skagway where she has acquired property and where her friends live.
 In Juneau for medical attention, she has been living with the Dilges, enjoying her time with them and her Juneau grandchildren.

Truman Backs Boyle 100 Per Gent Against Charges

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10- R - President Truman said today he is backing Democratic National Chair man William M. Boyle 100 perecent and wants him to stay in his job.
 Boyle has been under fire on charges that he accepted fees to help a St. Louis printing firm get a big government loan. He has denied that.
 In two recent meetings with re- porters, MT. Truman has said he was looking into the allegations.
 Today, he said he is convinced, MT. Boyle had nothing to do with the approval of those loans"
 He said he supported MT. Boyle in the later's decision not to resign from the committee chairmanship.
 Among other matters, MT. Tru- man:
 l. Challenged Russia to lift bar riers preventing travel and com munication between the Soviet Union and other countries. This was in response to questions about Moscow's recent bid for peace pact,' move labeled by the State Department as purely propaganda.
 2. Named Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio as the man he would like to see get the Republican Presidential nomination.
 3. Said he did not think Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower is a candi- date for the Democratic nomination
 But MT. Truman wouldn't say who he has in mind as candidate on the Democratic ticket.
