ARC Reports Much Road Work Done
 During Past Year

During the 1851 construction sea- son the Alaska Road Commission reports it continued it's program of highway construction and improve ment throughout the Territory with efforts concentrated on the recon strucsion and hard-surfacing of the main routes, replacement of mar row bridges on these routes, and an extending the farm and indus rial road system.
 Here is . report by tho ARC of 1851 activities:
 By the end of the season hard surfacing of the Glenn Highway between Anchorage and the Rich ardson Highway was complete ex- cept for a 16-mile section in the vicinity of Sheep Mountain. The remaining portion of the Glenn Highway between Big Timber and Tok Junction, formerly known as the Tok Cutoff, was under extensive re- construction during the entire season and resulted in almost complete el- animation of narrow and crooked road. Included in this work was a relocation around the east side of Mentasta Lake that shortens the road by approximately nine miles.
 On the Richardson Highway be- tween Valdez and Big Delta four contracts for grading were in pro- gress, three of which included hard surfacing. Grading between Valdez and Thompson Pass was substan- tially completed. This work includ- ed the widening and paving of the tunnel in Keystone Canyon and the elimination of many steep grades and sharp curves.
 The section from Big Timber to Paxson is under contract for grading only. During the past season approx imately IS miles of road south of Paxson was completed and prepara- tions made to rebuild the remainder during the coming season.

the ski tow, will be moved to the upper bowl for the 1952-53 sea- son.
 Corporation Operation
 The snowtractor is to be opera ted by Juneau Ski Train, Inc, a small corporation formed for ef- ficient, non- profit management of the venture. Directors of the cor poration include Dean Williams, Tom Stewart, Peter Warner. John Ourney, and Curtis Shattuck. The function of the corporation is to provide for safe and reliable op- eratibn of the machine and for it's proper care and maintenance. It will be fully covered by damage and public liability insurance.
 Further plans for improvement of the community's winter recfea- tion facilities are in progress. A Juneau winter carnival to be sponsored by several local service groups is under consideration. and a more complete announcement of this will be made soon. Funds raised by such a project will be used to repay obligations on the Sno-Cat, and revenues from it's operation may then be used for other improvements. such as new cabin and ski tow facilities.

Sno-Cai Ordered; Due Here January

Snow tractor transportation for local winter sports fans to the Douglas Island ski area became certain today, it was announced by Tom Stewart, president of the Juneau Ski Club, with the plal>, ment Of prepaid order for Tucker Sno-Cat, ready at the factory in Medford. Oregon, for immediate shipment to Juneau.
 The project to obtain a Sno-Cat was assured of success by the ac- ton of the Juneau Elks Lodge lesi Wednesday night in voting a s10OO donation toward the pur- chase of the machine. This action followed the granting of long, term. interest free loan of $2500 by the Territorial Sportsmen, Inc, to aid the project. and the invest ment of several thousands of dol lars hy local business organizations and private individuals to further this plan to better the winter sports facilities of the Juneau Douglas community
 Forest Service Aids
 Sponsored at the outset by the Juneau Ski Club. the project has been made possible also by the aiG of the U. s. Forest Service in pic viding for improvement of the trail leading to the Ski area and by the efforts of members of the Ski Club and others who have contributed volunteer labor on the trail and worked at promoting the project.
 Delivery of the Sno-Cat is ex- pected early in January, Stewart said. and it will be put into opera tion immediately on its arrival. During this season it will be oper- ated from the top of the Jump Hill. near the beginning of the Douglas Ski Trail, to the Slalom Hill, approximately one-and-a- quarter miles up the trail. "A shed for storage of the machine near the top of the Jump Hill is being prepared. and the tractor is to be kept there during the winter sea- son. A small charge will be made for rides to the ski area, revenues being used to pay off other than donated funds invested and also to provide for eventual replace ment. A schedule for operation of the machine will be announced shortly after it's arrival.
 Opens New Area
 It is expected that this new transportation facility will open for wide use by the public the su- perb snow basin which lies at the end of the Ski Trail. three miles from the Douglas Highway. The U. s. Forest Service plans for the improvement of the trail to this site in the next summer season in order to permit successful oper- ation of the snow tractor to this upper howl If the operation of the tractor is as successful as ex- pected, all ski facilities, such as

Communication

To the Editor, Daily Alaska Elm pire: Those of us who had a pleas ant afternoon at the concert pre- sented by the Juneau Singers last Sunday feel that not enough credit has been given to those who spent a great deal of time and effort in making the event possible. Those who participated in the production were unanimous in praising the skill and ability of Miss Marjorie Iverson, the director. She worked US pretty hard" said one member, i ''but she was efficient, and we all enjoyed it." The accompaniment of Jane McMullin contributed greatly, too. Juneau is most fortunate in having sach talented musicians contribute their services to our community life.
 The concert opened with groups of singers entering the stage from different parts of the building, car- oling as they walked with lighted flashlights down the darkened aisles. The first half of the program presented our old Christmas carols in interesting fashion, and joined with the stringed quartette in the more sacred aspect of Christmas music. The presentation of "Ihe Song of Christmas" has been con- sidered by many to be equal to, and in some places superior to the Fred Waring recording. Leonard Carr was effective as narrator of the verses from the Holy Scriptures.
 The second half of the program was of e more popular nature. The singers frolicked through sprightly holiday music with an ease that indicated much careful tlaining. Their attractive winter costumes added to the general effectiveness. Bill and Elna Burlington were all most professional in their execu- ten of the Skaters Waltz" Ruth Nelson, Ernest Ehler, Frances Paul, Lois Reedy and Robt Rings had solo parts which were very well received.
 Tn any production of this size, with probably the largest attend ancc that any event in Juneau will have this winter, there was lot Of hard work done in making the arrangements. Margaret Midland made the costumes for the Snow man and Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer. Max Lewis made the San ta Claus sleigh in the high school shop. Merton Haynes was in charge of the lighting, Helen Webster as- sisted in the decorations and pro- duction. Katherine Alexander had charge of the publicity. Eunice Nevin (could you have guessed it?) became the animated Frosty, the Snowman" and Will Reedy and Bill Harrington were the two parts of the reindeer. (Will was in charge Of the posterior operations). Jim Carr was the Santa Claus.
 The afternoon was such happy contribution to the beginning of the Christmas season that many of us wish we might have more opportunities for saying Thank you' individually to the members of the cast, and their director, Miss Iverson.
