Enthusiasm for Fielding Lecture May Save Dinner Club

The sample" afforded the Ju- neau Dinner Club at it's initial meeting Friday night in the Bar anof Gold Room was so good that those present all expressed hope for more
 By sample" is meant the lec- ture by Capt. Michael Fielding. And no lecturer could have had a more enthusiastic audience.
 But the audience was not large enough to justify the continuation of the dinner-lecture club, accord ing to Elmer Schlotz, organizer, and the first meeting might prob ably be the last.
 Schlotz disbanded the origin al organization last night, told those present they were dinner guests of the Associated Net work Clubs and refunded money to those who had made member ship payments.
 If we can secure more members, will it be possible to reorganize in time for thet next lecturer" one member asked Schlotz.
 And there is that possibility, the organizer assured the group pres ent-if more members, enough to pay expenses-can he secured, they might still hear the next lecturer who will be in Alaska for the Fair banks and Anchorage meetings Otherwise an attempt will be made to organize next year. Schlotz said
 All present were enthusiastical- ly in favor of interesting more friends in the club in time to hear the lecture series arranged fo! this year.
 Capt. Fielding believes 1t pos sible to avoid the cataclysm oi World War III by a presentation of military strength on the pari of the Western World and by of- fering better idea to the margin al countries than the Communism of Russia.
 We must defeat the basic SoV- jet design of military conquest, the lecturer said, then suggested that the best way to accomplish this end is to go back into history
