own band, and even before that,
when he was playing football for

harder to take when he was q

Il was announced that a motion
picture would be shown for enter

nothing better to do, Marion decid-
ed to have a look.
About the first thing ON the
screen was the Tiny Boy Il appar-
emily hauling a load of cannery
workers somewhere. On the deck
he saw Freddie Angerman. Another
scene showing logging operations
and Eugene Wells was in the pic
ture. To top it all, another scene
showed the ARB 10, and Marion
saw himself on deck waving to
himself in the Honolulu audience.

mother here. If you don't think I

Marion worked on the ARB 10
during the summer of 1850. He ad-
ded that he remembesed someone
taking a movie of the boat - but
he little dreamed he'd have to join
the Navy and go to Honolulu to see

party but did not appear on the
program
Metcalf discussing the iChlkoot
ferry operation, said chat the only
way he and the road board could
operate the ferry was to put the
money derived from the operation
in a special fund so it could be
used in carrying on the system be
tween Juneau and Haines. He said
that if the receipts were put back
in the general fund, as the Attor-
ney General held to be the law. it
would be impossible to operate as
il would be necessary to wait for
the next Legislature to make an
appropriation before anything
could be paid Under the procedure
now being used. he said, the ferry
could be made to pay its way.
Candidate Coughlin, who is also
Purser on the ferry, said he CON
sidered the ferry a sound business
operation and that ton for ton it
compared favorably with any sim
liar maritime operation.
Delegate Bartlett took credit for
bringing large defense spending to

of more bills which had been en-
acted into law than any other
member of Congress. He said a
round a billion, three hundred mill
lion in federal taxpayers funds had
been spent in Alaska in the last
eight years, and indicated he was
largely responsible for bringing i'll

lowing the election. Irving Mex
Reed of Fairbanks, an engineer in
the Fourth Division, long associat-
ed with mining property develop
ment in the Interior may defeat
incumbent Frank Metcalf despite a
minimum of campaigning in his
own behalf. What with using the
Highway Patrol for campaign pur-
poses, the Chilkoot ferry mess and
winding up in a personal libel suit,
the odds are against Frank, widely
known as he is throughout the Teri
ritory.
For the two Senate seats, we
pick Doris NJ. Barnes of Wrangell
and Mark Jensen of Douglas Mrs.
Barnes, who has served ably in the
House, led the field in the primary
and probably will do the same
thing in Tuesdays election. An es-
pecially qualified, capable lawfhak-
er, Mrs. Barnes should win in q
walk. For the Other seat it prob
ably will be a close contest be-
tween Jensen and Frank PeratrO-
yich of Klawoek On basis of his
energetic, fighting qualities, such
as exposure OF the Palmer airport
deal when he previously served in
the House. Jensen is tabled to win,
but probably not by a very large
margin If Mrs. Mildred Hermann,
hte other Senate candidate, carries
her home precinct, No. l in Jun
eau, she'll do we'll.
In the House race, with six to
be elected, it looks like a race be-
tween Ed Locken of Petersburg
and Waino Hendrickson of Juneau
to lead the ticket, both asst ed OF
election, according to our crystal
ball. And if the voters look them
over, as they always do, it looks
like the other House members will
be Fred Eastaugh of Juneau, Will
liam Boardman of Ketchikan, NJ
l.. MacSpadden of Juneau and
Frank Johnson of Kake. All were
given large votes in the primary
There Is no reason to believe the
voters have changed their minds
It's one of the best House states

the winners, and now we take GOV.

J0RGEN RONNINGs,
MRS. CARL BRADLEY.
RETURN FROM NORWAY

Mr.. ana Mrs. JOTgeu ROnning
and their daughter, Mrs. Carl
Bradley, have returned home after
a trip to Norway visiting places
where Mr.. and Mrs. Ronning were
born. 1t was the first trip back to
Norway in 81 years for Mr.. Ron
ming and the first trip back for
Mrs. Ronning since 1880. 1t was
Mrs. Bradley first trip abroad.
They left here the first of July
and spent a short time in Seattle
visiting friends and relatives and
then went to New York by train,
where they sailed July - on the
SIS Oslofiord. The ship stopped at
Bergen, Stavanger, Kristiansand.
and then called in at Copenhagen,
Denmark, where the travellers en-
joyed a day of sightseeing by bus
They report Copenhagen a very
pretty town and their unscheduled
visit there much enjoyed From
Copenhagen they went to Oslo
where they disembarked and took
a train to Andalsnes where Mr.
Ronning was born. Mr. Ronning's
closest living relative there was an
S6-year-old uncle. But the house
on the old family farm. in which
Mr. Ronning first saw the light of
day was still standing and except
for a few repairs, was as he re-
membered it when he left 81 years
before for America.
After being there three days,
they Went ON to Kristiansund'n -
Mrs. Rouning's home town. They
spent most of the balance of their
time there, taking motor trips to
various places farther north to visit
relatives and old friends Kristian-
sund'n, Mrs. Bradley said, was
completely destroyed during World
War II and has been entirely re-
built so Mrs. Ronning saw many
changes there. Andalsnes was not
so badly hit by the war. Mrs. BEad-
ley said the weather was cold all
the time they were in Norway. On
clear days a strong, chilly wind
would blow and their relatives said

weather.
They returned across the Allan
tic on a freighter, sailing from
Aalasund on Sept. u. The ship had
only u passengers and carried, of
all things, a load of fish. After two
days in New York they took a
train west, spending a day in Chi,
cage in the station there which
Mrs. Bradley described as "a little
city in itself.
Before coming on to Wrangell,
they again visited in Seattle and
Bellingham and Mrs. Bradley flew
home a week ago yesterday while
the Ronnings arrived on the Bar
anOf Monday morning.
Before leaving Norway for home,
relatives in Kristiansund' gave
a farewell party for them which
was attended by 60 persons. After
a banquet, music and dancing fol-
lowed. Mrs. Bradley said the Ber
gen daily paper carried story with
pictures on their arrival featuring
Mr.. Ronning on his first visit home
in 81 years.
