Five Teams Entered In
Volleyball League To
Start Next Monday

Sports fans will be happy to
learn that next Monday evening,
April %, will see the start of the
Base-City Volleyball League. The
game is a favorite in the Eastern
States and Canada and is an
extremely interesting spectator
sport. Five team managers sign
ed the BIC log last Monday: the
Nome NanookS, the Polar Hornets,
Air Force Jets, the ACS Sham
rocks, and a newly organized city
team, the Nome Aces Ten games
are scheduled. The first is slated
for Monday evening at 7:30 and
brings together the Shamrocks
and Hornets in the opening game.
The Nanooks meet the Jets in
the second game and the Nome
Aces will wind up the evening
against the Shamrocks. Since
volleyball is a fairly short game
three or four are scheduled for
each evening of play.
Softball resumes Friday eve
nlng when the Hornets clash with
the highly improved Jets and the
league-leading Shamrocks play
the Nanooks in the nightcap.
The first meet of the Base-City
Rifle Team League was held last
Monday at the ANG armory. Maj.
Frank SiegWart's Headquarters
team oUtpointed the ACS Sham
rocks 1913 to 673, High for the
winners were Siegwart and Bobby
Herman with 1877 each. High for
the ACS was Jim Mahlen with
1856 and Don Grosgebauer was
second with ia. Some excellent
shooting was displayed by both
teams and the future of the Be
Rifle League looks promising.

BEN AND Mrs. GILLETTE
RETURN FROM HAWAII TRIP

. Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Gillette re-
turned home yesterday after a
month in Hawaii, which they say
is the cleanest place they have
ever seen. They particularly noted
the courteousness of the people,
even the children, to visitors to
their island, and the fact that
there isn't a signboard to be seen
anywhere on the island.
They recommend Honolulu for
a luxurious rest where a person
can enjoy during nothing at all.
Nevertheless they said they were
still glad to be back in Alaska.

There is only a peep hole in

Both resolutions were adopted
and they will be reconcned and

organizations.
The action was touched off by
the purchase by the Chesapeake

Loudoun County, Va.
For Industrial Purposes
It was understood the C&O
which recently ught the
Washington g. Old Dominion
Railroad. intends that this acre
age be used for industrial pur-
poses.
Herbert w. Wells, chairman
OF the Regional Planning Coun-

Maryland side of the Potomac
own 1900 acres. He said their
position is that If property across
the Potomac is industrialized
they will favor the use of theil
property for industrial purpose:

specified extends from Key
Bridge upstream to the site Of
the projected Potomac Electric
Power Co. plant at the mouth
Of the Monocacy River.
1t was pointed out that a lane
use survey made in connection
with the current transit study
for the area had urged that the
land bordering both sides of the
Potomac should be kept as open
country.
Threat to Water Supply
1t was also decided that the
eventual resolution should state
opposition to industrial use OF
the land or its use by any opera
