RECREATIONAL REPRESENTATIVE STUDIES
NEEDS FOR JUNEAU RECREATION CENTER
Dr. Henry W. Clark, an Alaska man who made good
in Washington, D. C., as Senior Recreation Representa
tive for the Federal Security Agency in connection
with defense, health and welfare, visited Juneau recent
'ly while waiting for transportation to Sitka, where he
was to confer on community recreation needs.
Dr. Clark intended to return to Juneau after his
visit to Sitka and investigate recreational facilities for
service men in the capital city. During his short visit
he talked with Claude Hirst, General Superintendent
of Alaska Office of Indian Affairs, Hugh Wade, Federal
Security representative, and other Territorial officials.
Dr. Clark has drawn no conclusions as yet about
Juneau’s recreation facilities for enlisted men, how
er. “Snce Juneau is not a major Armv-Navy area,”
he said, ‘It cannot expect to get a major part of the
appropriations for recreation.” However, he promised
that Juneau stands a good chance to get something in
the way of a recreation center, and says he will do
his best to see that it is good.
Dr. Clark’s territory includes Alaska, which he tour
ed last summer, Newfoundland, Greenland, Iceland
and Laborador. which he has covered since his visit
here last.
Born in Wrangell, Dr. Clark lived in Ketchikan until
1919 when he left to attend Harvard University. He
worked his way through the University by reporting
for the Boston Blobe. Since then he has been Professor
of History at Harvard and at Lafayette University,
where he has also been Director of Physical Educa
tion and Athletics. He is now on an extended leave of
absence from teaching to carry on his work for the
government.
Dr. Clark has published two books on the history of
Alaska, “History of Alaska” in 1930 and “Alaska, the
Last Frontier,” in 1936. Both have sold out completely.
His mother, Mrs. G. C. Clark still makes her home ’in
Wrangell, although she is at present visiting in Seattle.
On his return to Junean, Dr. Clark will look further
into community recreation facilities and observe any
other facilities needed. For instance, Ketchikan will
have an expanded Health Department because of his
observations in that city and Kodiak is to get a ntw
water system.
THE THREE-TO-ONE
DREAM WAS BEST
t Beckley, W. V., March
Navy Recruiting Officer
John Anthony Jr., became
a firm believer in dreams
when several came true,
but he hopes the one he
had the other night was all
a mistake.
His faith in dreams was
established a number of
years ago when he dream
ed he saw a certain horse
win a race. He bet on that
nag next day, and it paid
off three to one.
Later, while he was on
duty in the Pacific, he
. dream that Japan and the
United States had gone to
war, “but for some reason
I couldn’t understand at
« the time, I was far away,
wasn’t in it.” When the
war came he was here on
recruiting duty. ,
The belief was strength
ened when he dreamed he
would be sent to Charlotte,
N. C., “where I started
from”—and was.
* The dream he’s worried
about is one in which he
saw himself taken prison
er by the Germans in an
Atlantic sea battle.
75 MILLION TO 1 SHOT
Canton, O., — No wonder
burglars use explosives to
i open safes! Unless they are
lucky it might take them
142 years to work the com
bination of just one strong
box.
Paul Hawkins, head of a
safe company, explained
that a combination lock
consists of 4 little wheels
1 or tumblers arranged on a
, spindle. These are connect
ed with a bolt and notches
in the tumblers must be co
ordinated before the lock
can be opened.
“There are 100 numbers
on the dial so that each
tumbler can be set for any i
of a hundred numbers," he'
said. “This makes 75,000.-'
|
000 combinations and if a ;
hard working thief tried j
one combination every min
ute, he could run through
the whole list in only 142
years."
The old idea of a crook
with super-hearing or sand
papered finger tips so sen
sitive they could feel the
tumblers fall is the “mal
arkey," Hawkins said.
