ONE THEY CAN’T SEEM TO GET OFF THE Pko
M
A Precaution for Spring Cleanup . . .
WITH AN EYE to the spring cleanup, State Fire
Marshal Robert F. Crouse recommended to
Alaskans a five-point program “to remove most of
the common causes of fires in homes.”
He recommended:
1. Clean out stacks of newspapers and magazines,
discarded clothing, mattresses and other items which
frequently collect in attics, basements and closets.
2. Do the same cleanup job in the home work
shop with shavings, scraps, oily rags and old paints
as the target.
3. Don’t forget the trash accumulating in the
garage or the dead grass and brush around and near
the house.
4. Repair defective electrical cords and plugs and
check appliances, calling a competent electrician if
they need attention.
5. Have your furnace, chimney and stoves in
spected and cleaned.
“Fire danger” said Crouse, “lurks in every one
of these spots.”

Some of we oldsters have been
talking about the Arctic Brother
hood basketball team that toured
the States about 1906. We are
j getting nowhere as far as agree
ment is concerned. My side of
the picture is that the A. B. team
won a great majority of their
games and that my brother Wil
liam C. (Mac) McGuire was a
member along with the Lomen
brothers, Carl and Ralph, <1 think
their names were), also Barry Ke
own a former New York boy who
went to Nome early in the century
to make his pile of gelt. Will left
St. Paul, Minn., with a school
chum, Ralph Denny, about 1904
when this boy was 13 years of
age. Will passed away in Seattle
in 1943. I attended his funeral;
a fine man was Will. Guess all
young brothers feel that way
about the older one (if they do
not they should visit a head
shrinker and find out what is
wrong with them).
Now then, will you kindly take
a gander in your “morgue” and
send to undersigned some of the
facts relative to the tour men
tioned above?
Sincerely and Respectfully,
Leo J. (’Ol Mac) McGuire

Kennedy Pays Visit to
Herbert Hoover and
Douglas MacArthur
NEW YORK UPl — President
j Kennedy visited former President
Herbert Hoover and Gen. Doug
; las MacArthur separately today
I in their suites in the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel.
What was discussed was not an
nounced, But Kennedy presum
ably briefed them on the admin
istration’s information on world
trouble spots.
The conferences were described
as an extension of those Ken
nedy held previously with former
President Eisenhower, former
Vice President Nixon, New York
Gov. Rockefeller and Sen. Barry
Gold water, (R-Ariz.).
The net effect was to empha
size to the Communist bloc that
United States political differences
end at the nation’s boundaries.
Kennedy first spent 20 minutes
with Hoover in the Republican’s
31st floor suite in the Waldorf
Towers. They posed together
afterward for photographs but
neither would discuss what trans
pired.
Then Kennedy took an elevator
to MacArthur’s 37th floor suite.

Rebels Spurn
‘Cease-Fire
Order in Laos
WASHINGTON UP) — A State
Department spokesman reported
j today that pro-Communist rebels
have apparently spurned a cease
1 fire deadline and are driving
toward the major cities of Vien
tiane and Luang Prabang.
State Department Press Officer
Lincoln White, giving this report
on yesterday’s Laotian scene,
turned aside any notion that the
rebels have poor communications
and therefore, do not know about
the cease-fire plan.
That suggestion had been ad
vanced in London as the British
tried to head off any precipitate
action by the United States or
Russia.
“The artillery fire indicates
their communications are excel
lent,” he said.
Laos government, accepting the
cease-fire call issued by British
and Russia Monday, had proposed
a halt to the fighting as of noon
April 23 Laos time.
Jaycees Convene at Sitka
SITKA (/P) — The first state
president of the Alaska Junior
Chamber of Commerce, Ed Mer
des of Fairbanks, stated that the
purpose of Jaycees is to develop
skill to persuade to action. Or in
other words, leadership training.
In his keynote address this morn
ing, he quoted the president of
the U. S. Jaycees, Morgan Dough
ton, when he, Merdes, said, —
“leadership means more than ob
serving parliamentary procedure
. . . more then just good public
speaking. It means having a sense
of values, and sense of purpose
and direction.”
Mr. Merdes, unofficially Mr.
Alaska Jaycee, challenged the
Jaycees to learn to communicate;
to speak out when something
bothers them; to take a stand on
political issues.
His challenge was not to be
lukewarm, but to go all out in
Jaycees and become skilled in
Jaycee philosphy.
The convention continues this
afternoon with the state awards
and an address by the national
president of the organization,
Morgan Doughton of Tulsa, Okla.
