PUBLIC MEETING SUNDAY NIGHT
WAS WELL ATTENDED
A public meeting called Sunday night
to meet at the schoolhouse to determine
if it would be feasible for Moose Pass
to take advantage of CCC aid in building
a community building, was well attended.
Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Jake Laub
scher, Bud Tolson, Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Laubscher, Wesley Laubscher, Charles
Clements, Mr. and Mrs. Harry L.Smith, Mr.
and Mrs. Roy Thurston, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph
Reid, Mrs. Ray Stafford, Miss Mary Staf
ford, Harry Conkey, Verne Saxton, Lyle
Saxton, Mr. and Mrs. E.L.Robbins, Roland
Paul, Charles Flynn, Frank Hielo, Lyman
Graves.
Lyman Graves presided as chairman and
Harry Conkey acted as secretary. There
was open discussion and each of those
present was invited to express his or her
; opinion for or against the project. A
committee was elected by written vote to
investigate cost, feasibility and desira
bility of building a community hall. E.L,
Robbins was elected chairman of such com
mittee by unanimous vote save one and it
is suspected that the one vote against
Mr, Robbins was cast by Mr. Robbins, The
members of his committee are James Pierce,
Roy Thurston, H.L.Smith and Lyman Graves.
Another meeting will be held February
; 26 when a report of the committee will be
given.
Mrs. John 0. Ebing with her Daughter,
Alice, and her mother, Mrs. Mary E. Scrim
i sher,will sail the first week in March
! for Sitka to join Mr. Ebing and John. The
Ebings will make their home in Sitka.
The Ebings have been highly valued
citizens of Moose Pass since 1930 and
their leaving is viewed with much regret.
Mrs. Ebing has lived in Alaska 33 years,
having come to Ketchican from Washington
state in 190j# Mr. Ebing came to Alaska
from Chicago in 1916, going directly to
Port Mohler in the Bearing Sea. At the
end of the fishing season in Bering Sea
he visited Ketchican, met Mrs. Ebing and
they were married in 1917 and went to the
States and remained for five years. They
returned to Ketchican in the Spring of
1923 and lived there until October 1930
when they came to Moose Pass, Mr. Ebing
becoming foreman here for the Bureau of
[Public Roads.
In dog team days Moose Pass was one
day's run from Seward.
