THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, MONDAY, OCT. MATANUSKA GETS 0.K. OF ‘0LD’ ALASKAN (Sfattle Timips) ank J." Cotter, nkveépaper ‘man end “dyed-in-the-wool” Alaskan, leened back in his chair at The Alaska Weekly office yesterday and rattled the “bingles” of the Matan- uska Colony in his pockets. The “bingles” are the money used by the colonies of the government trading post. Then Mr. Cotter produced the shining coins which will purchase $5 worth of supplies at the trading nost, $I0 or $25 worth, or even five cents’ worth. He spread them on the tabie while he talked of the contentment he found in the col- ur}y during the two weeks he spent there last summer while engaged ip a placer mining venture. ... Workers Paying Off Debt “I'm not saying,” Mr. Cotter de- clared, “that 100 per cent of the Jolon are completely satisfied, byt at least 60 per ceal wouidn't lesy~ Matsnuska 6n a bet. “Those that will work are paying off waewr aebt in fast order with their spring chickens, berries, fruit, vegetables and live stock. But there are a few who feel that if they stay up there much longer they'll lose their right to be on the dole down here. They're the ones whn could- n't make good anywhere." Mr. Cotter told of a young house- wife who was very proud of her orchid-enameled Kkitchen stove, her new rugs and curtains. One Wife’s Choice “Bven if my husband wants to go back to the States, I'm staying,” she told Mr. Cotter. “¥You can al- ways get another husband, but you can't get things like this. Why, at home I did my washing on an old wash board and- just look at the washing m: ine I have here!” Mr. Cotter exhibited snapshots ad taken of the first bale of ming from the Matanuska 5, and smiling anding in front built cottages. ms a shame,” he mourned, all the people who are up re aren't as fine as the stock that is brought in. The govern- ment wouldn’t have any trouble at all then.” ——————— of well “It * AT THE HOTELS Gastineau Fred O. Matson, Gustavus; James J. Miller, Juneau; Mr. and Mrs. A.'F.

Charlene is four, and she's from Tulsa, Okla., where her father drove a break truck and her moth- er operated a little grocery store to raise the money to come to Hollywood. Mother and daughter arrived al year ago, but Ray Wyatt kept on driving his truck and sent what |money he could. Charlene went to dancing school, even when the Hol- lywood treasury ran dry, because | the dancing teacher thought she would make good some day and could pay then, And Ray Wyatt, found a job, on a bread truck in Los Angeles. Many Travei the Path | One evening after work he put Charlene in the truck and hurried ycver to the studio to let her try |for the little girl’s role in "anlanm Is the Word for Carrie.” Charlene |got it, and now has a regular con—J | tract. | Collins, whose mother brought her H‘mm Beckley, W.

So they didn’t have the usual wor- ry while Jane played bits, did “benefits” and sang on the air until the great day when she clicked with Shirley Temple in ‘‘Bright Eyes.” (Jane's father, after this, took an auto agency nearer Hol- | lywood but not in it.) You can write it .again, with slight changes, for David Holt. David was a talented home-town youngster in Jacksonville, Fla., and he danced and sang the time the late Will Rogers came to town. Rogers thought Hollywood wuuld‘ inot be a bad idea—and they came, {the whole little family in an aged ' automobile and a wobbly trailer. There was the usual struggle—but David made good, and his little |sister Betty “got it” too. No Ledger for Failures Virginia Weidler was different, |entirely, because she was born in| Hollywood. Virginia made it. And Shirley Temple, a native, too, didn't have to travel on or starve. With her father working ' {in a bank, her mother could afford those dancing school lessons that' led into pictures. But there’s another—and much jmore common—ending to the old’ familiar story. It's the ending that {1s never written because Hollywood (has no ledger to record its failures.
