Baldwin, manager for Benny, who is a round-trip passenger aboard the Prince Robert. Baldwin, who set out for Hono- lulu and wound up in Alaska, can not figure out why the comedian was photographed sticking out his tongue. Facile with both names and talk, Baldwin has been the “back-stage” {man for Benny for five years. “I walked out of a job with Para- mount on Saturday and Monday I began working for Jack.” Ad-libbing, the interposing of unwritten words in a script, is a Baldwin said, but he has to watch out in radio programs to be sure he doesn't run over the alloted time. Scripts of the comedian are com- posed by two writers, but Benny “does as much work on it as they do,” Baldwin said. Three rehears- als are necessary before the radio programs are actually put on the air. SANTA BARBARA YACHTSMAN HAS OWN NI_E!

Juneau, ‘August 5. — Sunrise, 3:58 a.m.; sunset, 8:13 p.m. WEATHER SYNOPSIS The barometric pressure continued low this morning throughout Alaska and northwestern Canada, except over the southwestern por- tion of British Columbia, there being two storm centers, one at Bar- row where a pressure-of 29.52 inches was reported and another at Fort Simpson where a pressure of 29.23 inches prevailed. A ridge of high pressure prevailed from the Hawaiian Islands northeastward to Van- couver Island, the highest reported pressure being 30.40 inches over the Pacific Ocean at latitude 39 degrees and longitude 142 degrees. This general pressure distribution has been attended by light rain over the Pribilof Islands and light to moderate rains from the in- 'terior of Alaska and the mouth of the Mackenzie River southward to northern’ British Columbia and by generally fair weather over the remainder of the field of observation.

Porpoise Game Fighter “I never had hetter sport,” Mr. Phillips declare dhere following the Kuru’s arrival in port last evening. The porpoise matches the marlin in weight and strength, as well as gameness, and as he lays only his middle vulnerable to a shot, he is perfectly free to run as he will, having no such drag on him as he would if hooked from the mouth. Such sport was not to be missed. Mr, Phillips tried his game again and put a shaft into a second por- poise. This time, however, the bat- tle lasted only briefly, the line foul- ing on the arrow as it was shot and being so weakened that the quarry was soon able to part it and go his way, leaving the sportsman discon- solately to reel in his slack line.
