Barrow Husmtal Will Be Finished By First of Year After a two months' field trip| to Indian stations in the Westward | andr Arctic which took him as far as Point Barrow, Dr. J. F. Worley Medical Director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs here, returned to Juneau by plane from Fairbanks at the week ecnd. General Super-| intendent C. M. Hirst and William Zimmerman Jr, Assistant Com- missioner from the Washington of- fice, are scheduled to come in from Whitehorse on the PAA plane which Y+ has been held there due to unfav- orable weather. Dr. Worley reported the new hos- pital at-Barrow is now enclosed and is expected to be finished by the first of the year. The foundation| for ‘the new hospital at Bethel is now under construction but it prob- ably will be spring before much of the work can be undertaken. The Barrow hospital work was delayed | for some time, he said, due to hav: ing to wait for supplies to arrive on the North Star. Health conditions generally among the native people seems to be little changed, he reported. Most of the hospitals are full but there is no| unusual amount of sickness. One of the major problems among the natives of the north remains the liquor problem, he said. Condi- tions have not improved and in| many villages there is a strong feel- | ing that liquor licenses should not| be permitted in their communities.| - 98 TAKING EXAMS | FOR CIVIL SERVICE | CLASSIFICATION | The first of the group of 98 per- sons taking civil service examina- tions for stenographic and typist classification began ‘their tests to- day in the grand jury room of the Federal building.

ALASKA SPRUCE L2 HEMLOCK’ : ’CEDAR ’ SERe Hollywood Sights And Sounds | By Robbin Coons HOLLYWOOD, Cal,, Oct. 10.—The different between a miovie “gala premiere” and its legitimate stage equivalent is merely one of amperes, not of Booloo. (Paramountese for “Fur and Feath- rs,” if you know your Movie Quiz.) The preview of a quickie causes the blue of the local night to be slashed with a myriad of light spears; for a “gala pre- miere” the number of amperes consumed in electrical ballyhoo is trebled. But when a big theatrical star brings a show to town, the Biltmore—local stronghold of the “legit” outside the Federal Theatres—simply lays down its trusty red carpet, puts up a few modest incandescents to illuminate the arriving celebrities who provide the Booloo, and lets the blue of the night alone. It also omits flowers, And yet, when it comes to glamor-on-the-hoof, the “legit” attracts as well, or better than the movie “gala.” The movie stars turn out like Californians for an Iowa picnic—and with much the same nostalgic motives. They like to revel in memories of their good old days behind the footlights before Hollywood spofled it all with its umpteen-a-week contracts and its insistence on feeding them sumptuously and regularly. They like to escape, if only for a little while, from the horrible prisons of their gilded Beverly Hills lives. They turned out in extra-special Booloo the other eve when Gertrude Lawrence brought in “Susan and God.” Miss Lawrence is a special favorite, obviously. If all the locals who speak of her WHY NOT ENJOY A REALLY DELICIOUS SUNDAY DINNER AT THE NEWER-FINER as “Gert” really know her, she’ll give the American Legion conclave some competition if she holds a reception. She hadn't been around since “Charlot’s Revue” back around 1924. That she once made a talkie ctlled “The Battle of Paris” may have had something to do with this prolonled absence. Through no falt of Gert's—no, I haven't met her either—“The Battle. of Paris” was not your greatest entertainment. If I know Gert— as I don't—it must have made her very, very ill. She might, conceivably, have brought in “Susan and God” to demonstrate that “The Battle of Paris” was a libel. If so, she succeeded beau- tifully. So did the audience, The photographers, who stand in the lobby at the movie premiers, work inside the theatreat the “legits.” They flash on seated couples, arriving couples, chatting coliples, silent couples with an agreeable air of leisure. This not only gives them a variety of pictures, but lets the rest of the customers know Who is Who, if not with Whom. It’s all pleas- antly informal, except for the Booloo which is so common among movie people that it’s practically informal. Among the furred and feathered: ) My Marie Wilson (white fox) and fiancee, Nick” Grifide; Virginia Bruce (red fox) and husband P. Walter Ruben; Jack Benny and Mary Livingstone; Hedy Lamarr (who got the biggest photograph- ers’ rush, naturally) and Reginald Gardiner; Fritz Lang and Heather Thatcher (both monocled); Anita Louise (hair up”—and neat, too); John Barrymore and Elaine Barrie; the Frank Bomges (ermine on the missus?) and the Charles Boyers (Pat Paterson a picture of Sunhn-nnd-whlu) g
