Under the sponsorship of the Am- erican Home Department two edu- cational visits of inspection will be made during the month. The first of these will be in response to an invitation from Mrs. Magnhild Oy- gard, and will be a visit to the Health Center in the Territorial Building next Wednesday. All wom- en in Juneau who are interested in |learning what the Health Center |is doing for Juneau, are urged to |join club members on this visit, which promises to be both interest- |ing and educational. | On April 19, .the club, will sponsor a visit of inspection .to the Alaska | Laundry. This.ds in response to an |invitation from 8. J. MacKinnon, iMamger, who has adopted this method as a unique publicity feature of his place of business. For each woman attending, whether a club member or not; Mr. MacKinnon will pay the. club.25.cents, which will be added to the gemeral fund. It is expected . that ,a large party of Juneau women will be organized for this event, which will give Milady opportunity, not only to see how commercial laundering is done, but also to hear an interesting talk on the subject by Mr. MacKinnon, who will personally conduct the group on its tour of inspection, and explain the separate steps in the laundering process. Sponsored by the Publicity De- partment a newswriting class will be organized in the near future, for the purpose of developing newswriting ability, especially as it relates to publiciay for organizations, among its members, and .incidentally dis- closing some latent ability. Mrs. R. R. Hermann will have general charge of this class, for which a number of club women have already signed up. The club will take over the spon- sorship of a younger group of girl scouts in.the immediate future, and an advisory committee to look after the details of this work will be ap- pointed in the near future. The club will also.take part in the anual Clean-up campaign sponsored by the Juneau Chamber of Com- merce, which is to be a particularly | ambitious effort this year due to the fact that three large conventions are scheduled to visit the Capital City during the late spring and early summer. Mrs. Ray G. Day has been appointed at the head of a group of club women to handle this work for the club. THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5 I\A‘hich will fall on April 29 this |year, will be worked out by M Hellan and a large committee and further announcement will be m later concerning these. Mys, Hel- lan’s department also annpunced that the signs which are to be plac ed at_the intersections of all down town streets will Joe completed & ready for erection by a group of cit employees in near future. The si are now being made by Henry Har- mon’s manual training class and are very attractive, Featuring a blue and white design, they will point the way to the Federal Building and detail on the signs is a colorful totem painted on one end. Work on the outdoor fireplaces which this department has been in- strumental in having the Forest Service construct, will be started soon, it was announced. These will be located on the Basin Road, the Mount Roberts trail and at the end of the Thane road and will supply places where the picnicker or hiker may make a cup of hot coffee or warm himself on cooler days. Fourteen associate members, threc of them new this year, paid dues at yesterday's meeting and several new Alaskan communities were add- ed to the club roster. New members admitted were Mrs, E. E.

Not-se-lit'ry note: Paul Muni is an incurable note-taker. Studying for a role, he takes voluminous notes. In an illness, he makes notes of his symptoms, varying temperatures, liquid intake, etc., for submission to his physician. . . . In a recent illness, Muni made his notes on one of those scratch pads whose virtue is that the writing dis- appears when the top sheet is torn off. . . . So he solemnly tore off his notes and handed them to the doctor, who looked a bit puzzled—and it's still a subject best not mentidned ‘around the Muni domain. . . . e Last year, when James Stewart’s illness brought his weight down to 132 pounds, he set about the job of restoration—his goal hungry? well, well ... pardon our sang froid, but caring for hungry people is our business, and we know that our 40-cent plate lunch will really do the job. 175. Today he weighs 167. And he's done it by—eating. Results: 15 pounds in the past few weeks. Claudette Colbert, as a doctor’s wife and Jimmy's co-star in “It's a Wonderful World,” suggested a glass of cream after every meal. Director W. S. Van Dyke suggested bananas. Countered Jimmy: " “I tried concentrated foods, tonics, pills and diets of every kind. A few months ago I went to a hospital for a week and drank 12 quarts of milk a day—and I lost two pounds. Now I just eat—regularly and plenty—and I don't skim over breakfast and lunch as I used to'do. No more food fads for me.” And he pulled on a.chocolate malt, right there on the set— giving one man’s answer to Hollywood's incessant dietary worries. o3 James Cagney, the toughie, wearing his convict’s uniform for “Each Dawn I Die,” was standing outside the stage talking heat- edly about current events in Europe. A ladybug lit on his fore- head, and he slapped. The little creature made a forced landing on the ground at Jimmy's feet, and Cagney glanced down. . “So sorry,” he interpolated solicitously, then resumed his dis- course. And speaking of ladybugs, Disney is missing a bet if he doesn’t look into “Bumblebuzz,” new child’s book—the saga of a lonely humblebee who took as friends a snail, a beetle, a cricket and a ladybug named Lucinda. . . . 4 Clear ,, * | There is ho substitate for Newspaper Advertising .
