Company Asain in the top 200 of the New York Life Insurance Company’ 8,000 insurance agents, Keith Wildes leaves Juneau Friday morning by clipper for Seattle enroute to White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia and convention. Wildes, taking advantage of new air travel connections, leaves here cn the 23rd of August, spends a day in Seattle, flies to Cincinnati, en- trains for White Sulphur Springs, spends five da there, then returns over the same route to spend three or four more days in Seattle and still return here September 5, about 13 days after leaving here. Last year Wildes ranked 25th with New York Lifes list of agent vol- umes. This year he does not know where he ranks except that he is again in the top 200. At the convention, which is held annually for the “200,” agents will study new insurance development and exchange notes. The popular young Juneau in- surance man declared it is his hope he will be able to “give a better and more intelligent” service to his clients by taking the time to at- tend the White Sulphur Springs convention. - - — BEATRICE BOTHWELL TO TRAIN FOR NURSE Miss Beatrice Bothwell, who grad- uated last spring from the Juneau High School, sailed for Seattle on the steamer Aleutian and will enter nurses training in that city. = =D R, LA SALLE MAN HERE W.

She also brought back 408 varieties of plants for Harvard. Still Indefinite “I may or may not have found some new flowers and plants this year,” she said. “I won't know un- til I return home and have them all classified and labeled.” Wild flowers are a great tourist attraction in Alaska, she said, In the Interior she found that timber- line is from 3,000 to 4,000 feet, compared with 6,000 feet on Mount Rainier. This is because of the short season and cold winters. Miss Scamman, an energetic wom- an who thinks nothing of hiking 15 to 25 miles a day in pursuing her hobby, couldn’t resist talking| about the war, having been in Eng- land for studies at Oxford when the war started. “I don't believe the British Em-| pire will go, but I'm not so, sure about the island,” she said. “How- ever, they have a fighting chance, and the English have a fine fight- ing temperament.” What particular specimen did she bring home from England? “A gas mask," she answered, Anne McDonnell, daughter of Mr. of New York and Southampton.

On the air, or off, or on a movie set as he is now. It's been three years since Allen rambled through a movie. Last was “Sally, Irene and Mary.” Before that it was “Thanks a Million.” This time it is “Love Thy Neighbor,” in which he carries on that pleasant if phoney feud with rival comic Jack Benny. That thng's been going on for three years, ever since the night a young fiddler appeared on Allen’s program and played “The Bee.” Allen remarked that the lad played it better than Benny. The rest was natural! Another natural was teaming Benny and Allen in a movie. Maybe Fred: Allen worked like everything to get that way, but he has all the marks of a born wit. Some cf the boys who thrive on alleged humor on the air get it second-hand irom their stables of scriveners. Maybe Allen does, too, in part, but the test comes in casual remarks, when the paid scribes are in their cubbyholes, thinking up new angles to old ones, and the funny man is on his own, That happens any time Allen comes up to say hello, after a scene, to visitors. It happened the other day when Allen, clad in silk blue-striped pajamas, and Mary Martin came over to pass the time of day. Miss Martn was rigged out in a pink and fuzzy hand-knitted woolen robe (over her white tailored slack suit) for the hedroom scene they'd been doing. It was a very funny sceue, entailing mainly Allen’s insomnia which was tied in with thoughts PERCY’S CAFE OPEN ALL NIGHT [ sSTOP PERCY'S ANY TIME for ers or Light Lunches all Juneau is talking ut. TRY OUR FOUN- TAIN, TOO! — & ¢es L (W R % of that guy Benny. Feud stuff, but you'll see al Ithat in the movie. Miss Martin said she thought she'd get back to New York for a quick visit, come January. Allen, in his nasal drawn, asked how about that new home she and husband Richard Halliday, the story man, were building. Miss Matrin said it was coming along and they expected to settle down out here — “but nobody can really settle down until he’s been here 10 years.” “In the movies,” said Allen, ‘that’s a lifetime — for twins, What they need out here is houses on casters — for people to build and move away. Am I homesick for New York? Home? I was born in a trailer and you name any through-highway and that's my home. . Got a match? Usualy I keep a fellow with rough skin around to strike 'em on, but I let him go today because I planned just to chew. . . . Didja hear about Benny? He wanted to go to the arce track but he got to thinpking. If he went to the races he'd be sure to eat a hog dog and he can't eat hot dogs so he uses will power and stays away from the Say, what do you fellows find to write about on'a set like this? Nothing ever happens, far as I can see. . . ."” Mark Sandrich called them back to the scene. Well, maybe it ism't so funny in print. It has to have the dry Allen coun- tenance, the unconcerned Allen delivery. T guess you'll have to get that from the movie. B S races. N
