Starring Charles Starrett, the new film promises to be one of the most exciting, hair- raising thrillers to come out of the cinema capital in‘ a long time. Lovely Frances Robinson has the feminine lead opposite Starrett, while the singing Sons of the Pi- oneers again supply tune-filled range ballads in support of the star. Another Judy Canova laugh-fest is in store for local Canova fans when “Puddin’ Head,” her newest on her Republic contract comes to- morrow to share the bill. “Puddin’ Head" presents Judy as the fresh - off - the - cob, hillbilly owner of a strip of valuable Man- hattan real estate.

"TWENTY WOMEN APPLYING AS Blanks This Week- More May Register Twenty Juneau women have ap- plication blanks for entrance into the Nurse’s Aide course which will be given in Juneau starting within the next few weeks, it was an- nounced today by Mrs. Harley Tur- ner, registration chairman, All those who have application blanks are asked to fill them out and see that they are returned to Mrs. Turner by the end of this week, not have a tasty meal. All the wom- en of the classes are experienced and good cooks. The meals are plan- ned to a dietetic standard for maxi- mum nutrition value, During the twenty-week course in canteen work, each class deals with a different problem . One class is devoted to cooking a meal with no fresh supplies available; one to cook- ing with no oven space available; one to cooking a complete meal in one place for transportation to an- other; and one class studied the planning of a meal to be cooked outdoors over an emergency fire, These are practical problems, de- signed to prepare the women of the Canteen Corps for meeting any em- ergency in feeding evacuees or refu- gees or homeless during an attack or disaster. And the dauntless ludles besldes as the committee in charge of the Nurse’s Aide courses hope to begin individual interviewing the first of next week. Before entering the course, each woman will be interviewed to make sure she is qualified and able to take the course. The Nurse’s Ald can render a highly valuable service to her coun- try during this time. Because of the large number of nurses being called Into the armed forces, it is necessary in many communities to have extra help on hand to lighten the work of nurses who are over- burdened. The Nurse’s Aide will be trained in an 80-hour course to give this extra help. Each woman taking the course will then be asked to give 150 hours of service annually with- out pay, divided into a few hours a week. The course will be of great w GLORIOUS ANE- BHTY FIELD ARRY CAREY LATEST NEWS EVENTS hard, twice a week, to learn how to ' NURSE'S AIDES' | Ask Relurn of Apph(ahon est Technicolor triumph!
