Every little bit of help counts. I am sure we will receive your cooperation. There is no real pleasure in the destruc- tion of property. Labor is short even window washers.” Student Speaks Bob Helgeson spoke on behalf of the students and assured the mem- | bers,, that the students will coop- erate to their utmost. The Chamber approved a motion up of Juneau Grade and High Scnool and representatives from thie parochial and Office of Indian Affairs schools, were invited to the Chamber of Commerce lunch- | eon meeting this noon in the Bar-| anof Hotel to hear pleas for a safe and sane Hallowe'en. Superintendent of Schools A. B. Phillips opened the discussion by explaining that Hallowe’en damage this year would come under the heading of sabotage, and an- nounced that the students had been invited to receive a plea for cooperation in preventing damage. Short speeches were then given by the following civil, military and business leaders: Comments Given Mayor Harry I. Lucas: ‘I sug- gest that children have their par- ties and celebrate as in previous years, but the city will not stand for damaging garbage cans, shoot- ing out street lights, or any other forms of destruction of property.” e Help Them Keep It!

Riegle, US.| Army: “The current theme through- out the United -States this year is to conserve and save. We are try- ing to win a war. 1t is the duty of everyone to help. I appeal to every student to bear this in mind—dam- age and destruction on this Hal- lowe’en must be classed as sabo- tage. Every boy or girl who com- mits acts of damage is doing just what a Nazi or a Jap would want them to do.” Rotary President Don Skuse, president of Juneau Rotary Club: “In the last war, I was a kid who lived near an army camp. We were given the same kind of a talk that you are being given now. We didn’t do anything that Hallowe’en. We missed, some of the excitement, but it gave us a grand feeling afterwards when ,we realized that we had done our part.” R. E. Robertson, president of the School Board: “I believe the stu- dents will cooperate. It's tough for |them to look at us old fellows and |know we didn’t cut out the dam- age when we were kids.

The music, which consists of 15 favorites, many of them beloved blues numbers, and one brand new novelty song, is just superb Directed by Viector hertzinger, the picture takes us back to those colorful days in New Orleans just after the beginning of this century when music was just starting to take on the indigo tint of the levee | and plantation rhythms. It was the music that evolved into “St. Louis Blues," “Memphis ~Blues,” “St James Infirmary Blues” “Tiger Rag” and many another hot Dixie- land jazz numbers. In “Birth of the Blues” Bing Crosby is a happpy-go-lucky fellow, who forms the first white band to dlay the blues music.
