This picture will open tomorrow at the Capitol Theatre. Gary Cooper and Barbarh Stan- wyck share stellar honors in the lavishly-mounted film, with Miss Stanwyck in the title role as Sugarpuss O'Shea, a talented sing- er, and Cooper as Professor Ber- |tram Potts, busily engaged with seven colleagues in compiling a new encyclopedia The eight learned gentlemen have worked nine years at their ‘task and have reached the letter |“8." Since Professor Potts is in charge of the literary phases of the work, it is his duty to prepare an article on Slang, about which {he knows little. At the suggestion of a friendly garbage man, Potts seeks first hand information amid Broadway’s night life, and in this manner encounters Sugarpuss, whose wide command of pithy re- partee intrigues him. .o "Jimmy" Heeds Call When Given by FDR; Is Stabilization (zar Continueq fr m Page Ony when that spot of staff to the is economic chief President himself Nevertheless, the move is charac- teristic of “Jimmy” Byrnes Small, wiry, sharp-featured, nerv- ous, energetic Byrnes is not the kind to walk out his life in the sombre robes of the supreme court justice. The story goes that he wanted the job on the court more than he wanted anything else and the President, recognizing both ability and a debt for work well done, gave it to him. Perhaps the President knew then that “Jim- my” wouldn't like it so well that he couldn’t be called out to battle again when the need should come. ~ Big Session | | A record attendance, the lodge !room’s capacity being taxed to the limit, is the report of the Moose meeting last night.

The exciting film, |starring Richard Arlen and Jean |Parker, is a gripping tale of ro- :manct‘ and high adventure, telling the story behind the men who de- sign and build these hard-hitting speedsters. Thrilling sequences, tingling every second with the spirit of danger, show the tiny sea hornets in test runs, How the 70-foot craft, pow- ered by three motors churning up a total of 4,000 horsepower, race through the spray at more than a mile-a-minute, skittering from wave to wave and then dashing out of a smoke screen to deliver deadly, ‘slashing attacks upon ene- my ships, is shown in the picture. - - HALLOWE'EN T0 BE QUIET FOR ~ WAR REASONS Students Promise to Coop- erate in Conservation by Eliminating Pranks Juneau children will celebrate Hallowe'en in a safe and sane way this year, eliminating all damaging pranks and even forgoing the pleasure of soaping windows, tricks and treats, if they carry out prom- ises made to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce Committee which |asked this as a means of conserva- tion for the war effort. | Representatives of the various grades in the schools were invited to a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce last Thursday, where the facts of the campaign for a quiet Hallowe’en were put before them. Refuse Test The studenfs then took back to their fellow schoolmates this news, and after a meeting of various grades held in the school, the stu- dents themselves wrote to the Chamber of Commerce to express their spirit of cooperation. It had been suggested that the Chamber of Commerce treat the students to ice cream and cake in lieu of the Hallowe'en celebration. Children in the Grade School, | however, took a different aititude. | The letter they wrote said: “We have decided that we want |as a reward for not pulling pranks| on Hallowe’en, nothing more than| the satisfaction of knowing we have done our bit towards shortening |this war and helping our country SCOTes |held next Friday night, October 30,'instead of the Axis. “We shall cooperate in full with- out having any organization go to |the trouble or expense of furnish- |ing our schools with ice cream and | cake. | “We thank you for your most‘ generous offer, although we do not accept it.” Ask Parents Help A similar letter was written by High School students and also .s('nL‘ to the Chamber of Commerc Com-| mittee. Yesterday, to further clarify the| program of conservation, the Cham- ber of Commerce Committee sent to the homes of parents of children in public, parochial and native schools of Juneau the follow- ing letter above the signatures of' committee members R.

As you are aware, materials are hard to get. Things made of tin, metal, rubber, copper, leather, and | even wood are practically unobtain- able. Committing childish pranks this year that would ordinarily be done in a peace year, now becomes in fact, an act of sabotage. De- stroying garbage cans, gates, walks, chains, rope, tires, is just exactly what Mr. Hitler and Mr. Hirohito and other saboteurs and Fifth Col- umnists want us to do. The more damage we do to our own property the more waste we make here; the less their unseen agents will ha to do. Soaping windows seems harmles enough in peace time, but in times like these becomes a serious menace and handicap simply because it re- quires so much labor to remove. And labor is extremely scarce and hard to get. Every man possible is being used to help defend this country We do not wish to do anything that will slow up our manufacture of guns, tanks, ships, planes, and munitions.
