The action is strictly authentic, approved by the War Department, which permitted two camera crews to accompany regular army troops on maneuvers at Fort Knox, Ky and Fort Lewis, Wash,, respectively Beery journeyed to Fort Ord for actual scenes with the tank corps. Accordingly, when an avalanche of roaring tanks careen across the screen, it is the real thing. The story presents Beery as a first sergeant of cavalry with a recs ord of 29 years in the service. He's slave-driver and a martinet, but his men forship him and he is a comfort to his superior officers. Beery swaggers through the role with such realistic effect that sev- eral enlisted men in the audience ducked involuntarily when he bel- lowed % A GIRL SCOUTS WORK HARD IN BOOK CAMPAIGN Girl Scouts, under the leadershin of Mrs. Harry B. Owens, Jr., arc really putting the tory Book Campaign, according to a report by J. S. Cowgill of the Juneau USO. Saturday morning the mrls obtalned some 75 new “V" in the Vic- | from homes around Gold | books |Street and 30 books from the vi-, inity of Fifth and Sixth Streets today. Tomorrow these hard working ' girls’ will be combing the 12th Street neighbcrhood, so all resi- dents in that area are asked to be iready with the best book they can possibly spare. The Girl Scouts will be nssls(- ed by the Boy Scouts in Juneau in the very near future and their additional strength is expected to’ swell the total to the much need- ed quota of 1,000 books for neau. Douglas Does Well Douglas is doing splendidly in this book campaign, according to Mr. Cowgill. One woman alone gave 25 books, the best of her collection Juneau residents are requested not to wait to be called upon, but to leave books from their libraries in the boxes placed for that pur- pose in hotel lobbies, stores and other conspicuous places in the city. The books are urgently need- ed for the men in the armed forces, | to furnish recreation in out of the way, isolated camps where amuse- ments are lacking and aboard pa-' trol ships were reading .is the only form of amusement. Records have shown that the books most popu- lar are either good fiction or non- fiction, technical books and books of information. - ALASKA SCHOOLS TAKE PART IN Ju- | WAR PROGRAM Numerous Alaskan schools, gether with other schools through- out the United States, are partici- pating in the Schools-At-War pro- mm “hxch is spomored jolntly by* YOU WANT TO COME AND GO AS YOU PLEASE?

Purpose of the Schools at War Program is to encourage each school to serve the war effort fur- ther by developing closely co- ordinated program of the war ac- tivities best suited to its commun- ity’s nceds and resources; to make the American public see and appre- ciate the great variety, scope and value of school war services through a George Washington ALDRICH COMEDY IS MAKING HIT AT 20TH CENTURY Laughter in large quantities w: dished out Sunday at the 20th Cen- ‘ury Theatre, when Paramount pre- sented its new Henry Aldrich com- dy, “Henry and Di with Jim- my Lydon as Henry and Charles Smith as Dizzy. The lad whose mis- wdventures entertain millions of us on screen and radio, is depicted in his funniest adventures The two boys are spurred on by lthe thoroughly delightful little Mary Anderson, whose ideas, while not very practical are extremely amusing. The three of them cut a hugely hilarious swath as they try to get out of trouble and only suc- cged in getting into it still deeper. This newest Aldrich escapade concerns the borrowing of a dil- (apidated motor boat for a spin around the lake. The Aldrich luck being what it is, the motor sour and in Henry's frantic efforts to fix it, he practically tears the boat apart with the unhappy result that it sinks. The problem of mak- |ing good on the boat or going to jail provides extremely funny en- tertainment. | R |ALASKA COASTAL .
