LEIF ERIKSON DAY OBSERVANCE CALLS FOR PROCLAMATION A proclamation calling for or- servance of Leif Erikson Day on October 9, was issued today by Gov. Gruening, as follows: | There have been variots discov- eries of America, land of liberty. | There was, first, the discovery by | Lelf Erikson, the Norseman, in ap- appropriate in Alaska, so many of raxeq enemy positions | whose pioneers and later settlers valley road. proximately the year 1000 A. D. There was the discovery in 1492, which led to the permanent settle- ment of the Americas, by Christo- pher Columbus. There was the discovery of Am- | erica from the West in 1741 by Vitus Bering, the Dane, which was sim- ultaneously the discovery of Alaska. Now the Scandinavian peoples, from whom sprang Leif Erikson and Vitus Bering, also gave the world its earliest aspirations for liberty and were the first peoples to estab- lish democratic forms of govern- nient, these forms originating as early as 900 A. D. In the more than a century and a half that our republic has been in existence and has established the principles of democracy in the New ‘World, the Scandinavians coming to cur shores brought with them their thousand year old tradition of free- dom, so that they not only foufld no difficulty in adapting themselves to American ways, but’ have made | notable contributions to the success- | ful functioning of our democranc‘ institutions in their New World| 1 ome. | Since the brutal invasion of Nor- way and Denmark in 1940, their | peoples have stubbornly and brave- ly resisted the destruction of their freedom and are now -joined in the fight for the restoration of liberty on earth, z Even before America’s entry into the war, their fight was our. fight and our goals their goals. And in 1941 these - Scandinavian = battlers for freedom rediscovered America as again a defender and bulwark of liberty. In the rediscovery, by thesefi temporarily oppressed Scandinavian peoples, of America as a champion of freedom, those early Norseland stepping stones to the Vikings” dis- covery of America, Iceland and Greenland, have played a great part in our common endeavor and con- “titut> o pathway by which liberty will be restored to their parent peoples. 16 therefore, highly per- tinent that we should take this oc- casion to honor the national hero whose name symbolizes the strong links of the past and present which unite the Scandinavian and Am- erican peoples. Particularly is this are of Norse origin, who have brought to the Territory those urdy qualities of love of liberty and good citizenship which we like- wise prize as our American ideals. NOW, THEREFORE, I, ERNEST GRUENING, Governor of Alaska, do hereby designate and proclaim Saturday, October 9, 1943, to be Leif Erikson Day, and urge that the American flag be kept flying on that day and that the flags of the Scandinavian nations jointly en- gaged, with us in the epic struggle NAZIS HAVE STEPPED UP OFFENSIVE | (Continued from Page One) Warspite, with 15-inch guns, have Jjoined this bombardment.

Clark toured the fiery area, cheering the begrimed Tommies and Doughboys with his presence at ad- vanced positions, telling the troops that every soldier must fight to the last, that there must be no with- drawals.

INSURE First National Bank of JUNEAU, ALASKA NEW TEAM HERE IN "NIGHTMARE" CAPITOL SCREEN One of the most effective co-| starring combinations to come from Hollywood in a long time, made its initial bow yesterday at the Capitol Theatre” where Universal's "Night- mare” introduced Diana Barrymore and Brian Donlevy as the headline .am of this timely melodramatic anystery romance. Miss Barrymore, who achieved such extraordinary distinetion in he recent hit “Between Us Girls,” moves up still higher in this new picture, Donlevy's role, too, al- hough sharply contrasted with his *haracterization in “Wake Island,” & a shining example of the popular awctor's versatility. Additional “name” players in the large cast include Henry Daniell, | § Eustace Wyatt, David Clyde, and Gavin Muir. The whirlwind plot, which con- tains a well-balanced mixture of ro- mance, surprise and baffling sus- pense, is based on a story by Philip MacDonald. Action begins at full speed with the mysterious murder of a noted intelligence officer. Henry Daniell has the role of the victim and Miss Barrymore portrays his estranged wife who, in her anx- iety to flee the scene of the crime, becomes involved with a total stranger. Donlevy is seen as this intriguing person. ———e—— MAIN CORE - OF DEFENSE IS SMASHED Air Vitories Also Chalked | Up in Pacific War Theatre crown at Atlantic City, soon.

Starring George Montgomery, Maureen O'Hara and John Sutton, the film has a patriotic appeal that | is bound to thrill every American. | It's a rousing successor to “To the Shores of Tripoli,” and it zooms through its paces without a hitch. “Ten Gentlemen From West Point” is the story of the valorous cadets who made the West Point of today possible. Against the stir- ring, breathless background of the Point of one hundred and forty years ago, the star-spangled film authentically depicts the adventures of the first graduating class, on, whose record depends the very life| of the Academy. Their trials and! tribulations are told in unusual| terms, and the film has the dis-| tinction of being unlike any other | made about West Point. !
