MONDAY, JULY 23, 1945 'GYPSY WILDCAT" | | COLORFUL FEATURE ' NOW AT CAPITOL | One of the most colorful and en-| joyable adventures seen in many moons opened yesterday at the Cap- itol Theatre. It is Universal's Tech- imcclm‘ romance, “Gypsy Wildcatd', starring Maria Montez in the title e, Jon Hall and Peter Coe. 3ypsy Wildeat” tells a story of la gypsy girl, storm center of love and hate, jealousy and greed. She |is loved by two men—Jon Hall, | | dashing soldier of fortune, and Peter Coe, romantic gypsy. As she wavers ibetween the two, Baron Tovar, mur- |derous old reprobate, played by | | Douglas Dumbrille, places her in the | position of either marrying him or | crificing the lives of her beloved ! psy band. \PRICE ORDERS ARE | | ISSUED BY OPA T0 ANCHORAGE smwcsy Seven Anchorage laundry and dry‘ cleaning services have received| price orders, effective July 25, which | will re-establish their rates on a \general par with the March 1942| |1evel, according to a statement lrcm\ the Juryau headquarters of the | Alaska Office of Price Administra- | | tion. | A survey of these services in An-| chorage showed that the prices for| identical services varied and had | diverged considerably from the bJs(' \p iod level of March, 1942, Several | factors apparently have contributed to this condition such as frequent anges in_ownership--with some the new owners establishing and | ng new price schedules not in! 2ping with requirements of the jregulation, until the situation de-| manded such initiative action by | the OPA. The price orders, authorized by {RMPR 165 covering such service: imll not only correct the inconsis- | tencies in rates and recbrd keeping but will generally affectuate the | purpose of the Emergency Price Con- [trol Act by holding the price line {on a level with that of March, 1942, | OPA said.

C. Eubank, of Salt Lake City, who has just returned from Nikolski, the center ,of his organization's Aleutian ac- tivities. | Mr. Eubank stated that about 1,000 | animals were lambed this spring, in Ithe first lambing since 1941, which is not too bad in his opinion. | The absence of natives from the |island has given fox a strong foot- | hold again, affd lack of husbandry has reduced sheep flocks from about 113,000 head in 1941 to 3,000 animals | expected to be sheared this year. As a post-war development, Mr. Eubank’s company plans a butcher- ing and packing plant on the island, |at which meat will be packaged to | be sent to Anchorage by air express | for distribution from there. Beef | raising is another future develop- ! ment planned. | There is already a nucleus of cat- | Itle on Umnak Island, which Mr. ‘Eubank expects to breed to beef ! stock by sending in a Hereford bull this fall. {island are a Shorthorn-Holstein | mixture which he plans to trans- | form into a standard beef strain. | Beef development will, however, take me time, he pointed out, as only about 20 head of cattle altogether are now on the island. Mr. Eubank arrived here from Anchorage yesterday by plane, on his way back to the States. He con- ferred here this morning with Gov. Ernest Gruening and expected to see other officials this afternoon. | STARLINER FAIRBANKS BRINGS 18 TO JUNEAU The incoming Alaska Airlines’ Starliner Fairbanks, which was christened in Fairbanks Saturday, July 21, piloted by Bob Long and | Biil Fowler, arrived in Juneau Sun- | day with the following 18 passengers from Anchorage: Maxine Schwartz, Col.
