NATiUNAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Prurth Avenue Bide , Seattle, Wash, GOVERNMENT PROJECTS IN THIS AREA Good news was contained in the Associated Press dispatch to The Empire yesterday relative to govern- ment projects in this area and if approval is given by Congr which seems most likely, benefits will accrue. For Juneau there is an appropriation of $56,610, ACS station, family quarters. For Lena Point, ACS station there is $46,000 for operating building An ACS station between Juneau and Haines is eararked for $46,000. At Skagway there is $107,750 for an ACS station, family quarters and operating building. Even Sitka will benefit by $8600 for am operating ACS building and garage. All projects mean employment JUNEAU ART SCHOOL It is the little things in life, that go unnoticed to many, that makes living more enjoyable Every now and then the little things come to view and behind it is seen the unselfish work of one of those who create pleasure for others for just the pleasure of helping Many in Juneau perhaps do not know that each Saturday a young woman of this community takes the entire day to teach members of the younger gen- sration in classes of art. The class has a small charge of $1 per month just Vice-President | organization and the time the instructor spends is her own. Her first class was in her home and then it be- came so popular that she was in need of more space and the American Legion donated their Post cluk | rooms for this very worthwhile undertaking | One student who was very active in a strenuous field was stricken with a serious ailment and was forced to give up dancing.

She has ! a long background of artistry in her family and she is an accomplished artist in her own rights " Mrs. Westfall also has a position which takes' up a good deal of her time during the week she is employed in the office of the Fish and Wildlife more as | The children in her classes range in age from 6 to 15 and it is indeed surprising the talent she has brought out among the various students She teaches all types of art and painting and any- one wishing to call at the American Legion Dugout on Saturdays to watch the classes and the successful handling of the students are welcomed to do so. It is assured there is much in store in the way of a surprise as to the progress M Westfall is making Back to Normal (Cincinnati Enquirer) The International News Service reports, without apparent regret, that the swooning bobby soxer has jolned the ancestral counterparts, the flapper girl and the Gibson girl, as relics of the past. We quarrel with only one phase of that. The Gib- son girl, if one is to judge by dress styles, is more a thing of the present than the past The swooning bobby soxer seldom is seen—or heard any more. Girls still are girls, and many of them still wear bobby socks, but they act much more ra- tionally. There's still enthusiasm for movie stars and orchestra leaders, but none of that mass hysteria which was frequent front page news during the war. | It's been some time now since the audience acted like {holy rollers at a jam session of the Benny Goodman | orchestra. It's been just as long since any crowd of |girls tried to unshirt Frankie Sinatra. This Frankie | and the other new Frankies, such as Frankie Laine, may evoke “oh’s” and “ah’s” and inspire fan clubs | and autograph seeking, but the “mob scenes” are out— |and good riddance. 1 Psychologists have a ready explanation for it. | During the war years a good many millions of young | girls were left without their boy friends. They had | to seek entertainment in the company of other girls. | And, subsconsciously or otherwise, they all were look- ling for a man—or a symbol—to be an object of their {affections. Sinatra and a few other convenient per- | sonalities on the stage, screen and radio became vica- irious substitutes for the boy friends the bobby soxers | missed. Mass hysterla—helped along quite a bit by {artful press agent planning—did the rest.
