Nobody knows anj thing and there is no a rent mo- tive for the murder. The detective in charge of the case intuitiv de- cides that intolerance is at t tom of the affair and proceeds along those lines. He is helped when the actual murderer, who has been cc- with the police, over- himsel! and falls into a very ingenious trap. Young has the role tective and Mitchum and Ryan are two of the suspec eral mem- bers of the brilliant supporting cast share almost equal honors with the ars and the whole result is a well dramatic film rich in sus- and top-notch entertain- pense ment. - - CHILD RESPONDS T0 SERUM SENT, DOCTOR REPORTS ee-month-old son of Skagway 1 School principal, C.

Board, | Avenue, NEED OF SCHOOLS NOW, NOT FUTURE, CLARK TELLS P-TA Need fol more school facilities for Juneau's children is a pres- ent fact, not a future need, Super- intendent Edwin C. Clark told mbers of the Parent-Teachers ssociation at a meeting held last night in the High School study hail. Tod ceds will become more and more sing within the com- ug years, Clark said. The upswing in the birth rate the main cause for the need of added facilities, according to the school superintendent is “With the Alaska-Juneau mine ed and the sawmill not operat- there are more children en- lled in the Juneau schools than ever before, and there is no rea- scn to believe that there will be any drop in school population,” he said. This year’s school population is 656, Clark said. Next year, ac- cording to pre-school children es- timates in the community, school figures will stand close to 684. Withing five years, with no add- | ed influx of population, school pop- ulation will be almost 800. Citing present crowded condi- tions in the school plant, Clark said that primary classes are being held in the elementary gymnasium, thereby eliminating use of the gymnasium for half a day for re- reational purposes. Curtailment of the high school | curriculum is necessitated by in- adequate facilities for scheduling more classes, Clark said. Site For New School Discussing plans for a building program by the Independent School Clark said that school board members have no intention or desire to saddle the commun- ity with unwarranted bonded in- debtedness. They are facing the existing problem, he said, and are attempting to solve the problem 'V {0 the advantage of the commun- ity and the children who will be going into the schools in the com- ing years. Clark discussed the choosing of a site for the building of more school facilities, explaining that after a long-term investigation, the present site chosen, Behrends in the Waynor Tract, seems to be the most practical. School-age population figures in the area adjacent to the site in- (D 13-24) dicate that a seven-teacher school The Store will re-open Notice BEHRENDS will observe their regular store hours throughout the days of Christmas week, closing as usual at 6:00 p. m.

The committee, headed by Gus George, came to the conclusion that | Juneau not only was in dire need a steam heated pool but also a recreational center to serve for both thletic and civic events. It was ereed that a pool 50 by 150 feet! vould be the ideal size with spacious | of 1 and shower ms in addi- tion. The proposed aud: would consist of standard size basketball | floor with seating on a circular| basis with a capac of at least| 3000. Besides the obvious use as an afhletic arena such an auditor- ium could be utilized for civic func- tions like dances, plays, concerts, etc. Many reasons for the immediate construction were advanced, not the least of which was from the stand- point of the health conditions which the additional recreational facilities would improve by allowing more people to get the proper amount of exercise. Among sites for the pro- posed kuilding, the Fair Building and Evergreen Bowl came in for the most support It was estimated that the build- ing would cost in the neighborhood of $250,000 and the financing came in for much discussion with various schemes being proposed for the fund raising. Meanwhile committee members are working to complete a set of facts and figures to pres- to the city council for some forni of action. Tha list will con- itain estimated cost, proposals on fi- | nancing and location pl uggest- ed means of the operation of the!i center once built.
