The film comes to the Capitol Theatre today, artfully and dra- matically weaves the poignani story of a girl whose love for a man is so all-encompassing that it follows her through a turbulent 14-year period, bringing death to her and knowledge of her past to him when it is too late. Miss Fontaine, sterling in the ‘eminine lead, again reaches out for Academy Award honors in her latest role. Louis Jourdan dupli- cates his excellent performance of “The Paradine Case” in his sec- ond American film. Mady Chris- tians is splendid as Joan's mother, while Marcel Journet, Art Smith, and Leo Pessin provide excellent support.

ASSESSMENT WORK ON ALASKA (LAIMS GIVEN EXPLANATION Holders of mining claims in Alaska have until July 1, 1950, to complete the annual labor that will be required for the assessment year commencing July 1, 1949, under the provisions of the act of June 22, 1948, which is the law that is now in effect in Alaska. This stateruent was issued today by B. D. Stewart, Territorial Com- missicner of Mines, in response to requests for clarification of exist- ing requirements of the law gov- arning assessment work on mining claims. In contrast to the favored posi- tion of residents of Alaska in this respect, it was pointed out by Mr. Stewart, mining claim owners in the States will be required to com- plete before July 1, 1949, $100 worth of work on each claim. This is be- cause the congress, at its last ses- sion, granted only in Alaska sus- pension of the assessment work requirement during the year end-| ing on that date. In order to take advantage of the extra exemption that has been granted him, however, it is neces- sary, Stewart emphasized, that the owner of a mining claim in Alaska file, before noon of July 1, 1949, a notice of desire to hold his claim. This notice must be filed in the office of the United States Com- missioner of the recording precinct in which the claim is located. It was further pointed out that, should conditions in Alaska con- tinue during the coming year to be such as to justify an additional period of exemption from the as- sessment requirement beyond that allowed by the law now in effect, that may be accomplished by legis- lation introduced and enacted by the congress as late as the spring of 1950. New legislation during the year 1949 is not imperative, there- fore, in order to provide such addi-| tional exemption. ANS AMATEUR RADIO NETWORK IN ALASKA | FULFILLS BIG IIEEDi Radio communication has saved | many lives in Alaska with further savings to the Alaska Native Serv- ice of considerable time and money according to Bob Druxman, who recently made an inspection of Arctic conditions for ANS. He explained that every ANS school and hospital is equipped with its own amateur radio station. In all areas, the nearest Alaska | Native Service doctor maintains a| daily radio schedule with all ANS | teachers. The teachers communi- cate any medical needs of their vil- | lage while the doctor advises what | prescriptions or treatments are needed for the patients. Where con- ditions permit, he somettmes di-| rects that serious cases be brought | to his hospital which is also operated by ANS. This radio com- munication also allows the people at home to keep informed on the condition of any patient in the centrally located hospitals. In addition to this medical serv- ice, ANS also maintains an Ad- ministrative Assistant at Bethel who also talks daily to ANS teach- ers in this area. This man is George Morlander who keeps them up to date on any new develop- ments or other important informa- tion from the Juneau office. He also tries to answer as many of their questions as is possible. This speeds up the transmision of all in- formation in all directions and helps to make it possible for’ ANS field personnel to operate more efficiently. Druxman had considerable praise for the hospital radio set up but recommended that ANS establish more Administrative Assistants in the field to function similarly to that of the Bethel station. He de- clared that the entire Alaska Na- | tive Service would benefit ty the increased efficiency resulting from these stations. | ——— | UPHOLSTERY WORKSHOP MEETS AT AUK BAY Tomorrew night at 7:30 o’clock, the Auk Bay upholstery workshop JUNEAU, ALASKA ALASKA COASTAL CARRIES 33 ON FLIGHTS TUESDAY A full schedule of flights after one day’s flights limited by weather by Alaska Coastal Airlines brought in nine passengers and took out 24, To Ritka: T.
