The family, ‘The Gibbonses” to their neighbors n Clapham, are Frank (Robert Newton), his wife Ethel (Celia Johnson), their children, Reg (John | Blythe), Queenie (Kay Walsh), and Vi (Eileen Erskine). These are the arincipal characters of the story, vith their next door neighbors Bobt Mitchell (Stanley Holloway) and s son Billy (Johnny Mills). They are the principal characters, although the house they live in | ‘No. 17 Sycamore Road,” is almost, in itself a leading character. This, to quote a sermon that was preached about the play, is one ot ‘those little houses you pass in the train.” Here the Gibbonses live for nearly twenty years, while beyond the little street, time and the world 120 by. | Woven into the pattern of their daily living, great events beyond {the family ken inevitably aftect these people. |ERICKSON ADDS TO " COLLECTION GIVEN ~ UNIV.

Mary Stickler, Reporter. 1 An item in the current issue of THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA RABBIT FEVER NOT THREAT, POINTS OUT HEALTH DEPT. DOCTOR The rare disease of tularemia— ratbit fever—which was reported last month in a patient residing| near Fairbanks and treated with one of the newer anti-biotics, 1s not a threat to this area, or any other Alaska district, it was re- ported today by a department of health epidemiologist. The disease was contracted by handling a killed rabbit some 28 miles east of Fairbanks, bacteria entering the bloodstream through a small lesion in the patient’s thumb. The disease traveled up her arm, causing lymph glands in her elbow and shoulder to swell con- siderably, and further causing fever. ‘Treatment has reduced symp- toms to a swelling remaining in the shoulder, but some two weeks ago, the patient was reported prog- ressing toward health. A previous case—first in Alaska —was noted several years ago, the spidemiologist reported. The fever was first found in Tulare County in California, from which the disease was named. It was pointed out there is little danger of its spreading in the north, tecause no rabbits are kept domestically, and of those caught wild, a very small percentage have the disease. RARE WHITE BUFFALO IS KILLED BY TRUCK The white buffalo, already a rare phenomenon, has become even more so, due to a “traffic accident” in the snow-covered area of the Big Delta buffalo range. Wildlife experts had considered it remarkable that the rare albino buffalo should appear at all in such a small herd as the 500-head one there, let alone that there should be two of the animals. A homesteader’s truck ran down| a bunch of the animals Thursday, killing the white yearliig and two of the more common ones, it has been reported to Clarence J. Rhode, | Alaska director of the Fish and| Wwildlife Service. The skin and head of the rare albino animal have been saved for mounting, and the meat from the three animals was distributed to hospitals at Fort Yukon and Nenana. “Last week was really rough on the buffalo up there,” Rhode com- mented today. “There were four casualties in all. Another buffalo was caught in a tank trap and found dead several days later.” '’ Presence of a tank trap in a wildlife range area is explained by | ducting cold-weather tests there.
