He takes the glamor out of the Gold Rush story when he tells it, because he divides fiction from fact and makes one feel akin to the old- time prospectors. He did this Mon- day night at the meeting of the Parent-Teachers Association when | he spoke on “Early Days in Alaska.” Roden came from Switzerland to take part in the rush to the Klon- dike after reading about the gold discovery while in Paris in 1897. Glowing Reports “They were glowing reports of the Yukon Territory,” he said. “Re- membering them makes me think of the reports put out these days by the Alaska Steamship Company, the Alaska Development Board, and chambers of coramerce.” He landed in Skagway in Janu- ary, 1398. He and his partner—a Californian he had met on the ship coming north—put up a tent, only to have it burn the first night. (At this point in his talk Roden began scrubbing off glanior.) Soapy Smith was quite a gentle- man if you met him in his saloon, and his thugs wouldn’t hold you up if you didn't have a lot of money. “You didn’t have to play the shell game with him if you didn’t want to, but I thought I'd get rich quick and lost $50,” he recalled. No Trail Hardships Gold-seeker Roden didn't see any hardships on the Klondike trail. It was just plain hard work, he said, and with proper equipment you had no trouble. Every sort of domestic animal — including the goat—was used for pulling the sled loads of gear, but most people just towed their equipment themselves. They were required by Canadian law to have a year’s supply of food along, and that made quite a bur- den. They would pull a load of about 150 pounds for ten miles, re- turn for another load, and so forth. It wasn’t hardship; it was work. torial Attorney General, and Terrl-‘ torial Treasurer. He came to Alaska as a young man, and last night, as he ex- ploded Gold Rush myths, he said, “In the 52 years I've been here I've no Tegrets.” In other words, his life in Alaska, even though it has included noj| shootings of Dan McGrews, has been full and satisfying. ACCA BOARDBF DIRECTORS HOLD | MEETING FRIDAY| The monthly meeting of lhc‘. Board of Directors of the Alaska Crippled Children’s Association was | held Friday noon at the Mirrer | Cafe. | Mrs, H. J.

Mrs. Leigh Grant reported on| the meeting called by Mayor Hen- | drickson regarding the Alaska Com- mission on Children and Youth. Mrs. Al Zenger, Sr., reported that woolen material had been received from the local chapter of the Red Cross for the making of garments for the Orthodepic Hospital at Sitka. Pete Warner reported on ”"‘1 distribution of containers which he has placed in the various business establishments in the city. The Treasurer's report showed that over $300 has been forwarded to the Territorial headquarters of the association at Anchorage for polio, this amount having been held in the local treasury for the past two years. Contributions were re- ceived from the Emblem Club and the VFW Auxiliary; $18 was turned in by the VFW Auxiliary, from the | sale of ACCA articles at their Silver | Tea on April 1.* Dr.’C.

AT 20TH CENTURY Warner Bros.' thrilling tale of life and love in the Texas oil fields, “Flowing Gold,” suggested by a Rex | Century Theatre tonight for a spe-| cial return showing. John Garfield, Pat O'Brien, and Frances Farmer head the cast. ! Many thrilling scenes were cap- tured on film: a huge avalanche that almost kills the lovers, the thrill of tapping a new oil drum and seeing the rich oil shooting geyser- like into the air, the uninhibited rowdyism of a free-for-all among men who love to fight, proof that the world of greasy derricks and thumping machinery has always been an exciting one. Only Rex Beach could develop such a breathtaking idee. Those who have read the story will be fas-| cinated by the filmization, and those new to the drama, will ex- perience a thrill in its telling. Al- fred E. Green’s direction keeps the action lightning-fast. 0 FLOODS HIT NORTH DAKOTA; THOUSANDS HOMELESS IN PATH (By the Associated Press) Flood waters menaced North Da- kota and Western Minnesota and tornadic winds swept areas near| Mobile, Ala., today. Generally, mogt | { the country had near normal | spring weather, with near seasonal temperatures. The floods in North Dakota made thousands homeless and scores of communities were isolated without power, light or telephones. Rivers and streams, bulging from waters from recent heavy snowfalls, spilled over wide areas. Seven persons were injured, onc seriously, in the wind storms that swept three suburban areas of Mo- bile. ‘Temperatures continued over most of the southern and eastern parts of the nation but cooler weather moved into the Pacific Northwest and the Northern Rockies.
