Ergo, there would be friends. However, the Danish doctor from Greenland was not prepared to run across two friends of wartime | Greenland. Checking at U. S | Coast Guard District headquartés | on final arrangements to meet the USCG vessel Northwind at Adak, He learned that the district commander is Admiral Joseph Greenspun, who, then Captain Greenspun, was si- tioned near the de<Mor's home. The | Other former comrade is Lt. Cdr. j L. L. Reilly, now district operations chief. Both officers were at the naval station of “Bluie W-1" at Godthaab !1"Good Hope”), not far from Jul- ianehaab, the doctor's home for +27 years. “In all ways,” said Dr. Laurent- Christensen,” men of their sort ! gave us such help and support that it can never be forgotten. They were so kind to the natives, who have a wonderful affection for every American because of them. “Americans did a wonderful task for us during the war,” he said, “because Greenland was cut off {from Denmark and, indeed, from the entire world. Greenland could Inot have existed without the help of the United States. Besides the excellent military supervision, you gave us necessary supplies, includ- ing many for my own hospital. | “Fortunately,” he said, proudly, “we were able to pay for supplies with products of Greenland—such things as cryolite, a valuable soufce of aluminum; oils, skins and fish.” Just out of medical school in Copenhagen, Dr. Laurent-Christen- sen went to Greenland “for a year's interesting experience,” and remaih- ed for more than a quarter-cen- llury—and will remain. | At Julianehaab, near the south- !west tip of Greenland, he has a ] 100-bed hospital professionally staf- fed by himself and one assistant. Most of the patients have tuber- culosis, the disease on which the doctor has specialized. Besides, he serves a coastal area \about 150 miles long, which includes 1some 4,000 persons in 40 localities. He spends about 150 days of the year traveling, using his 24-foot motor-sailboat, which has a crew of three. Comparing Greenland's popula- tion to that of Alaska, the visitor mentioned that there are 21,000 Eskimos, about 300 or 400 Danes— “and no tourists.” On his first trip to Alaska, Dr. Laurent-Christensen will join the Northwind at Adak to make the three-month cruise to the Arctic Ocean. He probably will leave the ship on its return to Juneau. Then, the Danish doctor will go to Aklavik at the outlet of the Mackenzie River, planning to be in northern Canada all winter.

The famous zip and bounce that earned her such labels as, “Bound- ing Betty,” “The Blonde Bombshell,” and many more explosive names, has been channeled into the more arduous role of the complex title figure of Paramount’s “Dream Girl,” which starts tonight on the screen at Gross 20th Century, MacDonald Carey is co-starred with Miss Hut- ton “Dream Girl” is the picturization of Elmer Rice’s sensational stage success which delighted Broadway for more than a year and the rest of the country for many weeks. The romantic comedy revolves around a highly imaginative and thoroughly frustrated young lady who yearns for escape from the pangs of her unrequited love for her sister’s hus- band and the boredom of her empty existence. In addition to this main charac- terization, Betty portrays four widely diversified and difficult roles when the desire to “get away from it all” sends her into some out-of- this-world escapades. She is then seen as an operatic prima donna, a washed up entertainer in a water- front dive, a pioneer of the wild west and a fiery Mexican senorita. It is only when MacDonald Carey, a fast talking, worldly-wise news- paperman, enters the scene that her everyday life takes on some mean- ing for Betty. ‘ COASTAL'S PBY IS CERTIFIED BY CAA FOR INSTRUMENTS Although instrument flying was authorized six weeks ago for Al- aska Coastal Airlines’ Consolidated Clipper on an irregular, or ncw- scheduled basis, certification for scheduled flights of the PBY had to await further tests by Civil Aeronautics Administration inspec- tors. i Two days of proving run flights' were completed last night, and the big flying boat now is authorized for instrument operation on sched- uled routes. | The instrument flight checking| started Thursday morning with ai flight to Gustavus, Annette Island, Ketchikan and Sitka.
