The audience is taken through an entire day from the family’s waking between reindeer skins on the floor through a wildly primitive. Eskimo dance in the evening. Mother hangs out Monday’s wash with her baby on her back, Eskimo children go to school, brother gath- ers ice for water—these and other events make up the day of the far i"Grem Expectations” and as a na- tive dancer in “Black Narcissus’— ! roles that show the range ef her| | dramatic talents. | | In “The Blue Lagoon,” Jean again | | hits the bull's eye for exciting act- | |ing. The film, “shot” on actual loca- | tion in the South Pacific, tells the | story of two children, aged eight| “and seven, who make their way, jalong with a salty old seaman, to a coral island after a shipwreck. When the sailor dies, they are left | completely on their own, with only | !a provident Nature as their ally.! |'The children grow up on the island | —fishing—diving for pearls and | | fashioning a crude home—virtually | | unaware of outer civilization. Donald Houston appears as Jean’s | | companion, matching her feminine | | beauty with blond masculine appeal | and a physique that makes him per- | fectly credible as the child of Na- |ture. The pair, as children, are| | played with delightful charm by | |Susan Stranks and Peter Jones.| | Their sea-going mentor, as played | | by Noel Purcell, is crusty and sen- | timental—a man who would feel at | | home in “Treasure Isand” or “Rob- | | inson Crusoe.” i The supporting cast is uniformly competent, with standout perform- | ances by Cyril Cusak and James | | Hayter as renegade beachcombers | who discover the island and provide | the youngsters with their first link | | to the world beyond. | “The Biue Lagoon” is a Gilliat- | | Launder Production, and an Indi- | | vidual Picture, released through | Universal-International. ; FORECLOSURE SUIT | The Alaska Federal Savings and | Loan Association and the Columbia Lumber Company have filed suit in | District Court =~ for foreclosure | |against Philip and Gladys Strand | of Fairbanks, The action involves a $14,000 note | secured by a mortgage. Also, the |lumber firm claims that Strand | doing business as the Strand Con- | | struction Company, owes $427.25 | for materials purchased and deliv- | ered. 1 John C. Dunn of the firm of Faulkner, Banfield and Boochever, represents the plaintiffs. | | | SEEKS DIVORCE Ira B. Stevenson, represented by M. E. Monagle, has filed for divorce from Alice Gertrude Stevenson, on |grounds of incompatability. Their marriage was December 1, 1949. Stevenson asks custody of his | five adopted children, of whom Mrs, Stevenson is the mother.

Mrs. Newbould, also a major in| the Salvation Army and in charge of women’s activities for her or- ganization in Alaska, accompanied her husband on the territorial in- spection trip. Both are enthusiastic over the new Red Shield center in Fairbanks. It will be used to aid in the housing of transients and soldiers, regard-| less of creed or faith, Major New- bould said. The lounge, reading room and chapel will be available for service personnel and civilians engaged on defense projects in the interior city. For several years Fairbanks has been seeking a Red Shield center, but lack of money, property and personnel has prevented the en- trance of this activity into the town | until now. i “The dedication of our building in Fairbanks is gratifying to us,"‘, “The Red| Shield center gives us a shelter al- most in the center of town. There are dormitory accommodations for | 22 persons, with beds in the separate rooms for six more. | “Ceremonies were held Sunday afternoon, with Major Robert Hoopes representing Fairbanks as a principal speaker. The president of the Central Labor Council and representatives of the Ministerial Association and Ladd air base were also on the program.” | In Anchorage, Major Newbould supervised the establishment of en- larged quarters for the Red Shield center in a recently purchased‘ property which will allow sleeping | space for 80 to 90 homeless men a night. | “If we had more room, we would be sleeping more men,” Major New- | bould said. “With the mines closing down, and people still flocking into Anchorage, there is a definite need of the service we are able to pro- vide. People who come to town broke, have no money for hotels or rooms, even when they get jobs, until their first pay day. These men we help and wish we were able to aid more| of them.” ) !

He was employed as a surveyor, foreman, and engineer until July 1, 1929, when he was appointed Acting Sup- erintendent of the Fairbanks Di trict. On January 1, 1930, he w promoted to the position of Sup- erintendent of the Fairbanks D trict (later changed to District Engineer) and he has served in that position continuously for over twenty years until the present time. During the early period of Nash's service with the Alaska Road Com- mission, Fairbanks was a pioneer community and the dog team was the only way of travel when the winter snows had covered the coun- try. Nash was an outstanding ex- pert with dog team transportation and made many long and arduous Journeys by this means for the Al- aska Road Commission, exploring the Yukon and Tanana River ba- sins before they were opened up by roads. He was familiar with over { Beaver, Fort Yukon, Circle, Eagle, the Forty Mile, and Upper Tanana { River long before the Steese High- way and the Alaska Highway were conceived, Later Nash was intimate- ly concerned with the construction of roads into all these regions and their improvement to the present high standard. He also was deepiy concerned with the development of roads in outlying localities such as Hot Springs, Ruby, Wiseman, and many other places. His work was of a very high caliber, and he has been recommended for the Meritor- ious Service Award of the Depart- ment of the Interior in recogni- tion of his long and excellent ser- vice. Nash is one of Alaska’s outstand- ing citizens. He has been active in the work of the Rotary Club and the American Legion and has serv- ed as Department Commander and Alternate Executive Committee- man of Alaska for the American Legion, His retirement will take effect about November 25, 1950, af- ter the completion of field opera- tions of the Alaska Road Commis- sion for the working season of this year.
