When Eva said she saw all the sights, she meant just that, inclu- | ding many other Alaskans vaca- | tioning there. She flew over via Pan American World Airways with pilot S. E. Robbins, former Alas- ‘ykan. and returned on the S. S, | Lurline. “There was tremendous interest in Alaska,” Eva reported, “And 40 businessmen are planning an Al- askan trip next June. TNl be on hand in Fairbanks to greet them.” Mrs. McGown is a two-way sales- man in that while in Hawaii, she was selling Alaska, and now home again, she is lling Hawaii. While Eva made a trip back to her native Ireland in 1947, this was her first tropical journey and she went for it like a prospector jon a new stampede.. She learned {to relax, wear the bright flowing | Hawaiian garments, fell in love | with the music and spirit of the country. The thing that impressed her most was the profusion of beauti- ful flowers - in addidion to the pervading courtesy of the people there. “Just so many little court- esies . . » she bubbled. “Of course, it'’s good to be home again where we have seasons,” she sighed. Eve first came to Alaska in 1914 and quickly became a part of Al- aska. Ever since the beginning of the last war she has been official hostess for Fairbanks in charge of housing for travelers and others. Many an attic or basement has been converted into a spare ren- tal room in the face of her power- ful arguments. For those who have Fairbanks, Eva will be remembered by many for the many little things she always finds time to do such as take a bowl of hot soup to an ailing sourdough, flowers for a shut-in, toy for some child, hos- pital calls. Everyone can tell her blocks away by her alert hurried walk and her hats! Yes, her hats with feathers and veils, flowers and fluff bespeak her bubbling person- ality end none can forget her rich Irish hrogue with green sham- rocks dripping from it.

JANE MMILLIN T MC SINGERS MARCH CONCERT Mr. Don Mcmuiun oetier known as Jane) has emerged from the past 18 months of not feeling exactly up to par in strength and energy, having produced in the in- terim an addition‘to the McMullin household by the name of Eliza- beth, as a dynamic and forceful personality. In directing the March Concert offering weekend feature is and the rneatre is for th One Ballroom” ments Jimmy Dorsey, Wee Hunt the 9 at the 20th Century Theatre, Mrs. McMullin has displayed a great talent and knowledge of musical comedy, as well as the classical type of music. In rehearsals she has been in- sistent on exactness of tane, blend- ing, and interpretation of the mu- sic and has worked with such tire- less energy as to exhaust even the most robust made member of The Juneau Singers. The influence of this new Jane will be evident in next week's per- formance as The Singers have cap- tured her liveliness and high spirit which had been somewhat subdued in the past year or two. Mrs, McMullin will MC the second act of the show from on- stage in the role of a singer for the purposé of cueing the performers. CHRYSLER GIVEN BIG CONTRACT; TO MAKE ARMY TANK ENGINES Production of tank engines by Chrysler Corporation has been as- signed to its Chrysler Division and preparations for tank engine man- ufacturing in New Orleans are un- derway, it was announced recently by David A. Wallace, Chrysler Di- vision president. The U. S. Army has obtained the large Michaud plant which was built on the outskirts of New Or- leans during World War II, and it has assigned this plant to the Chrysler Division for tank engine production. The present contem- plated production of tank engines by Chrysler amounts to $100,000,000 A native of Louisiana, engine as- sembly specialist R. S. Bright, Las been appointed general manager of the New Orleans Chrysler opera- tion, Wallace announced. Born in Plaindealing, La., Bright was edu- cated at the University of Tennes- see and was graduated from the Chrysler Institute of Engineering in 1940. The tank engine which the Chry- sler Division will make in New Or- leans is A V-12 air-cooled power plant designed and developed by Continental Motors, Inc. Before actual production can begin, the New Orleans plant will have to be completely reconditioned and re- tooled,” Wallage declared. A work force of several hundred men will be required at the Mich- aud plant during the make-ready period, and about 3,000 persons will be employed as production gets un- derway, with this number eventu- ally rising to, about 5,000. It is expected that New Orleans will be able to supply more than 9( percént of the required workers and Chrysler is planning to con- duct extensive training at the plant to develop the exacting skill needed in engine building.
