Forty teen-agers, twenty girls and twenty boys, were called by Uni- | versal-International Studio for a theatre love-seat sequence | “Louisa,” sparkling new comedy | now at the Capitol Theatre. Spring Byington and Edmund Gwenn, starred in the comedy re- lease with Ronald Reagan, Charles Coburn and Ruth Hussey, were'sit- ting in the middle of a theatre bal- cony section enjoying a double- bill. | The teen-agers were told by Di- rector Alexander Hall to assume various positions of enchantment popular among the high school crowd in a darkened, comfortable movie house.

BPW URGESLIBRAR SUPPORT; ALTER 1S SPEAKER MONDAY | Business and Professional Wom- en at their Monday luncheon voted | to go on record to oppose the clos- | ing of the city library this summer | during the months when the mun | icipal building is being demolished tand before the new library will be opened in September. Mrs. Thelma Engstrom and Mrs. | Edna Heaton Lomen, city librarien, | | both spoke on the importance to | Juneau of keeping the library open | | during the summer. { Spepker at the BPW meeting, | over which president Lucile Stine presided, was Dr. Amos J. Alter, di- | rector of sanitation and engineer- Ling, Alaska Department of Health, ope on a fellowship of the World | Health Organization of the United | | Nations. Dr. Alter’s trip, which had as its purpose the exchange of ideas re- garding public health practice with the Scandinavian countries, took | him to Norway, Sweden, Finlandg, | Switzerland, Holland, where at the Hague, he attended an international | health meeting. Among the subjects covered by his fellowship study were protection | of water supply, sanitation, housing, nursing, food handling and arctic problems of environment. Public health practices generally were advanced in the Scandinavian countries, Mr. Alter said, and in the midst, now of revision 'and sporadic advancements. In Fin- land, there are over 700 local health centers, with 75 per cent of the cost borne by the federal govern- ment. Because he was addressing a group of women, he mentioned the practice in Finland, especially, of women doing manual labor in build- ing and construction business. The people every where were con- servative, hospitable, ceremonious, he said. “These small countries are truly in a position between east and west and must depend upon some stronger country. It is up to the people of the United States to be good leaders. We must decide what position the United States must assume or drop our interest in be- { Alter said. Guests at the Monday meeting were Mrs. Henrietta Pannebaker and Mrs. Magnhild Bogue. FWS VESSELS ARE DUE NORTH FOR SUMMER'S WORK With t%» sailing of the Dennis Winn, la-gest vessel ¢f the U. S.

One of the new types of equip- ment to be used is a Fairchild F50 electric camera which will assist in making a more accurate count of caribou in the Arctic regions. This camera, Rhode explained, works electrically and automatically and can be set for altitude and airspeed, each picture covering a definite' number of acres, By the old method of taking pictures areas were, most of the time, over-lapped. The Beechcraft has a cruising range of about 1500 miles before refueling. This, Rhode said, was an important factor in flying the vast Arctic regions where there are {only three stations where fuel sup- plies can be obtained. Both the Arctic coast and inter- jor will be completely eruised. Assistant Regional Director C. Howard Baltzo will be ih charge of the local office during Rhode’s ab- sence. — PLUS — The Milky Way Late News REBEKAHS ATTENTION SALES TAX DUE TIDE TABLE April 11 4:10 am. 154 ft. 10:58 am. 09 ft. 5:15 p.m. 12.5 ft.
