EVANS-U-DRIVE HERTZ SYSTEM IN' SEATTLE “Ma anc Fa Kettle Go To Town” | at the Capitol Theatre tonight and | it is their newest and most hilari- | | ous adventure. Here is the short story. Ma Kettle (Marjorie Main) wins | a trip to New York for herself and Pa Kettle (Percy Kilbride; with a prize cola slogan. Mike Munger (Charles McGraw) 4s found by Pa hiding out in the old Kettle shack with a black bag containing $100,- 000 in loot from a bank robbery. Munger insists on serving as baby sitter for the Kettle kids while Ma and Pa enjoy the trip to New York, but he persuades Pa to take the; black bag with him and turn it overi to another gangster in New York. NOW IS TIMEFOR PLANTING BULBS, SAYS GARDEN CLUB Now is the time ‘to start gladio- lus and dahlia bulbs for early blos- soms, according to the Timely Garden Hint of the month given by Mrs, Harry Stonehouse at the meeting of the Juneau Garden Club Wednesday afternoon. She sugges- ted using tin cans with the tops and bottoms removed for the in- dividual gladiolus corms, so that they may be transplanted to the outdoor garden with less root dis- turbance tian when the bulbs are started in flats. Gardeners we:e urged to keep records of the dales of seeding and flowering of the various plant: and shrubs in their' gardens thi: year. The data secured will be com- The bag, however, is picked up accidentally in New York by a big businessman and a fantastic chase| after it is begun by gangsters, with Pa trying to buy and deliver a substitute bag. Eventually the businessman, find- ing the bag filled with money throws a party for Pa and Ma to return the bag and make an offer to sell them stock. Gangsters crash the party and are captured. The businessman | agrees to manufacture an incubator designed by Tom Kettle (Richard Long) and Ma and Pa, with Tom and the latter’s wife, Kim (Meg Randall), return home happy to find that Munger has been relieved by police of his baby sitting job, much to his joy, and carted off to prison.

Mesdames Renshaw, Day Carroll, Green, Hixson and Stone- house will serve on this committee It was voted to send a letter to the City Council urging that the Library be kept open in some suit- able place until the Library build- ing is available. The talk to be given by E. L Keithahn on the natural foods in Alaska that will aid in survival in case of emergency was postponed until the May meeting at the re- quest of the Club since it was felt that a larger number of members would be able to be present at that time. A general discussion of vege- table planting led by Mrs, Helen Hixson was substituted. The hostess, Mrs, James Larsen, assisted by Mrs. William Biggs, served a dessert luncheon before the program.

Until now $4075.51 has i been collected by all the solicitors. The minimum operating . budget for the year had been set at $9871.00. This was the amount nexded to carry on the program for Red Cross activities in Juneau. Over $7,000 was to be left in Juneau and the balance was to go into the National Headquarters for emergency work lon r Wational level. Rav. Fred McGinnis, the 1951 Chairman stated: “Nearly every- thing the Red Cross is doing falls into three major categories: Ser- vices to the Armed Forces. Civil ! Defense training, and blcod for both the Armed Forces ani Civil Defense. It was on the hasis of those services, as well as the Home Services rendered locally, that the figure of $9871 was arrived at for this year's operation. The amount collected to date represents much hard work on the part of many captains and solici- tors. The Juneau office of the Red Cross wishes to express its grati- tude for the interest shown and the many hours spent by these vol- unteer workers. Several factors have entered into the situation contributing to the failure to make this year's quota. The local Red Cross office feels that the following factors have been influential: 1. Severe weather the first two weeks of March making it diffi- cult for the captains and soliciters to start on schedule thereby making it the middle of March before the drive actually got well underway. 2. The possibility of new and higher taxes as a shadow over the public; this was true for the Terri- torial legislative sessions ' as well as the national. 3. The multiplicity of appeals for funds through many organizations. 4. Higher cost of living over last year generally. j 5. The possibility of some Ppos- sible contributors being missed be- cause of much activity in the Ju- neau area. This appeal comes from the Red Cross Headquarters in Juneau: if you dfi not have an opportunity to contribute to this necessary and worthy organization, you may do Williamson so by enclosing your check in an| envelope and mailing to American Red Cross, Box 231, Juneau, Alaska. You will help immeasurably by so doing. Each gift will be receipted and acknowledged. NEW CITY INBOUN Triangle "4 FACES WEST" FEATURE TONIGHT AT 20TH CENTURY An exciting film, “Four Faces West,” bowed in at the 20th Cen- tury Theatre last night and gave a thrilled audience a glimpse of New Mexico in the 1880s, when men of daring played dangerously with law and order. The film co-stars Joel McCrea, Frahces Dee and Charles Bickford. It is a United Artists release. The action of the story is fast- paced, with plenty of hard riding through some of the most dagg our natural country ever filmed, and the scenes in which McCrea lassos and breaks a steer, then rides off on it into the desert to elude a posse hot on his trail, is one of the most amazing bits of dramas ever caught in a Western. The climax, as unexpected as it is heart-catching, is one not.easily forgotten. The capable direction was i son Story.” 23 FLY HERE FROM SEATTLE ON PAN AM Thirty-one passengers flew with Pan American World Airways yes- terday with 23 arriving from Se- attle and only eight flying south.
