Two new programs and q famous

evening regulars start loud speaker
evening activities this week. The
flower seed and auto tire business
invade the wave lengths at the
beginning and end OF the chain
program output as newcomers, and
Rudolph Friml performs for the
General Motors outburst.
Otherwise things win be as usual
of q Monday, except maybe there
will be many listeners who will
welcome Frank Moulan as the fea.
tured artist on the Roxy program.
OF course. this business OF being an
nounced as a. featured artist on q
Roxy program doesn't mean b
whole lot. The idea seems TO be
to make an announcement, and
making good on the announcement
il merely incidental. So maybe
MouIan viii be among those present
and maybe he won't. IT he is he
win be the featured artist for
thousands of listeners, as he would
be whether he was announced as
such or not. That's the kind Of

his music Ii heard more frequently

unique position in music-a sort OF

posers OF serious and highly In
teIIectuaI tone poems and SYM
phorlies ana those who turn out
musical comedy scores and tin.pan
alley tunes. He dips first into one
type OF composition and then into
the other-and there Ii no com
poser we know who has turned out
more beautiful music or more
popular tunes than Frirnl.
His work in reviving light opera
with such productions as The
Vagabond King and Rose Marie"
has given him place In music that

pianist and exponent Of his own

LAKE ROADHOUsE GAINING IN FAVOR

Rapidly gaining in popularity the Kenai Lake Roadhouse, conducta l
 by MT. Griffith, recently of Portland is rapidly gaining in favor with the public. Patrons were slow to visit Us at the opening" Mr. Grif. fifth said the other day while iu the city purchasing supplies, "but 1t is different now.
 We are endeavoring to impress the public and our patrons that only first class trade is desired and the moment see we cannot exist ur- der that banner we ce2se to oper- ate. l make this statement solely with the view to reassure the pub lie the Lake Kenai Roadhouse ap- preciates the class of patronage we ale now enjoying and at all times we are happy to serve them.
 Just another word about our service. We feature chicken dinners at any time guests arrive. The food is the best the market affords and is prepared by an expert chef. Also, we have a small dance floor which will probably add much to visit to cur establishment. In closing want to say we will be glad to have the public drop in when they are out our way and inspect our place of business which to me is a source of pride"

fifth anniversary as dictator of Spain
A Hendaye. France, dispatch said
the arrests were reported to have
been made in Madrid and other
Spanish cities.
The Havas Agency of France was
notified. however, by its Madrid cor.
respondent that official circles in the
Spanish capital asserted the coun.
try was tranquil.
Strict Censorship
There were indications of the i'm.
position Of strict censorship. The
Western Union Cable Co. notified
the Associated Press that the Span,
ish authorities had refused to deliver
message to the Associated Pres.
Madrid bureau asking about the re.
ported plot.
Although the usual run of new,
was received from Madrid, the
cables made no mention of any
movement against the state.
On July II there were border re.
ports of widespread plot against
the Spanish government. At thai
time frontiers were under a strict
guard and passengers on interna.
tional trains were subjected to q
searching investigation.
The official government organ, La
Nacion OF Madrid, at that time pub.
lished q denial that the movemen,
was of grave proportions saying only
