NEW YORK WORKING ON SLUM PROBLEMS
 DR. CARLSON SAYS
Ellen Repp Making Excel. lent Advancement in
 Musical World

Dr. Rae Lillian Carlson, local op-
 tcmetrist, returned to Juneau on hthe Princess Louise after an absence .cf over two months, during which
 time she travelled to Berkeley, Cal
 ifornia, New York City and Detroit.
 She left Juneau on the 4th of
 January and after a few days visit
 with friends in Seattle, went to
 Berkeley to visit with her daugh- ter, Constance, who is attending the
 University of California, and on to
 New York for her first visit to her parents and family in Is years.
 While I had most enjoyable and profitable trip, I am really glad to get home" said pr. Carlson. ''The weather was so sold it was almost impossible for me to warm up, and
 my friends and relatives in New York could hardly believe that I came from Alaska. They still have the notion that Alaska is the land Of snow and ice and sub-zero wealth CT. It wasn't until the train passed the Cascades coming west, that l began to thaw out and feel at home. New York is certainly wonderful city. The changes that have taken place there sine 1923, which is the year I was last there, are almost unbelievable. I was especially in- terested in the housing projects go- ing up, all over the city. Many sum districts were torn down to make room for these housing pro- jects, which have given people of very moderate means, decent aparta- ments to live in. The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company built one project that will house 42,000 people. Applications for space in this pro- ject were made some time ago and there are more applications than room to care for all who have made them. No family is allowed to move into one of these apartments before being thoroughly investigat- ed as to their desirability as ten- ants" Friends of Ellen Repp will be glad to learn that she is making ex- cellent advancement in the musical field in and about New York She made her debut in opera with the Scranton Opera Company, at Scran- ton, Pa There she sang the role of Azucena in Il Trovatore with characterization, who is so well known as singing partner with Kirs- ten Flagstad in Wagnerian roles. MT Melchior was so charmed with Miss Repp's voice, that he arranged a meeting between her and Kristen Flagstad. The great Norwegian star was very gracious and cordial to Miss Repp and spoke very encour- agingly of her voice and person. ality"
