full role of her career. It is a role spiced with humor and swift re- partee, giving her unlimited oppor- tunity to display her histrionic tal- ents. McCrea's part also is ideal for the rugged young star, and the pair are supported by a notable hand-picked cast of favorites.
 The picture marks the second time Ginger and McCrea have been teamed. They first appeared to- gether in Chance at Heaven" some six years ago. It is also the third offering in which Gregory La Cava has directed Ginger, fol- lowing Fifth Avenue Girl' and Stage Door," In Primrose Path he has drama that gives full scope to his peculiar talents for strik- ing a realistic and human note.
 Marjorie Rambeau and Miles Mander enact the roles of Ginger's parents, with Henry Travers as McCrea's kindly grandfather, and Queenie Vassar, noted musical com edy star of the nineties, making her screen debut as Ginger's wasp ish grandmother.

 ENLISTMENT
 GRO W ING
.Forty-seven Taking Flying Lessons Here e-0ppor-
 funiiy Furnished

What should be of considerable interest to young men in Juneau to- day is the Alaska School of Aero nautics, which, at this time is of fering airplane flight courses where students can obtain either a solo, private pilots license, or commer- 2!al license.
 Clarence Walters, manager of the cal schccl, reported today that his
 chc-l at prese has forty '7vtl students taking lessons now. This great increase in enrolment, in itself a proven fact that avia- 'icn has poss biiities in Alaska, more so than in the States, due to the fact that courses here can be pur- chased on the time payment plan
 MT Walters also said that an airplane flight is not as difficult to learn as one might imagine.
 The United States government to- day is looking for men trined in air flight, stated MT Walters. In fact, tha government and the military officials have arranged it so air in structed young men will not be sub iect tc the conscription bill even hough they are required to regis
 e.. Quoting from the October issue cf the Aero Digest, MT. Wal fers pointed out that Pilots, me chanice and others who constitute the manpoWer of civil aviation, will probably be put in the deferred class by re2ulations which will be pro mulgated to govern the operation of the draft
 In ether words, Walters stated young men learning to fly now, and preparing themselves to help America defend herself during her lack in aviation personnel will be put in some form of air service ra- ther than be conscripted into the army"
 This anticipation is a safe bet, because already the government has liiOJhldICo .blldO lO W<lo llCNtOooly lOl the CAA to require a pledge that trainees offer themselves for ser vice
 It is known that the drafts for military service have already been so severe on civil aviation that the pressure has been felt by air trans port companies and other aeronauti- cal industries.
 MT. Walters concluded that "all young men learning to fly today will be preparing themselves for bright future, not only in learning to fly, but in preparing themselves for pos sible pilots positions with air line companies throughout the nation .
 The local school is offering courses under CAA instructors, and students completing courses here receive a license that is good anywhere in America

Ginger Rogers, Joel Mo- Crea Star in Drama
 df Capitol

Telling in absorbing fashion its romantic tale of two young people who fall in love without under standing its power, Primrose Path," ending tonight at the Capi- tol Theatre, co-stars Ginger Rogers and Joel McCrea in what is said to be one of the years most dy- mamie and realistic dramas.
 The picture, soon to be. seen here, has its locale in little Cali fornia seacoast town where McCrea runs hamburger stand near the canneries and Ginger is the older daughter of a completely disrepu- table family.
 The pair fall in love almost on first sight and Ginger marries him hoping he will never find out what her family is like. But inevitably he docs find cut and in disgust tells Ginger he never wants to sec her again. The stirring results, in- lluenced by family dissension anc jealousy and the stubborn pride of 10th the young principals make for the compelling suspense ano drama of the story.
 As the friendless little outcast Ginger has by far the most power

The latter sent Dino Alfieri, Italian ambassador to Berlin, to Heinrich Himmler, GeStapo chief, to plead for release of the countess. As re- suit, she was allowed to flee to Italy, thence to France. When Paris fell to the Germans, she was forced te take flight again.
 "I have come to America" she explains, "because think that from here shall be able to work for lib eration of my country. This can be done only through the defeat of Nazism throughout the world.

Drinking Drivers
Menace To Safety
Reports Indicate
Governor O'COnOr's Traffic
Committee Asks Help Of
Motorists

One of the first important facts
disclosed through the application
of the Selective Enforcement Plan
by Governor Herbert R. O'Conor's
Maryland Traffic Safety Committee
IS the prevalence on our highways
of drinking drivers.
Reports received at the commit
tees Offices from the State Police
Department show an increasing
percentage of such violations, and
many accident reports carry the
notation under the influence Of
liquor.
Under the new Selective En-
forcement Program, enforcement is
concentrated on those roads anG
within the hours during which &C.
cidents have been happening with
greatest frequency. The Traffic
Safety Committee, therefore, ad.
vises motorists not to combine
drinking and driving for several
reasons.
First, because such a combina-
ton is likely to produce accidents,
and possibly fatal ones. Secondly,
with the increased police activity,
there is great likelihood of such
drivers facing arrest. Thirdly,
there is the probability that drink
ing while driving will lead to tenn
porary, or even final, suspension of
drivers license.

About Planting

You can plant the bearded irises
until November and get sturdy
stalks in the spring. Parsnips can
remain in the ground during the
winter. Freezing will not hurt
them. Protect your tearose bushes
during the winter by piling the
soil around the bushes for height
of one foot. Do this before the
ground freezes.
