DlSpATCH FROM REUTER'5' SEARS
 ED. (. ROBINSON
New 2Oth Century Feature Is Story of Famous
 News Agency

"The man who made news" well could be the title of "A Dispatch From Reuter's' which is Edward G. Robinson's new starring picture for Warner Bros, opening on Sun day for a three-day run at the 20th Century Theatre.
 It is the story of Paul Julius Reuter-. founder of the present of ficial British international news agency, which still bears his name According to a Reuters tBritish) news dispatch" is phrase famil- jar to every newspaper reader, the world over.
 Because of the nature of the story, and the nature of the man who lived it less than a century ago, it is one of the fastest nov ing screen plays Robinson ever has done, he says. The character, he adds, is most fascinating.
 "A Dispatch From Reuters" covers the period between 1883 and 1865, jumps from Aachen to Brus- sels to Paris to London to Crook shaven to New York to Washing ton, D. C., and back to London again, and presents many charac- ters who not only recorded history but made it. Louis Napoleon. Abra- ham Lincoln. Delane, famed editor of the great London Times. A dozen others.
 Besides Robinson, the notable cast includes Edna Best, Eddie Albert. Albert Basserman, Gene Lockhart, Otto Kruger, Nigel Bruce, Montagu Love and James Steph- enson. William Dieterle directed from the screen play by Milton Krims.

TAX RATE
 REDUCED
 HALF-k|LL
lowest Tax Since 1918 Sci By Equalization
 Board Here

A tax rate of 171a mills, lowest tax rate since 1918, was set for Juneau last night when city coun- cilmen held their final session as a board of equalization.
 An increase of $154,7 in the to- tai assessed valuation of real and personal properties and automo- piles within the city over the as sessment values on the books a year ago enabled councilmen to set the lower rate. according to May or Harry I. Lucas.
 Tax rolls showed an assessed val uation of real and personal prop erty for 1941 of $7,383, 1895, or a gain of $130,650 over the assessed valua- tion of $7,252,745 last year. Auto mobile valuations this year total $219,225, as against $195,125 year ago, gain of $24,100.
 Total assessed values in Juneau of $7,602,62O, taxed at the rate of 1712 mills, will yield slightly less than the $134,0O0 which must be raised in taxes to meet the 1941- AZ budget requirements. If the 18-mill rate in force last year were applied to this years assessment valuations, the income from taxes would be $136.847 or more tha-, required in the city budget as ap- proved recently.
 There was brief period of low tax rates around 1917, when the rate was 16 mills, city records showed, and in 1918, when the rate was IS mills. However in 1916 the rate stood at 20 mills and shortly after the end of World War I they again climbed to 20 mills, in 1926.

completed at Sigrid's Beauty Salon this week, when the Dewar system of body contour and The Slenderator were actually put into practice here. "The machine is most effective reports Mrs. Cooper, owner of Sig rids.
 Added to the use of this body contour method for women, who desire to reduce the most effective and easiest way, is the important fact that operators for the equip ment are also recently from the states where they have been doing the same duty.
 The Misses Ruth Chadwick and Erma Deidrick have had over two years experience under the Dewar system of body contour and the Slenderator equipment. Ti>ey have been with the leading shops in the states which have been operating with the equipment the past few years.
 This newest method of reducing is probably the most effective and safest in existence. There is no diet, no drugs, no heat, no showers, no massage, and no exercise, to reduce under this method The machine, entirely. electrical does the work for you. It takes inches off ones figure. where one wants it taken off.
 Such nationally known firms as Frederick & Nelson, Seattle; Charles of the Ritz, and I. Magnin Co.,, of Los Angeles, have been using the Dewar system for many months already with excellent results. The equipment is exclusive in Juneau at Sigrid's.

Growth Cited

Allen Park has the distinction
of being the fastest growing town
in the United States in recent
years in the opinion of Harold B.
Niver, of the realty firm of Niver,
Parsons, Inc.
Niyer pointed out that Allen
Park is located ideally in the
southwest metropolitan area. He
cited rapid transit systems and
the projected super highway sys-
tenn as elements which would re-
duce still further the amount of
time consumed in travelling from
Allen Park TO downtown Detroit.
A new Sl50,000 theater is under
construction at the present time
in Allen Park and additional store
buildings are planned to keep up
with the community's rapid de-
velopment.
Because Of Allen Parks rapid
growth, business frontage repre-

Even the high speed vacationist,
rushing past the well-kept farms,
the rolling meadows and the shady
forests of the Virginia countryside,
notices the ck-lettered, white
faced historical markers that flash
by with an irregular frequency. Eyes
that are fastened on the highway
play truant for moment, and a
dozen words or so are readable:
Lafayette and CORVALLIS"
Lafayette, commanding an
American force, crossed this -"
The drivers eyes return to the
important duty of watching the
road. reluctantly, as If commanded
to turn an intriguing page in his
tory before it is finished.
Nice it would be, and profitable
to the store of vacation memories
of the Old Dominion, if the driver
would pull up and complete the in
teresting note Of American history.
But perhaps the travellers objective
lies miles ahead, and even mo-
mentary stops to read can wear
high speed down to an average of
20 miles an hour. Traffic condi-
tionS, too, are not always favorable
on a good road for slamming on
brakes. The fellow behind might be
riding virtually on the tail light of
the man who would stop but feels it
safer to go on rather than park half
off and half on the whizzing lane
of traffic.
Turnout lanes, allowing the
motorist to pause in safety from
onrushing cars, would be better,
thinks the motorist: or perhaps
some system of reading the signs
without slackening speed. In the
vernacular. he has something there,
and the State of Virginia already
has acted both ideas.

oreClOr OF history ana arCneOlOgy,
sketches the history of the marker
system and tells of anticipating the
desire of the driver who would have
both his speed and the complete
words on the markers.
"The Virginia system of historical
markers" writes Mr.. Eckenrode.
owes its inception to William E.
Carson, first chairman of the Vir-
ginia Conservation Commission. A
few small markers had been erected
by another agency before the crea-
ton of the commission. Mr.. Car
son devised the idea Of covering the
State with a complete system of re-
lated markers on the main high
ways, so placed as to be easily visible

The Travellers Notebook
Virginios Interesting Historical Markers Along

Speed by Obtaining Special Booklet

to the travelling public. This was
begun in 1927.
when speed on the roads in
creased so greatly that it became
difficult to read the markers in pass
ing, Mr.. Carson invented the mark
er booklet, which gives the text Of
the inscriptions and the alphabet
cal designation of the markers in
sequence. BY means of the booklet,
it is easy to determine the inscrip-
ton on any marker even while at
full speed.
"In order to obviate traffic haz-
ards in the case of travellers wish
ing to stop and examine markers,
the State Highway Department is
establishing turnouts all over the
State. These. which are Handicapped,
afford facilities for pausing on
roads and reading markers without
incurring the least danger"

Now in its fifth edition, the
pocket-size booklet reproduces the
text of some 1900 markers along
the principal highways of the State,
presents the high lights of Virginia
history for those whose knowledge
