ALASKA SCHOOL
CHILDREN HELPED
in WORLD WAR |
Drive Among Territorial
Youngsters Sold Many
War Savings Stamps

With no prize offered them, but
with a zeal to help their country
during its war, school children Of
Alaska contributed more than $751;
600 in war savings securities in a
period of three months during
World War l, it was recalled today
in records brought to light in the
office of Territorial Commissioner
of Education James Ryan
Lick Thrift Stamp and Help
Lick the Kaiser" read the slogan
which inaugurated the drive to
sell war savings stamps among AL
askan school children in 1913 Dur
ing a three-month period, Juneau
students saved an average of $l7.87
per pupil, to stand eighth among
schools OF the Territory in con-
tributions. Topping the list was
Seward, where students averaged
savings of $30.78 each during the
three months.
This is an amazingly fine record
but we are confident that young
Alaska in 1912 is equally thrifty
patriotic and energetic, "Commis-
sioner Ryan said in remarking on
the 1918 accomplishment.
Following is a report taken from
the Alaska School Bulletin of Sep
TENDER, 1913.
A report of the war sevings con
test held February / to May is
1918, will be of interest to all the
schools and of special interest to
the thirty-four schools participat-
ing. The total investment in war
saving securities during the period
mentioned was s31,733.34 The av-
erage attendance of these schools
was 1857, making a per capita in
yestment of $16.21 When the fact
that this money was actually
earned by the pupils during this
period or saved from an accustomed
allowance and invested in war Sc
curities and that the pupils repre-
sented were distributed all the way
from the first to the twelfth grade
and that ,slackers were also in
cluded in the average, the record
is exceedingly good.
Following is a list of the twenty
schools making the best record, to-

Mrs. L. H. Laabs. Weatherford, Tex, told how a rare snowstorm in her home state created an m- promtu blackout.

 Dorothy Mae Probach, Route 2 Genoa, Wis. took a rap at the Japanese with play on symbolism in her entry to show the durability of the white race.
 She said that the Burlington Liars Club responded to a Red Cross roll call by contributing its collection of yarns to knit socks for the soldiers.
 "Now there were yarns from the white, brown and yellow peoples. V she said. "The toes of the socks were knit in yellow and the rest was finished of in either brown or white. The yellow toes were out in a hurry, but the whites had so much backbone that 1t took several months before they even got shiny.

Ills appraisal was based on a prelimin- ary survey of thousands of entries already in nard to be judged for the endorsement of New Years day a new champion to succeed R. c. Cross of wausau, Wis.
 Hulett was little disappointed, too, that none of the Wages and Waves, whose function is to release men to fight from military and civilian administrative posts, had volunteered an entry in the Liars contest. He still was hopeful, though, that they would rise to their ops portunity to pinch hit for the scores of service men now preoccupied with fighting in foreign fields. Entries from Europe Drop

PoLT's

Movieeoers are sending up . rouSine cheer to David l.. Boew and Albert Levin for their very bril- liant finn translation Of a great and famous book to the screen. The picture is The Moon and Six pence" which opened five-day en- pagement yesterday on the Loew Poh screen, as one Of the most ex- citing yarns of this or any other year.
 Not one line of this hardy classic has been deletea or softencd tc spare the feelings of screen audi encos. The sc.ipt, which blends stark realism with vivid drama and romance, is liberally salted with dialogue of the sort that may cause the ladies to rise and shake theil fists; but they are not likely to ig. nore it.
 The story deals with the adven- lures of London stockbroker Charles Strickland, who abandoGS his respectable wife and family fcl a fling at Paris and the Latin Quarter, obeying an Irresistible urge to paint. His wanderings takt him also to the raucous waterfront dives of Marseilles and he finally winds up. amid the magic beauty o. coral isle in the South Seas storied haven of enchantment tol all harassed souls seeking escape.
 Strickland is unquestionably ont of the most fascinating, if repre- hensible. characters in literature You will find him selfish, capricious comineering, lusty and totally self. centered. His character is vividly and uuforgettably portrayed or the screen by George Sanders. the hero Of the piece Other stirring ane dramatic performances are handled superbly by Herbert Marshall, who portrays a stuffea-shirt novelist, Doris Dudley, who is mesmerizec by Strickland; Albert Basserman |
