Lieut.. Watterworth Urges Support of Newly h.
 augurdted Program

Juneau Chamber of Commerce members today were urged to sup port the newly inaugurated Coast Guard Auxiliary program in Ju- neau and to enlist the support of all local small boat operators in the coast protection plan Charles w. Carter, President of the cham Der, commented enthusiastically on the Coast Guard Auxiliary after Lieutenant Earle Watterworth had told the members at their weekly meeting of the program being in- stituted here this week.
 Watterworth, District Auxiliary Director pointed out that the Aux Hilary is an all-inclusive marine organization which extends an inn portant position in the war eff fort to everyone who has had any experience with small boats, par ticularly in Alaska, where know ledge of local waters is so import ant to prosecution of the war.
 There are doctors and cab driv- CTS, fishermen and lawyers, cooks, electricians, civic officials and many other kinds of men in the Auxiliary" Watterworth declared. "On land, they participate in many different occupations and profess sions, but during their duty hours with the Coast Guard Auxiliary they all have one thought in mind being Americans The Auxiliary is needed by the Coast Guard and it offers a chance for every interested boatman to fill that need. Everyone IS doing as much as he can right now to support the war effort, but this is your chance to do just little bit more. Juneau, in few brief days, has exhibited a re- markable interest in the Coast Guard Auxiliary and that interest, I am sure, will be reflected in the formation of one of the best Aux Hilary units in the nation right here in the capital of Alaska"
 In answer to questions concern ing qualifications to membership in the Coast Guard Auxiliary, It.

Rita Hayworth, Americas Inpir- ation Girl, is now at the 20th Cen tmy Theatre. She is starred with Victor Mature, John Sutton and Carole Landis in the 20th Century Fox Technicolor production, My Gal Sal" in gay and up-to-the- minute story of the life of Paul Dresser, famous composer of My Gal Sal On The Banks of The Wabash" and a hundred and one other hit tunes.
 The picture has been mounted lavishly with nothing spared to make it an outstanding film mu- sical, and Director Irving Cum mingS has seen to it that every thing fits neatly into place so that the film is geared to delight all moviegoers.
 The story deals with the trials of Mature as Dresser, during his struggle to get his songs published and played His inspiration is Rita and what better inspiration does any man need?
 A cast of excellent supporting players including James Gleason, Phil Silvers, Walter Catlett, Mona Maris and Frank Orth round out the huge cast.
 The script by Seton I. Miller Darrell Ware and Karl Tunberg presents the story in excellent fashion as gleaned from the mater lal gathered by Theodore Dreiser, brother of Paul Dresser. There are also some very tuneful new num- bers in the film including Here You Are" "On The Gay White Way and others.

p0SSESS0R OF ODDLY PLACED
 STOMACH DIES

Travis D Goad, unknowingly the possessor of an upsidedown stomach which occupied the lung cavity on the left side, died this morning at 3:30 o'clock in St. Ann's Hospital where he had been taken for emergency surgery necessitat- ed by an obstruction The heart was on the right side instead of the left, the surgeon discovered, and the lung was cramped to the size of small pear
 Until recently, Goad was em- ployed at Excursion Inlet, coming to Juneau a few weeks ago. He had suffered considerable pain since injury in a serious car accident about four years ago, he told Dr. w. w. Council, attending surgeon, when his wife was killed in the same accident
 Apparently injury at the time of the accident caused hernia of the diaphram, Dr Council states, but believes that the unusual position of the stomach must have been present at birth, especially since the aesophagus was only about four inches long-too short to re- turn the stomach to it's proper position.
 Goad was born in Dayton, Ohio, 33 years ago. The body is at the Charles w Carter Mortuary pend ing receipt of direction from sur viving relatives.

BY the Associated Press
CLEVELAND, Oct. 18.-Directives
on plates and sheets are increasing,
dlslocating some other products to
push production of flat-rolled items
to the limit, the magazine Steel said
today.
Delivery promises on plates and
sheets have become so extended that
buyers take little interest in future
shipments, due to consumers in
ability to plan so far ahead and to
the impossibility of obtaining allot-
ment numbers. the trade publication
reported, adding:
Most sheet producers can offer
little on hot and cold rolled mate
rial before late second quarter and
others are sold through that period
Tentative offers of plates for April
delivery are contingent on schedule
changes, but some small tonnages
can be taken for March. Carbon bars
can be promised for first quarter
while some producers are sold into
second quarter"
Indications that some large indus
trial plants engaged in war work are
seeking to reduce inventories was
seen in offering of surplus stock to
be SOLD at ceiling prices under cur
rent regulations. At least two indus
tries have circularized the warehouse
trade.
The magazine estimated the ma
tional ingot production rate last
week at 1907 per cent, an increase
of l point.
