PURPLE HEART
 | POLI'S FEATURE
CrueIties Perpetrated on U. s. Prisoners Depicted
 in Hit Picture

"The Purple Heart" the sensa- tional hit picture comes precisely the right moment for it lays bare in a series of the greatest scenes ever made on the screen the diabolical farce of justice" in Japan and the frightful cruelties perpetrated on American prisoners. "The Purple Heart" also x-rays the soul of Jap anese barbarian. No topical pie ture so stimulates our pride in be- ing Americans. The Purple Heart" pits the undying flame that is America-its strength, It's love of freedom and its fearlessness-be- fore death-against the cruelest monsters who ever palmed them- selves off on the world as "civil- ized people"--The Japanese.
 The story. briefly is of eight Am- erican fliers forced down in Jap controlled China after they had bombed Tokio. They are taken by the puppet Governor of the Pro- vince to the Japanese authorities charged with murder, tired" by a civil court instead of being held as prisoners of war The "evidence" that our fliers bombed hospitals and "Shrines" is faked from Jap anese earthquake motion pictures. During the most grotesque "triar' scene imaginable to us, who do not live in Japan, our men are tortured and finally all sentenced to death tortured because they would not re- veal to the high muck-a-mucks oi the Army, the Navy and to the court" whether or not their bom5- CT came from Q carrier. If 1t had a heavily -bemedalled officer of the Navy would have been disgraced. Both the tortured Americans and few who escape torture vote among themselves when they have the choice of life or death and reveal nothing. They go to their end In a soul-exalting march to the wall n march that lifts the most sophis- ticated spectator out of his seat. No tears come to our eyes. Rather we feel 0 surge of a triumph-a halle- luiah to the unconquerable soul Of America incarnated in these our men. For them the Purple Heart! And we see in our minds eye--so powerful is the denounement to this picture the shade of Washing ton standing at reverent salute as these our men of Bataan, of Wake, of Midway, of Hun, of Rabaul stride toward him, their faces alight with

Emblem Club Meets; Makes Plans for Big
 January Gathering

The Juneau Emblem Club No. 90 of the Supreme Emblem Club of the United States held it's monthly business meeting in the Elks Hall last night. This organization was recently established in Juneau and already has l08 members. Although it is not sponsored or affiliated with the Elks Lodge, one of the requirements for membership is that the applicant be the wife, widow, mother or daughter of an Elk. Last night two new members who met these requirements were initiated into the Club--Mrs. Thel- ma George and Mrs. Margaret George.
 The. Club is primarily considered as a social and charitable organi- zation and not one for ritualistic purposes. The plan for the Juneau Club is to meet bimonthly on the first and third Tuesdays with the first meeting to be the business meeting and the second a social gathering.
 Next meeting, which falls on Jam uary Is, the Club plans to celebrate in advance one of the many Feb ruary birthdays St. Valentines Day. The members are inviting their own Valentines tElkS) as guests for the evening. Mrs. Jose phine s. Wright has been named as general chairman for the evening, but has not yet chosen the mem bers to assist her on the various committees needed to assure every one good time.
