7TH AR MY IN BIG DRIVE UP RH0NE VALLEY.
Avignon Falls as Ameri- cans and French Take
 Aries, Taraseon

ROME, Aug. 26.-Americap col umns have occupied the Alpine town of Briancon, near the Italian front fer, and more than a hundred miles to the north captured the seaport of Cannes. Other Seventh Army forces have driven to Avignon, key communications center of the Rhone Valley Delta, Allied Headquarters said.
 The German radio said that clash es of probing American and Patriot forces in the Rhone Valley, as far as Valence and Loriol have occurred. Valence is 1l0 miles up the Rhone Valley form the Mediterranean coast and Loriol is about Is miles south.
 Reports from southern France in- dicated, however, that the situation is comparable to that of Brittany when Americans first broke out on the Normandy beachhead. Patriot and Seventh Army forces appeared to be roaming widely, seeking out disorganized enemy groups who were fleeing through the narrow gap be- tween Allied forces in northern and southern France.
 Just before Avignon fell Amer jeans and French troops reported that they occupied Aries and Tar ascon, Rhone River cities below Avignon.

MRS. RUSCH TO BE NEW TEACHER AT
 GOVT. HOSPITAL

Mrs. Dora c. Rusch has arrived here from the South to enter her new position as teacher in the Gov ernment Hospital.
 Children in the Tubercular Annex of the hospital whom the doctors consider sufficiently well to devote some time each day to study will be under the tutelage of Mrs. Rusch who has had, in addition to the usual teachers training, special work in music, art, and clothing design.
 Much of the training will be done on an individual tutoring basis but there is limited number who can convene in small groups. There are approximately 35 children, as well as some adults, who will be assisted by Mrs. Rusch
 This type of work has been suc- cessfully carried on at Bethel where one room of the hospital there has been set aside as school room. Not only does it enable the children, upon recovery, to take their place in the public school beside others of their own age, but it takes their mind off of their illness for many hours of the day.
 Such work at the Government Hospital in Juneau was previously handled as part-time basis by Ju-, neau and Douglas Government School teachers, but the number of children needing such aid has jus tified the employment of a regular teacher.
 Mrs. Rusch has had several years experience in this field and, before coming to Alaska, was employed in Montana.

 CAPITOL THEATRE

The Capitol Theatres coming attraction, Hit Parade of 1943" which will open there on Sunday for a three days engagement, is Republic Studios most recent bid for laurels in the musical comedy field Judging from advance re- ports, the film offers everything the doctor ordered in the way of songs, dancing and general merri- ment.
 Susan Hayward and John Car roll head the star-studded cast. Susan is a small town girl who comes to New York hoping to break into the professional song writing field. Carroll is a brash young night club singer who has blithely pirated one of Susan's songs, ap- propriating it for his own use and profit.
 Susan's original intention was to expose him as a cheat and hoax. but she contrives a more subtle form of revenge when he asks her to ghost write" all his songs on a 50-50 basis. She will seemingly agree to his proposal, write a few songs for him, and then expose him when his name is still bigger, so that his humiliation will be all the more acute.
 But in the course of her associa- tion with him, she succumbs to his charm and falls in love with him. and he turns out to be a right guy" after all.
