Spring Concert Al High School
 We'll Attended

The annual spring concert, pre- sented by the music department of the Juneau High School under the able direction of Mrs. Forrest Pitts, was well attended and proved to be well rehearsed, the students giving finished performance.
 Theme of the production was "Ccntrasts" with the classical num- bers of the first section wing with the popular songs which were a feature of the last half of the program.
 Lily Ann Maurstad's rendition of Greigs "The Butterfly" was well received as well as the two num- bers given by the Girls Glee Club with soloists Thelma McCorkle and Mary Hoffman.
 Three stirring numbers were given by the Eight Balls. group of male voices, and Buddy Hunter and Doug Gregg scored with their Mod ern Harmonies on the trombone and guitar. A
 One of the highlights of the per- formance, was the singing by the entire group of Paper Doll,' now very popular, in special arrange ment by Mrs. Pitts.
 The lovely "Imortal Song" from the well known First Piano Con- certo of Tchaikowsky arranged by Gaines, was sung by the chorus and given generous applause. In keeping with the contrasts theme. a backdrop curtain of black and white outlined the stage, and the two-toned effect was carried out in the attractive programs. Taking part in the program were the Girls Glee Club, the Singing Debs, Mixed Chorus, Eight Balls and soloists.

Large Attendance Al Woman $ Club
 Affair Yesterday

The cosmopoiitanism of Juneau was well demonstrated at the art exhibit given yesterday in the Methodist Church parlors by the Juneau Woman's Club, where a dis play of art objects from all over the globe owned by local residents was exhibited. Many of the articles were priceless, Aand the club wishes to thank everyone who loaned the treasures for the affair.
 Occupying place of honor was a collection of the arts and crafts of the original residents of Alaska, a collection of Native handiwork loaned for the exhibit by many Natives of Juneau and Douglas. Mrs. Roy Peratrovich presided in this section, describing the various articles on display
 The Senior Group of Girl Scouts sponsored by the Juneau Woman's Club had an exhibit, and the. fla nous collection of dolls from many lands, the property of Miss Margar- ct Tillotson, proved of much inter- est, as did the fine wood cut-outs from John Marshall's collection. The curious styles of days past were seen in the three wedding gowns.
 The food sale found plenty of customers, the only difficulty being that the supply ran out before the demand was satisfied.
 Pouring during the afternoon and evening were the Mesdames Ernest Gruening, Burras Smith and D. w. Heron.

Even if the Republicans fails to gain con- trol of the House or Senate, the fourth term would have very tough sledding against coalition of Re- publicans and Democrats who won their seats by committing them selves to fight the New Deal to the last ditch.

Well, Harriet" came back to the
National last night to support every
thing that was thought of it during
Its premiere engagement. The rest
of the cast has changed consider
ably since its opening, and the pol
ishing done on it during the early
weeks failed to make it great
play. 1t still has Miss Hayes, how
ever, and her performance Is such
that it drives everyone to rhapsodic
admiration. We still do not know
whether Harriet Beecher Stowe or
Miss Hayes Is the greater woman,
but Miss Hayes is the one on whom
we place our money just as she was
that February night in 1943 when
the play opened at the National.

1t could have turned out that
Florence Ryerson and Colin Glenn
ents, the more euphonious arrange
ment of a husband writing
team, saw little Mrs. Stowe as a
solemnly significant character. They
had the good Judgment, however,
to present her in Harriet" as a
human one. She is presented as a
most harassed human, sort of
fiery runt in the majestic litter of
Beeehers, who, through comicaily
caprlcious fate, became .the most
passionate crusader of the lot.

ton for Miss Hayes to play around

characters upon which she has
spread her incandescence. C"Incan-
descence" is a word which this de-
partment would regard as having
been squandered we're 1t ever not
reserved exclusively for Miss Hayes
Harriet" as probably every one
has heard by this time, deals with 33
years of Mrs. Stoves life. She Is
just married then, to bumblingly
wonderful Calvin Stowe, who pro-
lfessorially loves her in all the dead
languages in which he thinks and
feels. 1t is Mrs. Stoves sense that
this is the perfect marital pattern,
one in which she will realize her
yearning to live quietly apart from
the world, to be Stowe and not
one more tempestuous Beecher
shouting its sins and stupidities into
the face of humanity. The dream
is wonderfully futile one and the
shattering of it from moment to mo-
ment gives Miss Hayes a vivid op-
portunity to be the drama seasons
gayest and most affecting heroine.

any other actress you can think of

Miss Hayes, and vice versa.

Dear Dribbles:
Would you please enter my
grandson's new address in your
Honor Roll. He wrote his mother
that he had been moved from his
former station to a point further
on in the Pacific, and had been en-
gagged in some pretty hard fighting.
However, he urged us not to worry
that these boys would surely do
their part.
My grandson's address is as fol-
lows: CPL Benjamin F. Jacobs, A.
S. N. 32165135, A. P. o. No. 241,
Smyrna times., 1944-04-27

Two more promotions to record
in our column, thanks to you, Mrs.
Helen Farrow. The last time we
had your husbands address he held
the rank of Private, and your
brother George was listed as Pri-
vate First Glass. Now they are
both Corporals, and I know that
you must be pleased to learn that
they are both making good with
the Armed Forces. We printed the
changes, as requested, under the
date of April 18th, then we made a
further correction in Georges ad-
dress on April goth, 1914.
You nderstand, we cannot print
the entire address when men are
serving overseas. This is against
censorship rulings. However, the
part that we do print, on all Army
addresses, assures delivery of mail,
if it is so directed, and anyone can
send in and secure the complete
address direct from our files. That
is the reason why we continue to
hope that all our addresses will be
kept right up to date. I know that
you will want to do your part in
trying to keep those you know
about right up with the rest. There
is always bit of personal satisfac-
ton in doing any job right, and it's
we'll worth doing right, if worth
doing at all. Please jive John and
George our very best, and tell both
these boys that we wish them the
tops in luck wherever they go.
Smyrna times., 1944-04-27

And never a word about how
very proud you were to learn that
your Alvin had been advanced in
rank from Private First Class, up
to Sergeantl Quite a nice little
jump and well worth mentioning,
we say. Please accept our thanks
for the Sergeant's new address,
and in the very same breath, for
ward him our invitation to share in
the column direct. We think that
he would take to the idea once he
were started. Alvin's newest
change was first entered under the
date of April 18th and corrected
under the date of April goth, 1914.
Please keep US advised if any fur
ther changes of address occur in
the future so that we can keep our
files straight. Thank you.

Thank you,

Once again we have you to thank
Mrs. Lydia L. Jacobs for sending
in your grandson's change of ad-
dress. This was published under
the date of April 9th, 1914.
Just as we told Mrs. Farrow, 1t
is impossible to print Service ad-
dress in full when the men are sta
toned outside of the United States,
therefore Benjamin's Unit numbers
were omitted. This is done for
reasons of security for this Coun-
try and for the men themselves.
It is apparent, from the manner
in which Benjamin wrote, that he
is now numbered among the Boys
who are making name for them
selves out there in the Pacific. We
who have remained at home are
mighty proud of these fellows, for
the part they are palying. Not one
of us can even begin to realize how
much that is. We read the news
