AppLAUDED BY
HUGE AUDIENCE
7 aIented Young Singer
Makes Debut in Recital
Here Last Evening

Charming and talented Frances
Eleanor Paul, pupil of Nicholas
Konraty at the Eastman School OF
Music in Rochester, New York,
made her debut in Juneau at a
complimentary song recital last
evening in the auditorium of the
Northern Light Presbyterian Church,
where she appeared under the
sponsorship of the church choir.
The young lyric soprano was en-
Enthusiastically applauded by an APP
preciative audience, which was so
large that it crowded to capacity
the church auditorium. Although
she is just twenty, Miss Paul pos
sesses the poise and grace OF a
professional singer much beyond her
years. Her voice is well controlled

mature, with a pleasing quality
and a wide range.
Miss Paul opened her recital with
an enchanting number by Cham
made entitled THE Silver Ring
and this was followed by a lifting
pastoral from an old English mel
ody arranged by Wilson.
Her second group, in German
was sung with superb expression
The numbers included the well
known "Nur were die Sehnsucht
Kermit" C'None But the Lonely
Hearth, by Tchaikovsky; Schu-
bert's Gretchen am Spinnrade'
c'Margaret at the Spinning
Wheel') and the popular "Still vie
die Nacht" ("Still as the Night")
by Bohm.
Micaela's Aria from Carmen was
sung in French by Miss Paul, in
which she told of the girls vow
to deliver to Jose, who was in the
Army, the message from his mother,
pleading with him to come home
before she died and to leave Car
men, with whom he had fallen
madly in love.
Four modern American songs
made up the fourth group, and
these included Silent Strings by
Bantock, which was exceptionally
well rendered; Moon Marketing
by Weaver; Music Heard With
You" and Miranda" the latter
two by Hageman.
Miss Paul closed her recital with
sacred group. The numbers in
Guided the beautiful Christ Went
Up Into the Hills" by Hageman;
Gounod's beloved "Oh Divine Re
deemer1 and concluded with 1.-THE
Lords Prayer" by Malotte, which
was given with both poise and
emotion. The latter two selections
were sung with organ eccompani-
ment, provided by Carol Berry
Davis, who gave expert assistance
to the singer throughout the pro-
gram.

interested in making over their old
clothes for the children will please
watch for the notice of the start

of Mrs. B. d. Sewtart.
Discussion was initiated for the

The Army will continue to collect,
every week, the fat deposited at
the meat shops in town, and will
transport the fat to Seattle when
sufficient quantity has been col

spare any fat is asked to clarity it
and put, it in one-pound tins and
take it to one of the meat shops.

AWV5 ACTIVITIES
NOW SCHEDULED
Signal Corps Dance on
August 5 at Governors
House, Announced

Monthly meeting of the American
Womens Voluntary Services was
held on Wednesday, July 10, at
the Governors house.
1t was agreed that inasmuch as
the dance given last month proved
so successful, the A. W. V. S. will, in
turn, entertain each branch of the
service in town. On Saturday
night, August S, a dance will be
given at the Governors house for
the U. S. Signal Corps, and every
serviceman in the Signal Corps is
invited, and if he SO desires, may
take a dancing partner. Also, all
members of the A w. V. S. are in
vited to go, and, if married, to
take their husbands. 1t will be
an opportunity for the Juneau peo-
pie to get acquainted with the Sig
nal Corps and vice versa.
The Hospitality Committee is now
thoroughly convinced that their
function is well worth the under
taking, as many servicemen from
the Westward are now coming into
Juneau on fuloughs and are con-
tinually expressing their gratitude
for the services that the A. w. " S.
are rendering. Grateful letters
were received from two officers in
the Aleutians for the records, books,
games and cookies.

Ground which was plowed has pro-

Point Values On Canned Vegetables
Cut; Some Removed From Ration List

Ration point values for the prin-
cipal varieties of canned vegetables
we're reduced sharply, effective this
week, and mushrooms, grapefruit
and soybeans were completely re-
moved from the ration list.
In lowering the vegetable points,
OPA Administrator Bowles an
nounced that he was denying the
point-free holiday. He made his
request of wholesale Gamers for
decision on the grounds that the
supply of processed food available
for rationing is inadequate to meet
controlled demands.
The vegetable point CUTS ordered
because supplies are moving too
slowly or because of improved sup
ply, are as follows for popular sized
cans:
Tomatoes, decreased 2, new value
8 points; beets, down 2, new value
2; corn, regular pack, down 2, to 8;
