MAS0NS FITTED BY RAINB0W;PLEDGE
 SERVICE PLANNED


 The annual Mason Rainbow night was held Ly the local Rinbow As sembly on Saturday evening at the Scottish Rite Temple with many Masons and their Eastern Star wives as guests.
 Immediately following the open ing ceremonies, Lorene Krause read brief history of Juneau Assembly, and the part local Masons have played in its growth. Out of the 95 Assemblies in this jurisdiction, Miss Krause stated that Juneau ranked in 18th place in number of members, and with the continued support of the Masons and Stars it is hoped that the Assembly would ontinue to grow, climbing even nearer the top than this.
 Prior to the degree work, Miss Margaret Clark, Past Worthy Ad- visor. installed Betty Bennett, As scciate Worthy Advisor, who- was unable to attend the regular install lation in September due to illness, and also Ann Thompson, who has been appointed Sister Of Love. In the initiation service Mary Lou Fagerson was the only candidate receiving the degrees, and Miss Grace Berg, Past Worthy Advisor, gave the lecture on the secret work.
 The next meeting of the Assmbly will be held Saturday the 28th, at which time the Pledge Service" will be held for girls between the ages of l2 and 13 who wish to join Rain bow when they reach their 18th birthday Girls who wish to pledge may obtain petitions from any Rain bow Girl, and these must be re- turned to the Mother Advisor by Wednesday night. Girls who are taking part in this service must attend practice on Wednesday night at o'clock. Regular officers of the Assembly are also requested to turn out since they will compose the choir for that service. This ser vice will be open only to Masons, Stars, Rainbow Girls, pledges and their parents.

Loose cash in considerable amounts
rattling around in the pockets of the
film producers has resulted in
authors and owners of successful
stage plays and novels asking
fancier prices.
Several years back a gentlemen's
agreement between producers de-
signed to curb what they thought
were unreasonable demands for story
properties set a ceiling at 100000.

such use. Other rulings devised to
hamper use of screen talent on the
air continue a policy that suggests
more worry than thought by film
magnates on how to deal with a
rivalry between the air and the
screen. In the television field little
has been done to plan for postwar
cooperation of the industry with
that medium, beyond the inclusion
of a television phrase in all con-

In the alchemy Of Central
Pacific strategy, Truk is black

Japs hold il, good medicine once

power are based there, we must
attack largely by submarine the
sea lanes that bring Japan the
