ATLANTIC CITY"
DELUXE FEATURE,
CAPITOL TONIGHT

Delightful melody, clever dancing,
and hilarious comedy blend in a be-
lievable story of an American insti-
tuition in Atlantic City," which Re-
public studio presents at the Capitol
Theatre tonight.
Constance Moore is the singing
star, with a handsome and efficient
young newcomer, Brad Taylor. The
featured cast includes such not
ables as Charley Grapewin, Jerry
Colonna, Paul Whiteman, dean of
American music in the modern
rhythm, Belle Baker, Louie Arm
strong and his band, new Gala
CHER and Shean team, with the ORR
ginal Shean, also new Van and
Schenck, with the veteran, Gus Van,
Buck and Bubbles, Dorothy Dand-
ridge, the sepia songbird, and Rob-
ert Castaine, distinguished New York

This is the story of Atlantic City
in the era of its glittering triumph
as Americas playground, from about
1915 through 1929. Many scenes were
filmed there and others were built
in replica at the studio. The special
ty numbers, with dances and songs,
are cleverly introduced in a plausi-
BILE plot by Arthur Caesar. The
direction by Ray McCarey is ex-
pect, with artistic dance direction

POPPY DAY
IN JUNEAU
IS MAY Il

Poppies to honor Americas dead
warriors of two World Wars will be
worn in Juneau on Saturday, May
26, Mrs. w. J.. Manthey, President
of Afford John Bradford Unit of the
American Legion Auxiliary, announ-
ced today.
The little red flowers will pay
tribute both to those men who have
died for their country. in the present
war and to these who fell 81 years
ago in France and Belgium among
the swaying peoples. The money
that is received for the flowers will
be used to aid the afflicted veter-
ans of both wars and their families.
Extensive preparations for the OBJ
servance of Poppy Day are being
made by the Juneau Unit of the
Auxiliary here under the leadership
of Mrs Manthey and Mrs. Olaf
Bedding, Unit Poppy Chairman. Ev-
eryone in the city win be able to buy
the flowers of remembrance from
the many volunteer workers from
the Auxiliary who will be on the
streets all through the day.
The flowers are made of crepe
paper on the pattern of the wild
poppy of Flanders. They have been
ordered from Walla Walla where
disabled veterans made them under
the direction of the Washington
State Department of the Auxiliary.
Making the peoples has helped these
veterans keep their minds and
fingers occupied, causing the other
wise tedious months to pass quick
ly and at the same time furnishing
the men with means of livelihood.
This year it is expected that more
Americans than ever before will wish
to wear the poppies as salute to
the dead soldiers and ylcir bereav-
ed families, and as a financial aid
to the living but disabled soldiers
and their needy families.

RENT REGULATION
AMENDMENTS ARE
ANNOUNCED HERE

The Rent Division of the Office
of Price Administration in Juneau
has received an important notice of
an amendment to the rent ,regula-
tons for housing and for hotels and
rccming house. The new amend
ment applies to all rented housing
accommodations, hotels and room
ing houses. 1t provides that all
landlords who acquired title to rent
ed properties between March, l943,
and May S, 1945. must file a notice
showing the change in the identity
of the landlord on or before May 81,
1945. Forms for reporting the
change in identity have already
been received here and are available
at the local War Price and Ration
ing Board Office
This new revision in the rent law
also provides that when the change
in identity occurred on or after May
S, 1915, the new landlord shall file
a notice within 10 days after the
change in title. If the new landlord
indicates ON the notice that he has
not obtained registration state
ment from the proceeding landlord,
he can get his own copy at the local
WP and r Board office.
This new filing requirement in no
way changes the law with respect
to the duty to file reports showing
a change in tenants, however.
Approximately eight hundred
dwelling units in Alaska have been
involved in administrator proceed
ings affecting the rent level since
control became effective Notices
and orders on these proceedings are
served on the Ian Ilord whose name
is on record at the OPA office. Ac-
cording to E. P. McCarron, Alaska
Rent Director, the new amendment
gives the proper landlord assurance
that no actions can be taken con-
corning his rented property without
his full knowledge. The Rent Dir
ector added that the registration
records in the OPA offices have be-
come inaccurate as result of the
active sales market in real estate.
we are going to rely" Mr.. McCar-
ron said. ION continued cooperation
from landlords throughout Alaska,
and we expect that all reports show
ing change of identity in landlords
will be filed by May 3D.

SEEDS ARE SEED
FOR FUTURE FOR
ALASKAFARMING
Agriculture Department
Opens Reid for Wide
Development

A large share of the glowing agri-
cultural future predicted for Alaska
lies in the production of seeds. At
least, that is the view of Ed Bald
win, operator of the Alaska Seed
Co. which has been located at
Sitka, but is being moved to An
chorage.
Mr.. Baldwin has been pushing
Alaska seed growing for some time
now, and has put together an or
ganization of growers that last year
raised IA different varieties of flow
ers from selected native wild plants.
This year is to see the first pro-
duction of vegetable seeds on COM
mercial scale.
Mr. Baldwin has long been en-
thusiastic over the possibilities of
seed culture in Alaska, though his
firm is concerned principally with
the marketing end of the business.
Alaska seed, growing as far north as
it does, has been established as more
reSistant-both to climatic seventies
and to pests or diseases than any
now commonly obtainable in the
States. The hardy nature of the
Alaska grown seed is evidenced by
the current use of some seed ORR
ginally grown in the Territory 35
years ago, he declared.
1t is common practice for South
ern growers to send to such north
ern" localities as Idaho for seed
that is not nearly of the quality that
is possible in Alaska. In addition to
the constant demand-always more
than the supply-for seed in STAN
dard categories, there are many dis
tinctly Alaskan species for which
a broad market can be developed
Mr.. Baldwin believes AS instances,
he cites Alaska's wildflowers and
giant blooms.
Added to the attraction of seed
culture is the fact that seed growing
is decidedly more profitable than
other types of farming, wherever
conditions permit it. Mr.. Baldwin
AYERS that Alaska farming has its
brightest future not in production
for food-but for seed.
Up to now, the use of Alaska
grown seed has been restricted to
the Territory, but the Department
of Agriculture established by the last
LEGISLATURE should change that pic
ture entirely, as it will make possible

 c. A. Woodruff of the Hartford War Production Board, who is chair man of the State War Manpower Priority Urgency committee, notified area WING Director Mary M. Dewey that the locally needed establish mentS have been placed in band five of the priority list. In the event of any serious emergency the estab- lishments will be reclassified for an emergency rating, 1t has been in- dicsted.
 Word of the classification came as welcome news to the locally firms which have been hard-hit by lack of labor, and which now are due for further aid from the USES.
 The firms affected by the new ruling will include: distributors of solid fuels, dairies, dry cleaners, electrical mill suppliers, food distri- butors (both retail and wholesale,) ) hotels, distributors of liqui. uel, in- dustrial cafetarias, laundries, and linen supply establishments.
 Band five is the final one in the new urgency classification, but place ment in that category will enable firms to move ahead toward the emergency classification in the event of critical shortage of help.
 It is believed special action on laundries may be forthcoming short ly, in view of their serious labor shortage and the new classification.
