Playing saxophone Is hard work
according to Bill Mccarthy, Ana
costa High student, who plays with
Buddy Garrison's band. You must
be able to take that little tin horn,
he says, and toot on it so that at
times it will put you in a dream
on some far distant shore and at
other times. make you want to hop
and jump about" 1t takes a lot of
practice and lot of heartbreaks,
he says. before you reach your goal.
when Bill was in the sixth grade
he played the xylophone. He wasn't
interested in q sax" at the time.
Then one day he decided that he
was going to have an orchestra of
his own, but that he must be able
to play something more than a
xylophone. That's when he got his
sax-a year ago.
Before the year was up he could
really do things with his new in
strument, which put him in several
bands, none of them we'll known.
Then his break came with Johnny
Whites band, with which he played
until the regular man came back.
In the middle of last summer he
went to Camp Karmac with Buddy
Garrison, with whom he has been
playing ever since.

Back in October, 1911, Amund-
sen and four comrades started on a
dash toward the South Pole. To
transport their supplies. they had
sledges pulled by Eskimo dogs.
The dogs logged along faithfully
though a few of them became weak
or sick within the first month. The
route lay across small mountains,
then over the great ice field, Axel
Heiberg glacier. Extreme care was
used to avoid falling into the
glaciers deep crevasses.
At times the temperature was low,
but it was seldom colder than 10
degrees below zero. Care had been
taken in planning the food supply,
which was made up OF biscuits,
pemmican, chocolate and milk pow
der. Yet there came time when
the men found 1t necessary to kill
some of their dogs for food.
Eighteen Of the best-working dogs
were saved for the final lap of the
Journey. The dogs had to be fed
at regular times. and toward the
end they were not content with the
amount of food. Leather articles
were kept out of their reach when
halts were made. In several cases
they tried to eat their harness
straps.
A mighty snow-and-ice field was
given the name Of Devils Glacier" !"
and it proved . dangerous place to
cross. Near the southern end of 1t
the explorers felt that they had

Indelibly stamped on my mind is
the recollection of my three-week
acquaintance, at the age of 6, with
a fisherman.
Ambling along the beach one day,
I CHANGED upon a withered old man,
mending a fishing net. His torn and
faded costume suggested poverty,
and his pipe suggested peace, but
this impression was belied by the
lines in his worn face. Fascinated,
watched his nimble fingers darting
in and out among the many folds of
mesh while he stared moodily out
at the sea, apparently unaware Of
my presence. But, suddenly, he
turned his bright eyes upon me, and
in low monotone, which somehow
held me spellbound, began to tell
Of his adventures on the high seas.
Because Of my youth, did not
understand all he said, yet ! liked
nothing better than to sit and listen.
Time and again, he would say. I'VE
pay dearly for what we get" or
I'VE get out Of life only what We
put in It,"
That was his philosophy, and I
have treasured 1t in my heart.

has been changed through his ac-
quaintance.

BUD FOSTER DIDN'T
 LIKE HIS LANDING
 UNDER FIRE AT TWO

Front t-line reporting isn't just all glory and fan-mail, according to a letter written by Wilson Bud" Eos ter, to his wife, tEe former Birdie Jensen of Juneau.
 Bud, who broadcast the Marine landings on Two lima from Admir- al Turner's flagship, wrote that he went over with the first landing to the beach, where the Japs had thousands of guns trained, and only the sheer man-power of the Marines pushed the Japs back. He said he went about b yards, then dug in and lay there for five hours before he could move, with all the shells bursting over him. He spent D-Day on the islands, and two nights in a fox -hole, and thinks he was either "just lucky, or else dug in too deep.
 Bud told of helping to take wounded Marines back, some ot whom died on the way, and of one marine who was killed just few feet from him, by Jap sniper whereupcn the dead Marines buddy burned the Jap sniper alive with a flamethrower.
 Bud said he was on the Admirafs ship for five days, and never slept at all during that time. He left Two in a jet plane that leaves the water in 10 seconds, which he says is a real thrill

INDIAN EDUCATION
 MEMORIAL TABLED

The Territorial Senate Saturday tabled House Joint Memorial No. 17, by Rep. Warren A. Taylor, which prayed for transfer of Indian Edu- cation and Relief facilities, responsi- bility and appropriations to the Territory of Alaska.
 The concensus of Senate opinion was that the Department of the h. terior might be only too willing to oblige- that all responsibility for Indian education might be turned over to the Territorial Department of Education, but accompanied by greatly-trimmed Federal appropria- tions.
