 The story is comedy-filled mix ture of night clubs, deserted houses, bank robbers, defense plants, bands and pretty girls, all thrown togeth- CT in sparkling bit of unalloyed The climax proves as great a surprise to the actors as it does to the audience.

FOR DISCHARGED ALAsKANs

Delegate Bartlett has requested Secretary of War Patterson to consider revision of Army regula- tions as they concern travel pay for discharged Alaska residents.
 Many complaints have been re- ceived by Delegate Bartlett from discharged veterans telling of the financial hardships undergone to meet expenses of travelling from the separation center at Fort Rich ardson to their homes in the Terri tory. Under Army regulations, a discharged veteran is allowed five cents a mile for travel home. As Delegate Bartlett pointed out to Secretary Patterson, travel on the Alaska Railroad is six cents a mile, plus Is per cent tax, and many residents upon discharge are re- quired to fly home as the only means of transportation, the cost of which is as high as Is to 20 cents mile.

vETERAN-MADE RUGS RECEIVED HERE BY
 LEGION AUXILIARY

American Legion Auxiliary mem ters Thursday night had the pleas ure of viewing some of the results of the Rags for Rugs" collection which they made during the spring when rags were collected and sent to the Veterans Hospital at American Lake, Wash.
 At the same time, orders were sent by the Auxiliary Unit for rugs as soon as they were available, and twelve have just been received and were on display at last nights meet ing As soon as possible, some of them will be displayed downtown, in response to inquiries of many who are interested in the project.
 The Gift for Tanks Who Gave" which was another Auxiliary spon- sored project, has met with very response, Mrs. Homer Nordling reported, and the packages will be sent, so far as possible, for distribution among local service men or veterans who are hospitaliz- ed.
 The next meeting of the Auxil- iary will be the social meeting De- cember IS, at which time each member is asked to bring as a guest a friend who is eligible for mem bership in the Auxiliary.
 The announcement was made re- garding the Community Toy Center, and the request was made that as many as possible assist with the wrapping and sorting of gifts at the Dugout on the days set for that purpose. Plans were also made for taking part in the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation clothing drive in January.

GEoPHYsICAL INSTITUTE

Delegate Bartlett has introduced an amendatory bill, replacing one offered in July of this year, au- thorizing an appropriation of $1,- 100000 for the establishment of 6 geophysical institute at the Uni versity of Alaska.
 The facilities of the institute would be extended to qualified members of federal bureaus en- gagged in field work in Alaska which may come within the prov ince of geophysics. The university would furnish heat, light, water, electric power and custodial ser vice and would staff the institute with a director, appointed by the regents of the university upon the recommendation of the president of the university and with the ap- proval of the president of the Ma tional Academy of Sciences; a l- brarian and a secretary
 The purpose of the bill is to continue in the postwar period geo. physical research in the Arctic which has been carried on since l941 by the War and Navy De- partments, the Federal Communi- cations Commission, the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Weather Bu- reau and other agencies. It is be- lieved that geophysical exploration can lead to increases in supplies and reserves of important minerals and can furnish information of direct value, both for military and military projects.

IDENTIFY a man Of siren th-one of the primal
requisites for the Speakership.
The contest with George Uzzell, the other
candidate, was hard fought, but North Caro-

behind them working together until the time
for the next round comes. The legislature will
need lot of working together. Diversity of
aims, interests and goals will be felt.
For state that spreads long and narrow

amazing how North Carolinians have worked

Persistence Pays

Commentator of the City council and other
municipal officials for their persistent efforts
to bring about realization of the 100000 in
Generator project is in order.
The task dates back to December, 1941,
when sale of bonds to finance the undertaking
was approved by the electorate. Since then
It's been rocky road, with many setbacks
such as the inavalability of materials, pro-
tracted negotiations with the War Produc-
ton Board for a priority and difficulties IN
awarding contract. All this has been cleared,
due to the insistent efforts of the council
and erection of the incinerator is scheduled
to be started shortly.
In taking care in awarding contract to furn-
ish all materials and supervision of labor, the
council saved approximately $4,000 in keep
ing the total cost in the neighborhood of $780,
00O
The project is one of the most important
handled by the present local administration.
A modern incinerator, one that will be operat
ed without odor, waste or dust, is the base
on which any community maintains its over
all program OF cleanliness. Without it, you
may have the finest collection system, a Won
derful public spirit Of cooperation, but all
will come to practically naught. The founda~
ton simply isn't there. Therefore, determina-
ton Of the councilmen and their aides in CIV
ing Wilmington an incinerator that will not
only meet the city's present needs but with
ample capacity for future city expansion is
certainly deserving Of praise
