CORRECTION

In order to correct an erroneous impression created by the report of the testimony given before the House of Representatives by Dr. C.. Earl Albrecht, Territorial Commis- sioner of Health, regarding the need for increased facilities for combat ing tuberculosis, Dr. Albrecht says that at no time during the testi- mony did he refer to the Alaska Equal Rights Act
 When I testified that the Health Department cannot discriminate as between whites and Natives, l was referring to the Tuberculosis Con- trol Act, passed in l946," Dr. AL brecht said.
 This Act states that the Health Department shall pay the costs of care and incidental expenses for resident Alaskans either in whole or in part, depending on the ability of respective patients to pay, and thus makes no distinction as to race or color.

JUNEAU PICTURES MAKE PRONOUNCED HIT IN NEW YORK
Bess Vim Returns from Trip-Has New Ideas to
 Aid TB Patients

Mrs. Bess Vim, Executive Secre- tary of the Alaska Tuberculosis Association, returned on the Prin- cess Norah after a months combin- ed business and vacation trip to the states.
 Travelling most of the way by air, Mrs. Vim briefly visited her daughter, Miss Elizabeth Vim, a senior at Reed College in Portland and then continued on her way to a 3-day convention of secretaries, held in Memphis, Tennessee. While in the southern city, the weather bur eau gave warning of an approach ing cyclone, which fortunately miss ed the city but laid low portion of the nearby 'Cuntry. At any rate, Mrs. Whn states, the ~iid although not icy. was quitf squal to our worst Taku.
 Having been invited by the Ma tional Tuberculosis Association to show the nursing film, taken locally in kodachrome slides, at the Ma tional office in New York City, Mrs Vim next flew to the metropolis where she says, the pictures were given the highest praise. Dr. Ken dall Emerson, managing director ot the National Association. stated that he highly commended the way in which the local Association had attempted to solve it's own prob- lens and that he hoped there would be other pictures in the future.
 q was very glad to have been given tfe opportunity of conferring with the national leaders" states Mrs. Vim. During the three years that I have held the posi- ton of secretary. many problems have arisen that seemed impossible to settle by correspondence. l cer- tainly appreciated the opportunity of talking matters over with per sons experienced in the work"
 While in the south, Mrs. Vim visited numerous hospitals and re- mobilization centers and has re- turned with many ideas which she hopes will prove of benefit to Alas ka's tuberculosis patients. And while on the subject, Mrs. Winn says that the Christmas Seal sale has certainly exceeded expectations and that she wants to take this opportunity of thanking all of the many contributors for their gen. erosity and faith in the local Alas ka Associations program.

 FEATURED FILM
 AT 2OTH CENTURY

Che of the gayest screen offer ings in years is The Princess and the Pirate Samuel Goldwyn's latest Technicolor production for RKO Radio release, which is at the 20th Century Theatre with Bob Hope starred and the new discov- cry, Virginia Mayo, in the hero inc role.
 Laid in the middle of the 18th Century, the sparkling plot deals with the hilarious adventures of Sylvester the Great, cautious ac- tor who, enroute to tke West h. dies, is captured along with the beautiful Princess Margaret by a band led by The Hook, the most ferocious pirate of the Spanish Main in sea fight which is a film spectacle classic.
 Through a ruse Sylvester escapes The Hooks initial vengeance, and by the connivance of Featherhead, a disloyal member of the band, Sylvester and Margaret get away to a pirate retreat on the island of Casaroughe where further perils be- fall them and both are imprisoned by the rascally Governor.
 How the trembling Sylvester and Featherhead release Margaret from durance vile and Sylvester, disguls- ing himself as The Hook, at tempts to take command of the buccaneer vessel, brings about the mad climax of the laughter-laden film with it's cleverly y-contriyed sur prise ending

 Pat O'Brien has been cast in the leading role as Patrick Nevl, an adventurer with an eye for a well-turned ankle, and he is said to be more debonair than ever. A gang of international crooks and two glamorous women looking for love lead him a merry chase against the intriguing background of Mexico City!
 Sharing top honors with Pat is Ruth Warrick as Agnes Stuart, a wisecracking girl cciumnist from the states who knows all the ans- wors. This promises to hc an ex- citing and interesting portrayal, since Mss Warrick has usually heen cast in Q much more demure type of role.

BOYS AT BARROW
 ORIGINATE NEW ICE POOL

UhlGlNAIE NEW lCE ROUI
 FAIRBANKS (Special) On the two largest rivers the Tanana and Yukon, annual guessing con tests are staged at one buck a guess. And each year the prizes in coin of the realm increase in value The famed Nenana pool this year netted some $l4O,000, breaking all previous records.
 But way up north there is ice ttat never breaks up, never di ,- appears. Ice that has been there for more than 100000 years . trillons of tons of it.
 That is the polar ice pack. It moves, yes, floes break off, gre II segments of the mass float nere and there, but the main body moves resistlessly as activated by wind and tide. (There's not much Ot the latterJ.
 Last year some of the lads who are living in camps on the Nays Petroleum Reserve No. 3, on the Arctic coast near Pt. Barrow con ceived the idea of having a rl. Barrow Ice Pool, so it came into being.
 It is the last of the years ier contests. Sale of tickets last year was limited to the Barrow area, due to the fact that the idea was not born until too late to get dis tribution to other sections It's different this year. Tickets are on sale in almost every community in the Territory.
 Advance reports say that the pool is proving popular. Sales this month totaled several thousani dollars, and ssnce the Nenana p ol ' as awarded, the rate of sale mas tripled Oliver Morris, managi lg the Pt. Barrow classic, predicts the total will reach $5O,000 by June i when sales will be closed.
 The polar pack usually moves away from the shore between July and the middle of the month. Since 1886, it has only moved out two times in June, the earliest be- ing June 27, 1946. The latest on record is July 16, 1886. Those who have been at Barorw recently say that old-timers up there predict a late "break-up." But, as in the c. SC of most of the oldtimers a. round Nenana and Fairbanks when they guess the Nenana breakup, they, too, may be in error.
