Wen-digger's Daughter q
Delightfully."- goy comedy
BY MARJORIE MILTON

Those of us who have long held
a nostalgia affection for "The
Bakers Wife" will welcome the
robust humor of THE Well-dig-
gers Daughter, now at the
World Playhouse.
Once again director Marcel
Pagnol and actor Raimu have
combined their superb talents to
bring us delightfully."- gay come
dy. Beside it's hearty, vigorous
ribaldry, the pale innuendoes and
sly evasions of American films
seem Grass and vulgar.
The simple and familiar plot
seduction and illegitimacy is
developed with a freshness and
complexity AS in THE Bakers
Wife, there is a subtly poignant
overtone to the laughter which is
inherent in a fundamentally ira
gic situation.
A YOUNG French villager finds
his honorable intentions to mar
~ the girl" thwarted when he is
suddenly called into the Army.
The well-digger, a man of
pride and family honor, is stun,
ned when his daughter reveals
her plight and he reacts i'm the
traditional manner.
But the appearance of a grand
son whose interest in the old
mans well is considerable, soon
nelts the stony heart. Raimu,
one of the few great actors the
screen has yet produced, is splen-
did in this role and Fernandez,
Charpin and Josette Day all turn
in fine characterizations.
THIS MOVIE, legitimately..
billed for adults only, has none
of the offensiveness frequently
associated with such films. It's
healthy honesty and rich sophis-
tication are combined with a ten
der and affectionate sympathy
for human frailty.
We hope = but only faintly!-
that Hollywood will take a les
son from it.

From Juneau to Hoo- rah, for instance, distance Of 45 miles, the rate will be lowered from $50 to 75 cents. These figures are for a three minute day call, exclu- sive of the 25 percent federal tax. Tn addition. the night, Sunday and holiday rates are reduced approxi- mately 15 percent.
 These new rates will allow each individual to buy considerably more communication service at a lower cost than was heretofore possible.
 Alaskans are invited to contact their local ACS offices for further information on the various types of service available via ACS facil- lties.

days earlier to give greater pro- : lection to the anticipated small runs of pink salmon.
 The nswly-surveysd open areas for four traps have been re-des- cribed, but the location of the traps will not be changed. To protect IDungeness carbs in these waters, three new restrictions were intro duced identical with those in eff feet in nearby Prince William Sound.
 In Kodiak Area In the Kodiak area, no additional restrictions were imposed, although if the runs of salmon between Cape Trinity and Narrow Point, and in the vicinity of Afognak Island, are even smaller than an- ticipated, curtailment may be made in the field
 Otherwise in the Kodiak area, the regulation limiting gill nets to maximum mesh of 5l4 inches was deleted pending further study, and restrictions to purse seines off the Karluk reservation were modified to correspond with those of the l946 fishing season.
 For administrative purposes, the new regulations divided the Alaska Peninsula into five districts. Max imum and minimum depths of l75 and 12o meshes were prescribed for beach seines and a catch limit of 70o,000 red salmon was placed upon the Port Mcller district.
 In Bristol Bay , In anticipation of good run of red salmon in Bristol Bay, regu- lations were relaxed to provide fishing from June 30 to July 23 except in the Ugashik district, where it will be from June 30 to July 30 The weekly closed period was reduced from 72 to 60 hours, and the requirement of a maximum mesh of 5l4 inches was deleted. { Under new regulations each per init holder must install and oper- ate his trap at the specified site. Each trap operator must file mo- i tice with the regional director of the Fish and Wildlife Service be- j, fore February 1.-two months earl fer than in 1946-that he has ob- tained or applied for a War Depart ment permit

RATE REDUCTION FOR MESSAGES E ANNOUNCED BY AC5

Additional reductions in ACS tel egraph message rates within Alas ka and from the U s. to Alaska will go into effect on February l, the Alaska Communication System Headquarters in Seattle announces. These rate reductions are the re- suit of an extensive and thorough study of the whole ACS telegraph and telephone rate structure made at the headquarters in Seattle dur ing the past four months. They re- fleet the increased traffic develop ing over certain main line circuits when considered in conjunction with present day maintenance and operating costs. They also elimin- ate certain inconsistencies in rates developed over the past several years.
 The new rates represent an av- craze savings of approximately 20 percent over the whole area of AL aska. It is stressed that the 20 per- cent is the average and does not affect all localities equally The rates being reduced affect directly approximately 25 of the larger AL askan towns and communities and indirectly more than l0c small communities whose messages pass through the larger ACS communi- cation centers.
 Start Rate Reduction
 These new reduced rates, with their resulting economic benefits to Alaskans, represent the third rate reduction to be put into ef- feet by ACS in the last four months. The approximately 30 per- cent reduction of telephone charg- es on the submarine cable circuit between Juneau, Haines and Skag- way on November 27. l946, was the first rate reduction to be placed in effect since the war. A reduc- tion of about 25 percent in the telegraph rates from Anchorage, Fairbanks and Kodiak to Seattle

on December l was the second rate reduction made
 The new Anchorage to Juneau rate is 70 cents. which represents reduction of more than 50 per- cent from the old rate of s1.50 The list of new reduced telegraph rates is too long to give completely but a partial list is quoted below, first figures old rate, and second figures new rate:
 Anchorage-Juneau $1.50, 70 cents. Anchorage -Ketchikan $l.50, $1: An chorage- Fairbanks 70 cents, 50 cents. Anchorage Nome S1.5O, TO cents; Fairbanks s-Ketchikan S1.56, S1.
 These figures are for ten word straight telegram and do not in- clude the twenty percent fed ersl tax. A complete list of the new rates may be obtained from any ACS station.
 Col. T. J. Fully, Commanding Officer of ACS, pointed out that traffic has increased appreciably in the past few months over cer- tain ACS circuits which has a de- finite bearing on the rate struc- ture. This general increase in traf- fic is partially due to the traffic on the new submarine telephone circuits which have been opened recently between Ketchikan and Metlakatla, Petersburg and Wran- eell, and between Juneau, Skagway and Haines as well as the connec- tion of these last three cities to the Fairbanks -Anchorage-Seward area by means of the Alcan telephone and telegraph line. Providing nego- tiations now underway are success ful, it is anticipated that next spring service via the Alcan line will be extended to the U. S., there by making a complete wire tele- phone circuit to the states avail able to the Alaskans.

Contests for Model Planes
BY HOWARD P BAILEY
BY HOWARD ?. BAILEY

THE BUILDING and flying of model air
craft have long since left the realm of
toyland to become a major sporting event.
with an understanding of aerodynamics a
requisite for success.
Model planes which circle at controlled
heights at more than 100 miles an hour, and
others which are taken aloft to become free
gllderS for 10 minutes or longer, are COM
mon in most of todays meets
The participants too, have progressed
from the days when model flying was al
most exclusively the field of children, who
assembled their little dime-store models
and sent them for very brief flights powered
by twisted rubber bands. At last years First
National Model Air Meet at Hybla Valley
Airport, surprisingly large number of
Army and Navy officers were among the
competitors
Last years meet brought entrants from
as far south as Atlanta, as far west as St.
Louis and as far north as Bangor, Me. This
years contest, to be held July 20 at the
same field. is expected to draw even more
entrants from other parts of the country
Most spectacular of the events, always,
is the control line contest. The planes,
powered with gasoline motors costing as
much as $35 each. operate within 70-foot
circle. The operator stands in the center
and holds hand-grip from which two
piano wires extend to the elevators of the
plane. The motor is started by an assistant
stationed outside the circle. The plane runs
around the circle until it gains sufficient
speed for a takeoff. at which time the oper-
ator. by means of the wires adjusts the
elevators and the craft becomes airborne
AS 1t roars around the circle. the oper-
ator controls the elevation. keeping the
plane below the maximum permitted alti-
tude. which is indicated by marks on the
pylons placed around the circle. When he
Is ready, he signals the timer, who clocks
the speed for three laps. 1t is not uncom-
mon to record a speed of lis miles per hour.
Every precaution Is taken to prevent
the plane from breaking loose and endan-
gering the spectators. but occasionally a
mishap occurs. Last year, plane clocked

at ITO miles an hour broke loose and
smashed itself to bits against a storage
battery truck
Operators of the free flight planes must
be especially skillful. They must not only
design and build a plane which has max
imum gliding capacity. but they must know
wind currents and how to take advantage
OF them The motors are set to run usually
for Is seconds which Is ample to take
well-designed plane up to where favor
able thermal is encountered. From then on,
the success of the flight depends on the
vagaries of the wind and the eyes Of the
timers
The timer must make certain that the
motor does not run longer than the per-
mitted maximum and must rule the fight
concluded when the plane disappears from
view to the naked eye even though it later
may reappear
One operator missed the national rec
ord by small margin last year because, as
his plane dwindled to speck, five buzzards
found the same air current and the timer
could not distinguish the plane from the
birds. AS long as he could see six spots, he
ruled the flight continuing, but when one
speck disappeared he could not be certain it
was not the plane and he stopped his
watch. The plane was found several days
later considerable distance below Mount
Vernon.
One new model, jet-type, was tried
out last year but the operator could not get
it off the ground.
This years Second National Model Air
Meet will have four classihcations with
three sub b-classifcations in each There will
be the control line. gasoline powered glid-
ers. rubberband powered gliders and hand
launched gliders. The sub-classifications
will be based on age. Girls and young
women are eligible and several outstanding
feminine competitors plan to register.
The meet is sponsored in association
between the National Airport Club, The
Evening Star and the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, who have undertaken the promotion
of model aeronautics as a national project.
The first flights are to start at 9 am.

Crew Members Put Out B-29 Fire

SPOKANE, (P) - A B-29 with three engines on fire crash landed in field and broke into three pieces near Medical Lake, Wash, last night and all but 10 crew members escaped serious injury.
 The Superfort was from the Spokane army air field and had just taken off on long-range navigational flight. The engine fires were extinguished by crew members before Medical Lake firemen arrived on the scene.
 Fred Hauer, a rancher living nearby, said he was told the plane bounced into the air four times as it swept over the ground and once sailed over a country road in the vicinity.
 Two crew members were treated for minor facial cuts and bruises.
