The story of Pickup Girl" is
told through the medium OF a
juvenile court, where a 15-year-
old girl is given a hearing on a
sex-delinqunecy ch e. AL
though the drama is essentially
a personal disturbing one, 1t
reaches across the footlights and
compels its audience to partake
fully in all its emotions.
Miss Garner, remembered for
her flawless performance in the
film, "a Tree Grows in Brook
lyn," and numerous other film
offerings, is playing her first
major assignment on the legltl-
mate stage. When Miss Shelley
saw Peggy on the screen she
picked her for the part of Eliza
beth Collins, the unlnhlblted
adolescent who goes wrong. The
supporting cast is headed by
Frank Wilcox as the understand
ing Judge and Dorothy Peterson
as the mother.
A feature of Pickup Girl
is its humor which relieves the
tenseness of this melodrama.
The spinster court-stenographer
and the young roughneck Larry
are the cause of much laughter

Stewart and 10y Nilsson, has

Women Seek Suit Angels

A Women's Athletic Associa- tion has been organized by the sports minded women of the Valley. Although basketball is to be their principal athletic en- deavor at present, they hope to extend their activities to baseball next summer.
 Basketball this winter will not be sponsored by any local indivi- dual, a team spokesman an- nounced. Each girl on the squad will be sponsored by local mer- chant, who is expected to be re- sponsible for the purchase of her basketball suit. The sponsoring merchants advertisement will appear on the back of the suit blouse.
 Suits are a major worry of the Association at present, since last years uniforms all were lost in the fire at Bert's Drug Store.
 L. s. Stock is to be team man ager this season and June France will act as coach.
 Girls already are practicing twice weekly, and they hope to be able to schedule a game in about three weeks.

Sportsmen Want To Shoot In Rec HoIl Basement

Plans for converting the base ment of the Rec Hall into an in- door shooting range and possibly a meeting hall, were announced by the board of directors at last weeks regular meeting of the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen.
 Members of the board reported the basement had been inspected and that conversion to a range and meeting hall is feasible. Board member L. c. Stock was directed to carry the plan to the board of the Matanuska Valley Farmers Co-Operating Associa- tion for discussion and approval. He was asked to discuss arrange ments with the Coop board, and to bring facts and figures back to the Sportsmen's board, when next it meets.
 James Wilson, Coop manager, who was questioned later in the week regarding the matter, said the Coop board had reacted fa- vorably to the suggestion" but had taken no action. A commit tee was appointed to work out details with a Sportsmen's com mittee.
 Ralph Goodrich was appointed to take charge of construction work at the ski tow. It was urged that a work party be organized to install the tow in the very near future. It was suggested that high school skiers might be drafted to help.
 It was reported that game din- ner receipts had totalled $129. The balance in the Sportsmen'S treasury now stands at $893.
 The group discussed the plant ing of pheasant, deer and elk in the Valley. Secretary Bruce Gra- ham was instructed to write letter to the Alaskan head of the Fish and Wild Life Service, ask ing what the club could do to promote this type of program.
 The matter of insurance for the club was discussed at length and the secretary was directed to get information concerning types of insurance available to the organization.
 As an improvement in plan ming for future game dinners, it was suggested that next years event should be planned in the very near future. Assignments will be drawn from hat here after, and members will be given longer notice of their reSponsi- bility for the annual dinner.

CONGRESSMAN AND GENERAL VISIT VALLEY

Congressman Preston Peden Of Oklahoma and Gen. Nathan F. Twining, commander of Fort Richardson, were chief guests at last weeks Chamber of Com merce meeting. Both addressed the group briefly. Congressman Peden made fervent plea for peace, saying that Americans must come to the realization that peace is the only thing in this world which we cherish"
 General Twining expressed the Army's interest in the welfare of the Valley as in all of Alaska, and promised help whenever the Army could be of assistance in local problems.
 Both men later addressed an assembly at Palmer school, where Congressman Peden emphasized the need for the interest of youth in government of the nation and of the territory. In both meet ings, MT. Peden expressed the hope that statehood would come to the territory soon. He is one of Alaska's most wholehearted champions of statehood.
 General Twining explained something of the Army's plans for development in Alaska this winter. He said the territory was to be used as testing ground for new planes and equipment dur ing the coming winter months. He stated that the B-36, the new jet bomber B-45 and PEAS would all be tested at Ladd Field at Fairbanks this winter.
 Other Chamber guests on We'd neSGay included James Wilson, new Coop manager, and Rev. B.. J. Bingle. Reverend Bingle out lined the growing development of communities lying along the Railbelt and in the Healy and Suntrana coal mining areas. He predicted that coal resources in this region had barely been tapped.
 Don Irwin of the Agricul- tural Research Administration. reported on a series of meetings held with Kenneth KadoW, head of the Alaska Committee of the Department of the Interior. MT. Irwin explained that one of MT. KadoWs responsibilities is that of studying markets for agricul- tural products produced in the territory. It is also the committee heads job to interest capital in the development of new Alaskan industries, which in turn will ere ate greater markets for Alaskan agricultural products.

Democrat Congress did not see fit

The man who staged this one
man gang-up on the 8Oth Congress
which he called the worst" in
history because it did not go pell-
nell into every crackpOt scheme the
administration Offered-has chang
ed his tune since moving from the
Senate over to 1900 PENNSYLVANIA
Avenue.
On March 21, 1889, then Senator
Truman delivered an address be-
fore a joint session of the Missouri
Legislature on the subject of

This same man who now wants

of millions, pledges of hundreds of

police state dictator, all within Is
days, made another speech as a
Senator. On June 30, 1943 Ciust

Mr. Truman asserted:

FRANCIS CUBBAGE Dill

Wednesday morning we attended funeral
services for a class mate, who gave his all in
1943 in Italy, that we and millions more like
us might continue to enjoy the American
way of life.
Francis Cubbage Dill, during our years
in high school, was close and proven friend,
possessed of a cheerful, sunny disposition,
ne was always ready to help liven up things
bit and was more than ready and willing
to take his share of any class responsibility.
Shortly before his untimely death we re-
ceived a letter from him, in which he thank
ed us for sending him the Chronicle across
the sea. He reminisced about our school DAYS
and the good time we had on our senior
class trip in 1881, and somehow as we read
that last letter we could tell from the tenor
OF it, that he was resigned to whatever sacri-
ice he might be called upon to made. stead
fast in the knowledge that his life had so
been lived that the future beyond this mortal
coil could be faced by him without fear of
any kind
1t was a privilege to know this young
man and it is with the deepest sorrow that
we chronicle the account of his reburiaI in
the soil of the Land he gave his all to pre-
serve from tyranny's dominion.

MOSCOLU Subway Fare
Remains Stable

MOSCOW-(P)-A ride on the
Moscow subway no matter from
where to where costs seven and
One-half cents. The fare was set
some years ago and has remained
without change for a considerable
period. 1t comes to forty kOpecks
which is to say forty One-hun-
dredths of one ruble. The ruble is
pegged at $50 rubles for one Am
eriCan dollar.
Some other forms of Moscow mu-
nicipal transport are cheaper. The
street car, for instance, costs less
than four cents. To ride on a troll
ley bus one must pay according to
distance. Taxis are now on the
streets again after an absence dur
ing much of the war. They cost
about 95 cents for six-tenths of a
mile.
