UGLY LANGUAGE
SIREN
UNITY

THE which belches forth from the mouths
least, and the authorities, particularly the Police, should find a
way to curb it, if not wipe it out altogether. 1t is a shocking
commentary on the decency of this place that tourists and citi
zenS should walk the streets and have their ear drums bonn
barded with little else but the fouIest and most distasteful
language imaginable, the great portion of which is imprint
able. Youngsters, hanging around THE stree corners, or at pub
lie games, or even in buildings where people are gathered to
enjoy a program Of some kind will take pleasure is attracting
attention by shouting at each other from one side of the place
ito another. Unfortunately, the public is often too lax, and in
stead OF howning upon the type of behavior, either smokers
or remains silent, giving in effect its consent.
IF THESE YOUNG people were ever to realize that the
use of this type of language shows that they know nothing or
little else, or that it reflects a sort of inferiority complex, they
would qquicky avoid the use of it. This type of behavior to
which some people turn when they cannot attract attention in
any other way. Then, too, ii ii reflection on the type Of train
ing which was given earlier, or not given. But whatever the
public is SO mcaled for, and leaves such unfavorabIe impress
sion that every effort should be made to wipe it away.
WE CALL UPON the Police, and the other authorities,
all adults and THE community as a whole to pitch in and help
correct this situation. It is not ncurable. 1t is not of the sort
which requires extensive and about attacks, for we are con-
vnced that once the youth are made to realize the folly Of it
all, they will respond. All, then, that is necessary is the coop
Grafton OF one and all in calling a halt, and the matter will be
well in hand. Let us all work towards that end.

.SCHApIR0 BENEFIT
 CONCERT IS SET FOR 8 O'CLOCK TONIGHT

With the Maxim Schapiro piano benefit concert scheduled to start on the stroke of o'clock tonight, both the box office and the 20th Century Theatre auditorium will be open at ' pm, it was an- nounced today.
 This will give Juneauites ample opportunity to find the seats of their choice by going early. Tick cts, at $1 plus tax for any seat in the theatre, will be available at the box office an hour before the pro- gram begins.
 Although the concert will open earlier than is customary, such is the advance interest in the com munity-sponsored event that Pian- st Schapiro may te besieged for request encores, and the crowd flow out to the sidewalk at about the usual time.
 Tonight's big event grew from a remark by the pianist after his October 13 concert, and his later offer to give his time and talents toward the Community Pia n o Fund.
 Besides the Bach-Tauslg "Tocca- ta and Fugue in D Minor" which provided memorable music fo1 Walt Disney's Fantasia" Schapiro will play major Chopin work in his first group. In observance of the Chopin death centennial this month, the famed pianist will play his B Minor Sonata-"the big one, as Schapiro characterizes it.
 Some modern and amusing num- Eers are programmed later in the concert, which will close with the brilliant, rhythmic Spanish Rhap- sody" by Liszt.
 Those wishing to contribute to the fund for concert grand pi- ano. further than the token price of a ticket, may leave checks made out to the Community Piano Fund with Ernest Ehler at the Baranof Hotel. The goal is $2,500. From here, Schapiro will go to Vancouver, BIG, and San Fran cisco for appearances as sololst with symphony orchestras.

SONIA HENIE IS
 SKATING STAR AT
 CAPITOL THEATRE

"The Countess of Monte Cristo,' latest and most entertaining of Hollywood's lice spectacle" pie lures, is the feature at the Capitol Theatre. Sonia Henie has the star ring role and is supported by such popular favorites as Olga San Juan, Dorothy Hart, Michael Kir- by, Arthur Preacher and Freddie Trenkler.
 The big skating numbers, led by Miss Henie, are among the finest ever made by her in a film. They indicate that Sonia is as good or perhaps even better than she has ever been on the ice, although her skating career dates back to her girlhood. The production is a rich one, replete with dazzling sets and costumes.
 The story deals with two adven- turous girls in Oslo, Norway, who get chance to play in a film being made there and who, becom- ing irked when scolded by the film director, run off with the movie company's swanky car and elegant fur coats.
 Checking into a famous resort hotel, Sonia poses as the Countess of Monte Cristo, no less. and Miss San Juan as her maid, after which series of breath taking and rit tickling events ensue which would ensnare the two girls in horriflo web of consequences if Sonia, aid ed by the handsome Kirby, did not get her skates on and save the day by her skill on the blades.

MCKINLEY FAMILY HAS SUPER TOUR
 OF LIMITED STATES

A vacation trip rated super should keep the Jerry Mckinley family supplied with the most pleasant of memories all winter long. On their recent two-month motor tour around the United States, the five Juneauites gained a first-hand knowledge of their country-rare even for persons llv- ing in the states.
 Visiting the East and South fof the first time were MT and Mrs. Mckinley and their three daugh- ters, Irene, 16; Connie, 12, and Janice, 3. They were lucky, too not a sign of car trouble in the entire two months. The family re- turned to Juneau the middle of October.
 In the new Studebaker on which they took delivery in Seattle, the Juneauites drove East via Yellow stone National Park to Chicago. In South Bend, Ind, they went through the Studebaker factory. 7
 With one of their leisurely stops at Niagara Falls, the family went on to New York City, for a wonder ful week of stage shows and sight seeing in Manhattan. (While the rest of the family toured Radio City, Jerry watched the Giants and Dodgers by televisiono a

ed in Washington" said L. L.

the best service, Highland said.
All of these agencies have some
