TOURIST INFORMATION BOOTH OPENS DOORS
 IN AIRLlMES OFFICE

Chances are Ralph Wright will answer more questions this summer than anyone in Juneau. But Wright went mind giving out answers, for answering queries from tourists will be his job for the summer.
 He is attendant for the Juneau Chamber of Commerce Tourist In- formation Booth which opened its doors this week in the Alaska Coastal Airlines office in the Baranof Hotel.
 He will welcome and assist Alaska visitors with their travelling prob lens, giving out information on special short trips and sightseeing tours in the area.
 AS an added service Wright is preparing listing of all boats available for charter service. He hopes to make the information available for local residents as well as tourists.
 Salmon fishing, trips over the ice cap, plane and boat charter trips, Taku Lodge. hunting trips, are all on the promotion list for summer tourists.
 Visitors to Juneau will also be able to learn general information on the Territory and the surround s~~<x booth where Wright will have his- torical data on the Gold Rush" days, native tribes and their cus- toms.

pR0p0SED CALENDAR, CIVIC EVENTS, MAY
 NOW BE DROPPED

Unless more local organizations show indications of cooperating with the idea, plans for community civic events calendar of the Cas- tineau Channel area will be drop ped soon, it was stated today by Bob Druxman, local public relations council
 He has been attempting to con- pile and organize this needed civic enterprise for the past four months without expense to anyone but him. self. If completed, it would make complete calendar of all local events available to any interested persons so that conflict between various local activities, may be avoidable as much as possible.
 Letters were sent out three weeks ago to 240 groups requesting definite information. So far, almost 100 have failed to respond. Druxman says that he will set June 25 as the deadline for receiving answers to these letters. If all organizations have not joined in the plan by that time, he will abandon the idea.
 He pointed out that it has already helped several organizations in making their own plans even though the calendar is only par tially completed. He will not, how ever, attempt to make it perman- ent feature unless everyone cooper ates because it would not be accur- ate without full information.

 On June IA the nation will ob- serve Flag Day. the anniversary of the adoption by the Continental Congress, June IA, TIT, of the Stars and Stripes as the emblem of the United States. 2
 Since the first Congress resolved that the flag of the United States be 13 stripes alternate red and white and that the Union be 13 white stars in a field of blue, many stars, representing the states, have been added to the field of blue. Knocking at the door of admission to join that great cluster of State hood stars is the Territory ot Alaska, anxious and ready to be accepted at full parity, as with ether Americans we join on this Flag Day in pledging anew Francis Bellamy's immortal words:

''BI5Hop's WIFE" ;. FEATURE TONIGHT,
 CAPITOL THEATRE

Events attending the result of clergyman's prayer form the enter taining action in Samuel Gold wyns latest production for RKO Radio release, The Bishops Wife," which co-stars Cary Grant. Loretta Young and David Niven. This fea- ture is at the Capital Theatre for this weekend, starting tonight.
 Absorbed in the financial respon- abilities of his office, young Protestant bishop in a mid-Western city discovers he is rapidly drift ing out of the heart of his wife, as well as losing touch with all his old friends. But when he prays for divine guidance to help him out of his difficulties, he is astonished to have mysterious gentleman one Dudley, appear and calmly an- nounce that he is an assistant sent to straighten out the Bishops troubles.
 Ignoring the clergymans pro- tests against stranger meddling in his private affairs, Dudley sets to work. He quickly reawakens the wife's love for her husband, settles the money troubles regarding a new cathedral, and brings peace and harmony to the household in a genial and masterful way.
 Monty Woolley is featured, with James Gleason, Gladys Cooper, Elsa Lanchester and The Mitchell Boy-choir in added support.

Norman Fjeldhelm, who has been working on the street paw ing job, has suggested that Alaska Way be renamed His selection: Whisky Way.
 He gives.tw reasons for his choice: the unusual curve of the street itself as it swings in and out past Dads Barber Shop, and the possibilities, good or bad, it offers an inebriate to weave back and forth with no effort at all, just following the line of the road.
 Gold nuggets from Alaska were literally showered upon Elks at tending the recent convention in Cleveland. Max La Lande, local exalted ruler, and Osky Weeda of Anchorage, tossed nuggets TO the crowds and told them That's what we have in Alaska"
 The secret of their "mine":: Just before leaving for the con- vention, they discovered that a melted mixture of sand and cop- CT. when hardened, would re- semble nuggets to perfection.

Marie Just Plays Dumbness
Miss Wilson's Really Smart Girl
and Wild With Energy
By Howard c. Heyn

. In every medium in which she
works, Miss Wilson Is supposed to
be blank faced and brainless.
She's the dumb secretary on the
radio show. MY Friend Irma," and

broadcast. now being filmed. For
years she has been the fixture and
foil on Ken Murray's stage show.
"Blackouts."
Actually, she's sharp as q tack.
But one Of her principal assets
and her chief dramatic device-is
her ability to look stupid. This
expression, which drops like q
mask when she wills it. is incredi-
bly, convincing. Her last picture,
two years ago, was Bel Ami" and
it is a long time since Warner
Bros. starred her, yet she is one
of the most successful performers
in Hollywood.
Sleep is a luxury. She can do
without it almost indefinitely. yet
she catnaps at every chance. II
there's q bed on an unused movie
set, you'll usually find Marie
stretched out on it. Most remark
able about this schedule is her
good humor: she Is never too tired
to chat or to be party to q set
side gag.
How does she do it? Well, all
she'll confess to is the two vitamin
tablets. None of the other vitamin-
takers will believe her. Of course.
She does hint at one other
thing. when I'm through at
night I don't go night-clubbing.
I'm always hungry. but I go home.

One of her thousand and one
tasks as technical director was to
adjust all the modern American
electrical equipment in the show
so it would work with the ancient
electrical fixtures of the theater
In addition, she had to fit the
American-built settings into the

they could make quick changes of
