If you are one of the million
Americans planning to come this
way visiting during the summer,
take heed and prepare yourself
accordingly. Among other things,
bring along a bag, sack or what
ever they call it at you'd home.
filled with pennies. (Folks in
Washington used to have their
penny bags to take out playing
Po-ke-no, remember? Well, a SIM
liar bak will be very useful this
summer if you plan to see New
York.
Why, Well, let's get down to
cases and don't get me wrong,
there's no place like New York,
but bus fares are seven cents on
some lines, by summer on other
lines fares will be eight cents and
IL cents-so pick your lines and
look sharp for some coin boxes
do not take pennies, others take
everything. Transfers? Some bus
lines issue transfers for free, 9TH
ers for two cents each-so make
sure you read the signs on the
buses when you climb aboard. And
if you don't have your pennies
ready-always give the operator
a dollar bill-he loves to make
change for them!
Then, in the subway, there is no
more nickel fare-but a thin dime
and you don't have to pay the
dime to get out of the subway like
lots of folks thought they had to
do. Nope, they'll fet you out free
if you can find your way out.
Pennies are also very useful in
paying sales taxes-I ran into
some of that funny tax business
down in Alabama once upon a
time-when the store keeper gave
YOU 10 mills for a penny and you
paid out these new-pennies-
spending a half a buck on some
stuff costs you a penny extra
and it runs up into change when
you add it all up.
Going to the stadium to see a
game? Of course, you are. Well,
YOU know the prices there, 60c
in the bleachers and a buck and
a quarter for general admission
And the theater tickets r a wee
bit up too.
Even one of our oldest hotels
here-famous by a Count 1as1e
number called Jumping at the
O know where" has added a
dome to its usual price. For in
stance, a room is $2.10-(shoot,
you're faded) I don't know why.
And when you dine at Mrs.
Frasiers, which you just have to
do or lese you haven't Toasted in
New York, pennies again are add
ed to the check for tax and stuff
like that-so don't forget your
bag of pennies and if you don't
know where you are headed or
how to get there, don't ask that

GRIPPING DRAMA
 NOW ON SCREEN
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Warner Bros. have assembled one of their slickest casts tor their limitation of the celebrated Will kie Collins mystery classic, The Woman in White" now at the 20th Century Theatre.
 Eleanor Parker, Alexis Smith, Sydney Greenstreet and Gig Young top the bright cast.
 "The Woman in White is gen. orally considered the ace of all thrillers, as it paved the way for modern "whodunits" way back over a hundred years ago when it was penned. Several story threads are worked into the elaborate plot, all coming together in a single line at the end when the black spell is killed forever over Limmeridge House. There is generous outlay Of hidden passages, fleeting figures, poison, daggers and unbalanced folk around, all of which is con cocted in suspenseful fashion.

INGRID BERGMAN, CHARLES BOYER IN
 BILL AT CAPITOL

The eagerly awaited film adapted from Erich Maria Remarque's famous best-seller, Arch of Triumph" has arrived on the screen of the Capitol Theatre with the in comparable Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer superb in co-starring loles.
 After watching this stirring pie ture unfold, with all the dramatic intensity, vivid excitement and gripping romance of the book ac- centuated on celluloid, it is easy to understand why film audiences have been looking forward so long to this occasion.
 In the shadow of the famous Arch we meet refugees from many lands overrun by dictators. Among them are Ravic, great surgeon from Austria, who, because he has entered Paris without a passport, earns his living by performing so- called ghost" operations. Charles Boyer turns in a remarkable per- formance as the disillusioned, philo- sophical Ravic.
 Opposite him, Ingrid Bergman is cast as Joan Madou, an Italian girl who earns a precarious living as night club chanteuse and film bit player Frightened of life as it then existed in the strange, secret heart of the City of Light on the very eve of it's greatest degradation, it is to Ravic that she turns for love, for love, for happiness.

NEWS ITEMS
 FROM SITkA
Special Correspondence)

SITKA, Alaska, Dec. 4-The first School Band concert under the di- rection of musical director Walter Strickland was given at the High School Gym Thursday evening and drew critical audience, interested to compare what was being done now with the bands past fine per- formance under T. F. Jones.
 Comments were entirely favorable though comparison was hardly fair under the circumstances. MT. Birke- land has had less than three months to prepare his program and too many band members were mis- sing-either with humps or through the funk list.
 Especially enjoyed were the se- lections from the Persian Market in which Fenton Dennis and Ma tasha Calvin gave fine perform ances with their solos.
 General opinion seemed to be that by the end of the year the band, in which Sitkans take justi- liable pride, will be finer than ever.
 The choral numbers were ex- cellent but seemed bit thin for lack of strong bass section. How ever, there are many fine, clear voices with a noticeable improve ment in the soprano section.
 Decorations for the Senior Ball last night were lovely and suitable flor the Christmas season. A canopy of Christmas tree icicles was sus- pended on wires crisscrossing from the balcony and small decorated pine trees were placed in the middle of the hall and round the sides.
 Adults will give a shout of joy when the school fashion of dancing in almost complete darkness passes , To be sure the dim-out is mort flattering to us parents but we at- tend school dances for the sole pleasure of seeing our teen-agers in all their breath-taking glamour.
 Sitkans are pleased to learn that Dave Ramsay is being transferred to Sitka as Alaska Steamship Com pany agent and will move here with his family shortly. MT. Ram say is expected to arrive this week to be joined by his wife and child ren a few days before Christmas. They will take the Jack Conway house for week, then move to the Miss L. M. Mills house now occu- pied by the Fred Arnolds.
 MT. Ramsay became wellknown in Sitka during his years as purser on the Estebeth.
 MT. and Mrs. Ben Forbes have bought the Steelcraft pleasure cruiser from Mrs. w. c. Charteris and are planning many interesting improvements on the craft to les sen vibration and noise as well as adding to its comfort.
 Mr. and Mrs. George Rohrer have bought the Charteris house located below the cannery and plan to get moved into it in time for the Christmas holidays.
 Dr. Isaac Knoll is moving this weekend to his new offices m the downstairs converted apartment m the Cushing Building opposite the Cathedral. The Cushings have moved to the newly finished top floor apartment in the same build ing.
 MT and Mrs. Al Richter have bought the Al Johnson home on B Street. Construction on the house was completed this year and was occupied for only few months by the Johnsons who plan to leave for the States.

out that people are more widely
