Winter Bird Feeding
Program Is Popular


Songbird feeding during the win
ter season is more popular than
ever in the Bluffton district this
year, and free grain distributed at
The Bluffton News office is eagerly
sought by residents of the area.
Continuing a program inaugural
ed several years ago, five-pound
sacks of cracked feed are being dis
tributed for use in feeding birds.
Any sheltered spot near home or
other building will serve as an ade-
quate feeding station, it was point
ed out.
Ear corn for the project Is pro-
vided by the State Conservation dl-
vision through Donald Range, Al
len county game protector. Inc
corn is exchanged at the Master
Feed Mill for a mixture of cracked
corn and screenings. Sacks are pro-
vided by the Community market
and sacking is done by Boy Scouts.
Wildlife feeding also is included
in the program for which 300 bush
els of corn is available in Allen
county. Feeder stations for Wild
| life can easily be constructed OF a
brush or cornfodder shocks, sup
piled periodically with alfalfa hay
and grain.
Some feeding already is under
way under Range direction al
though SO far not much grain has
been required. Feed placed at this
time is for the purpose of getting
pheasants and other wild life ac-
customed to spots to which they may
go for food in case of heavy snow
| In the Bluffton area, a large
feeding station has been established
on the Rickly game reserve, two
miles south of town on the Bentley
road.
Game concentrations should be re-
ported to Range at 118 Popular
street or by telephoning 177-R. He
will then make arrangements fol
winter feeding.

''MARGIE" HERE
 IN TECHNIC0L0R
 AT 10TH CENTURY

An interesting question to today's younger set and adults who enjoy memories of their youth is: What happens when a bashful, 16-year- old high school girl falls in love with her new French teacher.
 The answer is clearly and anus ingly given in Twentieth Century Fox's Technicolor o m d y-drama, "Margie,' presented by Daryl F Zanuck and starring Jeanne Grain, Glenn Langan, Lynn Bari and Alan Young. which is at the 20th Century Theatre for tonight only.
 The nostalgia story revolves around teen-age run and heart aches during the late twenties in a typical, small Midwestern city. It is, according to advance reports from Hollywood, one in which all moviegoers are afforded the op- portunity of seeing themselves in humorous predicaments such as enjoyed by Jeanne Grain and her youthful, fun-loving crowd of school kids.

Alaskans, business and industry To- cated in Alaska to help in keeping the Territory solvent. The taxes as now levied are very small and sure ly a small price to pay for the priv ilege of living in this magnificent Territory of Alaska.
 believe the spending Of these tax monies should be carefully watched to prevent abuses (such as private roads) but spent lavishly when the good of all the Territory and it's advancement is concerned. I shouldn't lost much sleep over the industry that is scared out by a 1 per cent tax. Hasn't the Territory's resources been exploited enough by absentee ownership since it's carly days? Would you like to see it continue? The big rake-off from all industry will still go Out side, so let's keep at least per cent for the Territory's benefit. Any |
 industry afraid of per cent tax cannot be much, and their labor outlook will be equally cheap. All their higher paid positions will be filled by company men, from the states, as they certainly won't be interested in any apprenticeship training on the job. All our indus tries here at present are the same. | Good industry will not be scared away by 1 per cent tax. Their outlook will be larger and this will reflect in all their dealings with Alaska. This is what we need.
 Remember, in few years indus try will be bidding against each other for the privilege of locating in Alaska, so why worry about few that are scared away by a small tax. This is 1949 Alaska. | s/ Edmund A. Hinke.

''(AN0N CITY" E SHOWING TONIGHT
 CAPITOL THEATRE

All the excitement, stark drama, and action-filled moments of the jail break by 12 hardened criminals at Colorado State Penitentiary which astounded the nation in December, 1947, is brought to the screen with graphic authenticity in Canon City" latest Eagle Lion movie which is at the Capitol The atre for the last times tonight.
 The story of the 12 desperate men and their daring attempt to make a getaway is fraught with all the human emotions that could possibly be packed into one pie ture. No fiction story could provide the same suspense, the same blood tingling thrills that are portrayed in this real-life drama.
 Starring in the excellent cast are Scott Brady, as the unwilling mem Der of the desperate twelve; Jeff Corey. as ringleader; Robert Bice and Ray Bennett, who made the prop guns used in the escape.
