in The Big Clock" an even greater

In The Big Clock" which arrives
tonight at the Gross Goth Theatre

Murder, not rum. is the demon
which haunts Milland and involves
him in man-hunt packed with
suspense that is as unusual and
daringly different as the picture
itself. For THE Big Clock" times
mans search for himself-with
death the reward for his success
In his portrayal of terrified George

editor of a detective story magazine,

into their own American Legion

course, many other fine organlza-

There is always a great need In
this field and many mdlVluual

two years particularly, and for
many years formerly, in sponsor
ing Boy Scout Troop 613, and
through their auxiliary organiza-
ton, the 40 and Society, the
sponsorship of Explorers Post 713.
During this two-year period Troop
613 has been the largest and one
of the most active in Gastineau
Channel scouting, and Post Offic-
ers have been enthusiastic and
generous in their support of the
entire Boy Scout program for Al
aska. 8 of the IL registered men,
bers of Explorer Post 7l3 were par
Elephants in the End National JAM
boree, held at Valley Forge, Penn
sylvania this summer, and Explorer
Advisor Chester zenger was one OF
the contingent's leaders.
Item eve commend the Sitka
Post No. 10 for their willing spon-
sorship of Boy Scout Troop 642,
which has made available the pro-
gram of scouting to group OF IL
physically handicapped boys at the
Orthopedic Hospital at Mt. Edge
cumbe. This appears to us to be
a true reflection Of the American
Legion ideal of service to others.
AS a matter Of interest to the
Department Convention, We add
that a total of 1875 Alaska boys are
currently participating in scouting
programs under the sponsorship OF
the various Posts OF the Depart
ment. This total represented nearly
1917 of our total registered MEM
bership of 1869 boys at the end OF
July. The Boy Scouts of America
wishes to express their apprecia-
ton to the American Legion for
their active and interested support
of scouting in Alaska. We are
anxious to continue to merit this
support and cooperation, and we
trust that Legionnaires felt that
the Boy Scout program is con-
tributing to their general aims OF
Americanism and child welfare.
We would point out that there
continue to be new opportunities
for sponsorship Of scouting units
for boys in Alaska. We feel that
our registered membership will
nearly double during the next sew
eral years, and this will require
the organization and leadership OF
additional units. We invite an ex-
preston of interest in this regard
on the part of the American Legion.
Specifically, it seems to us that
there will be rather soon oppor-
tunities for such sponsorship at
Fairbanks, again at Adak, at HOO
nah, at Wrangell, and possibly at
other towns also. The whole field
of Explorer Scouting for young men
ID to IS is practically untouched in
Alaska, with the exception OF the
cities of Ketchikan, Juneau and
Fairbanks. There will be new OPP
portunities in this division OF
scouting during the coming months.
Again, it is perfectly In order to
suggest that every American Lee
gion Post having Boy Scout troop
might well consider the establish
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1950-09-02
