Complaint of IFoir, Fot ond 40

Fair. fat and 40--that's me, -
Miss w. declared as she sat down
in my Office. Not married, never
was. never will be. Just holding
down a good job, living alone and
not liking it. What's the cure?"
Miss w. was a civil service en-
ploye with a good education, no
bad habits-but not many good
habits, either! She was letting
her work take up too much of
her attention, and she had built
up an inferiority complex. Actu-
ally, she was not fat. She had
just passed her 36th birthday.
She never learned how to live.

she assured me. THE few single
men I know are not earning half
as much as I am. They seem to
have no purpose in life, and I
wouldn't waste my time on them.

social life, to feel that I had a
home. Am I wishing for the i'm
possible?"
A personality test revealed at
once that Miss w. was low in
cordiality. Although sympathetic,
she did not express her sympathy.
Cordiality is one of the easiest
traits to acquire, and a little ef-
fort devoted to improving it will
do a great deal for most people.
I encouraged her to get outside
of herself a little more. She
learned to greet people with a
smile.
She learned to invite conversa-
tion from other people instead of
talking about her own work. She
began to send cards to absent
acquaintances and to pay atten-
tion to the i'll and the elderly.
She agreed to spend less time
alone. and joined an adult edu-
cation class. Taking a hint from
me, she likewise went to her
physician and was put on a diet
that brought her weight down
steadily.
Within six months Miss WIS
whole life had changed, to her
great satisfaction. If you
whether married or single
aren't enjoying life sufficiently

 The story is based on the life ot Paganini and the great music is played by Yehudi Menuhin, today's greatest living violinist.
 The story is a honey one, an everyday happening and is inter esting from start to finish. Then the music-if you love music, ana who in Juneau doesn't, you should be satisfied. "The Magic Bow is different from other features oi musical nature.

KNOCK ON THE DOOR" GOOD BILL
 NOW AT CAPITOL

Sometimes tender, sometimes shocking and at all times compell- ing, Columbia Pictures Knock On Any Door," which stars Humphrey Bogart at the Capitol Theatre, is the challenging record of Skid Row killer who wants to live fast, die young and have a good looking corpse Based upon Willard Mot ley's best-selling novel of big city crime and passion.
 The story of Nick Romano, a sensitive youngster who dreams of stars and stumbles into gutter, the Columbia drama traces his in evitable disintegration. He knows all the angles, loves all the girls, hates all the cops-and his efforts to escape from his Skid Row sur roundings into a decent, normal world would grow increasingly weaker under the pressure of his environment. The end of Pretty Boy" Romano's trail is as grim and spellbinding as is his life.
 Humphrey Bogart is brilliantly cast as Pretty Boys" defense at torney, himself a graduate of Skid Row and therefore capable of un- derstanding and opposing the vio- lence in the boys life.
 Screen newcomer John Derek, an ex-paratrooper, is outstanding as Pretty Boy" Romano. Handsome, talented.
 In major featured roles are George Macready, as a ruthless Dis trict Attorney, determined to send "cop-killer" to the chair; petite and lovely Allene Roberts as Emma, the lost girl from anywhere who married for love and found dis illusion; and Susan Perry, as a social worker who tries with Bogart to smash Skid Rows tenacious grip on Nick Romano.

FEDERAL JAIL FOR
 MUSEUM GETS RISE
 FROM v. METCALFE

The tempest stirred up in off cial quarters by the recent grand jury's recommendation that the federal jail be turned into a museum and that new jail be cuilt, received new impetus today from V. M. Metcalf, head of the jury committee who made the pro- posals.
 Edward Keithahn, museum cura- tor, and William r Mahoney, US. marshal, both hurled criticism late last week at the now -disbanded jury, with Keithahn in particular unsparing in his condemnations.
 In a letter to The Empire, Met calfe says:
 Tt would seem that Keithahn is quite unhappy, to put it mildly He apparently feels the recently ex- cused panel was composed mainly of individuals slightly sub-par mentally.
 Since I headed the committee which made the recommendations, I find it imperative to clarify the issue and bring Keithahn out of the woods.
 T believe the grand jury was a fine group not interested in seeing 'cutthroats, rapists and thieves bivouaced in the Baranof lobby. They we're, however, interested in seeing these unfortunates housed in an adequate building, one fire proof, safe from dampness and vermin'-for instance, the type in which you would house a priceless group of books and antiquities
 After all, they are merely hu- man beings who strayed from the fold and still have certain rights according to the constitution"
 While Metcalfe admits that re- commentators concerning the buildings use might have been "out of their province" an architect committee member considered the structure a museum piece in itself and logic dictated its use for some thing besides it's present purpose, flor which it was not built"
 In answer to Keithahn huff about not being visited in his museum, Metcalfe said:
 ''As to a visit to a territorial in- stitution by federal grand jury, Ed, wouldn't that group have been getting a little out of it's baili- wick'?"

 Responsible for most of the hi- arity are co-stars John Lund, Wanda Hendrix, Barry Fitzgerald, and Monty Woolley, as talented a quartet of comedians as fans could nope for in one picture.
 Add to them the highly desirable fillip occasioned by the presence in the cast of Ilka Chase, Robert Stack, Dorothy Stickney and Eliza beth Patterson, and it should be easy to understand why Miss Tat locks Millions" is definitely a must picture if you like your en- tertainment on the uproarious side.

BETTER MEDICAL Care
THAT YOU CAN AFFORD

That is the title of an appealing
little booklet published by the Demo
cratic National Committee in Wash
ington, DC. Briefly and with punch
BETTER MEDICAL CARE THAT
YOU CAN AFFORD gives a com
plete picture of the national health
program endorsed by the Farmers
Union, many labor organizations,
and public health groups.
The spotty nature of the distribu-
ton of our medical facilities through
out the nation makes it impossible
for millions of Americans to have
the kind of medical care they need
because distance from farms and
small towns to medical centers in the
cities is too far for people of poor
and moderate means. The result is
great waste of human resources
through much sickness and early
deaths.
The national health plan before
Congress would provide:
1. More medical education to in
crease the number of trained nurses
and doctors and health workers.
2. More medical research so that
a better job can be done on cancer,
heart disease and many other all
ments.
g. More hospitals and health CEN
ters.
a. More local public health work.
5. More health projection for bab-
les and children.
In addition the national health
plan would remove the dollar barrier
to good health for all by having ev-
eryone pay his share of the cost of
medical care in small, regular pay
ments.
Says the little booklet:
Health insurance would be paid
for the way workers now pay old
age and survivors insurance prem
iums or as railway workers pay
into the railroad retirement fund.
A worker would pay l u % of earn
ings under $4OO per month. No
worker would pay more than $6
