MAJORS NEWB0ULD
OPEN new RED SHIELD
CENTER IN FAIRBANKS

Installation of a new Salvation
Army Red Shield center in Fair
banks and enlargement of the Red
Shield center in Anchorage are re-
ported by Major Eric Newbould,
commander of the Alaska Salvation
Army, who returned to Juneau last
week after trip through the Terri
tory
Mrs. Newbould, also a major in
the Salvation Army and in charge
of women's activities for her or
ganization in Alaska, accompanied
her husband on the territorial in
spection trip.
Both are enthusiastic over the
new Red Shield center in Fairbanks.
1t will be used to aid in the housing
of transients and soldiers, regard
less of creed or faith, Major New
bould said. The lounge, reading
room and chapel will be available
for service personnel and civilians
engaged on defense projects in the
interior city.
For several years Fairbanks has
been seeking a Red Shield center,
but lack of money, property and
personnel has prevented the en-
trance of this activity into the town
until now.
1.-The dedication of our building
in Fairbanks is gratifying to u.s."
Major Newbould said. 1.-The Red
Shield center gives us a shelter al
most in the center of town. There
are dormitory accommodations for
% persons, with beds in the separate
rooms for six more.
Ceremonies were held Sunday
afternoon, with Major Robert
Hopes representing Fairbanks as a
principal speaker. The president OF
the Central Labor Council and
representatives of the Ministerial
Association and Laid air base were
also on the program"
In Anchorage, Major Newbould
supervised the establishment of en-
larged quarters for the Red Shield
center in a recently purchased
property which will allow sleeping
space for 80 to 80 homeless men a
night.
IF we had more room, we would
be sleeping more men," Major New
bould said. with the mines closing
down, and people still flocking into
Anchorage, there is definite need
of the service we are able to pro-
vide. People who come to town broke,
have no money for hotels or rooms,
even when they get jobs, until their
first pay day. These men we help
and wish we we're able to aid more
of them"

scenes inside an igloo Eskimo word
for home).
The audience is taken through
an entire day from the family's
waking between reindeer skins on
the floor through a wildly primitive
Eskimo dance in the evening.
Mother hangs out Mondays wash
with her baby on her back, Eskimo
children go to school, brother gath
ers ice for water-these and other
events make up the day of the far
northern homemaker Such atten-

Not of least interest is the fact
that women in the audience will
come away with a recipe for genuine

never tasted anything like it in

blue LAGOON" IS
TECHNIC0L0R HIT
ON CAPITOL SCREEN

Beautiful production has been
combined with a delightfully."- in
genious story to bring j. Arthur
Ranks THE Blue Lagoon" to the
screen. The South Sea Island ship
wreck tale, filmed in Technicolor
opened Saturday at the Capitol The
atre.
Jean Simmons, one of the most
promising young actresses on the
screen today, comes through with
charm, beauty and warmth as a
young lady who grows up on an
island paradise. The 19-year-old
brunette previously won critical ac-
claim for her performances as
Ophelia in the Academy Award
winning Hamlet" as Estella in
Great Expectations" and as a ma
tive dancer in BLACK Narcissus"-
roles that show the range Of her
dramatic talents.
In THE Blue Lagoon" Jean again
hits the bulls eye for exciting act
ing. The film, ''shot" on actual loca-
ton in the South Pacific, tells the
story of two children, aged eight
and seven, who make their way
along with a salty old seaman, to
coral island after shipwreck.
When the sailor dies, they are left
completely on their own, with only
provident Nature as their ally
The children grow up on the island
distinguishing for pearls and
fashioning a crude home-virtually
unaware of outer civilization.
Donald Houston appears as jeans
companion, matching her feminine
beauty with blond masculine appeal
and a physique that makes him per-
fectly credible as the child of Ma
ture. The pair, as children, are
played with delightful charm by
Susan Stranks and Peter Jones.
Their sea-going mentor, as played
by Noel Purcell, is crusty and SEN
timental-a man who would feel at
home in Treasure Island" or Rob
inson Crusoe."
The supporting cast is uniformly
competent, with standout perform
ances by Cyril Cusak and James
Hayter as renegade beachcombers
who discover the island and provide
the youngsters with their first link
to the world beyond.
