The program. although rather
long, was very entertaining and
thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Father Louis w. johnson, intro
duced by Hobart r. Mitchell. Sr.,
welcomed the huge gathering and
was followed by the Gay Nineties
group emceed by Mrs. Hobart T.
Mitchell The clothes Of this por-
ton Of the program were from
the wardrobe Of the late Dora
Dean Of the famed dance team OF
Dean and johnson" which were
loaned to St Thomas by Mr..

hit Of the show. Gayle Marshall
modelled a brown and tan jumper,
Mary Ann Bryant and last but
not least was Wayne Michael deck
ed out in a black cowboy outfit
with red accessories complete
with two pearl handled "sixshoot-

thing lacking in young Master

Monitor Writer Sees Valdez Trucks as Important Defense Link, if War Comes

The trucking operation out of Valdez is hailed as one of two possible means of keeping Alaska in communication with the states, should war develop here, in a story appearing in a recent edi- ton of the Christian Science Mon itor. Although the Monitor erro- neously states that Alaska Freight Lines soon will extend it's oper- ations to Valdez" the article does give a good picture of the place of the ocean freighter-truck in dustry in the supply line to vital spots in the territory.
 It is pointed out that the sea- transported trucks can count on 1000 miles of island-sheltered travel to Alaska, before they em- bark on the exposed 450-mile crossing of the Gulf of Alaska to reach Valdez Cor Whittier).
 The Monitor article reports that Alaska Freight Lines now has a million dollars worth of trucks and refrigerated trucks operating to and within Alaska, and that the firm recently has leased both tugs and barges to extend its ocean operations.
 The second suggestion for main taining communication with the states in the event of war is "sea train" That train would be composed of half a dozen ocean, going tankers, each capable of carrying 92 loaded railroad cars in it's hold. This train" of course, would tie up at the ports

Graft Shop Opens This Week

The craft shop. sponsored by Rev. Richard Teeter, plans for which were announced earlier this spring, is to open here this week. The shop is still unfinished and still unnamed, but Reverend Teeter has decided that craft work, carpentry and name-calling all can proceed at the same time.
 Project work in the shop is to begin at once. Young people are invited to come in and sign up for the handicraft course in which they're interested.
 Plans for contest to select the name of the shop were outlined tentatively by Reverend Teeter. The contest will be open to all young people between the ages of 10 and 21 years inclusive. A judges committee will be select ed to choose the winning name. Prizes will be offered to those submitting the top ranking names.
 Reverend Teeter promises a complete outline of contest plans in future edition of the Valdez News. He asks everyone inter ested to watch for the announce ment, which will be appearing in week or two.

North Star Cafe
 Reopens, Pinzon Is Newly Modernized

One restaurant re-opened in Valdez recently, and another has just been rejuvenated with a $1,OOO job of face-lifting. Mrs. Les Sievers again has opened the North Star Cafe, across from the Dieringer Garage, and co pro- prietresses Mrs. Jo Berry and Mrs. Sue Sauers have sparked a very thorough job of remodelling and redecorating at the Pinzon Lunch Counter.
 The North Star also has been newly painted and decorated. The Cafe has a six-stool counter, as well as tables for it's customers. The cafe opens at six each morn ing and closes at seven in the evening, every day except Sun day. The North Star is closed all day on Sunday.
 Work at the Pinzon started with the floor and ended at the cell ing. Inlaid linoleum went down on both kitchen and lunch room floors. A modern restaurant sink was installed in the kitchen. Counter and stools now are the latest thing in restaurant equip ment, sparkling with veneer, chrome, leather and black tile.
 Walls and ceilings were re- painted and vanished as the final touch. Bill Zook was the carpen- ter in charge of the remodelling at the Pinzon Lunch Counter.

served by The Alaska Railroad.
 The Monitor says the sea train idea has so many attractive fea- lures, from military standpoint, that it may ''call for shelving of proposals for a railroad to Alas ka."
 The article quotes an unnamed Alaskan official, who says that one well-placed bomb could put the railroad out of commission for months, even as it could the Alas ka Highway. 'The sea train would be indestructibIe," he states. Each one could be con- voyed and even if trains were sunk, replacing them would be comparatively easy"
 Both measures will do much to cut the high cost of transporta- ton to the north, in either peace or war, experts agree.
 Officials of The Alaska Rail road, which hasn't been doing too well in it's efforts to make rev. enues meet operational costs, hail the idea. They think the pro- posed sea trains would go far to- ward putting the Railroad square ly on it's feet again.
 Sea trains have been operated successfully on the East coast in the United States. The Monitor says the Department of the In- terior, which operates The Alaska Railroad, is dickering with car rier in that trade to make an of fer for a similar project in Alaska.

JUNEAU-ITES BECOME 

Juneau citizens began digging for pennies on Tuesday of this week, when the city's one-percent sales tax went into effect. The tax was voted to create fund for paying off Juneau's bonded indebtedness. As soon as that in- debtedness is cleared, the tax will be revoked.
 With more money coming into city coffers, Juneau councilmen last week voted to put little more of it into circulation. Coun- cilmen unanimously decided on a 25-cent hourly wage increase for city laborers, truck drivers and street maintenance men.

 Far North Deliveries

Someone in the far north is going to get some pretty soppy Christmas presents this year. The Coastal Monarch, freighter which reported a fire in it's hold while off Sand Point, was the only ves- sel scheduled for a sailing north of the Arctic Circle in 1850. No other ship will go further north than Nome. The Coastal Monarch carried Christmas merchandise for Wales and for Shishmaref and Kotzebue Sound villages.
 All merchandise in the hold where flames broke out was con- siderably dampened, when sea men had to use water to fight the blaze. Extinguishers of chem ical fire-fighting liquid were not sufficient to quench the fire.

Cifv of Cordovo Moves
 To Buy Telephone System

Because the contemplated pur chase of properties of the Alaska Public Utilities at Cordova can not be covered by the sale of rev. enue bonds alone, the CordoVa council recently voted to pur- chase the telephone system out of the city's general fund. The sys- tenn is valued at only $3,OO0.
 The Cordova council has been informed by Seattle underwriters that the water and telephone rev enues are not adequate for the support of a revenue bond issue. The underwriters suggested that general obligation bonds be is sued instead. This calls for a general election, and the Cordova council is unwilling to wait for that formality, since option on the Public Utilities property expires on Aug. 3l.

JERRY O'LEARY
 IS STRUCK DOWN
 BY HEART ATTACK

Jerry O'Leary, an Alaskan since the turn of the century, was found dead in his skiff Tuesday, July 25. The boat was found float ing near his Glacier Island home, and it is believed the elderly man died of heart attack brought on by over-exertion. He had been fishing during the present salmon season.
 MT. O'Leary, Jerry" to all of his many friends throughout the Third Division, was nearly 69 years old at the time of his death. He was born in County Cork, Ire land, on Aug IS, 1881.
 He left Ireland as a youth, and travelled widely over many parts of the world. He came to Alaska in the early 1900s and settled here to work as prospector and con- struction worker. He mined and prospected in the Chisana and Mccarthy country for many years, and later was employed on the Copper River Railroad during it's construction.
 In 1920, MT. O'Leary bought a blue fox farm on Glacier Island, near the Columbia Glacier. His home was a welcome stop for travellers on Prince William Sound. He will be sorely missed there by his many friends from Valdez and CordoVa.
 Until the time of his death, MT. O'Leary lived on the fox farm, supplementing his income by salmon fishing each summer.
 The dead man had no immedi- ate family. He is survived by a nephew, Thomas O'Leary of Se- attle, niece, Miss Margaret O'Leary, of Concord, New Hamp- shire, and by other relatives who still live in Ireland.
 A Rosary was recited for MT. O'Leary last Wednesday. The fol- lowing morning a funeral mass was said by Father D. A. Mel bourne, at the Church of St. Fran cis Xavier at Valdez. Burial fol- lowed in the Valdez Cemetery.

Worker on Cannery Ship Shoots Two
 In Card Game Row

Freddie Valoroso, 33-yearold Filipino worker on the floating cannery NeVa, was arraigned in Anchorage last Monday afternoon for double murder that took place on the ship last week. Va loroso allegedly shot and killed John Sanute, another Filipino, and Theodore Frazier, Negro.
 The attack took place in the Oriental quarters of the NeVa, while the ship was anchored in Thumb Bay off Knight Island. An idle remark voiced by an On- locker at a card game is reported to have set Valoroso off on his murderous rampage.
 Witnesses said that the dead Sanute attempted to knife Valo- roso A gun was drawn and sev- eral shots fired. When the Filo- pino finally was overpoWered his assailant lay dead and Frazier, merely a bystander at the card game, also was killed.
 U. s. Commissioner Margaret Harrais of Valdez notified the of flee of Marshal Paul Herring in Anchorage and representatives of that office, and of the FBI, flew to the scene to take Valoroso into custody.

 Colonel Alexander said that there is no evacuation planned for Alaska's civilians for three req sons: CD There is nothing to be gained by sending permanent Alaskans out; CD people already established here will be needed in Alaska for the war effort, should there be a war; 3) resi- dent Alaskans would have no place to go, if they were evacu- ated.

the war effort, is called upon to support the plan for evacuation of military dependents. Colonel Alexander said most dependents lived on the target, and that in the event of war, they would couse confusion and impair ef- ficiency of the fighting forces-in short, they would be in the way.
 The defense director said he was preparing a Civil Defense Manual for Alaska, complete with dos, don'ts and diagrams"
 He emphasized that cities must be self-sufficient in their plan ning-that National Guard units will be utilized as units only, and cannot prop up civilian defense plans.
