BUTCH" IS CAST
IN LEADING ROLE
Al 10Th CENTURY

Every once in while there comes
out of Hollywood a story that is OF
personal appeal to every member
of the family from grandpa down
to little junior. Such story will
be unfolded on the screen tomor-
row at Gross Goth Century Theatre.
MY Brother Talks to Horses" with
Butch" jenkins. Peter Lawford.
Beverly Tyler. and Spring Bying-
ton comprising a household that
may not be exactly like the one next
door but is one you will find diff
cult to forget.
Butch" as little Lewie. hangs
around a Baltimore race track and
loves horses to point where he
feels he can communicate with
them. This uncanny proclivity en-
ables him to pick out the winners
in every race, a point which is Of
considerable interest to turfman Ed
ward Arnold, to q trio of track
gamblers headed by Charlie Ruggles
and Lewie's brother, Peter Lawford.
who needs some ready cash to en-
able him to marry his sweetheart,
Beverly Tyler.
When it appears that their get
rich-quick schemes will be realized,
the shock of seeing his favorite
horse killed in race robs Lewie Of
his extraordinary powers of divin-
alton.
The manner in which the family
fortunes are recouped leads to some
excitingly suspenseful situations be-
fore the happy final fadeout.

CONTAMINATION

Editor, Alaska Daily Empire:
 How dear to my heart-are the books of my childhoodW
 Many of us treasure, among our childhood souvenirs, tattered rem nants of favorite books, which have meaning far beyond that which meets the eye. True, these dog -eared leaves bring to some of lls precious memories of home and mother, of childhood friends, or perhaps a favorite teacher But there is some thing about them even more mean ingful and important than early sentimental associations these

books provided for us pleasure and information, and opened for us a bigger world. They brought to US exciting adventures in the field of fiction, answers to the most per- picking questions and explanations for many of the worlds mysteries.
 Many of us -eca1 the libraries C.. our childhood, with all their linii- tations. The public library along with the churches, schools and the town hall, was considered essential to the life and progress of the com munity. It contributed to the sta- bility and dignity of the town and everyone could well take pride in bis citizenship. At this point we want to express our appreciation for the noble efforts of our Juneau librarian and public school teachers in utilizing advantageously the pre- sent inadequate library facilities. In spite of the lack of space, small groups of children are skillfully inaneuvered on important research missions, and hundreds of books are circulated.
 Truly much of the wisdom and beauty of the world has been com lnitted to books. The right kind of book at the right time is one of the most important educational re- sources we can provide for our children. It takes a great variety of books to make available the right book at the right time!'
 The ultimate goal for each child is of course largely determined by himself, but it is surely our obliga- tion as parents and citizens to pro vide enough enriched experience for each child to enable him to dis tinguish and choose according to his aptitudes and capacities.
 True, teachers can do much to teach a child to read, provide prac- tice in reading, and enrich the read ing program by using library re- sources. However, it is only through actual first-hand experience with 2 variety of the right books at the right time" that the child himself can develop an unsuitable desire to master more knowledge or seek further happiness in the worlds great literature.
 The place for these books is, of course, in a modern library which has plenty of space and an invit- ing, honlelike atmosphere, where books, periodicals and other edu- cational materials are attractively displayed and the facilities invite reading and discussion.
 A modern library for Juneau's children? Yes, indeed! Juneau too needs institutions that build for stability and permanence. Too often we hear critical comments about our distance from cultural centers, our rainy climate, limited recrea- tional facilities, and conditions which encourage delinquency. which are presumably handicaps to Ju- neau's young people. These criti- cisns, however, are even more argu- ments for developing the best essential institutions we can afford.
 Such community resources as ade- ouate schools and libraries are fundamental in the development ot Alaska communities and provide
The Daily Alaska empire., 1950-02-01

the very backbone of informed cit izenship and intelligent Statehood.
 Let's make an all-out effort to make the Memorial Library for Juneau a reality this year!

 Weather Note, True Story: It has been so cold in this area. that the sand fleas are trying to get Mink Goats. This has been proved to be a fact, and local trappers maintain that though they have been reading Of the cold weather, sleet and low temperatures of the Coastal States, they feel certain that none of those stories can cap that of pair ot local trappers and their sand fleas.
 It seems that these trappers had their traps set for mink. On return ing later to collect the catch, the two found that the trap which had been set near the water line was nowhere in evidence. They could see that the trap had been there and that something had been caught, but all had mysteriously disappeared When the tide went out, the trappers returned to the site and sure enough, there below the tide line was the trap with an exceptionally large mink in it but the mink was as bare and fur-less as a Mexican Hairless dog. Every hair and every bit of fur had been stripped off by Sand Pleas which were still working on the carcass and still trying to locate just a few more hairs. Yes Sir! Those trap pers maintain it must really be a cold winter when even the Sand Pleas are trying for mink coats.
