 CITIES CHOSEN FOR

 "The attraction Juneau holds for travellers is not due entirely to it's strategic importance" the article states. The charm of Juneau is rather combination of things-a friendly warmhearted people-a city where tall buildings, excellent clubs and fine restaurants mingle easily with the rough-and-ready pioneer spirit that still prevails throughout

C0A5IGUARD' lS FIGHTING FEATURE
 NOW Al CAPITOL

The first motion picture glorify- ing the exploits of Americas oldest sea-going branch of the armed for ces, is now at the Capitol Theatre. It is the Fighting Coast Guard and the film stars Brian Donlevy, Forrest Tucker and Ella Raines in stirring movie story, alive with vivid realism.
 Tucker appears as an ex-Bosun's Mate who figures, in November of l941, that his job in shipyard will defer him from service in case of war. But he hasn't reckonad on meeting lovely Ella Raines, an Ad- mirals daughter, who is working as a welder at the shipyard for patrio- tic reasons. Tucker and Brian Don levy, commander in charge Of construction at the yard become .ivals for Elias affections.
 A series of circumstances cata- pults Tucker right back into the Coast Guard and, after going thru officers training, he is unfairly done out of his commission. He goes through the war as a Bosun's Mate, and, despite his bitterness. distinguishes himself with acts o1 bravery and self-saerifice.
 Right up to it's smashing climax n blooming invasion action, the film is power packed and stirring.
