ANCHORAGE TEACHERS
SEEKING PAY RAISE

The 1879 teachers of the Anchor
age Education Association have
sent their president and fellow
teacher, Warren Dahlstrom, to rep
resent them before the legislature
in their appeal for salary increases.
Every effort must be made 20
bring the salary schedules OF the
various divisions of Alaska into a
competitive position with those paid
outside" Dahlstrom said here today.
"At the present time the differ
ences in effective income between
the teachers of Alaska and those
in cities like Seattle, Minneapolis,
Yakima, Wash, and Salem, Ore,
ranged from $500 to $1,000 per
year, depending on place Of resi-
dence in the territory.
Cost OF living surveys show that
the Alaska salaries last July were
this far behind. The present. rise IN
living costs would increase 1t even
more. Inadequate salaries in the
long run mean poor teaching. The
youth of Alaska deserve the eest
we can provide"

new TCHAIk0vSkY
FEATURE SHOWING
AT 10Th CENTURY

Although Song of My Hear"
deals strongly with the life, the
music and the times of Peter Ilyitch
Tchaikpvsky, its appeal is no.
limited to the devotee of fine music
1t will appeal to all motion picture
goers,
It's tender love story, warmly and
brilliantly played, and its rich mo-
ments of high drama are combined
well with the deathless music of
the Russian composer.
This picture. a Symphony Films
production released by Allied Ar
lists, opened yesterday at the 10th
Century Theatre, and met with an
enthusiastic reception. Particularly
pleasing in their roles as Tchai-
kovsky and the Russian princess
with whom he falls in love are
Frank Sundstrom, the Swedish
cinema star. and the beauteous
Audrey Long. They are performers
of rare talent and appeal.
Sundstrom gives to his perform
ance a sensitive touch, and uses
this brilliantly enacted screenplay
as the vehicle in which to make
his American debut as a film star.
Miss Long is ideally cast as the
noblewoman at whose villa he stays
in Italy.
Sir Cedric Hardwicke turns in a
fine performance as the Grand
Duke, father of Princess Amalya,
who first opposes her love affair
with Tchaikovsky but later relents;
Mikhail Rasumny is excellent in his
two roles, first as Russian officer
who tells the Tchaikovsky story and
later as Tchaikovsky's devoted man
, servant; and Gale Sherwood, a rel
alive newcomer in Hollywood films,
is given opportunity to display her
sterling singing qualities.

Nine DEER join
WHDLlfE lynn
CANAL DISTRICT

Deer have now been introduced
into the wildlife population OF the
Taiya district near Skagway. FIVE
bucks and four does placed in the
area in the last few days by the
Fish and Wildlife Service are the
nucleus of what is hoped will be a
good sized herd in the Lynn Canal
district.
Five deer, the last of the nine
placed in the Taiya, were trans
ported by FWS agents on the
Grizzly Bear. The vessel then re-
turned to Juneau.
The Grizzly Bear was forced back
from Lynn Canal by heavy weather
last week and put in at Aux Bay.
Four of the deer were flown to
the stocking area when weather
prevented further flying. Monday
dawned calm and the final trip was
made by the Grizzly Bear.
The nine deer were taken at Port
Althorp. A novel trapping method
was the use of an abandoned can
merry retort. The bait was set just
inside the entrance and the door
swung shut as the unwary animals
entered the trap" Little time and
effort was required with small in
convenience to the deer. They were
transported in barred pen erected
at the stern of the FWS vessel.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3 (INS)-
If the full skirt is fully accepted
this winter, as designers expect,
it will be a finished fad by next
fall.
This is the opinion of many fash
ion experts, who make their judg-

ments largely by looking over past
records.
The master of high-fashion at
low-costs," Henry Rosenfeld, ex-
plains it this way, eff a radical
change in fashion goes over i'm
mediately, it goes dead almost as
fast.
"And I think full skirts are
going over immediately"
Rosenfeld himself has always
put a certain number Of swirl
skirted dresses.
Smart women will not invest too
much wardrobe money in wide
skirts this winter.
The often-voiced rumor about
this style capital has it that high
fashion dresses and suits will have
reed-slim silhouettes by spring.
Though designers aren't giving
away their secrets until the pre-
view shows next January, there's
enough gossip to indicate rather
definitely that the American wo-
man will receive her second
"~quick-switch" in a years span.
Expected to return, with the
slim skirt, are larger hats, flare
skirted coats, lower hemlines
and a really big revival of inter-
est in the patent leather accessory.

Sparkplug
Boeing has developed a new foulproof sparkplug that should be
a boon to any user Of internal combustion machines.
Of course, it is designed specifically for aircraft engines, but
the company is now working on designs for motorcycle motors, out
board motors, and automobile engines.
The Improvement in the new plug is a recessed combustion
chamber for the sparkplugs arc. This is accomplished by encasing the
entire sparkpug in a special barrel which extends over the bottom
Of the eectrode.
When tests were conducted on a single cylinder engine the Boz
ing plug lasted through 70 hours of continuous operation without
fouing. The engine was run in alternating cycles of % hours at
cruising power, five minutes takeoff power, and an hour and 55
minutes climb.
Other tests showed the wide operational limits Of the sparkplug
make it adaptable to the maximum power and operating conditions
Of all types Of aircraft engines.
The new model was devised by Boeing service engineer Gilbert
F. Wright who became irritated over the way sparkplugs continually
foued on his racing motorcycle.

Joe Louis has been a truly noble
figure IN me sometimes awful mess
called prlze-flghting.
AS Tar as l know he never took
a dive nor ever arranged Tor any
boay to dive for him. To make
that foregoing simple statement
is a tribute to Louis Importance
beyond having a statue erected in
his honor in public squares.
He was the greatest p~rize-fight-
er Of our time, and all l am about
to ask now is that he get out with
out further delay.
He issued a statement yesterday
in the fine prose of some ghost
writer asking that the public bear
with him while he makes up his
mind about future plans. What
future plans?
He should quit fighting now,
, 1951-11-03

knowing as he must that he is
bilking the public every time he
goes to bat in these days Of his
pugilistic senility. He can't fight
any more
This was said in this department
on several previous occasions and
his knockout at the hands of
Rocky-M arciano last Friday night
confirmed it. Sad as it may be,
Louis now is a two-bit fighter.
Every time he steps into a ring at
a high ticket scale based upon his
having once held the championship
he is getting away with a plain
steal.
One answer to this may be that
the suckers don't have to pay to
watch him. A better answer is
that he shouldn't force them to
make the choice Of turning out OF
staying away.
