 This profoundly moving and warm story of Joe. the character played by Eddie Bowling on the stage and Cagney in the film. is cast with as fine a group of thespians as have graced the screen in many a month.

CONSTRUCTION
 GOING FORWARD
 ON GLACIER HWY.

Work has been started on recon struction of the Duck Creek-Auk Bay road on Glacier Highway, ac- cording to w. A. Wood, engineer in the District office of the Bur eau of Public Roads. Keil and Pet erman, with offices in the Klein Building, are the contractors.
 Reconstruction of the road will start at the end of paving, near the airport, and a new section of road built through the old Army pest, will eliminate the present Duck Creek bridge, and join the highway about 600 feet beyond.
 The curve ct the Alaska Com munications System transmitter station will be flattened out, Wood said. Curves at Peterson Hill are eliminated. and from there the road will be straight-of- cut
 ting behind the site of the former Chapel By -The-Lake to the top of the hill at Christensen's place. A
 triple culvert fill will cross Aux Creek about 500 feet below the present bridge.
 The sharp curve opposite the for mer Foster residence will be ironed out and a new wye constructed at the turmoil to the loop road around Aux Lake. The project ends. approximately, at Hickey's store.
 Clearing has already been com pleted in the vicinity of the pro- posed culvert over Aux Creek and
 now the crews are working back toward Peterson Hill About Il men are on the job. Work has also been started at the culvert on structure excavation preparatory to pouring concrete for the culvert. Contractors hope
 to get it in place as soon as pos sible to avoid high water when the heavy run-off starts in the moun- tains.
 When completed this fall the
 newly built road will be 32 feet wide from shoulder to shoulder with fine gravel finish. This will be to 10 feet wider than the old
 road. Eventually. possibly next year, it will be paved, 20-foot strip with four inch gravel shoul- ders.
 The grade lire will be improved, many of the dips and inclines be- |, ing removed.
 l Wood said that many times dur ing construction it will be neces- sary to detour traffic around the loop road or around Engineers Cutoff, via Fritz Cove. He added
 that after real construction gets
 under way, people living at Aux
 Bay and beyond would probably save time by using the loop road
 altogether rather than trying the present road and having to turn back. However, detour signs will ne posted at strategic points, he said.
 The reconstruction includes 3.262
 miles of road and the contract calls for completion not later than October 26.
 Ed Hildre. local man, is super intendent with c. H. Keil in over all charge.

County agents will arrange a pro-
gram for the afternoon which will
consist of either an equipment show

on these subjects will be directed

The show will be held on farms

equipment shows are planned, the
dealers will demonstrate their prod
