Soldiers Build
 ''Miracle" Home For 60 Orphans

More than 60 orphans in Alaska are living in large, comfortable new home-thanks to US. sol dicrs stationed there.
 The soldiers from Special Troops, Headquarters, US. Army, Alaska, helped build the new Lazy Mountain Children's Home near Palmer and donated more than S1,3OO for building materials and other necessities. The new orphanage replaces one which burned several years ago.
 Soldiers and airmen in the An chorage area donated free time on Saturdays over a period of many months to complete the three story, cement block structure. Groups of 24 volunteers drove more than 50 miles to the home at their own expense to do the work.
 Final completion of the non-de- nominational orphange marked the end of a three-year dream of the Rev. Kenneth Hughes who, with his wife, "adopted" the chill dren some time ago.
 After a 1949 fire destroyed most of an orphanage at Valdez, Alas ka, Hughes moved about half his children into temporary quarters on local farms. He put the others in Quonset hutS at the site planned for the new orphans home. Then he drew plans for a 45 room structure to house his entire family"
 Contributions from Alaskan and US. cnurch-goers helped buy ex- pensive building materials, and a few local men began work on the building foundation.
 But Hughes needed more hands to speed completion of the build ing, and he prayed for a miracle to find them.
 The miracle" occurred when soldiers exploring nearby Gnu zach Mountains came upon a dirt road which led to the children in quonset huts and their half-com- pleted future home on Lazy Mountain.
 At the barracks the idea of helping the orphans caught on quickly, and a committee was formed to line up work parties and transportation for volunteer Saturday construction work.
 The orphans now are living to- gether as happy family unit in their new home. The soldiers still are donating their time to put on finishing touches around the house.

are. We gotta stick. You cheated
on me and the monument like a
skunkw
Pretty soon Sam, who was blub-
bering, quieted down and they was
in each others arms and l was
de trob. To make a long story
short, that was the end of Alice's
career as star. E.
HE funny thing is that after
that hammy suicide act, Sam kind
of Strengthened around. Maybe it
was the riot act that Alice read
him. That stuff about their life
being a monument in show busi-
ness kind of impressed him. He
was always talking about it after
ward to anybody who'd listen.
Our happy life together" he
would say, lis a monument in
show business!" And maybe the
idea that she'd given up a hundred
and fifty thousand just for him
made an impression.
Anyway, with the money they
had they bought a motel a
pretty fancy one called La Grande
Hacienda. Alice hired a guy to run
it, and Sam sat around wisecrack-
ing with the customers, and then
Alice had another idea. They
opened a kind of bar and night
club = small but intimate, you
might say = and Sam became
kind of master of ceremonies and
everybody in Hollywood took
shine to it and it got to be known
as Sam Small's place. The place
was every night jammed, and the
liquor sales was terrific.
1t seemed like Alice just had
what they call the Midas touch
and pretty soon They was really
raking in the coin and Alice was
slowing it away in real estate. But
the chief thing was that Sam was
happy. He was it again. He had
the top billing. / don't know what
became of the widow. Alice stays
home mostly and cooks and sews
like she always really wanted to
do. Little Sam is at Harvard study
ing to be a lawyer.
LAST year when l went out.
Alice came into Hollywood and
had lunch with me and l said,
What do you do all day, Alice?"
and she said, Il play auction
bridge not contract, mind you,
but auction =. and / belong to a
garden club and sometimes, when
he can get away from the motor
court, Sam and 60 down to the
Coast or up to the mountains fish
ing and l collect brass bells"
But" | said, what are the
people like?"
"Well," said Alice, "I'll tell you.
Last week the bridge club met at
my house and one of the women
said, Mrs. Small, may have the
courtesy of your toilet?' They're
very refined"
Well, you wondered what be-

quiet and after a while l got tired
waiting to be called back and went
into the living room. 1t was empty
and their bedroom door was closed.
After that everything went
pretty well for the next month.
Alice's picture had a big opening
in downtown Los Angeles and she
and | had to 60. Alice didn't stay
for the party afterward. She
wanted to get back to Sam and
when she got back he wasn't home
and he didn't come in till morning.
And then we had the old stuff all
over again. l guess you might say
that the love life of Sam and Alice
was just a series of violent quar-
rels and violent reconciliations
and l mean it about the reconcilia-
TONS
But Alice's contract was coming
up again, this time for more money
than ever, and one afternoon Alice
and l went in to talk about it with
her agent. Before we left, Sam had
got himself quite drunk and came
rolling in just as we got into the
car. l could see Alice was upset.
All the way in she wouldn't talk to
me and as we were coming down
Sunset, she said, May, I'm just
not going to do it. I'm not going
to sign!"
said, "Are you crazy? Turning
down hundred and fifty thou
sand a picture"
1T isn't worth it," Alice said.
What's worth more than that?"
said, and for once | couldn't con-
troll myself. l said, "You mean
Sam is worth more than a hundred
and fifty thousand a picture?"
"Yes," said Alice. Its some
thing you don't know about -.
even with your three ex-husbands."
Well, that remark hurt my feel
ings, so l wouldn't talk after that.
But had a kind of feeling that my
knell had struck.
WELL, she and the agent went
into a hassle that lasted for hours.
He didn't want to see his cut of
fifteen thousand a picture going
down the drain. and l guess he
gave her the works, about Sam
and everything.
She drove home about ninety
miles an hour all the way. It's a
wonder we didn't get picked up.
And when we got home she just
left the car on the drive and ran
into the house. guess she wanted
to tell Sam right off and make him
happy. followed her in and found
her in the living room. She was
reading some kind of letter she had
found on the table and suddenly
she screamed. May! May! He's
done it! It's what I was always
scared of. He's killed himself"
The note wasn't long. 1t just
said, II can't bear it any longer.

THE Big SMASH

opened the bedroom door but
he wasn't there. He wasn't in any
of the rooms, and l went back to
their bedroom and opened the
closet door and there he was, hang
ing from hook with the cord of
his bathrobe around his neck. Alice
screamed and fell across the bed,
and l went to cutting Sam down,
as they say.
He wasn't actually hanging. His
feet was on the floor, and the cord
wasn't tight enough to strangle an
ant and he was breathing as if he
was asleep but maybe it was just
liquor. Sam. the rat, was playing
unconscious and sagged like he
wasreally hanging and l had quite
a time unloosening the knot with
Alice screaming and crying on the
bed all the time until yelled,
He amt dead. Come and help me
get him off this damned hook!"
Well, we got him down and had
to drag him to the bed, and got
some Bourbon knowing that would
revive him pretty quick even if
he wasn't playing possum. And
sure enough pretty soon he came
around and what does he do, with
the moose still around his neck, but
begin reading that ham dialogue?
He opens his eyes and says, Where
am I? What happened?"
FIRST Alice burst into tears and
then she got mad. Brother, I've
seen people mad but nothing like
that. She said, ''You dirty rat!
You ham! How can you do that to
me?" And she said to him every
thing I'd wanted to say for years
and then pretty soon she got calm
and talked sense like didn't know
she had it in her.
She reminded him about Little
Sam and about how long they'd
been together and that she wasn't
going to give up now after all the
years of trouble and fighting just
when she'd turned down another
big contract, and each time she
wanted to emphasize a point or he
tried to talk, she'd yank on the
cord of the bathrobe that was still
around his neck. 1t was sure
good way of controlling a man in
an argument. And she said one
thing I've never forgot. She said,
Look" she said. This thing be-
tween us has gone on for so long
it's a monument, especially in

Although plans are still In the
tentative stage, 1t has been an
neuneed that girl cadets will be
given the opportunity this year to
attend CAP summer encampments
at Air Force bases previously Of
fered only to boys. At summer
encampment, the girls will re-
ceive flights in Air Force planes
and the regular cadet training
under the supervision of Senior
Girl CAP members and WAF
officers.
The local recruitment drive will
be part of a nationwide effort to
interest high school sophomores,
juniors and seniors in the CAP.
One of Maj. Jenison's plans is to
organize an all-girl cadet drill
team to compete with similar
teams in the CAP wings in the
various States. Puerto Rico, Alas
ka and Hawaii. AZ
Mrs. Jenison said she and her
husband had often talked of fly-
ing. but it was not until he was
serving in the Navy that she found
the time to earn her license. When
he arrived home from q tour of
duty in the Pacific Mr.. Jenison
claims her first words were: IT
soloed today"
Not to be outdone by his wife,
Mr.. Jenison also took to the air
and they have become known as
the flying tensions"
Now their son Ned, q sophomore
at the University Of Illinois, Is also
q pilot. Following the family
tradition, he signed up for the
college flying course to make the
family interest In aviation unani-
nous.

not requisite for senior member
ship, she stressed.
There are now 81 senior women
members and 40 girl cadets in the

No goal has been set in the re-
cruitment drive. "The sky's the
