A rather earnes and demure wo-
man off-stage, Dorothy, 20, is
modest about her talents. II have
a nice voice and it's pleasing. It's
got a lot of soul in it. Besides,
people just seem to like to look
at me-"
A trouper since she was five,
Cleveland born Dorothy has wait
ed a long time for people to start
looking. AS a child, she toured
the South in "a kind of package
show" with her mother (Ruby
Dandrige of the Beulah and Judy
| Canova radio shows), sometimes
singing hymns and "sweet songs"
such as "The World Is Waiting
for the Sunrise, in churches. At
16, she was singing with her sister
in Jimmie Lunceford's band at
Hanhattan's Cotton club, but no
body paid much attention. In
1912, she got married; now dl-
vorced, she has a daughter, Haro-
! lyn, z.
Dorothy got started on the road
to C when the practiced eyes
of Pianist Arranger Phil Moore
lit on her at Hollywood's MCCAIN

Horne, wrote some new maternal

more than 100000 members in the
United States and Canada, includ-

Daughter of the chief operator
at Abilene, Mrs. McCorkle as a
child played with an operators
headset and switchboard plugs
along with her dolls and toys. Her
playpen was a telephone plant
storeroom at Rotan, Texas, where
her mother, Mrs. Annie Hull, was
then night operator.
By the time she was II Wynel-
lie was putting up connections at
the switchboard, studying her
school lessons between calls, and
helping her mother receive bill
payments, report troubles, take or
ders for new service and collect
from pay stations.
Wynelle transferred to Abilene
in 1910, later moving with her Ma
rine husband to San Diego, Calf,
where she worked as a Bell long
distance operator. In 1915 Wynel-
lie returned to Abilene, where her
mother had been named chief oper-
ator shortly after the war, and is

Il WONDER" said another guy,
eff the governor of Georgia takes

Il he does, | bet he takes a
Negro along with him for good

"You al have your planes"
another said with emphasis. "For

"They amt no BETTER" said one

"That's why they're working so
hard to wipe out those jim crow

Negro can dide safer if he amt

Gears crash, too," the meek

yeah" the bartender an
swered, "but then it's only one

that retribution stuff. [ believe
that whenever Negroes r beaten
up or killed there's a big airplane
or train crash soon after where a
lot of white folks r killed"
"Me," said one fellow. II want

HOUSEHOLD
HINTS

A houseful of kiddies means a
houseful of pretty little house
coats and robes to keep clean. Cot
ton quilted, chenille, and terry
cloth robes can go in the washing
machine; so car .corduroys if you
will group them according to col
ors. Don't run corduroy through
a Wringer but hang it to drip dry.
Even wool flannel robes can be
safely washed if you'll squeeze
them throughlukewarm soap suds
and rinses by hand; use a soapy
soft brush on spots. Rayon crepe
and quilted robes can be washed
like fine lingerie in cool soap suds.
Press lightly with a low heat iron
while damp.
A clean robe makes a child want
to be clean, too!
Is your man a gift problem?
One wonderful solution is a wash
able nylon brief Casa welcome
gift whether he's 10 or 80. It's
durable and roomy with sturdy
extension locks for protection.
Wash as often as necessary with a
damp soc ~ cloth. The plastic
handle is washable, too.
If your ironer isn't a clean as
it should be, clothes may pick up
stains as they're fed through.
Starch, scorch, and dye spots, left
on the metal she and roll cover
from previous ironings, are more
apt to rub off on damp laundry.
So wipe the metal shoe with a
sudsy cloth after each use, as soon
as it's cool enough. Wipe with a
clean damp cloth; then polish with
a dry one.
If you keep spare covers on tap
for your ironer roll, you'll always
have a fresh supply to draw from
when you sit down to iron. Wash
it after each use, and you'll never
have to worry about soiling your
clean laundry anew.

 Navy Oil in Alaska
 The Defense Department ap- propriation bill which passed the House last week carries $12,200,- 900 for operation of Naval Petro- leum Reserve No. and the AL aska Communication System.
 Approximately 10 shallow and medium depth wells are plan ned by the Navy in it's expjlora- tion for oil in the Arctic in seek ing funds for the 1853 fiscal year. The Department had requested $8h million for this work which was cut by the House to $7k million.

before the House Appropriations Committee on the request stated that a 30 million to 100 million barrel oil field has been discover ed in Umiat on the Colville River. In addition, the Navy has dis covered natural gas in five wells, one of which is considered par ticularly significant just east of the Umiat field. Another signifi- cant location" he declared, 'is in the Barrow, area, in which natural gas is being used in the operation of our camp"
 Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 1, which is approximately 37,000 square miles in area, was set aside by presidential executive order in 1923. In addition, accord ing to Captain Meade. there are approximately 5000 square miles set aside by public land order in 1943 made available to the Navy for exploration. Cap tain Meade, stated to the mem bers of the committee that should the results in the area withdrawn in 1943 for oil exploration so

Area Outside Palmer To Have Free Fire
 Protection Two Years

The City Council last week decided to extend to the area outside the city limits free fire protection service for a two-year period, ending January l, 1854.
 Earlier, when the Council &C., cepted the terms of the now de- funct Valley Fire Association at the time the equipment was turned over to the city, it had been agreed that service would continue outside the city. It had not been decided, however, whether. or not non-residents of the city would have to pay the fire associations former member ship fee of $10 yearly or the $75 fee for a single fire call. This point has now been clarified. Along with city residents, those outside the city limits will have free fire protection for two years "as long as city properties are not endangered"
 Asked about the relative num- Der of calls to the city and to the area outside by the fire associa- ton. Al Hagan stated that about two calls had been made outside the city area to one inside.

About 25 women employees and wives of the Alaska Agricul- tural Experiment Station gather ed at the administration building Monday afternoon to honor Mrs. s. B. Fracker, wife of the assistant to the Administrator, Agricultur- al Research Administration, with a tea.
 On her first visit to Alaska, Mrs. Fracker said that the Terri tory with its immensity and beauty has an overpowering ef- feet on her.

Yukon Breok-Up New Source of Gold For AIosko's Crippled

With the 1852 break-ups of the Cinema and the Tanana now his tory-at least-attention of do- posters is now focused on the Yukon River.
 The world famous Yukon River, so often depicted by the great novelists in their writings of the North country, James Oliver Cur wood and Jack London, is about to be the source from which gold is derived once again-Sometime in the not distant future, when this 1900 mile-long-giant breaks its icy water barriers, sending millions of tons of water racing toward the Boring Sea-the 1852 winner of the ice guessing con- test will be determined.
 This contest is sponsored by the Mckinley Foundation, and bene- fits the Alaska Crippled Chil- dren's Association.
 At this time the ice in the Yu- kon is still quite solid, as the water has not started to rise as yet. Also there is not much rum off at this time from the melting snows on the banks of the river.
 These recent reports emulate from the United States Commis- sioner's Office, directly at Fort Yukon, and are sent to the Me Kinley Foundation in Anchorage.

Swan Lake Project

Delegate Bartlett has urged that necessary reviews of the proposed Swan Lake power pro- ject near Ketchikan be expedited in the hope that there will be time to try to obtain congression- al authorization before the ses- sion ends.
 However, the favorable Bureau of Reclamation report has to be reviewed by territorial officials and members of the Federal h. ter-Agency River Basin Commit tee before transmittal to the Presi- dent through the Bureau of the Budget and then to the Congress for authorization. Bureau of Re- clamation officials in Washington fear that the time element is such that these steps may not be ac- complished before adjournment of Congress.
 Anchorage Jail
 The Senate has been asked 10 include $84,000 in the Justice De- partment appropriation bill for the 1853 fiscal year as a supple mental appropriation for con- struction of the new federal jail at Anchorage.
 Congress last year appropria+- ed $400,000 for new jail to house 43 inmates. The original plans had called for. a $950,OOO build ing, but Congress allowed only $400000, necessitating revision of plans. Although construction plans have been drastically re- vised," the presidential request stated, it appears that an addi- tional $84,00O will be required to build a complete jail. as directed by the Congress. This is mainly due to extremely high construc- tion costs prevailing in Alaska. :"
 U. of Alaska Funds
 The House passed this week and sent to the Senate Delegate Bartlett's bill which would place Alaska on a par with the States and Hawaii in the matter of al- lotment of funds for agriculture instruction at land grant colleges.
 The law. which would be amended was enacted in 1895 and omitted Alaska from its provi- sions presumably because of the then small population of that Territory" according to the com mittee report.
 Since 1885," the report con- tinued, there has been sharp increase in the population of Alaska and the Territory has also assumed tremendous strategic inn portance. There is the possibility of much more agricultural devel- opmeht in Alaska than now exists and it is in the interest of a sound national economy and na- tional defense to utilize the agri- cultural possibilities of the Ter ritory to the fullest"
 The share of the Territory un- der the House-approved bill would amount to $21,500 a year to be granted to the University of Alaska for instruction pur- poses. The University receives $50, ,O00 each year for the same purpose under separate law, and if the bill passed this week is enacted, the total grant to the University for educational pur- poses would be $71,500.
 ACS Bill
 Chairman Vinson of the House Armed Services Committee at the of the Department of De- fense has introduced a bill auth $4,517,000 for construction of living quarters, operational buildings and utilities at 30 sta tions of the Alaska Communica- tions System.
