visions of this law, which may
soon be changed, if he earns all of
his money abroad and stays there
for 18 months, he pays no taxes
on this money. Many movie
personalities are reaping the
benefits of this law. Gable is one
who makes no bones about it.
''It's the only way now that
l can salt away a few hum
dred thousand smackers."
Uncle Sam and three divorce
settlements have taken a big bite
out of his wealth. But Gable is
hardly a poor man.
He is, however, a rather lonely
one. This is partly because he is
on the move so much, but mainly
because he finds it hard to make
overtures to people. On the set,
he never rests in his dressing
room, but sits on a camp stool
out in the open, rarely seeking
people out, but obviously pleased
when they come to talk to him.
Old Runner
RECENTLY, it has been rumored
that he might marry Joan Harri-
son, who has been his good friend
for years. 1t is not a new rumor;
cropped up once before prior to
his fourth marriage. His friends
doubt that he will marry again.
. It is a notable fact that not
only his ex-wives but his ex-girl
friends think we'll of him. So do
the men who know him. He is
neither a home-breaker nor a
philanderer. and he treats every
body, man or woman, with def
erence.
How this uncomplicated man,
with his simple tastes, got to the
top of his crazy profession is a
mystery. When he talks about it.
he sounds more like an auto
mechanic than an artist.
"The part will work out all
right for me-" he will say, ''if
they jack up the middle section" "
He knows what he's talking
about. The old wagon has been
running a long time, and is
still going strong. M-G-M.
like most of the companies, is
cutting its roster of stars. But
not Gable.
Whatever the terms of the new
contract are. Gable will dictate
them. Or else - no deal. When
the King steps down, it will be
with full colors flying. The End

Sportsmen Plan Sixth Game Dinner

The menu for the Matanuska Valley Sportsmens' sixth annual game dinner is starting to sound interesting with porpoise, beaver tails, moose nose and several other surprise dishes coming in each day. The dinner will be held in the Palmer school gymnasium Saturday night, October IF.
 The local sportsmen's associa- ton was formed in the Valley in January 28, 1948 with Dr. Foster Sims as it's first president. Meet ings were held in the basement of the Matanuska Hotel, which at that time had not been complet- ed. An interest in skiing started the building of a ski tow which has since been turned over to the Matanuska Ski club. A lively in- terest in trap shooting the first summer has built up into the present rifle club which shoots in matches against some of the high est Stateside teams.
 Annual affairs include the summer fish fry, held each year during the month of July.
 Their first game dinner was in- stigated by Bruce Graham and Clair Stock. For that dinner mem bers were not asked what they would bring, but rather were giv- en assignments that resulted in some hard work and scrambling to fill the orders. This year mem bers were asked to send in the name of the game dish they wish to furnish. Ninety-percent of the club membership is this week out trying to fill their assignments.
 The organization has worked hard toward conservation of game and fish. Its first and yer effec. tive project was mo shooting o1 ducks during Spring migration i This summer several members aided in the restocking of many lakes in the Valley area.
 Presidents of the association have been, in addition to Sims Clair Stock, Roy Brock and pres

Hunters, hunters and more hunters took to the hills this week as the big game hunting season opened September for caribou, moose, goats, brown and grizzly bear. The season follows the clos ure of the 12-day sheep hunting season.
 As early as Sunday morning, August 30, vehicles of all types, laden with hunting and camping equipment, were seen heading north on the Glenn highway, pre- sumedly toward the caribou coun- try around Eureka. Caribou hunt ing will continue in this area until September 30. Again this year only bulls may be taken. A check station will be manned by FWS agents at Lila Lake, Mile 122 on the Glenn highway.
 Moose hunters, not travelling as far a distance, held off until Monday. At all hours of the day, groups and individuals were seen preparing for their trips. Grocery and hardware stores reported brisk business in camping sup plies during the past three days. Moose season will remain open in this area only until September

compare with Cinerama in emo

Despite the few theaters, the
first cinerama production al

persons. and probably will be
shown to SO million before its

challenge, a great opportunity,
a great responsibility. We are
proud to be able to bring this

preciate your listing the old
theaters which we Washington
ians used to enjoy over a period
of 40 years, namely from 1912

they should be something like
this:
Legitimate theaters: Belasco,

Lieutenant General Washington

Very likely the most sympathetic readers
Of the story of George Washington's lost pro-
motion have been innumerable "shavetais, !"
the Second Lieutenants who invariably have all
the self-confidence of military genius but so
often find their talents unrecognized by all
ranks. But very likely, too, most of these same
"Shavetails" would rest happily if they could
feel quite sure that the only 154-year lag in
their deserved military advancement would
come between the ranks of Lieutenant General
and General.
AS for Lieutenant General Washington,
with all due respect to the As who outrank him
on the rolls of American Army commanders,
one may be sure that not even all the red tape
of a promotion system that appears to have
begged down in dealing with the man who was
first in war and first in peace" can dim the
quality of his pre-emnent leadership. 1t is
equally certain, too, that the man who eSchewed
the mantle of royalty would have been little
concerned had he known that some day there
would be others ranked above him on the mill
tary records. George Washington found his
destiny in being more than soldier and his
rank is secure as first in the hearts OF his
countrymen"
