The Cast
By Harry Macarthur

The truth may as well be
known. When Senator Kefauver
made his Crime Investigating
Committee box Office attraction
on television he also made it the
inspiration for some notable
crimes. This is a sad fact. but you
can verify it for yourself at the
Warner, where the latest of these
crimes is being perpetrated sew
eral times daily. It's name is THE
System" and its offense is trite-
ness.
It Is difficult to avoid some
eliches in the making of movie
melodrama. but THE System"
fairly wallows in them. In some
areas Of it Scenarist 10 Eisinger

Frank Lovejoy. dependable
actor, but also one who has to eat,

titious Midwestern city. After 20
years of peaceful operation, he
suddenly is confronted with a
newspaper campaign against
gambling. The publisher will lis
ten to reason If the gambler will
stop courting his daughter Joan
Weldon. The gambler will not
play this way, however, which
Miss Weldon's presence makes a
fairly plausible attitude.
Before it is all over a crusad-
ing newspaper reporter, the gam
bler's old friend, has been shot
by an imported COON: the gam
bler'S son has shot himself. and
the gambler is singing prettily for
the ediflcation of the State Sen
ate Crime Committee. You often
have the feeling that you have
been here before. once too often.
These movies inspired by the
Crime Investigating Committee
seem to fight off originality at
every turn. One of the rules for
instance is that you have to have
an impersonator of Senator
Tobey representing stern right
eousness on the interrogating
panel. THE System" doesn't
bother to break it.

PARKING WITHIN RESTRICTED AREAS WILL COST MONEY

Parking within a restricted area over the past weekend cost a few motorists $2.50 apiece and kept the city police department busy writing tickets.
 This section of the city's new traffic ordinance seems to draw the largest number of offenders in spite of the fact that all re- stricted areas within the city have large signs erected in in- forming drivers of the regions in which they may not park.
 There is no parking area between the ARRC office build ing and the Palmer Fountain in the Coop area. Another one is to be found on the corner of Wasilla Road and Colony Street near the Horton property. There is no parking in front of the fire station nor within Is feet of fire hydrants.
 There were no reported acci. dents within the city during the past holiday.

$30,000 Equipment Arrives For New Valley Hospital

Calling the railroad depot this week to determine the expected arrival date of equipment being shopped from Seattle for the new Valley Presbyterian Hospital, Jack Newcomb, acting hospital administrator learned that equip ment valued in excess of $30,000 had arrived and was awaiting at the depot. The shipment had talk en only II days, coming to Alas ka via Alaska Steamship Line and into Palmer on the Alaska Railroad.
 Because the equipment arrived before expected, and rather than attempt storage in an incompleted section of the new hospital, space in the Valley Fair building was arranged for by Newcomb. Trans portation of the 314 pieces of equipment was started this nor ming. Weighing approximately 1000 pounds, the shipment re- quired close to two railroad cars for transfer from Seward to Pal mer.
 The shipment included nearly all the equipment that has been ordered, Newcomb said. Only a few pieces remain to be shipped. Equipment for the modern hos pital kitchen was included in the shipment; also bedside cabinets i in attractive colers, beds, mattres- ses, stel@izers, sanesthetist table and various other fixtures and pieces of equipment.
 The shipment was originally scheduled to leave Seattle No vember 1 and at the request of the hospital board had been de- layed twice to enable completion of the hospital interior before trying to set up the equipment.
 Newcomb said they hope to be ready for installation by the first of March. Now we will be able to move each piece into place as space is ready" he said today. The hospital contractor hopes to have the construction work com- pleted by March 1.

Urges Early Purchase Of Vehicle Licenses

Although 1854 vehicle license tags do not have to be attached to Alaska motor vehicles until February 28, they are now avail able at the office of the U. S. Commissioner and may be at- tached any time after purchase.
 To avoid last minute rushing or delays, U. s. Commissioner Dorothy Saxton suggested this week that owners license their vehicles as soon as possible.
 For the first time in the terri tory, numeral tags will be issued this year. They will be attached over the 1853 date in slots al- ready provided. No tags will be issued without the license receipt which by law must, be attached to the steering post of all licensed vehicles. 1853 plates are available for those licens.A4g vehicle for the first time.

UNITED EFFORT
 SOUGHT FOR LOCAL RECREATION PLAN

Plans for a united community effort to provide recreational facilities in the Palmer area were projected at an exploratory meet ing held last Sunday afternoon at the Charles Wilson home.
 Members of several organiza- tions and groups were called to- gether informally to discuss the feasibility of going ahead with a specific large-scale project out lined at a P-TA meeting this past spring. This project was a combination one provided for permanent ice skating facilities on a surfaced area-large enough for hocky-that could be convert ed into five tennis courts in sum- mer. Estimated cost for materials on such a project, including 12- foot back stop fence and lights, was somewhere between $3,50O and $4,000.
 It was agreed by all present that this project was only one of number that could best be handled through recreation committee or council representing all organizations and interested groups in the area. To speed the .organization~of such committee, invitations will be sent to all or ganizations and church group: asking them to send a represent tative particularly interested 1T the recreation problem to meet ing scheduled for Sunday, Janu -ary 31, at 200 pm. in the Co-OI club room.
