Canada's Last SternWheeler To Be Retired

NELSON, B. C., LR- The s. S. Movie, Canada's only active sternwheeler, twirls it's paddle wheel for the last time come Sat urday to end a romantic era in western Canada transportation.
 The Canadian Pacific Railway is replacing it's Mississippi steam boat style craft with a screw propelled tug.
 The Movie was built in Toronto 50 years ago and was originally intended for gold rush service on the Stikine River between Wran- gell, Alaska, and Telegraph Creek, B.C.
 The gold fever cooled in those parts, however, before the Movie reached its destination and her 1000 dismantled parts were di- verted here where the ship was reassembled in 1898 for service on Kootenay Lake.
 For the past 59 years the pad dlewheeler, her single stack belching smoke, has churned up and down this 70-mile-long lake in southeastern British Columbia
 It has been estimated she trav- elled the equivalent of 50 times around the world.

Music Suffers as
 Benny Takes On LA. Symphony

LOS ANGELES, R-The Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra may never be the same.
 Jack Benny, 39-year-old violin ist of Waukegan, H., made guest appearance with the orches- tra last night at Philharmonic Auditorium. He played selections from Sarasate, Mendelssohn and Rimsky- -Korsakoff All three com posers lost.
 Such music lovers as Frank Sl- natra, James Stewart, Claudette Colbert, Dana Wynter, Clifton Webb, Gregory Peck, Ann Miller and Sam Goldwyn paid S100 a seat to hear Mr. Benny's West Coast debut as a concert artist. The event was for the benefit of Cedars of Lebanon Hospital.
 Charity netted a reported $100,- 900. What happened to music is another matter.
 Immaculate in white tie and tails, the violinist played vigor- ously while carrying on a running fued with the concert-master. The latter interrupted with violin so- los and was removed from the stage at the request of MT. Benny. The comedians stares were eloquent than his cadenzas. But here and there was evidence that 1 he might have gone further with the fiddle if he had applied him self more back in Waukegan.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
 By OLAF HALVORSON

In ancient times some nations believed that vast monster was devouring the friendly sun when an eclipse took place. Barbarous noises were made to frighten him away.
 For ages the sun was an ob- ject of worship and it was but natural that an eclipse would arouse fear to the inhabitants.
 Once every month there would be an eclipse of the sun when the moon comes to a phase called new, were it not for the fact that the moons orbit is inclined 1/7 per cent to the earth's orbit Eclipses occur when the moon is on or near the intersection of the orbits.
 Two solar eclipses are certain every year but they are visible only in certain parts of the earth. Several years have passed since we have witnessed a good eclipse in Nome. The eclipse on Monday, April 29, will cover almost half of the sun. The eclipse will begin at 12:38 p.m., will be at it's maxi mum at 1:45 pm. and will ter minate at 2:50 pm.
 Be prepared to witness this phenomenon with colored or smoked glasses.

CAB Indicates It May Lop $3OO,OOO from Mail Pay of Pacific Northern Airlines

WASHINGTON, R-The Civil Aeronautics Board indicated yes terday it may Top almost $3OO,O0 off the annual mail. pay of Pac- fife Northern Airlines of Anchor age.
 The board ordered the airline to show cause why it's mail rate should not be reduced.
 Last August the CAB proposed that effective Jan. l, 1856, Pacific Northern be granted $3,18O,O21 in mail pay annually. It said this would enable the airline to real iZe a net operating income of $836,991 a year along with a 10 per cent return on investment.
 Pacific Northern reported a net operating income of $1,136,456 for 1856. The CAB said it ap- pears, therefore, that the air lines financial circumstances have improved and it's subsidy re- quirements may have diminished.

Junk Man Tells

Ronald Marfisi, IT, Omaha. died
Iof electric shock while cuttingI
wire from power lines, police
were told last night.
Detective Inspector Ernest
Brown said Otto CHASER of
Omaha related that young Mar
lf1si died during an attempted
theft.
| The boy worked for CHASER,
who is a junk dealer.
/ The story of the 52-year-oldI
CHASER, as related to Inspector
Brown, was:
/ He and young Marflsi were on
a wire stealing foray and Chaser
sent the boy up a pole to cut
some dead wire away.
On the pole. Donald reached
for the wrong wire. 1t was a

CHASER. seeing the boys mis-
take, shouted. Donnie, Donnie,
don't do it."
i The warning was not in time.
i Donald's hand touched the
wire. There was a bright flash.
Then the boys body tumbled to
earth.
4 Panic stricken, CHASER loaded
the body into his small truck.
He sped to the Douglas County
Home for the Aged. He thought
it was a hospital. He dumped
the body and a severed hand in
the driveway and sped away.
Detective Brown quoted Chaser
as saying the pair went on 80. 10
or maybe IA jobs"
Police at first, finding the sew
cred hand, thought they might
have a revenge Staying to solve.
Medical examination proved
the boy died of electric shock and
questioning of Chaser brought
out the junk mans story.
