you won't want to miss.
Such Sound and Light pro-
grams have become extremely
popular in many sections of
Europe, but the one presented
in Rome reaches the most
dramatic heights.
Five hundred spotlights play
alternately on various sections
of the vast Forum while go
sound diffusors offer the city's
story from the abduction of
the Sabine women to its pres
ent role as a religious center.
Running commentary is pre-
sented in English, French, Ger
man and Italian. Although the
entire program is outdoors, the
speakers are so effectively ar
ranged that you hear only the
language meant for the sec
tion in which you are seated.
The man just a short distance
away across the asile from you
is hearing it in another tongue.
Ancient Voices
The giant speakers within the
Forum itself recreate the ora
tory of such famed Romans as
Cato, Cicero and Marc Antony.
These roles are played by such
noted Italian actors as Vittorio
Gassman and Cesare DANCE
lantonie.
The program begins with a
single red light playing on the
Temple of Romulus. High point
Of the lighting comes as flick
ering red and violet lights
throughout the Forum depict
the nine-day fire that swept
Rome.
Included are Hannibal's de-
feat, Scipio's destruction of
Carthage, the 'Ides of March"
prophecy, Marc Antony's fu-
neral grafton, and the perse-
cution of the Christians. Sounds
in the night are those of rum
bling chariots. trumpeting bat
tie elephants, screams of Chris
tianS as they are thrown to the
lions, and, finally. the more
peaceful sound of church bells
in the finale.
Although there is no move
ment in the production, move-
ment is felt through the effec-
tive changes in lighting and the
sound as it moves from speaker
to speaker across the Forum.

Associated Press Juneau Summary

The second State Legislative sessions neared the end of second week with most of the major bills in committees.
 Most of the action so far is con- cerned with minor legislation as committees work to get more i'm portanA bills out of floor.
 Among bills likely up for con sideration are election code, con- troverSial employment security bill, the Governors appropriation bill calling for 46 million dollars in State spending next year, and a bill to establish the borough system of local government.
 Legislators also have before them two important and controversial reports by study groups. One is report of State Planning Commiss- ion outlining $323 million capital improvement program and pre- dieting tough sledding for state finances. The other report is by Local Boundary Commission which calls for annexations of two areas to Anchorage and one to Kodiak and start on establishing the bor-
  ough setup called for in the consti;, tuition. Under the constitution, an- nexation proposals go into effect within 45 days unless Legislature disapproves. Kodiak is listed as one of the first localities where 'unorganized boroughs will be es- abolished.
 A bill for creating an Alaska Ferry Authority has been intro duced. This would operate ferrys in Alaska.

Who Pays What?

A taxpayer is seeking interest on the purchase price of property obv tained at a City tax sale on May 26, 1856, which sale, he said, could not be validated.
 Tony Perez was the purchaser His contention in the above claim for the purchases not being valida- ted was that, in one instance, due to prior sale by the Marshall's office in Anchorage, which was unknown to the City until 1859, and in the other cases because the property was in the U.S.S 444 which is Russian Orthodox prop erty. Taxes had been assessed nevertheless, against the tenant.
 City Clerk Douglas Preston stated that Section 16-1-129 AC.L.A 1949 pr5vides for such interest to be paid upon redemption of the property within the prescribed two year period, but in the cases in question no redemption was made, as the sales had been invalid. Perez, he said, wished his original cost returned plus the interest at Is per cent per annum.
 The Council voted to instruct the City Clerk to consult the City Attorney for an opinion.

Tenant Scores Garbage Service

A dispute between an irate tenant and the garbage collector came before the City Council at the last meeting, when R. A. Lovern, tenant in question, appeared be fore the City group in protest.
 Lovern, who resides at 1851 North Blvd, stated that his gar haze service was. unsatisfactory. He said that his. house was the only one in the neighborhood thaa did not have a driveway. How ever, he said he placed his garbage can about. 15 feet from the road off the slope.
 The City Manager read the or dinance governing garbage collec' tion, which states the can shoMsd be placed as close as possible to an access road. He said it appeared that MT. Lovean's garbage was not placed art an unreasonable distance from the road.
 Construction by the Aleutian Homes Agency will be sought of a platform on which to place the can.

In previous issues, pictures OF
school groups of former years have

readers who identify themselves
or former classmates. Today, an

school and the date are known,
the names of most of these shown

Mrs. Jesse Woods, of Altamont.
who describes herself as a faithful
follower of the old picture series,
supplied the photograph. She said
it is of the Meadow Mountain
pupils, and was taken in 1912.
Although not in the photograph,
herself, she did recognize a few
of the students shown. Her sister,
the former Frances Powell, now
Mrs. Arthur Lake Of Belair, is
fifth from the right in the first
row.
Mrs. Woods said the teacher of
the group, who is shown to the
right center of the rear row, was
Miss Virgie McGcttigan. What
reader can supply identification
for the entire group?
