Champs Shopping
For States Games
SEATTLE, (A*)—The coach of
the Anchorage High School bask
etball team, which took the All
Alaska title and added a couple I
of more victims in Canada, is
shopping for Stateside games for,
his squad next year.
Coach Bud Ottmar was busy
making contacts in Seattle after
seeing his squad win post-season
games over Vancouver’s John
Oliver High School 64-51 and over
the Mission Valley All-Stars71-55.
Referring to his plans for State
side games next year, Ottmar said
“it gives the team a chance to
make a trip outside.” •
“Some of the boys,” he said,!
haven’t been outside in 10 to 15
years.”
Ottmar said a Washington State |
rule limiting post-season competi
tion prevented his scheduling
games in the State this year. He
plans to line up state games to be,
played during the regular season
next year.
The Anchorage coach was
pleased with his boy’s perform
ance in Canada. The Mission Val
ley team was made up of star
players from four schools.
Ottmar, who formerly coached
in the midwest, said “They play
a good style of basketball in Alas
ka because that’s all they play.”
He was referring to lack of foot
ball to interrupt practice. i

Argentina Devel
ops Atom Energy
BUENOS AIRES, (/P)— Presi
dent Juan D. Peron said Saturday
Argentine scientists had succeed
ed in obtaining the “controlled re
lease of atomic energy. This indi
cated Argentina is trying to de
velop atomic energy for use by
industry as a source of power.
Peron told a news conference
that scientists working at a pilot
plant 850 miles from Buenos Aires
had produced atomic energy by a
new method unknown to other
countries and much cheaper than
that employed by the United
States, Russia and Britain.
He gave no details. Peron said
the new method is based on
thermo-nuclear reactions identi
cal to those whereby the sun re
leases atomic energy.
“Thermo-nuclear” is a routine
word used by scientists to de
scribe what happens in or to the
nucleus of an atom. It gives no
special clue as to the method of
atomic fission involved.
(In Washington, an Atomic En
ergy spokesman had no comment
on Peron’s announcement.

Beta Sigma Phi
Members of Alaska Chapter of
Beta Sigma Phi were entertained
last Thursday evening by Miss
Eileen Uttech in her home, which
was charmingly festive with fresh
spring flowers. Mrs. Charles
Reader assisted as co-hostess.
During the business meeting,
plans were discussed for a forth
coming formal Founder’s Day
dinner; and Mrs. Terry Fisher,
newly elected president of the
Northwestern Alaska Fair Asso
ciation, was pledged the coopera
tion of the sorority in planning
for a special and new Fair pro
ject to be presented by the soror
ity. Mrs. Joseph K. Hunt, Miss
Ellen Waldheim, and Miss Mary
Roell were named to a committee
to further this project
“Literature” as the topic of dis
cussion for the evening, with Miss
Linda Musgrave and Mrs. Joseph
Hunt giving talks on Poetry and
Drama. Miss Musgrave presented
poetry as not just words on paper,
but as part at everyday life, point
ing out in an absorbing way how
poetry can excite pleasure by
beautiful, imaginative and eleva
ted thoughts., and how one who
is attune to poetics can lead a
richer and fuller life.
Mrs. Hunt concisely defined
Drama as. that art which holds
a mirror up to nature, tracing the
development of drama down
through the ages, and explaining
how a love for good drama can be
acquired, thus increasing one’s ap
preciation for and understanding
of the finer things of living.
An interesting general discus
sion of the two art forms was led
by tMiss Musgrave, after which
the hostesses served refreshments
and a social hour ensued.
About 1,150 specias of flowers
bloom in Yellowstone National
Park.
