High School To Present
Lively Comedy,
“He Couldn’t Marry Five’’
“He Couldn’t Marry Five,” is
the amusing title of the three-act
comedy to be produced by the stu
dents of Nome High School at the
high school gymnasium on Friday
evening, March 21. The title de
scribes the major plot of the play
which is all about a young man
who goes to visit a family with five
eligible daughters and falls in love
with each and every one of them!
To make things worse, the sis
ters all fall in love with the young
man—or think they do. If this is
not a complicated situation for any !
young men to find himself in, we’d
like to know what is. It seems
hopeless, but after many laugh
able situations, everything finally
straightens out to everybody’s sat- j
isfaction through the common
sense advice of the girls’ grand
mother.
Those taking part in the play
are: Phyllis Roell, Jane Scott, Julia

New Alaska RR.
Receives Boost
SEATTLE, Talk of tho fre
quently discussed railroad to Alas
ka was enlivened again today w th
report that an American company
I has made a formal written offer to
buy the Provincially-owned Pacif
ic Great Eastern Railway and ex
tend it into the Peace River coun
try and to Fairbanks, Alaska.'
The reports were published in
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Ii
added, however, there was no indi
cation in Victoria, as to how seri
ously the Provincial government
was viewing the offer.
Premier John Hagt would not
comment on the report, but earlier
yesterday had informed Glenn
Carrington, of the Alaska commit
tee of the Seattle Chamber of Com
merce, that his government had
not granted an option on the Pa
cific Great Eastern, nor discussed
land grants with any promoters.
The Post-Intelligencer said the
promoters are the Canadian-Amer
:can Railroad and Development
Company, a Delaware corporation
incorporated two years ago. It re
portedly. has the backing of sev
erai large eastern underwriting
firms and banks.
The 347-mile long Pacific Great
Eastern runs from the head of
Howe Sound, 40 miles from Van
couver, to Quesnel, B. C., 80 miles
from Prince George. It has long
been regarded as a valuable “link”
in any proposed railroad from the
Pacific Northwest to Alaska.
Fairbanks Royalty
Entertains Seattle
SEATTLE, (^P)—A Hindu snake
charmer setting up business in the
lobby of Seattle’s New Washing
ton Hotel wouldn’t have created
more of a hubbub than did five
charmers from Alaska.
They were Donna Diamond,
queen of last week’s winter carni
val at Fairbanks, and the other
four gems designated as princess
es: Dorothy Grabowski, Shirley
Ilolmstrom, Helen Lewis and Shir
ley Ann Tonseth.
Theoretically the trip here was
a rest from the strain of the car
nival celebration, but the proces
sion of breakfasts, luncheons, din
ners, dances, tours and even a
fashion show lined up as enter
tainment makes it appear they’ll
get their first rest when they re
turn to Fairbanks this Sunday.
Pope Gives Views
On World Affairs
(World Copyright, 1947,
By The Associated Press >
VATICAN CITY, </P)—On the
eve of the eighth annivarsary ol
his coronation, Pope Pius XII
told the Associated Press today
that nations must surrender some
of their sovereign rights if a just
and lasting peace is to be achieved.
The development of the destruc
tive atomic weapons, with the to
tal war they threaten, should per
suade the leaders ol nations of
their obligation to reach agree
ments insuring peace, he said.
In the last year—the first entire
year of the Pope’s reign in which
there was no declared warfare—
there has been no marked improv
rnent in the world’s outlook for
peace, he said.
Tiie Pontiff evidently was pre- 4
occupied over the prospects for the
Moscow conference ol foreign min
isters, which opened yesterday.
He nodded assent to comment
that the circumstances of the con
ference’s beginning did not augur
well for solid achievements in the
I shaping of peace.

Soviet Ambassador
Leaves London
LONDON, —Russian diplomatic
sources disclosed that Georgi Za
i gubin, Soviet ambassador to Bri
| tain, left London suddenly for
I Moscow early today.
The Soviet embassy staff was
j not available for comment, but
other Russian’s said Zarubin’s re- 4
turn to Moscow was “for consulta
I lions in connection with the for
eign ministers’ conference.”
He left London by train.
The Russian embassy in Wash- *
ington advised the U. S. State De
partment yesterday that the Sov
iet ambassador to the United
States, Nikolai V. Novikov, would
leave Thursday for Moscow.
The Russian sources here said
Zarubin, who assumed the ambas
sadorship here in January, was
“no particular expert” on German
and Austrian affairs, which are
the subjects for the four-power
talks.
Therefore, they said, it could be
assumed his consultations with
foreign minister V. M. Molotov
would be “strictly routine.” They
said the British government had
been informed of Zarubin’s inten
tion to leave.
