THE STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER
The war is ended—The peace has
come . . .
We continue to go about our various
duties with rejoicing in our hearts, yet
we are sobered by the thought that days
may lengthen into years before the en
tire world may enjoy the fruits of our
so-called total victory. We know that
with every end there must necessarily be
a new, clean start. Therefore we must
pray fervently for the certainty of ever
lasting peace throughout the world.
As we begin to realize in a small per
centage, the meaning of peace, we become
conscious of our responsibility for the
future, to see to it that the world is freed
from it's enemies, those who would keep
the people in ignorance and fear and war.
The boys and girls who have brought
us peace have played their important
part . . . the hard part . . . yet theirs is
also a continuing part, as follows . . .
Isaiah 2:4. . . and they shall
beat their swords into plow
shares and their spears into
pruning hooks; nation shall not
lift sword against nation, nei
ther shall they learn war any
more . . .”
Today, with peace a reality, the peo
ples of the world may look forward to a
period, without end, of better living, an
eternity of world-wide understanding of
the true meaning of friendship, the spirit
that is to make the peace an unending
conclusion to the last of all wars.
We will do our part to make this a
happier and better place in which to live
and see to it that the sacrifices of the
peoples of the world have not been in
vain.
“Peace, peace no less than war, must
offer a spirit of comradeship, a spirit of
achievement, a spirit of unselfishness,
and indomitable will to victory.”
—Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
“We shall rise in the name of free
dom, and the East shall be alight with
the glory of our liberation.”
—General Douglas MacArthur.
“With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy
forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed
and racial arrogances. Lead us to the saving of our country,
and with our sister nations into a world unity that will spell
a sure peace—-a peace invulnerable to the scheming* of un
worthy men. And a peace that will let all men live in freedom,
reaping the just rewards of their honest toil.

HOLLYWOOD
STAR-LTtES
By CHUCK COCHARD
Part of Hollywood folklore is
the belief that the way to be a
movie star is to get discovered.
Just belong to the interesting
sex, wear a red sweater and sit at
a soda fountain and become a star
like Lana Turner. Or send your
picture to a paper and be sent to
Hollywood like Ann Sheridan.
Thousands of gals can sit at:
fountains until the soda jerks
grow whiskers and not be discov
ered. . . . And the list of school
teachers who became stars by
sending pictures to papers con
sists solely of Annie Sheridan.
Most of the big stars in Holly
wood got that way by hard work
and sticking to it . . . Bette Davis
won out through hard work .. . and
she had enough trials to discour
age anyone less determined . . .
Clark Gable took a real kicking
around on the way to the top . . .
Spencer Tracy made a lot of
“quickies” before he was recog
nized as a star.
Ingrid Bergman started to learn
Shakespearean roles at the age
of 12 . . . Van Johnson danced
through the chorus to bit stage
roles to win the Bobby Soxers
at last . . . Jennifer Jones and
Bob Walker, her ex-husband,
struggled through radio soap op
eras to fame . . . Frank Sinatra
sang his heart out night after
night with the bands of Harry
James and Tommy Dorsey before
someone thought he had a differ
ent voice. . . . Gregory Peck was
a barker at the New York World’s
Fair and a guide through Radio
City in N. Y., to earn fees for dra
matic lessons.
The list is much longer than
that—of course . . . Like every
thing else worthwhile, wooing
fame as a thespian is mostly sweat
and those dull, old copy book
rules—I’m sorry to break up
those illusions.
f T
His Stand At The Keys
Cornel Wilde, who played Cho
pin in “A Song to Remember,’
gets a lot of kidding about the
piano-playing he didn’t do in that
wonderful film . . . Whenever he
enters a room where there is a
piano he is invited to play.
“Can’t do it,” he replies. “For
got to bring Iturbi with me.”

Some Chambermaid
It may seem strange that in
“The Diary of a Chambermaid”
Paulette Goddard wears more
fancy feminine finery than ever
before, in fact 30 costumes in suc
cession, each one more dazzling
than the last . . . What a Cham
bermaid!
* * *
Round The Lois
Cary Grant sings four songs in
“Night and Day” . . . Major Mel
vin Douglas back in Washington
from the India theater . . . Mar
garet O’Brien will star in “Tenth
Avenue Angel” . . . George Mur
phy will co-star with Ann Sothem
in “Up Goes Maisie” . . . Spencer
Tracy will star in “Out of Hell”
... on the New York stage . . .
Ethel Barrymore will make one
picture a year in movie-land . . .
First will be “Some Must Watch”

Uranium Ore
May Be Evident
In Alaska
In late July and early August
mineral investigations were made
by the Territorial Department of
Mines in the Chandalar district.
About 35 gold-bearing quartz
veins, in a compact and well-min
eralized area about 7 miles long
and two and one-half miles wide
were examined.
An attempt* to determine the
origin of a specimen of carnotite,
one of the minerals containing
uranium, the element said to be
an essential ingredient of the new
atomic bomb, is also unddtway.
In 1918, George Gotto, a Russian
working on the construciton of the
Alaska Railroad near Healy, sub
mitted a specimen of the ore for
identification at Fairbanks. Gotto
died in 1920 at Nenana during the
influenza epidemic of that period.
No location or other information
was given and friends of Mr.
Gotto still in the Territory will
provide the only means of tracing
thr occurrence.
Carnotite is a canary-yellow
mineral, earthy in appearance. It
sometimes occurs in or near coal
bearing rocks.
