CHICAGO, (jflP)—Spring arrived

ever, cloudy weather and siigh
snow covered an area comprisin;
Wisconsin and eastward into Ohio.
Temperatures generally were mod
crate and near or slightly be lor.

But the departing winter will be
remembered in many sections ol
the country as generally disagree
able.
New Planes For
Pan American
SEATTLE, (/P) — Four-engine
Douglas DC-4 clippers will replace
tw n-engine equipment on Pan
American World Airways’ Pacific
Alaska division, Thomas Wolfe,
divisional vice president, announc
ed today.
Service will begin as soon as
proving flights have been com
pleted and additional aircraft have
been added to the one DC-4 al
ready delivered, Wolfe said. The
new clippers will have triple the
load capacity of the old equipment
and will cruise 40 miles an hour
faster.
Army permission to use Lad.l
Field at Fairbanks made the new
-e vice possible. The four-engine
planes will clip three hours off i. >.
present 12 hour schedule to Fair
banks with intermeddle stops, and
four hours non-stop.
Venezuela accounts for nine per
cent of the world oil production.
High School Play i
8:15 p.m. Tonight |
—
A good laugh is good for the
soul. And there are at least a hun
ored good laughs in the three-act
comedy, ‘He Couldn’t Marry Five,’
wh'ch is to be given by the Nome
High School tonight at 8:15 p.m.
The title of this clever play alone
is enough to make one chuckle be
cause it brings to mind all sorts
of complications.
"Weil, ‘He Couldn't Marry Five’
more than lives up to its title—it
;.■> at the same time laughable and
coaming, crazy and enjoyable.
This is because it is so gay and
veil-written — its characters so
true to life. Yes, “He Couldn’t
Mar y Five” is a very human play
—one that amuses people while
s' tnig it, and they remember for
a long time afterward.
It is different from the run-of
tne-mill face comedies to which
we a e used because it i^ not ex
aggerated or overdone — it c^uld
happen, and who knows but what
it has? “He Couldn’t Marry Five”
is the type of play that appeals to
men, women, and children alike,
so bring the whole family—they’ll
be grateful to you for having given
them one of the most enjoyable
evenings of the year when they
see "He Couldn’t Marry Five.”
