Gene Sundberg, parade chairman,
announced today.

Replies to the letters are needed

less than a month left before the
big event, Chairman Sunberg
pointed out. All interested in pro
viding any type unit or float for the
parade may indicate their inten
tion by calling Sgt. Bill Anderson,
at the National Guard Armory,

The parade this year will form
at 9:30 a. m. on North Benson be
tween the Elk’s and the city hall,
and will travel up Alaska Way to
the Wodlinger corner, then turn
and go down to Marine Way, and
follow it to the disbanding point
in front of Kraft’s hardware. How
ever, the children’s section will
turn into the boat harbor area from
Marine Way to be judged.
“We want this to be the biggest
and best parade yet,” Chairman
Sundberg said, “and we will need
the cooperation of everyone to
make it so. We are particularly con
cerned about floats and marching
units and request again that those
wishing to participate let us know
just as soon as possible.”
Seeks Aid To Vets
Rep. Ralph J. Rivers (D-Alaska)
to-day announced that the commit
tee on Veterans’ Affairs of the
He use of Representatives has
granted his request for a hearing
on his bill which would restore the
authority of the Veterans’ Admin
istration to contract with local hos
pitals in Alaska and Hawaii for the
treatment of veterans having non
service-conneoted disabilities. The
hearing will be held on April 10.
This legislation is deemed neces
sary inasmuch as neither Alaska
nor Hawaii have any V. A. hospital
facility within 500 miles from their
borders.
AWAIT FATE—Dr. R. Bernard Finch and his mistress, Carole
Tregoff, git with downcast eyes in Los Angeles Superior court await
ing the start of a hearing which will determine their penalty for the
murder of Finch’s wife, Barbara. The same jury that convicted them
will hear arguments on the sentence from prosecution and defense
and then will decide whether it’s to be life or death for either or both.

Book Review
THE AGONY
AND THE ECSTASY
By Irving Stone
Published by Doubleday & Com
pany, Inc. A book of the Month
selection.
When commissioned to paint and
decorate the ceiling of the Sistine
Chapel by Pope Julius II, Michel
angelo protested, “I am a sculptor,
not a painter!” But there was no
way he could avoid the assignment;
the Pope demanded much but he
knew his man.
The frescoes Michelangelo pro
duced, ultimately involving 343 co
lossal figures within a complex
frame of simulated architecture,
absorbed nearly four years of his
life, and established him as the
greatest interpreter of his age, fus
ing magnificently the ideas of hum
anism and the Church, previously
kept apart.
In The Agony and the Ecstasy,
the Bookof-the-Mouth Club Selec
tion for April, Irving Stone re
creates the life and the times of
this great genius of the high Italian
Renaissance, and tells the story
of his fascinating and prodigious
achievements.
Born in 1475 of a family of noble
<but impoverished Florentine bur
ghers, Michelangelo Buonarroti
first proved his artistic skill as an
apprentice of the painter Ghirlan
daio. But his predominant interest
was sculpture, and very shortly he
left Ghirlandaio to accept the pat
ronage of the mightly Medici
family.
During the rest of his long life,
spent alternately in Florence and
Rome, ihe created some of the most
brilliant works of sculpture the
world has ever known. They in
clude Bacchus; David, his first co
lossus; the Pieta in Saint Peter’s;
Moses on the tomb of Pope Julius
II; and the allegorical figures on
the Medici tombs—Twilight and
Dawn, Night and Day.
But like his contemporary Leo
nardo da Vinci (who was twenty
three years his senior), Michel
angelo truly represents the univer
sal man of the Renaissance. He
was not only a great sculptor and
painter but a great draughtsman
and also a writer whose diaries,
correspondence and sonnets reveal
to us today much of his inner life.
Enjoying the patronage of the Vat
ican under seven popes as well as
that of many princely households,
chiefly the Medicis, he helped for
tify beleaguered cities and engine
ered roads over mountains that

were thought impassable. And in
1546, when he was 71 years old, he
was appointed chief architect of
Saint Peter’s whose majestic dome
is one of the architectural wonders
of the world.
Michelangelo was always a
lonely man, desperately plagued
by the financial demands of his in
effectual family. He suffered from
the jealousy of his contemporaries,
and to a certain extent from his
own envy of them, notably of Leo
nardo and Raphael. Frequently he
found himself the pawn in the
struggle for power among his var
ious rivaling protectors, who alter
nately paid generously for his serv
ices and withheld from him the
funds to buy the raw material—the
marble, the paints, the wax and
bronze and clay—that made his
work possible. The three women
he loved were denied him, and evil
insinuations all buit destroyed his
relationship with the young man
who was the inspiration of his old
age.
Irving Stone spent more than
two years in Italy with his wife,
Jean, doing research for writing
The Agony and the Ecstasy. An ex
acting craftsman, he spares no
pains to make his work accurate.
He is the author of the biograph
ical novels, “Lust for Life” and
“Sailor on Horseback” and others.
