"AUNT ABBY”, .MISS VIR
GINIA CALKINS WILL
BE PUBLIC SURPRISE
Friends of Miss Virginia Calkins'
win be pleased and surprised
when they see her play the part j
of "Aunt Abby’"Ainsley in "Aunt;
Abby Answers An Ad,” to be pre-1
sefnted at the High School Gym
nasium, Saturday, May 15 at 8:30
P. M. After careful considera
tion, Virginia Calkins, was chos
en to play this funny part, as
she will do justice to the scream-1
ingly funny comedy lines andj
situations that this new play con- j
tains. Those who have seen j
parts of the rehearsels whisper,
that she will be a "Scream” in
this part of the man-hating old1
maid, who suddenly, late in life,1
gets bitten by the “love bug”
and is more kittenish and jubil
ant than a sixteen-year-old over'
her new-found joy. Although
the part of Aunt Abby is a riot
of laughter, it is not the only
funny role in the play.
The part of Lucindy Lovejoy,,
a sour-faced spinster, who has.

been Aunt Abby’s housekeeper
for years,- is another screamingly
funny part. She has been reared
with Aunt Abby’s ideas against
men, but she, too, suddenly turns
when Aunt Abby does and to
watch the two of them suddenly
come under the spell of love is a
sure cure for the greatest grouch
in the world. The part of Lu
cindy has been entrusted to Muss
Vesta Poison and advance re
ports have it that she will con
vulse the audience with laughter.
The price of admission to the
play “Aunt Abby Answers An
Ad” is a gild-edlged laugh invest
ment that will soar in value with
each succeeding act. In one town
where this funny play was pre
sented, a man was heard to ex
claim, “I’ve laughed enough to
last me a month.” What better
endorsement can we give? See
this grand play, played by an ex
cellent cast and directed with
extreme care by Miss Mildred
Scott. You won’t regret it.

PROSPECTORS RUSHING
INTO GQODNEWS BAY
BETHEL, May 15--Stampeders
and prospectors are moving into
the G'od'news Bay section by
plane, with a tent city springing
up and a shortage of food.
There are no potatoes, flour,
sugar or beans, and no place for
men unless they brng their own
tents and supplies.
The supply boat does not ar
rive until the middle of May and
everything will be at a standstill
until then.
All present predictions are bas
ed on the original strike last fall,
which showed values up to $3 a
yard in platinum.
In the gold bearing area, 20 to
30 miles north of Goodnews Bay,
in the Watamoose and Arolic dis
tricts, results reported so far look
like a big development there.
Extensive prospecting is being
done by several large outfits on
the strength of last year's results,
including one $+0,000 prospecting
program.

RADIO TROUBLE
SEATTLE, April 30—Comment
ing on recent and present diffi
culties in connection with short
wave radio communication be
tween the States and Alaska, L.
C. Herndon, inspector in charge
of the Seattle offices of the Fed
eral Communications Commission
said today that short wave radio
reception at present is the poor
est in a decade. He attributed
the difficulties to sun spots. He
said: “In some way or other,
sun spots affect certain ionized
layers about the earth, thus less
ening its power to reflect signals.”
Editor's Note—Today the Nug
get was informed by the local
radio station that short wave re
ception this morning was prac
tically impossible and that only |
a small amount of news dispatch
es for the Daily Nugget were re
ceived. However, the atmosph
ere apparently changed later ir.
the day and the Nugget's dis
patches came through.
