Soprano Next Artist
On Alaska Music Trail
Greta Mcnzel. lyric soprano,
next on the Alaska Music Trail
series, will sing here on Nov.
21. Miss Menzel’s lovely voice
and personal charm have won
for her many successes in opera,
concerts and leider festivals.
Early in her career she be
came the primadonna of the fam
ous Vienna State Opera and was
chosen by Herbert Van Karajan,
director of the opera, to sing the
soprano part in a famous per
formance of Beethoven's Ninth
Greta Menzel
Symphony with the Opera House
orchestra, a tasking part and
one coveted as a great honor in
a city which draws artists from
all parts of the world seeking
recognition of their talent. Next,
the Salzburg Music Festival
where Mozart music has had
first place since 1877, engaged
the artist for leading roles and
her singing was described as
•‘beautifully interpreted with
greatest artistry.”
An American tour in “Cosi
Fan Tutte” by Mozart followed
under the direction of Paul
Csonka. founder of the Salzburg
Opera Guild. Upon her return
to New York from this coast to
coast circuit where each per
formance was marked by a fine
success, the New York City Cen
ter Opera engaged Miss Menzel
as their primadonna and her
debut was made in "La Boheme"
as Mimi. "The high spot of the
production was Greta Menzel s
singing of Mimi.' ” to quote
Robert Colem m, noted critic of
the N Y. Daily Mirror's music
column.
Miss Menzi I s opera roles in
clud lisa" in Lohengrin, a
Wagnerian 1 acting part which

voice: "Cho-Cho-San” the ap
pealing and tragic Madam But
terfly role: "Carmen" in Bizet -
opera; "Louis ■” from Charpen
, tiers opera, of that name, and
many others. Arias from her
operatic repertoire will be .in

"ESKIMO SCOUTS" PERFORM
HOME FRONT MISSIONS
BEYOND THE LINE OF DUTY
HEADQUARTERS, ALASKA
NATIONAL GUARD—At scat
tered outposts and villages in
Northern Alaska men of the
"Eskimo Scouts” of the Alaska
National Guard perform a mis
sion of surveillance of coastal
areas and submit reports of all
unusual events. Last week Ser
geant First Class Lloyd S. Davis
of Selawik, a member of the
First Scout Battalion, sent in
his routine report to headquar
ters.
"Nothing unusual this month
to report,” he wrote, then added,
"On the second of October I saw
the fire about nine miles north
west of Selawik. I called all the
Guardsmen and went there with
four outboards (motorboats) and
fight tiie fire. We stopped it
with the little help of snow. It
burned about a mile wide and
about 10 miles long. We fight
it for seven and one-half hours
and it was started by reindeer
herders."
To tliis routine report SFC
Davis added, "On October 12
we heard nine rifle shot in the
evening about 10 p.m. after it
was reported to me by one of
the boys and called the Guards
men. The river was closed that
time, so we took Samuel Ballots’
boat, who is not in the National
Guard, to break the ice with.
Also Pvt. David Gricsto’s out
board. Those shot was made by
woman whose sister was spit
ting blood about four miles up
the river. We break ice all the
way through and gel the sisters
and their mother safe to village."
SFC Davis probably feels that
nothing ever happens in Selawik.
COAST GUARD CAPTAIN
STRESSES PREVENTION OF
MARINE DISASTERS
Captain George B. Dick,
USCG, representing the Com
mandant, 17th Coast Guard Dis
trict at the League of Cities Con
vention, gave a brief but in
teresting history of the Coast
Guard in the United States and
in Alaska.
“During the past fiscal year,”
Captain Dick stated, “172 flights
over 200,000 miles was made in
Alaska. Coast Guard cutters in
the Territory carried out 27
searches and towed 08 disabled
vessels to safety. Cutters and
aircraft transported 132 serious
medical cases, saved 2V2 million
dollars worth of property and
saved 33 lives from the absolute
perils of the sea and rigors of
Alaska’s gentle weather.”
Much of this rescue activity
would not have been necessary
had the theory of “an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of
cure” been observed on the sea.
The Coast Guard was repre
sented for the first time at a
League Convention, and on in
vitation from the League, as
many member cities are coastal
towns dealing directly or in
directly with search and rescue
operations and explosives regu
lations.
“it is the duty of the Coast
Guard,” Captain Dick remarked,
“to find out and understand
your local problems and condi
tions and the effect of new regu
lations upon them. On the other
hand, if we can present our en
forcement emblems to you. give
you the knowledge of the re
sponsibilities imposed by Con
gress upon the Coast Guard, a
better understanding on your
part is possible.”
