ta. Trigger will be there too, of
course.

toughest hombrtes in the picture,

Tuesday and Wednesday
“So This Is Paris,” which comes
to the local screen Tuesday and
Wednesday, stars Tony Curtis,
Gloria De Haven, Gene Nelson,
Corinne Calvert and night club
and TV comedian Paul Gilbert. It
is described as three sailors on a
romp, three gals in love and five
little orphans in trouble.
Against lavish settings of Par
isian streets, bistros, landmarks
and luxury living, Curtis, Nelson
and Gilbert cavort as only three
footloose American gobs on a
three-day pass can cavort. A gen
erous parade is promised, of song
and dance specialties and spec
tacles punctuate the romancing
from the time the ship hits shore.
In a hilarious comic solo Paul
Gilbert plays the trumpet, juggles
crockery and sings operatic and
longue twisting lyrics in a num
ber called “I Can’t Do a Single
(But I’ll Try).”
A lively pace is set by director
Richard Quine. The picture was
produced by Universal-Internation

Logan Advocates
Trade School Here
Establishment of a trades school
in Kodiak was advocated by Bob
Logan, before members of the Ro
tary Club at the meeting of that
body last Tuesday.
Logan, a familiar figure in Ko
diak, who has traveled extensively
in connection with salvage opera
tions and construction work, to
the westward, pointed the need of
such a school for boys living in
villages throughout the Aleutian
chain. He said the establishment
of such a school would be a great
asset to the City, as well as filling
a need for the training of boys
in the off-fishing season. “JCodiak,”
he said, “is the logical place for
such a school.” Boys could be
taught to fish scientifically, to
learn boatbuilding, diesel repair,

and kindred subjects, he sakl.
The spekker stated he thought
the school shouldbe operated in
conjunction with the High School,
with the main emphasis on trade
training. Dormitory and boarding
facilities could be provided, and
would furnish another source of
revenue for Kouiak. He empha
sised the need is there, and would
contribute to the welfare of the
children as well as the community.
In a discussion that followed,
Emil Knudsen also stated he had
received several letters from peo
ple on various parts of the Island
and Westward, pointing out a
need of such a training center.
In the second half of the pro
gram, Howard Demarest, USO Di
rector, showed slides of the Pana
ma Canal Zone, where he had
spent six years. His pictures show
ed members the working of the
locks, the huge ships that pass
through from the Caribbean Sea,
thence to the Gulf of Panama
the' Pacific Ocean, and also east
ward. '
Striking pictures of Gatunrl4l|‘'
which feeds all the locks, wctc
shown. He said an average •* fl*
to 39 ships make the transit *wcy
day. These range from huge taattk
wagons, ore and passenger ship?
and freighters. Some of them have
only about six inches of clearan* '
he said.
Many pictures were shown of
Balboa and Panama City, which
depicted graphically the people
and customs and the beauty of the
Canal Zone countryside.
Visitors attending the meeting
were Jay Molletti, Bob Logan, 0
K. Kincaid, Dean McAdams, Jack
