TRYCUTS FOR
“2UR TOWN”
ARE TOMORROW
I'iist tryouts for Anchorage
area actors and the general
public for roles in Thornton
Wilder's "Our Town” will be
held at Alaska Methodist Uni
versity on Dec. 27 at 7:30 p.m

"Our Town” will be present
ed during the month of March
;n Anchorage and will be pre
pared for entry in the Interna
tional Drama Festival which
will be held at Whitehorse,
Canada, in early April.
"Our Town,” now a classic in
American theatre, is concern
ed with birth, growing up,
marriage, death, and their
meanings. It is a play of the
faith and profundity of human
ly. A story in which we are
all caught up in seeking for
•iomething bigger and greater
•han ourselves, something eter
nal which always seems to be
struggling to come out.
The play calls for 30 char
acters covering nearly a full
spectrum of personality, age
and experience. There are roles
for 31 men and 21 women be
tween the ages of 16 and 65.
There are also some young
people between the ages of 10
and 15. The characters are
those one sees in any small
community, the doctor, the
ewspaper editor, the police
man, the milkman, the news
paper boy. the teacher, the
town gossip, the minister, etc.
The March ot Dimes in 20 j
years has invested 381.100.000
:n basic research into polio,
birth defects and arthritis,
making possible both the Salk
nd Sabin vaccines.

MARINE HIGHWAY RATES WILL
BE LOWER DURING 1964 SUMMER
Motorists will move along
Alaska's marine highway next
summer at rates lower than
those in effect during the sum
mer of 1963, the Division of
Marine Transportation said to
day.
Announcing its 1964 summer
tariff, to go into effect April
1, the Division said the new
rates would provide reductions
for passenger vehicles of as
much as $23.50 from levels in
effect last summer. The maxi
mum saving would be given on
passenger vehicles traveling
the full route of the system
from Prince Paipert to Skag
way with lesser reductions on
j shorter hauls.
Simultaneously, the Division
said its 1964 summer schedule
would follow t h e three-vessel
pattern placed in effect on a
trial basis in October. This
pattern, starting May 1, pro
vides daily departures, except
Sunday, from Prince Rupert
with a Friday north-bound and
lvioiiuay iuuwrwuuu
week to Sitka. Sitka also
would receive a north-bound
trip every other Saturday with
a south-bound visit on alter
nate Sundays.
Net effect of the 1964 sum
mer rates will be to add the
equivalent of a passenger fare
to the special low winter rates
now in effect for passenger ve- j
hides. The driver’s fare is not
included, however, in the ve
hicle tariff.
Fares for individual passen
gers will remain unchanged
from those in effect since ini
tiation of the marine highway
system early this year. No
charge will be made for stop
overs,
j
With one exception, the com
mercial vehicle tariff also re
mains unchanged from that
I p’aced in effect on December
5, except that a driver’s faro
j will not be included in the
1 hide rate
Vegetable Harvest
Bigger This Year
Although the total produc
: on of forage crops in the Mat
' nuska Valley, with the ex
ption of silage decreased in
11)63, the total production of
vegetables increased, according
to figures released by Sigmund
H. Restad, director of the divi
sion of agriculture. The un
usual weather during the 1963
season was a contributing fac
tor to the decrease of forage
crops.
Oats decreased from 1,074
tons in 1962 to 720 tons in
1063, barley from 2,112 to
I, 584 tons, hay from 9,000 to
7.700 tons, and silage increas
ed from 31,300 to 36,400 tons.
Potatoes increased from 6,935
tons in 1962 to 7,030 tons in
1963. cabbage from 180 to 315
tons, carrots from 270 to 290
tons and lettuce from 400 to
405 tons, Restad said.
In evaluating last years ac
complishments and preparat
ions for the coming year, Re
stad said, "We are no longer an
industry remote from the rest
of the world. Modern techno
logy, transportation, and mark
eting procedures have greatly
increased the competitive abil
ity of agricultural products
such as milk, potatoes, and
meat from other states. We
even have a considerable
amount of imports from foreign
nations in some products, espe
cially beef. For these reasons,
what happens to the industry
in other parts of the world is
)ouiic. to have an eliect on our
local situation.
So, for the coming year, we
must try to analyze changes
and adjust our operational pro
cedures in such a manner that
we can stay competitive. It is
nr, sincere hope that in «ome
smail way the Alaska Division
of Agriculture can be of assis
tance in this venture."

DON’T WASTE YOUR RESOLUTIONS
We don't help ourselves
when we make up a list of New
Year resolutions we cannot
keep. Wre’d be much better off
if we made no resolutions at >
all.
This is the advice of Dr. :
George I. Smith, professor of |
psychology at Rutgers (N.J. i
Newark College of Arts and
Sciences).
Dr. Smith says we should
make resolutions aimed at self
improvement, rather than
promising to do things which
would require a sharp change
in our habits or activities.
The State University psycho
logist offers the following rules
for successful self improve
, ment resolutions:
1, Don't resolve to do any
thing under the pressure of a
calendar date or a friend’s
nduge to do “something to im
prove yourself."
2. Do take serious stock of
your jro. cm- 1 ry to ueline
the s' : x f the trouble, not
rnerel - vmptoni. If you
are overweight ar.d it is due to
boredom or feeling sorry for
yourself, solve the problem
and v ■ . nt t< •wi 11 be easier.
If ne< -ary. yet professional
advice
3. G. ce you have located the
sourct f your difficulty, find
out hi ., important a change is
to yc. Is it a project you
can i by put yourself into''
If you are not convinced you
reallj want to overcome a sit
uation as a personal goal, your
resolution probably will be
wortl ess. Other people’s prod
ding : a poor substitute for a
perso 1 comitment.
4. I .rally, keep you r goals
reasoi ole. Many mental prob
lems .i.'.i lost resolutions are
results of unreasonable, unat
tainable goals.
