Special Forces Flown to
Remote Villages
FORT RICHARDSON — A se
lect group of Anchorage business
and professional men arc among
the most active military men in
Alaska. These men. the pilots and
crews flying the planes of the 144th
Air Transport Squadron, Alaska
Air National Guard, are supporting
soldiers of Company A, 7th Special
Forces Group (Airborne).
The elite Special Forces unit is
in Alaska for winter training with i
the Eskimo Scouts of the 1st Scout
Battalion, 297th Infantry. Alaska
Army National Guard.
This week the National Guard
C-123s flew 109 Special Forces
soldiers to such remote villages as
Barter Island, Gambell. Kivalina,
Kotzebue, Noorvik, Unalakleet,
Point Barrow and Kiana.
Between flying missions, the Air
Guard crews work at their civilian
professions.
Last month the C-123s were kept
busy shuttling equipment to help
rebuild storm wrecked Point
Barrow.
Lieutenant Colonel William S.
Filmore, base commander, takes |
pride in his unit’s fleet of 10
C-123s. “It’s the best plane ever
built for our varied missions,” he
said. “It’s a good solid plane that
holds up well in the Arctic and
sub-Arctic. It can take a lot of
punishment and still perform the
mission and carry a lot of cargo.”
Americans ate 62.5 billion eggs
last year.

SHOOTING "UNDERGROUND"
Director Curtis Bernhardt took
advantage of a phenomenon of
nature to build a movie ‘‘studio”
underground, although his motives
were not concerned with air-raid
shelters.
During filming of Metro-Gold
wyn Mayer’s ‘‘Damon and Pythias”
in Rome, the director visited the
Grotte di Salone, huge under
ground caves which provided stone
to build the Coliseum, 80 years
after the birth of Christ.
Centuries of quarrying have
turned the caves into a vast, nat
ural studio. After inspecting them,
Bernhardt built four sets on the
site to film the underground dens
of the beggars and robbers in “Da
mon and Pythias.” now showing at
the Nomerama Theater.
FESTIVAL OF SONG
Audiences young and old will
respond to “The Trapp Family,”
20th Century-Fox DeLuxe Color
production, starring international
film favorite Ruth Lauwerik, with
Hans Holt, Josef Meinrad, and

sters. Based on the real-life adven
tures of the famous Trapp family,
this refreshing motion picture is
wholesome entertainment for the
entire family.
“The Trapp Family” is showing
Sunday and Monday at the Nome
rama Theater.
Costuming, photography and su
perb direction make “The Trapp
Family” entertainment of a whole- |

Quote: “One great good to come
out of the fire is the feeling among
citizens of Nome that henceforth
we are one great family devoted
to the building of a city of which
we can be proud; one in which our
children will grow up through
their years of school, and assist
in the development of a country,
which has long remained unclaimed
and unrecognized.”
