FORESTER !S TO
WORK FOR ROADS
APPROPRIATIONS
Frank B. Heintzleman, Regional
Forester for Alaska, left Juneau to
day for Washington, D.C.. to work
on Alaska legislation, roads and
appropriations.
Heintzleman will cooperate with
Bureau of Roads officials in an ef
fort to secure appropriations by
Congress for road work in southeast
Alaska.
Last year the Forest Service and
the Bureau of Public Roads ob
tained a special authorization by
Congress for $7,000,000 for bringing
up to modern standards the roads
in the Ketchikan, Juneau and Sitka
areas. Needs for starting this work
will be brought before Congress
that an appropriation of at least
one half the amount authorized will
be made available this coming fiscal
year, Heintzleman said.
At this time also, the needs will
be presented for an appropriation
under the regular roads authoriza
tion for all roads in the National
Forest area in Alaska. The authori
zation for these regular annual ap
propriatibns is now $1,750,000.
Heintzleman expects to spend
about six weeks in the east. While
there he will take annual leave to
attend the 50th anniversary of the
School of Forestry, Yale University,
of which he is a graduate, and to
spend the Christmas holidays with
relatives at his family home near
Chamberberg, Penn.

"KANSAS RAIDERS" ,
OPENING TONIGHT,
CAPITOL THEATRE
Universal-International's exciting ,
new Technicolor film, “Kansas j
Raiders," opening tonight at the
Capitol Theatre, is dramatically j
highlighted with William C. Quan
trill's infamous raid on Lawrence, ,
Kansas. I
The new action-film casts Brian t
Donlevy in the role of Quantrill and
also stars Audie Murphy. Scott \
Brady and Marguerite Chapman.
“Kansas Raiders” is Murphy’s
third consecutive Western film for .
Universal-International Studio and )
the popular young actor is seen in l
the role of the youthful Jesse James.
Audie was cast as William Bon
ney, or Billy the Kid, in his first
screen role, "The Kid From Texas.”
According to history, Quantrill
posed as a Colonel in the Confed
erate Army and led his band of
raiders on murderous plundering ■
attacks upon unprotected families j
and cities. Donlevy gives the char- :
acterization a strange twist — the
man of iron with the military
dreams of a child.

IS BIG FEATURE AT

I est role.

JUNIOR RED CROSS
PROGRAM AIDING
ALASKA SCHOOLS
—
An interesting report on Junior
Red Cross activities affecting Al
aska was received here today by
Mrs. Kenneth Clem, executive se
cretary of the Juneau chapter of
the American Red Cross.
Mrs. Wilma Mitchell, correspon
dent for the Pacific Area at San
Francisco, said that most of the
native schools and small Territor
ial rural schools had already re
ceived Junior Red Cross gift box
es this year for nearly every child.
In addition, 94 native schools, 49
rural schools and eight mission
schools in Alaska were furnished
with kits of educational and recre
ational supplies, each valued at $50.
She said that the Alaska Native
Service and Territorial officials
were enthusiastic about the service
which comes through the National
Children’s Fund.
Mrs. Mitchell indicated that an
appropriation from the National
Children’s Fund for the transporta
tion of Alaskan children to the Or
thopedic Hospital in Chicago had
been about exhausted. Under a co
operative arrangement with the
University of Chicago, the Pubifc
Health Department in Alaska and
the American Red Cross, additional
funds were made possible. The
Children’s Fund provided transpor
tation averaging $365.43 per child
for 28 children from Alaska, six
of whom were still in the hospital
in Chicago last August.
A Junior Red Cross drive for 1951
.s being launched soon all over the
country. Only one school in Juneau
participated in the activity last
year, Mrs. Clem said. She will soon
have pamphlets and information
on the program for any teachers
interested.

ALASKAN HEARTS AND 1
PURSES OPEN TO AID
HELVIG (HRISTINSON
Juneau fishermen and business
men have responded to a worthy
cause in raising funds to aid Hel
vig Christinson of Pelican whose
I feet were amputated as a result of
I three-day’s freezing exposure on
i Yakobi Rock, following the ship
wreck of the Dixie. Christinson is
still recovering in St. Ann's hos
I pital here.
Over $400 has been raised locally
which will add to a fund being
I raised at Pelican, Andy Barlow,
executive secretary of the United
Trollers of Alaska, said today.
"While Christinson is not a fish- I
erman, he was closely associated
with fishing groups in his boat en
gine shop at Pelican. Juneau fish
ermen and businessmen are sympa
thetic to the situation in which he
finds himself facing hospital and
doctor bills,” Barlow stilted.
Anyone interested in adding to
the sum already collected may send
their donation to L. J. Geiger, har
bormaster, or to Andy Barlow, Room
6, Valentine Bldg., or Box 2199, Ju
neau.
Christinson is the only survivor j
of the wreck of the Dixie on Yakobi
Rock last month when Fred Wetche
and his son Fred were drowned.
Christinson succeeded in getting to
the Rock where he spent three days j
and nights in freezing weather be- j
fore being rescued. His feet, legs,
hands and back were badly frozen.
