YOUR LIFE
INSURANCE...
A school teacher recently
wrote the New York Life In
surance Company:
* "Next year my policy will be
gin to pay me forty dollars a
month. That amount, added to
my pension and other income,
will make me very independent,
financially. I am proud that I
shall be able to care for all my
needs, when I know so many
people who have to depend on
others.
"Although other teachers in
the same high school in which
I taught smiled at my inno
cence in buying life insurance
instead of speculative stocks. I
lived not only to smile, but to
grin at them, for it was they
who made the mistake. Quick
money! There just isn’t such
a thing.”

Lancaster Rides
Horse in Film at
Capitol Theatre
For the first time in his motion
picture career Burt Lancaster is
riding a horse, wearing cowboy garb
and feeling right at home on the
range in his one and only western
role to date.
"Vengeance Valley,” MGM's big
Technicolor drama, now showing at
the Capitol Theatre, brought about
this "first” for Lancaster, had him
riding over the wind-swept cattle
country on location in the Color
ado Rockies, involved him in three
rough-and-tumble brawls in the best
western hero tradition and even
had him doing a nifty tumble from
a racing steed.
Lancaster, no mean acrobat in his
pre-Hollywood circus days, main
tains that he still makes his living
with his muscles. Even when he
wasn’t working in front of the cam
eras, he did handsprings and som
ersaults for the edification of the
local cowpokes. In return, they put
on some fancy exhibitions of roping
and bronco busting for Burt, Bob
Walker, Joanne Dru, Sally Forrest,
and other members of the film lo
cation troupe.
Despite the comparative newness
of Lancaster’s career—"Vengeance
Valley” is only his eleventh motion
picture—he has risen not only to the
position of a front-ranking star
in box-office attraction but also
to the producer spot of his own
film company, known as Norma Pro
ductions, This organization, named
after Mrs. Lancaster, former actress
Norma Anderson, already has com
pleted two successful pictures and
has three more in various stages of
preparation. While Lancaster does
not plan to appear in al! of his
company’s productions, he has star
red in two of them, “The Unafraid”
and "The Flame and the Arrow.”

Outdoor Writer -
Promises to \
Return in 1952
With a promise to be back, Tod
Powell, outdoor columnist for the
San Francisco Chronicle, 'left Ju
neau Sunday after three weeks of
good fishing.
“I've enjoyed every minute of
my stay," he declared, “I've met the
grandest people, had wonderful
fishing and I’m looking forward
to returning here.”
Powell and Steve Bancroft, Pan
American Airways pilot, spent
much of their time at Taku Lodge
where arrangements were made for
Malcolm Greany, local photog
rapher to take a series of movies
for television. The TV pictures
will be distributed from New York
and other movies will be made
available for fishing and hunting
clubs throughout the States, Pow
ell said.
Last Thursday Powell visited Mr.
and sMrs. Jack Allman at Tongass
Lodge at Excursion Inlet. He said
he had a beautiful trip and believes
the Allman's will have an attrac
tive tourist and fishing lodge.
"There were clams, crab, trout
and salmon," he reported, "and
there I was without my fishing
tackle!”
Powell was high in his praise
for Juneau’s Junior Trout Derby
and promised to send a fishing
rod for prize in next year’s event.

DOGS POISONED
Main talk among residents this
week is the rapidly disappearing
doe population.
For ome unknown reason dogs are
getting hold of poison and dying
lmediately upon eating.
A rat extermination program is
Underway within the city by a pro
fessional exterminator, but it Is
thought that his means of destroy
ing rats would not be so immediately
available to other large animals.
Some believe a dog crank may be
using the extermination program
to serve his own purpose. Pieces
of hamburger wrapped in wax paper
has been found in numerous places
where it would be available to
children as well as the dogs and
other (rets even though they were
confined to a leash. Investigation
is now under way, but in the mean
time. residents should keep their
pets indoors or in their own yard,
and warn their young children about
the poison pieces of meat which has
been found cr: the streets, so they
will not sample it.

Chooses Nash Ambassador!;
HERE'S WHY Johnny Manfz |
JETFIRE powir! ' |
Johnny Mantz, world-famous race driver, who’s driven just about
every kind of car ever made and won many of racing’s top
honors, has this to say about his Nash Ambassador:
“I chose a Nash Ambassador for personal and stock-car racing
use because I firmly believe Airflyte Construction and handling
ease make it the safest car on the highway. Speed and perform
ance? I proved that when I drove an Ambassador 102.46 m.p.h.
over El Mirage Dry Lake. Its Jetfire Engine is one of the finest
ever put into any car! But, above and beyond its record per
formance and economy are such features as Coil Spring riding
ease. Airliner Reclining Seat, Twin Beds and Weather Eye ;
Conditioned Air. Nash wins on every count—anf I can recom
mend it to anyone who wants a truly fine car.”
