Corner-Post Anchor Made
From Old Harrow Disk
We heard about this clever
corner-post anchor (below)
that will stand a lot of fence
pull—prevent sagging.Thought
it might interest you.

Incidentally, you can add years
to the life of any fence post by
dipping it in Standard Wood
Preservative. It seals the pores
in all types of wood touching
ground—fights the cause* of
wood decay.
Apply it the same as ordinary
creosote to grapestakes, fence
posts, mud sills, underpinning,
hop poles, etc. You’ll find it
pays to apply Standard Wood
Preservative a foot above the
ground to retard fungus and
rot. Call us about it. Serving
your needs promptly is our aim.

Rose Bowl Theme
In 'Peggy/ Now
Al Capilol Theatre
Pasadena’s world-famous New I
Year's Day Parade, the Tournament
of Roses, had been in existence a
mere 61 years before Hollywood de
cided it had been overlooking a
red-hot film theme right in its own
backyard.
As a result of Universal-Inter
national's decision to film "Peggy,"
the Technicolor story of a Rose
Queen, this fabulous spectacle is
finally captured on the screen in
all its glory. In years past, Pasade
na has been a favorite locale lor
film studios but always in a stand
in capacity for other American cit- |
ies.
"Peggy,” starring Diana Lynn,
Charles Coburn, Charlotte Green
wood and Barbara Lawrence, is now
at the Capitol Theatre.
Producer Ralph Dietrich obtained
the full co-operation of the Tourn
ament of Roses officials with the
result that “Peggy" includes unpar
alleled accuray in its treatment of
subject material from the time co
eds of Pasadena Junior College and
John Muir Junior College enter the
early eliminations until the lucky
girl is selected as Rose Queen in
the New Year’s Day parade.
Chuck Porter Brings
In 62-Pound King
“The largest fish brought into
Juneau this year” is the sign on
Chuck Porter's 62-pound king sal
mon on display in front of Juneau
Young Hardware.
Porter, an employe of Pacific
Northern Airlines at the Juneau air
port, landed the big one near Shel
ter Island Sunday morning after an
hour-long battle. John Dunn, local
attorney, was fishing with Porter
and undoubtedly saved the day in
netting the fish, Porter said.
Porter was using a 12-pound test
leader and 15-pound test nylon line.
Roy Deroux, a troller, was going
by during the battle and checked in
to see the size of the king which
was weighed on his scales at 62
pounds, measured 46 inches long and
had a girth of 28 inches. It tipped
the scales at 53 pounds after being
cleaned.
Silver Wedding
Anniversary is
Noted by Burdicks
When friends called at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Charles G. Burdick

Alaska, was with the forest service

was transferred to Alaska in 1927.
Although they have lived throughout
the Territory from Craig to Nome
since they came north, most of their
time has been in Juneau.

‘IRATE WIFE”
ASKED TO CONTACT
U. S. MARSHAL
A letter signed Irate Wife” was
received yesterday afternoon by U.
S. Marshal Walter Hellan. It con
tained a complaint against a Doug
las man who, the "Irate Wife" al
leged was running a "gambling
house."
As the letter was not signed,
Marshal Hellan said he had no way
of checking further into details of
the charges and asked that “Irate
Wife” come to his office to confer
with him. He assured "Irate Wife"
that their conference would be kept
strictly confidential.
(Ed. Note: See today's editorial
“Put Up or Shut Up.” This same
housewife apparently signs herself
in a different fashion each time
she writes. Note that the reactions
of Mr. Ilellan and The Empire are
the same.)
