ONE BID RECEIVED
DOUGLAS HOUSING
A bid of $99,800 was entered by
C. H. Boyer, Juneau carpenter-con
tractor, to construct eight Alaska
Housing Authority homes in Doug
las, E. Glen Wilder AHA director,
learned here today from his Anch
orage office.
The 25 units were broken down
into smaller groups for the benefit
of the small contractors. Wilder
said. This bid, however, is high, ac
cording to money available but the
bid will be held for careful review.
If the Federal Housing Authority
raises its committment on the
project, it may be that the bid can
be accepted, Wilder said, but since
these houses are built for sale, costs
will have to be kepi within a vea
sonable range.

GLORIOUS MUSiC
OF PUCCiNi IS
| AT CAPITOL NOW
A world of glorious music is
glowing unfolded in the new Colum
bia picture which is showing for
the last times tonight at the Cap
itol Theatre, "Her Wonderful Lie.'
Rich with the immortal love melo
dies from Puccini’s opera, "La Bo
heme,” the film stars Marta Eg
gerth, Jan Piepura and Janis Car
ter.
Husband and wife in real life
Kiepura and Miss Eggerth are
world-renowned for their brilliant
voices, equally at home on the con
cert and opera stages, as well a
in light comedy. Miss Carter is espe
cially beautiful as the girl who
brings the lovers together, at a
Paris garret party staged by a
group of impoverished young Bo
hemians.
"Her Wonderful Lie” makes ef
fective use of contrast, combining
tender, compelling sequences from
Puccini with modern-day situations
that parellel the Puccini opera. As
a result, excitement, spectacle, mu
sic and romance are happily fa h
ioned into an absorbing, appeal
ing and thoroughly enjoyable film.
Gregor Rabinovitch produced
; Her Wonderful Lie," with the or
i hestra and chorus cf the Rome
Opera Company.

BAD WEATHER HINDERS
IFC HALIBUT TAGGING
Recent high winds and rough
weather have not been helpful to t
the International Fisheries Com- ,
mission halibut tagging program. |
IFC biologists Dick Myhre and
Euell Hodge succeeded in tagging
about 4,000 pounds on the second
trip to Icy Straits and brought in
about 3,500 pounds that were unfit
for tagging. They were unloaded
today at the Juneau Cold Storage
plant.
Most of the halibut caught for
tagging were taken off Porpoise
Island in Icy Straits, although
lines were put out in other areas.
The biologists were aboard the|
halibuter Janette skippered by Capt. i
Merle Rhodes.
Myhre and Hodge are leaving
Friday for Seattle and will be re
placed for the remainder of the ex
pedition by biologists William
Hardman and Kenneth Exelby.

CONTINUE TO SHOW
INTEREST IN ALASKA
That the present international
situation and Alaska's geographic
position in possible events to come
has not deterred the school teach
ers’ interest in the territory and
the desire to teach in its schools is
indicated in the large number of
applications for teaching positions
already received this year for the
1951-52 semesters, it was revealed
today in the office of the Terri
torial Department of Education.
Applications so far equal those
of previous years and are greater
than in some years. They come
from all parts of the United States
and two are from teachers in Ha
waii who desire to come to Alaska
next year on an exchange transfer.
