MURDER MYSTERY
BY WM. FAULKNER
! CAPITOL FEATURE
] _
I “Intruder in the Dust,” M-G-M’s
thrilling murder mystery, playing
lor the last times tonight on the
i Capitol screen, employed the serv
ices of probably the most distin
guished stand-in ever used for a
i motion picture.
He is William Faulkner, famous
i Southern author of the best-seller
| novel, ninety percent of which was
filmed on location in its actual lo
: cale in Oxford. Mississippi.
; Faulkner made his appearance as
I a stand-in for a sequence filmed by
Producer-Director Clarence Brown
! in a forest at Puss Kuss Creek,
i near Oxford. The scene required
! Claude Jarman, Jr., to cross the
I stream on horseback. Faulkner,
'astride a horse named Clipper,
stood-in for Jarman while photo
grapher Robert Surtees focussed his
camera.
The reason was that Clipper is
Taulkner’s own riding horse and at
first was not used to young Jarman.
1 Pater, however, Jarman and Clipper
v/ere ranging the countryside at full
speed.
In addition to young Claude Jar
man, principal roles in “Intruder in
the Dust” are taken by David Brian,
brilliant stage star, Juano Hernan
dez, famous Puerto Rican Negro
actor and Elizabeth Patterson, well
known character actress.

Taku Wind Gives
Young Poeis Subject
To Write About
For so many years that we can’t
remember, there has been a rule
around The Empire’s news office
that has been unbreakable: The
Empire does not print poetry.
Two small members of Miss May
berry's third grade broke down our
managing editor’s resolution, how
i ever, and Elmer Friend said to print
the timely work of the young poets.
The subject assigned them was the
Taku Wind.
Letters asking that the poems be
published were written by Tommie
Whiteside, George McCurry, Colleen
Pearson, Kay Madsen and Helen
Daroff.
Here are the poems of Miss May
berry's pupils. We hope this won’t
set a precedent. Mr. Friend was
just caught in a weak moment and
the opinions of the young poets
regarding the Taku Wind are more
j printable than his own.
The Taku Wind
The Taku Wind is blowing today,
I saw it blow some tin away.
It blows the snow right off the
ground
And carries cardboard all around,
i —By Ronald Peterson and
Mickey Robbins. Age 8.
The Taku Wind is awful, I think!
It makes me slip and slide and blink.
[ The people are tumbled and pushed
about
j When old Mt. Juneau smokes —
Look Out!
—By Val Eller, age 8.
! The Taku Wind is pretty rough,
! It swings me round and round,
j It pushes me here and pushes me
there,
[ It throws me on the ground.
By Johnnie Griffin, age 8.
The Taku Wind is cold and strong
I heard it howling all night long.
I It sounds like thunder, but it’s not,
i It bothers me an awful lot!
—By Helen Daroff, age 8.
[The Taku Wind blows very hard
It almost blew me out of my yard,
i It makes the tall white mountains
smoke,
Each one is wrapped in a winter
cloak.
—By Kay Madsen, age 8
The Taku Wind is blowing today
It hurls the snow like a piece of
clay.
It slides you down the slippery walk,
You go so fast you can’t even talk!
It whirls the water in the air
Until it seems it isn’t there!
It tosses white caps on the sea,
My! How the Taku puzzles me!
—By Dennis Lattery, age 8.

CHRISTMAS MAILING
DATA IS GIVEN NOW
Attention is again called to the
importance of mailing Christmas
packages early. November 15 is the
deadline for mailing packages for
overseas to assure delivery by
Christmas.
Packages for the states should be
mailed not later than December 3
Due to the congestion of mail dur
ing the Christmas holidays, parcels
in most cases do not travel di
rectly to point of address but to
divisional distributing centers to be
re-worked and dispatched to the
various cities and towns, which
necessarily causes some delay.
Co-operation in not waiting until
the day before a boat sails to mail
packages will be very much appre
ciated by the clerks at the Juneau
post office and will also assure dis
patch on that boat.
Boat schedules are as follows:
Northbound Southbound
