BOGART STARRED,
MYSTERY FEATURE,
CAPITOHHEATRE
“In a Lonely Place” comes to the
Capitol Theatre Sunday with Hum
phrey Bogart jp the feature role.
It is a suspense picture with the
surprise finish. Gloria Grahame
plays opposite Bogart in this pro
duction which is suspense in the
night, intrigue at dawn and sus
picion around the clock.
Here in brief is the story:
Screenwriter Dixon Steel (Bogart)
is the last known person to have
seen alive a murdered hat check
girl, Mildred Atkinson (Martha
itew'art).
Police detective Brub Nicolai^
Frank' Lovejoy). a wartime friend,
brings Steele in for questioning by
Captain Lochner (Carl Benton
Reid).
Laurel Gray (Gloria Grahame),
Steel’s neighbor, is helpful in alibi
ing Steel. The writer falls in love
with the girl and she with him,
despite his well-known violent rages
over trifles. Their romance is
watched with mixed emotions by
Mel Lippman (Art Smith), Steele’s
^gent and friend, and by Sylvia Nic
olai (Jeff Donnell), Brub’s wife.
Dix and Laurel decide to get
married. As he becomes increasing
ly aware df the police net closing
in on him. Steel’s tensions grow.
He begins to suspect that Laurel
wants to leave him,thinking that
he really is the killer. In a rage
at the thought of losing her, Stee:e
begins to strangle Laurel — when
Brub telephones to say the police
have caught Mildred's murderer,
her fiance.
Steele is cleared of all suspicion,
but he has lost Laurel anyway.
WOMEN'S CLUB
ANNOUNCES NAME
ALASKA MOTHER
Mrs. Michael J. Walsh, of Nome
■■as winner in the Alaska Mother
contest held recently by th2 Feder
ated Women's Clubs, and Mrs. Jess
Rust, of Fairbanks was elected al
ternate, according to announce
ment of Mrs. Frances Paul, presi
dent, at a meeting of the Juneau
Woman's Club Wednesday aiter
noon. The meeting was held at the
home of Mrs. Thomas Morgan.
Mrs. Jack Popejoy opened the
program with two piano numbers
which were greatly enjoyed, and
also addressed the clubwomen on
the special school bond election
which will be held April 30. Chan
ges in plans and added costs were
explained and the talk was follow
ed by a general discussion. The im
portance of having the names of
both husband and wife on the roll
of tax payers was emphasized in
order to insure eligibility for voting
at such an election.
Mrs. Alice Thohie, local artist
and active member and exhibitor
at the Alaskan Arts and Crafts,
Incorporated, was the principal
speaker of the day and expressed
her appreciation of the ,work of
the JWC which she called the
mother club of the Arts and Crafts,
later made an independent organ
ization which has grown and made
its iniluence felt in other parts of
the Territory.
Mrs. Thorne spoke interestingly
of the special Native heritage and
its preservation, and the original
work and creative ability which has
been manifested in the exhibits.
What has been steadily and in
creasingly emphasized for the ex
hibits is originality in concept or
media, and the Seventh Annual
Exhibit of the Arts and Crafts was
outstanding in this respect, it was
felt.
The speaker suggested that any
one with a creative urge start now
to put it to work, using Alaska ma
terials, if possible. "The reward
is great,” she said, “when the work
is your very own.”
A small exhibit of art work served
to illustrate original work and or
iginal designs. The informal dis
cussion which followed brought out
the fact that industry and persev
erance, rather than recognized tal
ent, had prompted much of the
work done by exhibitors, according
to their own testimony.

STORY OF GREAT
SPORTSMAN COMES
TO 20TH CENTURY
Opening tonight at the 20th Cen
tury Theatre is a new kind of n
movie but one which will appeal to
young and old, man and woman
with sporting blood in their makeup.
This feature is "The Jackie Robin
son Story.”
This is the story of a great sports
man — Jackie Robinson,'who made
his spectacular climb to the top the
hard way — the American way —
with a bat, a ball and glove. The ]
picture which stars the top-notch i
second baseman himself shows how j
the four-letter athlete of UCLA j
stepped into the world of profes-1
ional sports and how, with the help !
of his friends, overcame almost un-!
urmountable odds, went on to break i
record after record, culminating in |
his being named the Most Valuable j
Player in the National League.
It shows how his wife (Ruby Dee*
inspired him to continue when the
going got tough and he was ready
to call it quits. It shows how
Branch Rickey (Minor Watson)
president of the Brooklyn Dodgers,
had enough confidence in Jackie
is a fine ball player to be dissuaded ■
jy any threats of racial prejudice.
And best of all, “The Jackie Rob
nson Story" shows Jackie at his
best — on the ball field — running,
sliding, stealing in the form that
has made him the nation’s number
me sports figure.
WELFARE BOARD !
MAKES REPORT ON
RECENT MEETING
The Board of Public Welfare
held a four-day session in Juneau
starting April 10th, and completing
the agenda on April 13th. The
Board consists of Reverend G.
Edgar Gallant, First Division, Mrs.
Frances Longley, Second Division,
Trs. Evangeline Atwood, Third Di
vision, and Mr. Ivar Skarland,
fourth Division. Father Gallant
,v s elected Chairman for the meet
ings.
Changes in regulations in the Aid
to Dependent Children law in
■ leased the maximum grant from
$50.00 for the relative and first
child to $60.00, and from $25.00 for
each additional child to $30.00.
Changes in this legislation make it
possible to ipclude children from 16
to 18 years of age who are regu
larly attending school.
The only regulation affecting
the Old Age Assistance program
was the inclusion of non-citizens
who had resided in the Territory
since 1935.
The Board’s requested appropri
ation for the General Relief pro
gram was $660,000.00. The Legisla
ture, however, appropriated only
$450,00000, and at the same time
increased the legal monthly maxi
mum from $30.00 to $60.00 per per
son. The Board made a complete
study of this program in order to
adopt restrictive regulations so
that the appropriation could be
stretched out over the coming bi
ennium.
The Board recommended clarifi
cation on the General Relief pro
gram as they felt that the public
was under the Impression that
General Relief provides for people
only subsistence needs (food, shel
ter, fuel, etc.) where actually it
also provides medical care, hospi
talization, and burial. Henry A.
Harmon, Director, reported' that 65
persons at the present time were
being cared for in hospitals through
out the Territory at a tremendous
cost to the General Relief program.
Preliminary plans and policies
were set up for the new Aid to the
Blind program, effective September
1, 1951.
Services for children were given
a great deal of consideration during
the Board meeting.
Plans for care and treatment of
children committed under the Ter
ritory’s Juvenile Code, and the re
sponsibilities of parents to pay
for the support and care of child
ren were two of the important
matters given consideration. The
Legislative action in appropriating
$20,000 for the establishment of re
ceiving homes was viewed with a
great deal of satisfaction, as it
would be possible to provide good
temporary placement facilities for
children, thus avoiding tfie housing
of children in jails.
The next meeting of the Board
will be held during the month of
October 1951.

APRIL CRUSADERS j
TO FIGHT CANCER
April Is devoted to an Intensive
educational and fund-raising cru
sade against cancer and calls for a
drive aginst the disease that last
year killed an estimated 210,000
Americans.
The drive will begin in Juneau
April 25.
Why is cancer singled Cllt for
such an intensive attack li* which
physicians, researchers and the
public unite? Because so many
thousands of lives—perhaps half of
those who develop the disease—can
be saved.
Cancer is a disease of the cells.
It occurs when for reasons not en
tirely understood, cells throw off
normal rules of behavior and be
gin to act like gangsters. Instead
of being useful working citizens of
the body they devote their energy
to growth, and they steal the food
of normal cells.
The 1951 Cancer Crusade of
the American Cancer Society seeks
funds to combat this outlaw dis
ease. Your dollars help guard your
family. Strike back! Give to con
quer cancer.

SILVESTER READS
EMPIRE; TAKES TO
WILD BLUE YONDER
If anyone doubts the power of
the press, or that The Empire isn’t
read— listen to this:
Thursday a story was carried tell

was rescued by the Fish and Wild
life Service and was recuperating

safely and comfortably In the C. H.
Baltzo yard at Fritz Cove.
The story stated that although
the Baltzo family found Silvester
a ready pet. nimrods on The Em
pire had other designs come hunt
ing season.
Friday morning the two Baltzo
children went out in the yard to
feed Silvester his breakfast of dog
meal mash. But Silvester wasn’t
having any. He craned hi*' neck,
flapped his wings and took off into
the wild blue yonder, broken leg and
battle scars forgotten.
The Baltzo children are In tears
over loss of their pal. Empire nim
rods are chagrined over loss of an
easy-to-get goose dinner, all of
which illustrates the Einstein .theory

Now The Empire goose dinner will
have to be gotten the hard way —

Moral of the story is: It pays to
