|'Since You Went
i Away' Bill Tonight
At Capitol Theatre
‘‘Since You Went Away" comes to
the Capitol Theatre tonight for a
run of three days. Claudette Col
bert is the featured star supported
by a splendid cast.
Compelling address is made to the
screen audiences of America by
David O. Selznick in his examina
j tion of the United States at war.
j Its drama is in the emotions of
j a wife whose husband has gone in
. the service overseas, with incidental
episodic reactions in the home he
left behind him. It makes velvety
approach to realism with suave di
rection and sleek telling of a story
that is mostly moods which flow
past like cloud shadows on a lake.
That is all there is of story con
tent. Implied and behind it, if the
spectator is sufficiently conscious,
is the great thundering story of
the war, which comes in only as
echoes come, poignant in their dis
tance.

Here’s the saw that’s designed to
lessen work and raise income on the
farm. You can take it anywhere—
up hill and across swampy land if
necessary—because it weighs less
than 25 pounds. And cut anything
—heavy timber, limbs, hardwood,
softwood, frozen wood—because it
has a full 3 horsepower,
i Many other features too make

Illustrated Talk
Hydroelectric Power
Is Given to 6PWC
Third dimensional color slides
were shown to the Business and
Professional Women’s Club Monday
by Joseph M. Morgan who gave an
accompanying lecture on “Hydro
electric Power in Alaska and How it
Affects the Alaskan Public.”
"Since man invented the v.’heel
new’ and wonderous innovations have
evolved to lighten our burdens,”
said Morgan. “And to date the
greatest of these has been the ad
vent of electrical energy."
He discussed how low-cost power
holds the key to industrial develop
ment for Alaska and related what
the Bureau of Reclamation was do
ing to bring about this in a definite
way. Among projects mentioned
fcere the Blue Lake project near
Sitka, Swan Lake near Ketchikan,
the Wickersham project on Beaver
Creek in the Fairbanks area, the
Susitna River basin project; all of
which are in areas that need power
for development. Lake Dorothy pro
ject near Juneau was mentioned but
it w’ill not be developed until in
dustry Justifies the need of its con
struction, said Mr. Morgan. He told
of the Eklutna project near An
chorage and outlined the unique
manner of water diversion through
a 4' j mile tunnel in Goat Mountain,
which would secure power supply
and will be free from bombing in
case of aerial attack.
The third dimensional slides il
lustrated the lecture and flower
slides of the Mount McKinley area
and Haines were included. The
Polaroid glasses passed around
created a mild stir among the crowd.
Mrs. Mavera Morgan, vice-presi
dent, presided in the absence of
President Helene Price who was
presenting the gift gavel to the
newly organized Sitka BPWC which
received its charter today. As a
special order of business Miss Ruth
Lingley awarded a china cup as a
fund-raiser for a baby hamper pre
sented to St. Ann’s hospital. Thelma
Osborne was the winner. Visitors
present were the Misses Alice Mey,
Margaret Fassett, Olive Trower,
Rose Marie Smith, and Lois Smith.
HARRY SMITH IS DEAD
Harry Smith, proprietor of an el
ectrical shop in Ketchikan and
formerly in business in Juneau,
passed away last night in Ketchi
kan. This is according to advices
received here this morning by his
brother James E. Smith of the Al
aska Electric Light and Power
Company. He will leave today for
