ACE WILLIAMS IN
ENTERTAINING TALK
FOR ROTARY CLUB
Ace Williams is a man who is paid
to travel and have a good time,
stay at the best hotels and "just
take pictures.”
As the program chairman at to
day's Rotary Club meeting put it,
introducing him, "Ace is one of the
few men in the world who can put
a blonde on his expense account and
get away with it.”
Cameraman Williams cleared up
the blonde situation by mentioning
the models he sometimes takes to
far corners of the world, in his work
as official photographer for Pan
American World Airways.
The visitor has gone picture
hunting in Europe, South America,
Africa. India—and now Alaska.
When his new pictures are put to
their alluring use, there will scarcely
be an illustrated advertisement or
travel folder of that company which
does not include Ms work. He sees
his pictures every time he opens a
national magazine which has the
airline's ads.
If one picks up a comic book titled
"Ace of the Newsreels,” he will read
that it is based on the exploits
of Ace Williams and his assistant,
Foggy Gibbon. Ace originated the
idea and still supplies the plots.
Ace is billed as artist, photogra
pher and author in publicity for
such motion picture lectures as his
"Footsteps to Benares,” in which he
accompanied a whole village on a
1.000-mile religious trek across
India.
Hearing him expound wittily and
humorously on "The Art of Travel
ing” at the noon meeting In the
Baranof Gold Room, Rotarians and

guests were willing to add "enter
.ainer" to that billing.
After giving his suggestions on
how to travel happily, based on 20
years' experience. Ace illustrated
that of learning to see things from
the “foreigner's” point of view with
anecdotes of his three weeks with
the pigmies in the Belgian Congo.
He filmed about half 'of the motion
picture. "Savage Splendor.”
Ace (Adrian) Williams has been
in Alaska since July 1. going first
to the Nome and Kotzebue regions,
then to Fairbanks and Anchorage,
out the chain and to Katmai Na
tional Park.
“The thing that impresses me
most in Alaska." said Ace, “is the
friendliness among businessmen
and their broad-minded attitude.
Sure, they’re competing, but their
attitude toward the outsider puts
whatever will help Alaska ahead of
personal or business considerations.”
Williams plans to be in and near
Juneau for about ten days. "After
all,” he commerited, “the Juneau
area is the scenic highlight of
Alaska.”
As were his companions, Lowell
Thomas and photographer John
Roberts, Williams was greatly im
pressed with the trip yesterday to
Tracy Arm. He Js looking forward
to a proposed jaunt to Glacier Bay.
Fred Dunn, district traffic man
ager of Pan American, was among
the Rotary guests today. Also vis
iting was George Monson of Hib
blng, Minn., introduced by his
brother-in-law, J. B. Burford.
Several Rotarians traveling on the
Aleutian were able to make up club
attendance during the boat stop.
Cecil Casler was chairman of the
program as well as editor of this
week's Rotary Windjammer.

Arctic Will Be
Empire of Future,
Says Dr. Levine
'North will be the course of the
empire of the future," according to
Dr. Victor E. Levine, professor and
head of the department of biol
ogical chemistry and nutrition at
Creighton University, Omaha, Neb.,
who is here- on his tenth trip to
Alaska, and now making a com
parative study of the Indian and
Eskimo peoples.
Dr. Levine was the speaker at
the Business and Professional Wo
men's Club at its regular meeting
on the Baranof Terrace Monday.
Introduced by BPW president
Kate Smith, Dr. Levine told the
clubwomen that one-sixth of the
world is in the arctic or s^ib-arctic,
that increasing populations w.h
force the increased civilization of
Alaska, Canada, Siberia, Greenland.
‘With the over-population of the
temperate zone there is no place
for people to go. The tropics are
enervating and debilitating. The
arctic and sub-arctic, invigorating
and stimulating.
“And these northern areas have
not been touched. Russia has
found a 500,000 square mile area 01
coal in Siberia; gold has been found
on the Lena river; vast iron de
posits are in Labrador. There is
coal and oil at Pt. Barrow and the
largest tin deposit in the North
American continent is at Wales
Other metals found in Alaska are
uranium and tungsten.
“Fisheries foods include salmon
and codfish, there aje reindeer and
caribou.
“There is more inspiring beauty
in the scenery of Alaska than in j
all of Switzerland.
“Air routes of the future will be J
around the polar arc,” Dr. Levine j
predicted.
He then told how the arctic had
made history for two great nations:
The establishment of the Hudson
Bay Company by the English and
the push of the Russians Into Si
beria and Alaska for furs aided the
finances of both countries at criti
cal times in their histories and
helped to make them great nations.
Dr. Levine mentioned the friend
liness, companionship and spirit of
geniality that makes the arctic and
sub-arctic a real land of the 'glad
hand.’
There is adventure in the north,
to those who follow sledges, climb
mountains, follow the sea, but the
greater adventure is "finding the
human heart and human touch,”
Dr. Levine concluded .
Dr. Levine, or Lt. Col. Levine, if
one prefers, for he was with the
Army during World War II and
stationed in Nome, leaves today for
Hoonah and will return to Juneau
in about a week.
Mrs. Louise Houston, an active
member of BPW who is leaving for
the south later this month, was
presented with a bon voyage gift
in appreciation of her work for the
club.
Mrs. I. J. Montgomery, whose
husband, Dr. Montgomery is in
charge of the Merit System, told
the club of her work with the
Government Hospital and asked for
magazines to assist her.
Future BPW programs will be
planned by the committees on In
ternational Relations and on Public
Affairs, it was announced by Opal
Sharman, program chairman.
