McGRATH SENDS IN
CHECK FOR $766 IN
CANCER CAMPAIGN
A check for $700 received today
by the Alaska Division of the Am
erican Cancer Society, puts the
little town of McGrath for the
third consecutive year on the high
est spot in the nation, per capita
wise, in contributions made to the
Cancer Crusade. With a population
of approximately 125 people, the
per capita contribution is almost
$6. This represents an increase of
40 per cent over last year’s contri
bution from McGrath, which was
the highest in the nation. This is
according to information released
by Mildred R. Hermann, Comman
der of the Alaska Division.
"The contribution from Mc
Grath” Thomas A. Morgan, Terri
torial Crusade Chairman said “is
little less than amazing, and is, of
course extremely heartening to us
all. While it would be too much to
expect every community to contri
bute proportionally, the little town
in the interior has certainly set up
a record for the rest of Alaska to
shoot at.
“McGrath,” he added, “Is the
first Alaska Community to report
in full. We do know however that
successful crusades are under way
in many Alaskan towns this month,
and that plans for crusades later
in the summer are being developed
in many.of the seasonal employ
ment towns. If everyone gives as
the people of McGrath have given
we shall be able to score a re
markable success in our crusade for
this year.”
Mrs. Pearl Laska, who is Direct
or-at-large of the Alaska Division,
handled the campaign in McGrath,
as she has for two previous years.
Her letter did not give any of the
details of the manner in which the
campaign was conducted merely
making the laconic observation
that “we feel the campaign this
year was a success.”

FT. YUKON GUEST
Alice S. Wilson of Ft. Yukon is

St. ' v
"CAPETOWN" IS
NOW ON SCREEN,
CAPiTOl THEATRE
The two-fisted ex, i.c nett which
won him unprecedented audience
and critical applause in the prize
winning ‘All (he King's Mon” if
more than duplicated by Broderick
Crawford in “Cargo to Capetown,”
now at the Capitol Theatre.
Crawford, John Ireland and Ellen
Drew are starred in tin sea drama,
which features Edgar Buchanan and
red de Corsia. Crawfore is seen as
a hard-bitten chief engineer shang
haied aboard a battered old tanker
which must make a fast run across
-he Indian Ocean. Ireland is its
captain, a lormer naval hero and
hipmate of the man he has shang
haied.
Erstwhile buddies, the two men
Jug it out with each other over the
unexpected presence of Miss Drew
who comes along as a passenger
jecause she is (1> affianced to the
dianghaied engineer (2t former girl
friend of the rough-fisted Irelnnd.
Between slugfests of their own,
’rawford and Ireland find time to
join forces in fight-to-the-finish
battles with the elements: notably,
i hurricane which lashes the tanker
i.nd almost destroys it, and an oil
fire which is quenched by the two
men before the entire ship and
everybody aboard it gets blown up.
FOREST SERVICE
ASKS BIDS ON
HOUSING UNIT
Invitations to bid were being cir
?ulated today by the U. S. Forest i
Service for the building of a rang-1
er’s residence on the Forest Ser
vice’s administrative site-about two
miles out of Juneau on the glacier
highway.
Specifications are for a 2-bed
room residence, the first of four
such units it is planned to haVe
eventually. They will be used ex
clusively for rangers' residences,
and it is hoped by construction of
the four units that some of the
problems of housing personnel will
be solved. Rangers, it was explain
ed, are subject to frequent transfer
and finding quarters for them and
their families, while in Juneau,
has been difficult.
Bids will be opened in the office
of Alva W. Blackerby at 2 p.m., on
June 5, which is also the deadline
for submitting bids. Further infor
mation can be obtained by con
tacting the U. S. Forest Service'

FLYNN SINGS IN
'MONTANA' NOW
AT 20TH CENTURY
Onr of the novel aspects of “Mon
tana" at the 20th Century Theatn
is its introduction of Errol Flynn, a
a rollicking duet with Alexis Srpi 1
arollicking duet with Alexis Suit!
on the tunc. “I Reckon I'm in Love.
His vocalizing fs bound to win hin
fans among those who thought that
the great Flynn limited his screen
talents to rapier-thrusts and love
making.
“Montana" is the story of . Mor

CANCER CRUSADE
fS GETTING DDWH,
GENTLE REMINDERS
Reminders that they have over
looked a very important renuest—
mailing their contribution to the
local cancer crusade—will be found
in the mail of some seventy or
eighty business firms in Juneau
during the coming weekend.
"We hope,” Norman Banfield,
local crusade chairman said today
"That these gentle reminders will
bring the added contributions ne
cessary for a successful crusade in
Juneau. This will avert the neces
sity of a personal solicitation mop
up campaign later this month. We
figure it is just a ease of oversight
anyway, on the part of these bus
iness houses and that the reminders
should be sufficient to rectify the
situation,. And, of course, if it
doesn’t, we shall still have another
ten days to work as mopper-up
pers.
Pointing out that with this ex
ception, the local crusade has been
exceptionally successful. Eanfield
paid tribute to Federal and Terri
torial employees, who, under the
chairmanship of George Haen of
the Forest Service, and Catherine
Mack of the Allska Development
Board, have bettered the fine rec
ord these groups made last year.
Operation "May Day,” participated
in by Channel Boy Scout troops,
also .' more than met expectations,
he said. The various organizations
of the town to which special letters
were sent, have been very generous
in their response. Only a few have
failed to contribute to date, he said,
"and the contributions received
have been usually generous."
“It therefore remains only for
the business and professional people
to come through In proportional
degree,” he concluded, “and we
shall be able to write off the local
crusade as a decided success."
It is easy to contribute to the
cancer crusade by mail. Simply put
your check or cash contribution in
an envelope addressed simply to
"Cancer, Juneau.” ' The postoffice
will do the rest.
