TO SCIENCE CONFERENCE
To attend the second Alaska
Conference beginning Sept. 4 at
Mount McKinley National Park,
two Fish and Wildlife Service of
ficials are leaving Juneau Sunday.
They are W. A. “Bud” Elkins,
game management supervisor and
C. Howard Baltzo, assistant reg
ional director.
Flying to Haines, they will drive
up the Haines and Alaska High
ways to Fairbanks and take the
train from there to the park.
The Petty (Wool!)
Girl' Bubbles Into
The Capitol Theatre
That luscious fluff of femininity
who Is the nnswer to a man's long,
low whistle, the glamor girl of all
time known as the Petty Girl, has
now been made the subject of a
bubbling romantic comedy with mu
sic.
Columbia Pictures’ "The Petty
Girl,” with color by Technicolor, is
a captivating romp of youth and
music, starring Robert Cummings
and Joan Caulfield, in the title role.
The comedy arrives at the Capitol
Theatre Sunday.
In telling the story of the Petty
Girl, Columbia relates a story that
bubbles over with youth, laughter
and four great songs, contributed by
top tunesmiths Harold Arlen and
John Mercer. The romantic en
tanglements that George Petty, the
creator of the Petty Girl, encoun
tered on the way up and the man
ner in which he acquired his favorite
Petty Girl model, have been nar
rated as saucily as a gay wink.
As the famed artist, Cummings is
discouraged in the opening sequences
of the film when his Petty Girl is
rejected as commercal art. Caught
on the rebound by Audrey Long,
predatory daughter of an auto mag
nate, he is easily persuaded to take
up highbrow painting.
Soroplimisls Hear
Of Girl Scouting at
Luncheon Meeting
Girl Scouting was featured at the
regular luncheon of the Soroptimist
Club'irr the Gold Room of the Bar
anof Hotel yesterday.
Mrs. John Clements, Girl Scout
commissioner for Alaska, passed
around a small scale map showing
the location of the property at Tee
Harbor presented to the Juneau
Girl Scouts by P. E. Harris for a
future camp site.
She described the extent of the
movement in Juneau where more
than 250 girls are engaged in scout
ing activities under the leadership
of at least 120 women of the com
munity, all volunteer workers.
Mrs. Morton Flint, camp chair
man for the past two years, ex
plained the camp organization and
personnel, both for the camp at
Eagle River and the Day Camp in
the Evergreen Bowl. Dr. Grace
Field was then called upon to re
late problems connected with de
velopment of the new camp site
in regard to water supply, waste
disposal and removal of old scrap
iron and debris from the days of
cannery occupancy.
Then followed a general discussion
of the advantages of the new site
end ibe problems involved in its
development.
In the absence of the president,
Gertrude Wetzel; Mrs. Frances Paul
wielded the gavel. Dr. Elizabeth
Bishop, who is the new director of
the division of crippled children and

Hilarious 'My
Friend Irma’ Opens
Sunday at 20th
Those sensational new song-and
comedy men, Dean Martin and j
Jury Lewis, will make their film
debut in Paramount's Hal Wallis
Production of the popular radio ’
program, “My Friend Irma," which
arrives Sunday at the 20th Cent- j
ury Theatre. It is an auspicuusi
bow in many ways, one of them;
begin that they share starring I
honors with Marie Wilson, who
plays Irma in the film just as she
does on the air, and with John
Lund, Diana Lynn and Don De.
Fore.
Another way in which they are i
fortunate is that two of the na- j
tion's top tunesmiths—Jay Living- !
ston and Ray Evans, who wrote
“Buttons and Bows” and “Golden i
“Earrings,” among other hits — j
composed three new songs espe
cially for them to sing in “My
Friend Irma.” They are “My Own,
My Only, My All," "Here’s to Love"
ami “Just for Fun.” A fourth Liv
ingston-Evans tune is the title
song.
FAMOUS SEA FILM
ENDS TONIGHT
Gregory Peck learned, during
the weeks he played the fabulous
title role in "Captain Horatio Horn
blower,’’ Warner Bros.’ romantic
sea epic, that one end of an an
tique bronze ship cannon is just
about as dangerous as the other.
The real business end of such
a gun spits out its ball shot from
the muzzle but, at the same time,
it spurts flames and blazing pow
der from the other end.
This, of course, had been no se
cret to the studio’s experts who
planned the sea battles _ for the
Technicolor film, which ends to
night at the theatre. They advised
the cast of the chances everyone
working with the antique weapons
would take during the engagement
while they were being fired.
Tripartite Pad
For Pacific Defense
Due for Signatures
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept, 1—UP)—
The United States, Australia and
New Zealand today sign a mutual
defense treaty extending this coun
try's security guarantees over a
vast new area of the world.
It provides another link in a i
future Pacific-wide military alii-1
ance against the Communist threat |
and is a curtain-raiser for next |
week's Japanese peace conference, j
Arriving by plane yesterday, Sec- j
retary of State Acheson in an ob- i
vious reference to Russia said the |
days ahead would show which are
the peaceful nations and which are
those that “talk peace while taking
action that may impair and prevent
the strengthening of peace."
The tripartite pact is conceived
by its creators as raising a warn
ing flag to Moscow against any
aggressive thrust into the South
west Pacific. At the same time it
places a barrier in the way of
any future resurgence of Japanese
empire building.
It will be signed at the historic
presidio of San Francisco, headquar
ters of the U. S. Sixth Army, in a
setting of military pomp with ar
tillery booming 19-gun salutes to
each delegation.
Just before signatures are pen
ned on the three-way treaty, dep
uty foreign minister Andrei Gromy
ko is scheduled to lead Russia's 39
member delegation into town for
the Japanese peace treaty confer
ence. That conference will be open
ed by President Truman Tuesday
night at the San Francisco Memor
ial Opera House, birthplace of the
United Nations.
A 20-member Japanese delegation
to the peace conference arrived in
Seattle today and is due here Sun
day. The delegation is led by Prem
ier Shigeru Yoshida.
