HIGH-FLYING
THRILLS IN
"AIR HOSTESS"
Exciting Theme in
i New Color Film
Now ai Capitol
Revolving around an ingenious
I scheme to trap a murderer, "The
j Man on the Eiffel Tower” stars
Charles Laughton, Franchot Tone,
1 Burgess Meredith, Robert Hutton,
i Jean Wallace, Patricia Roc, Belita
I and the city of Paris in an excit
j ing offering filmed entirely in An
sco Color. This feature is now at
the Capitol Theatre.
The Irving Allen-Franchot Tone
Production, distributed by RKO
Radio, casts Laughton as a noted
French detective persistently on the
heels of Tone who is suspected in
a case of murder. Sure that the
killer's nerve will crack if sufficient
pressure can be applied, the detec
tive makes use of practical psy
chology to break down the man’s
confidence, and this leads to a
breath-taking climax high up in the
iron mazes of the famous tower.
Burgess Meredith directed the
film, which was produced by Irving
Allen, and based on George Si
menon's “A Battle of Nerves."
Opening tomorrow Macdonald
Carey and Marta Toren face peril
on the high seas in Universal
International’s "Mystery Subma
rine," an action-packed thriller also
starring Robert Douglas. The new
film was photographed against
authentic interiors and exteriors
aboard a decommissioned navy sub
marine near San Diego, Calif. Carl
Esmond and Ludwig Donath head
the supporting cast of "Mystery
Submarine.”

Clarence Olson
Reports on
Pribilofs
Refrigerators are now on the
want list of the Pribilof Island na
tives according to Clarence Olson,
general manager of the seal is
lands. Mr. and Mrs. Olson stopped
in Juneau enroute to Seattle on
Monday. Many natives have all
modern electrical equipment in their
homes and many orders have been
sent in this year for refrigerators.
Olson said that there are now
500 Aleuts living on the islands of
St. Paul and St. George and during
the annual seal drive about 80 work
men are brought from villages in
the Aleutian Islands.
For the past two years, St. Paul
has been a tourist mecca during the
sealing drives. Tourists armed with
all types of cameras are taken to
St. Paul by Reeves Aleutian Air
lines. There is a 30 room hotel and
these on the tour have a two day
stopover.
There are now 12 white families
on St. Paul and four on St. George
Island. Mr. and Mrs. Olson spent
se\eral winters on St. Paul. They
said that they almost enjoyed it
more in the Pribilofs-than in Seat
tle during the winter. Mrs. Olson is
a concert pianist and this year she
completed her master’s thesis for
the University of Washington school
of music. Her dissertation was on
English opera in colonial America.
Mr. Olson reported that the Rev.
Makarky Baranof of the Russian
Orthodox Church at St. Paul is now
visiting with his wife in the states.
Father Baranof was priest in charge
of the Russian Orthodox Church
of St. Nicholas in Juneau during
World War II when he and his con
gregation were evacuated to south
east Alaska.

Two Women First
To Fly Over
Frigid North
NEW YORK, Oct. 18 — UP — Two
young women plan to fly across the
frigid wastelands of the North Pole

first women to make such an at
tempt.
One is Virginia Withington, an at
tractive 34-year-old Hamden, Conn.,
girl who lias been developing her
career as a specialist in aeronaut
ical navigation. The other is Miss
I. M. Dunbar of the Defense Re
search Board of Canada.
Both are going along as ob
servers on a Royal Canadian Air
: Force mission to study the behavior
of secret new navigation instru
ments in Arctic skies.
The mission is in connection with
a continuing study of cold weather
military equipment being conducted
by the United States and Canada.
The plane is due to take off from

Christmas Seal
Sale in Alaska
Begins November 1
The office of the Alaska Tuber
culosis Association has been a
super-busy place the last month
during which the supplies for the
1951 Christmas Seal Sale have
been sent out to sponsoring groups
throughout the Territory.
In Juneau the Kiwanis club1
member > will again undertake the
personal solicitation of the down
town business area, beginning
around the first week in November.
After that the remainder of Juneau
will be reached by the well known
mail sale.
In 1950 the people of Alaska con
tributed $35,731.61 to the program
of tuberculosis control through the
purchase of Christmas Seals, which
is the only nppeal for funds made
to the public by voluntary tuber
culosis associations during the year.
Only six percent of this amount
went to the national association and
the rest remained in Alaska to
carry on local programs and help
plug the gaps in official funds.
Although tuberculosis is Alaska’s
most serious health problem, it is
i not a dramatic disease. With the
exception of the miliary and men
ingitis types, tuberculosis creeps on
so slowly and painlessly that the
victims are seriously ill before their
condition is realized, and all too
often they have been labelled as
simply lazy and unambitious. It is
not a disease that ordinarily pulls
at the heart strings and attracts
the interest of large givers, so that
very few large contributions are re
ceived during the sale. The bulk
of the returns come in gifts of two
to five dollars and represents a
wide per capita coverage of the
Territory.
One of the most satisfying expen
ditures of the Alaska Tuberculosis
Association, into which they are
putting $3,200 this year, is the pro
gram of chest surgery at Mt. Edge
cumbe Tuberculosis Sanitorium,
and without which assistance the
official agency in charge would not
have been able to set up the pro
gram. Not all patients have a con
dition suitable for chest surgery and
for them bed rest still remains the
most satisfactory treatment. But
many patients can profit by surgery
and this cuts down their hospitali
zation time greatly and frees the
bed for a new patient. A case in
point is the Juneau young man who
has been in and out of TB hos
pitals for fifteen years, but in six j
months after chest surgery he was
home for good and is already earn
ing nart of his own living.
Tills type of expenditure of seal
I sale money is called a demonstra
tion , program and it Is expected
| that -Within a year or two this item
1 will become a part of the permanent
| budget of the official agency. Last:
year the Alaska Tuberculosis Asso
! elation used $10,111 of its funds to |
| supplement official budgets for
services that are very necessary
in the cure and rehabilitation of
the tuberculous patient.

{Fast Action in
'Crosswinds' Now
At 20lh Century
Take a hard-as-nails sea captain,
a beautiful redhead and a villainous
band of derelicts: add a secret
lagoon of head-hunters, and a plane
missing with a million-dollar cargo.
The sum, totalled in Paramount’s
"Crosswinds,” which opened yes
terday at the 20th Century Theatre,
stands as almost two hours of un
relenting action and excitement.
Filmed in color by Technicolor
and starring John Payne, Rhonda
Fleming and Forrest Tucker, this
Pine-Thomas production follows a
rascally collection of fortune hunters
seeking treasure in the unexplored
Islands of the South Seas.
The sizzling series of adventures
starts unreeling when Payne pilots
his schooner into a small South
Pacific port, meets sultry Miss
Fleming, and conniving trader
Tucker. A deal is made to hunt
pearls. But while the girl gives
Payne the eye, Tucker gives him the
double-cross and he finds himself in
jail, minus a schooner.
On his release, Payne Joins up
with two murderous derelicts.
Aboard a stolen yawl, the three
go up river to hunt Tucker, the girl,
and a plane which has crashed in
the jungle with a million dollars of
bullldn aboard. Blood-thirsty sav
ages, crocodile-infested rivers and
Intrigue among the whites punctu
ate the search. Before things are
through, Payne has settled his score
with the treacherous trader and
made peace of a different sort with
Miss Fleming.
