"BLUE LAGOON" IS
TECHNICOLOR HIT
ON CAPITOL SCREEN
Beautiful production has been
combined with a delightfully in
genious story to bring J. Arthur
Rank’s “The Blue Lagoon” to the
screen. The South Sea Lsland ship
wreck tale, filmed in Technicolor,
opened Saturday at the Capitol The
atre.
Jean Simmons, one of the most
promising young actresses on the
screen today, comes through with
charm, beauty and warmth as a
young lady who grows up on an
island paradise. The 19-year-old
brunette previously won critical ac
claim for her performances as
Ophelia in the Academy Award
winning “Hamlet,” as Estella in
“Great Expectations" and as a na
tive dancer in "Black Narcissus”—
roles that show the range of her
dramatic talents.
In “The Blue Lagoon,” Jean again
hits the bull’s eye for exciting act
ing. The film, "shot” on actual loca
tion in the South Pacific, tells the
story of two children, aged eight
and seven, who make their way,
along with a salty old seaman, to
a coral island after a shipwreck.
When the sailor dies, they are left
completely on their own, with only
a provident Nature as their ally.
The children grow up on the island
—fishing—diving for pearls and
fashioning a crude home—virtually
unaware of outer civilization.
Donald Houston appears as Jean’s
companion, matching her feminine
beauty with blond masculine appeal
and a physique that makes him per
fectly credible as the child of Na
ture. The pair, as children, are
played with delightful charm by
Susan Stranks and Peter Jones.
Their sea-going mentor, as played
by Noel Purcell, is crusty and sen
timental—a man who would feel at
home in “Treasure Isand” or “Rob
inson Crusoe.”
The supporting cast is uniformly
competent, with standout perform
ances by Cyril Cusak and James
Hayter as renegade beachcombers
who discover the island and provide
the yoJtigsters with their first link
to the world beyond.
“The Blue Lagoon” is a Gilliat
Launder Production, and an Indi
vidual Picture, released through
Universal-International.
FORECLOSURE SUIT
The Alaska Federal Savings and
Loan Association and the Columbia
Lumber Company have filed suit in
District Court for foreclosure
against Philip and Gladys Strand
of Fairbanks.
The action involves a $14,000 note
secured by a mortgage. Also, the
lumber firm claims that Strand
doing business as the Strand Con
struction Company, owes $427.25
for materials purchased and deliv
ered.
John C. Dunn of the firm of
Faulkner, Banfield and Boochever,
represents the plaintiffs.
SEEKS DIVORCE
Ira B. Stevenson, represented by
M. E. Monagle, has filed for divorce
from Alice Gertrude Stevenson, on
grounds of incompatability. Their
marriage was December 1, 1949.
Stevenson asks custody of his
five adopted children, of whom
Mrs. Stevenson is the mother.

MACHETANZ FILM
SHOWS HOME LIFE
INESKIMOLAND
4
“Seegooruk” (Eskimo Winter) the
color movie film to be presented
by artist-author, Fred Machetanz
in a double showing Thursday eve
ning, October 26 at the Parish Hall
includes some rare and intimate
scenes inside an igloo (Eskimo word
for home).
The audience is taken through
an entire day from the family’s
waking between reindeer skins on
the floor through a wildly primitive.
Eskimo dance in the evening.
Mother hangs out Monday’s wash
with her baby on her back, Eskimo
children go to school, brother gath
ers ice for water—these and other
events make up the day of the far
northern homemaker. Such atten
tion to detail has earned the Mach
etanz movie the accolade, “finest
documentary ever filmed,” from
George Pierrot, director of the fa
mous World Adventure series.
Not of least interest is the fact
that women in the audience will
come away with a recipe for genuine
Eskimo ice cream or "a-koo-tuk”—a
dish which Mr. Machetanz assures
us will cause guests to declare they
“never tasted anything like it in
their lives.”
There will be two showings—at 7
and 9 p.m.
MAJORS NEWBOULD
OPEN NEW RED SHIELD
CENTER IN FAIRBANKS
—
Installation of a new Salvation
Army Red Shield center in Fair
banks and enlargement of the Red
Shield center in Anchorage are re
ported by Major Eric Newbould,
commander of the Alaska Salvation
Army, who returned to Juneau last
week after a trip through the Terri
tory.
Mrs. Newbould, also a major in
the Salvation Army and in charge
of women’s activities for her or
ganization in Alaska, accompanied
her husband on the territorial in
spection trip.
Both are enthusiastic over the
new Red Shield center in Fairbanks.
It will be used to aid in the housing
of transients and soldiers, regard
less of creed or faith, Major New
bould said. The lounge, reading
room and chapel will be available
for service personnel and civilians
engaged on defense projects in the
interior city.
For several years Fairbanks has
been seeking a Red Shield center,
but lack of money, property and
personnel has prevented the en
trance of this activity into the town ;
until nOw.
"The dedication of our building
in Fairbanks is gratifying to us,”,
Major Newbould said. "The Red
Shield center gives us a shelter al
most in the center of town. There
are dormitory accommodations for,
22 persons, with beds in the separate
rooms for six more.
“Ceremonies were held Sunday
afternoon, with Major Robert
Hoopes representing Fairbanks as a
principal speaker. The president of
the Central Labor Council and
representatives of the Ministerial
Association and Ladd air base were
also on the program.”
In Anchorage, Major Newbould
supervised the establishment of en
larged quarters for the Red Shield
center in a recently purchased (
property which will allow sleeping i
space for 80 to 90 homeless men a
night.
“If we had more room, we would
be sleeping more men,” Major New- j
bould said. “With the mines closing
down, and people still flocking into
Anchorage, there is a definite need j
of the service we are able to pro
vide. People who come to town broke,
have no money for hotels or rooms,
even when they get jobs, until their
first pay day. These men we help
and wish we were able to aid more j
of them.”

Frank Nash Will
Retire Soon from
Road Commission Job
The Alaska Road Commission an
nounces with regret' the impending
retirement of Frank Nash, District
Engineer, Alaska Road Commission,
Fairbanks.
Nash is one of the oldest em
ployees in point of service of the
Alaska Road Commission. He has
had over thirty-one years of Fed
eral Service and entered the em
ployment of the Alaska Road Com
mission on June 1, 1924. He was
employed as a surveyor, foreman,
and engineer until July 1, 1929,
when he was appointed Acting Sup
erintendent of the Fairbanks Dis
trict. On January 1, 1930, he was
promoted to the position of Sup
erintendent of the Fairbanks Dis
trict (later changed to District
Engineer i and he has served in
that position continuously for over
twenty years until the present time.
During the early period of Nash's
service with the Alaska Road Com
mission, Fairbanks was a pioneer
community and the dog team was
the only way of travel when the
winter snows had covered the coun
try. Nash was an outstanding ex
pert with dog team transportation
and made many long and arduous
journeys by this means for the Al
aska Road Commission, exploring
the Yukon and Tanana River ba
sins before they were opened up
by roads. He was familiar with
Beaver, Fort Yukon, Circle, Eagle,
the Forty Mile, and Upper Tanana
River long before the Steese High
way and the Alaska Highway were
conceived. Later Nash was intimate
ly concerned with the construction
of roads into all these regions and
their improvement to the present
high standard. He also was deepiy
concerned with the development of
roads in outlying localities such as
Hot Springs, Ruby, Wiseman, and
many other places. His work was of
a very high caliber, and he has
been recommended for the Meritor
ious Service Award of the Depart
ment of the Interior in recogni
tion of his long and excellent ser
vice.
Nash is one of Alaska's outstand
ing citizens. He has been active in
the work of the Rotary Club and
the American Legion and has serv
ed as Department Commander and
Alternate Executive Committee
man of Alaska for the American
Legion. His retirement will take
effect about November 25, 1950, af
ter the completion of field opera
tions of the Alaska Road Commis
sion for the working season of this
year.
