'DAVID CROCKETT'
IS THRILLER NOW
BILLED AT CAPITOL
Creating new frontiers in the far
west a century ago was adventurous
and exciting, as well as a thorough
ly hazardous experience. It took
men —and women—of courage and
(daring to attempt it. Many pic
ture producers have turned out
films, such as “Cimmaron" and
“Red River,” which have demon
strated the rugged determination of
our forefathers to carve a new
homeland out of the wilderness of
the west.
Now Edward Small comes forth
with a film, “Davy Crockett—In
dian Scout,” which had its premiere
yesterday at the Capitol Theatre,
. and co-starring George Montgom
| ery and Ellen Drew. As every stu
dent of American history knows,
I the real Davy Crockett was orig
inallyy a backwoodsman from Ten
I nessee who, when he wasn't serving
i in the legislature, was busy carving
out difficult frontiers in the west.
He was also an expert on Indian
matters.
In his tense, thrill-packed pro
duction, "Davy trockett — Indian
Scout,” Small tells us a story of
still another wagon train of hope
i ful and courageous men, women
1 and children just emerging on a
i new frontier, but who are hindered
ty the awareness of the threat of
: hostile Indian tribes.

HEAD OF CANCER
DRiVEJN APRIL
Thomas A. Morgan, President of
the Columbia Lumber Co. of Ju

Chairman of the Alaska Cancer
Crusade. Morgan will head up a
Territorial-wide campaign for funds
beginning in April, in which towns
and villages, as well as navy and
military installations and govern
ment agencies throughout the Ter
ritory, will participate. This is ac
cording to announcement made to
day from the Territorial headquar
ters of the Alaska Division of the
American Cancer Society, by Mild
red R. Hermann, Commander of
the Alaska Division.
“We are deeply appreciative of
Mr. Morgan’s acceptance of this
very important job,’ Mrs. Hermann
stated. "His wide knowledge of the
Territory and his intense and con
tinued interest in the betterment
of conditions in the community and
the Territory, make him an ideal
person to head this important
work.”
Mr. Morgan expressed satisfaction
over the fcask he has been delegated
to do.
“Cancer is the second greatest
killer of mankind,” he said. "Its
death toll annually is staggering
Anything that we can do to strike
back at cancer should be done will
ingly and eagerly.”
Pointing out that April is Can
cer Control month by act of Con
gress and Presidential proclama
tion, Morgan explained that the
Crusade would start in April ana
be completed in May in most of
the larger communities. “We want
people to give all they can to help
with this program, but we are
mindful there are other worthy
agencies seeking funds throughout
the year, so we are reluctant to
establish a set goal for any com
munity,” Morgan said.
Sixty per cent of all funds col
lected in the Cancer Crusade re
main in Alaska to be used for the
benefit of Alaskans. Twenty-five
per cent goes for research, and

THE STORY OF A
PUP THAT GREW
Lightning, a 129-pound crated
friendly passenger, arrived here
from Cordova yesterday via Pacific
Northern Airlines enroute by Alaska
Coastal Airlines to Ketchikan to
join his family.
Lightning, is a husky-wolf mixture
dog belonging to Bob Livingston
with ACS, who was transferred from
Cordova to Ketchikan. Last evening
when the crate was parked for a
short time in front of the PNA of
fice, it almosj caused a traffic jam
with kids inspecting the dog.
It was in 1948 that Livingston
who was stationed at Anchorage
then, took long walks into "the
surrounding country and found a
tiny, scrawny, pathetic pup in the
woods. He took it home and fed it.
It grew and grew and grew until
feeding the dog became a budgetary
problem. By that time Bob had
grown so fond of Lightning that he
became a member of the family.

"RAWHIDE" NOW
FEATURED MOVIE
AT 20TH CENTURY
A sizzling love scene H.’tween
Tyronne Power and Susan Hay
ward In “Rawhide,” now at the
20th Century Theatre had to be
filmed in two separate shots, to
prevent the torrid romantic inter
lude from icing over.
Although the sequence, one of
the many exteriors filmed on lo
cation at Lone Pine, Calif., was to
have been completed in its entire
ty there, an unexpected seige ol
frigid weather brought out goose
pimples and set teeth to chatterlnp
on the outdoor set.
“People can’t kiss when theii
lips are blue with cold," directoi
Henry Hathaway observed. While
the embrace between the co-star:
was filmed at Lone Pine, therefore,
the close-up of their ardor was de
layed until the company returned
to a warm sound stage at the
studio.
WELFARE BOARD
WILL MEET HERE
FOR THREE DAYS
The Board of Public Welfare will
meet In Juneau, next Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday, Henry
A. Harmon, director of the depart
ment said today.
The board will review the report
of operations for the past biennium
and take up various changes made
by the recent legislature. These
changes involve increases in Aid
to Dependent Children grants; the
extension of assistance to children
from 16 to 18 years who are reg
ularly attending school; the elim
ination of the "loco parentis” pro
vision in the Aid to Dependent
Children law and the inclusion of
the relative with whom the child
is living.
Changes affecting the Old Age
Assistance law is the provision for
giving Old Age Assistance to non
citizens who have been legal resi
dents of the Territory since 1935.
Changes in the maximum allow
ances of the General Relief Pro
gram will also come up and be con
sidered.
The Aid to the Blind Program
and the program authorizing the
Department of Public Welfare to
license and supervise nurseries and
foster homes, are new programs for
the coming biennium and will re
quire the formulating of plans and
the adopting of regulations lay the
Board, under which the programs
will function.
It will be necessary for the Board
to decide the- allocation of funds
under the various programs, as a
number of the appropriations were
less than the anticipated need
and will require decisions and re
stricted policies in order that the
Department can operate within the
appropriation.
General discussions on various
welfare problems in the Territory
will be held, and it is hoped that
many of these problems can be
solved during the next biennium.
Members attending will be: Rev.
G. Edgar Gallant, 1st Division
Member, Mrs. Prances Longley, 2nd
Divisiop Member, Mrs. Evangeline
Atwood, 3rd Division Member and
