Gruening Warns
'Prepare for Any
Eventuality’ in War
Ciov. Ernest Gruening Issued a
proclamation today which pulled
no punches regarding Alaska’s vul
nerable position in event of any
major foreseeable war, and called
upon all communities in the Terri
tory to “prepare immediately for
any eventuality.”
The proclamation particularly
called upon the director of civilian
defense — named recently as Col.
Joseph D. Alexander, acting adjut
ant general of the Alaska National
Guard—to establish and organize
defense facilities on a Territory
wide basis and to “cooperate with
the various communities in pro
moting similar preparedness and
organization within their bound
aries.”
Alaska’s geographical anu logistic
position suggests the possibility of
its direct involvment in any con
flict, the governor proclaimed, and
so "all communities are urged to
avail themselves of whatever facili
ties may be procurable.”
Preliminary work toward organi
zation of a civilian defense agency
was done last week in Anchorage,
at a meeting of the governor, Col
onel Alexander, and Lieut. Gen.
Nathan F. Twining.
Mayors of all cities were called
upon to make plans for defense and
to issue suggestions as to what
should be done to suit the particular
terrain in event of attack.

6RABLE, DAILEY IN
FEATURE SATURDAY
AT 20TH CENTURY
___ I
Betty Grable and Dan Dailey,
that wonderful team of "Mother
Wore Tights,” have been brought
together in another story about
show business that for human;
warmth, dramatic appeal and song
and dance excitement is even
grander than its predecessor.
The picture is "When My Baby j
Smiles At Me" which has been
photographed in Technicolor, and
starts tomorrow at the Gross 20th
Century Theatre. This is the story.
of show people as they really are.
on stage, back stage and olf stage
life of a couple who tried to climb
the ladder of the "big time” to
gether.
Briefly, "When My Smiles at Me,”
is the dramatic love story of the
devotion of a beautiful burlesque
soubrette—in the days when bur
lesque was at its greatest—married
to a loveable but undependable
comic, with talents outstripping his
sobriety. It’s a story packed with
honest emotion, the color and ex
citement of the flambouyant world
that was the stage, and the give
and-take drama of show business it
self.
Two new song hits, "By the Way”
and “What Did I Do?”, highlight the
scintillating musical score of the
film which George Jessel produced
with all the know how that has
made him one of the best showmen
if all time.
CHANGES MADE IN
HIKING CLUB TRIPS
The executivt committee of the
"Shank, Ship and Shutter” club
met at the home of Dr. I. J. Mont
gomery Thursday evening and It

in a daylight trip over Mt. Roberts
to Thane, leaving from the high
school Saturday morning, July 22
at 7 a.m.
Twelve hours will be required to
make the 12 mile hike, and only
those in good physical condition
should attempt it. If sufficient re
port, a bus will provide transporta
tion Sunday at 1 p.in. to Menden
hall glacier, where the group will
hike to Nugget Creek dam, a two
mile hike.
Cooperating with the Golden Sal
mon derby, the boat trip to Tracy
Army has been postponed until
August 12. All members of the orga
nization are requested to attend a
general meeting to be held in the
