CAPITOL THEATRE
"Stars in My Crown," at the Capi
tol Theatre, is a tenderly-unfolded,
heartwarming story of a small
Southern settlement at the close oi
the Civil War and of a two-fisted
preacher who leads the way in mak
ing his community a better place
in which to live.
The picture has been beautifully
east, with Joel McCrea’s portrait
of the parson, who can preach with
ais fists as well as with words, one
of the most satisfying character
■zations he has ever attempted.
Ellen Drew is excellent as his in
dustrious young wife, with Dean
Stockwell winning many of the
laughs in the role of little John
who would like it always to be
lUmmer so that there would be no
chool.
Standing out in a large support
ing cast are Alan Hale as the par
ion’s staunch supporter, Lewi
Stone as the beloved Doc Harris,
3r., James Mitchell as the son who
follows in his footsteps.
“Stars in My Crown” will be at
the Capitol tonight and Fridry for
he benefitt of the Parent-Teachers
Association scholarship fund.
CHRISTENSON BACK
ON NEW LEGS AND
GOING TO PEUCAN
Getting accustomed to artificial
legs is a pretty uncomfortable job,
thinks Helvig Christenson, whose
legs were amputated just below the
knees last December after they
■vere frozen.
Chris returned Tuesday from
Seattle where he has been since the
first of February for additional
medical attention and a fitting. He
planned to leave today for Pelican
where he is anxious to get his ma
chine shop in shape for the coming
fishing season.
“I’ve only had these new pins
for a week, but I’ll get used to
them,” he said. “At the Lundberg
Artificial Limb Co. where I was
fitted, everyone in the place is an
amputee. They were reluctant to
fit me so soon, since it is only four
months after my amputation. Usu
ally it takes from six to 10 months
1 before artificial legs can be worn.
“At the Virginia Mason Clinic,
Dr. Louis Edmunds said that Dr.
J. O. Rude and Dr. John Clements
had certainly done a wonderful job
on me.”
Despite the pain involved in wear
ing the new devices, Chris is in
good spirits, cheerful and anxious
to get back to his Pelican shop,
where his wife, Alpha, and three
children, Roger 16, Gloria 9, and
Duane 1, are waiting for “Daddy’s
return.”
“Everyone everywhere has been
wonderful to me and I am grateful
for the kindness of the people of
' Pelican, the organizations, unions
! and friends who have made it pos
sible for me to get back on my feet
—no, not my feet, but feet, again,'
he concluded.
Christenson’s feet were frozen
following the shipwreck of the Dixie
on Yaboki Rock last November. He
was on the rock for five days in
freezing weather until he was res
cued.

LAST CHANCE TO GET
TYPHOID SHOTS WILL
BE TOMORROW A.M.
Those persons who have not fin
ished their typhoid series, due to
the fact that at the last clinic
there was insufficient vaccine, may
go to the Health Center tomorrow
morning between 10 and 11 o'clock
to get their final shot. As this will
be the last clinic in the series all
those who have not completed are
urged to go in. The Health Center
will only offer the typhoid shots
between those hours and will not
be open Friday evening. As a per
son’s immunity to typhoid is not
insured without completing the
Series oi three shots, it is very im
portant that all who have not com
pleted go to the Health Center
tomorrow morning.
Smallpox vaccinations will also be
given tomorrow morning at the
same hours for those who desire to
renew their immunity to smallpox.
