; He was assisted in the ceremony
by the Rev. Robert .Whelan, S. J.,

O.S.B.. of St. Martin's college at

PETERSBURG MAN
NOT IMPRESSED
BY CITY, SEATTLE
i _
‘‘Just like Juneau, only bigger,”
With these words, Cpl. William A.
Anderson, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs.
William A. Anderson of Petersburg,
summed up his first impression of
Seattle after reporting for duty with
the Alaska Communication System
in the Federal Building.
Born in Petersburg in 1928, Cpl.
Anderson's arrival in Seattle marked
he first time he had been out cd
the territory. He enlisted in the
Army in 1948 and was assigned to
the Alaska Communication System
after receiving his basic training at
Kodiak. Then followed service at
Juneau and at Adak.
Cpl. Anderson was not too im
pressed with Seattle’s 42-story Smith
Tower, either. He explained that
Juneau had a few tall buildings too.
For instance, a new 12 story apart
ment is being constructed here.
“Not only that," said young An
derson, "Juneau has the Baranof
Hotel, which is a tall building too.
As for office buildings, well the
Goldstein Building is five stories
high, and that's big in our town.”
Anderson’s only complaint about
his early experiences in Seattle was
that his feet were getting sore from
so much walking up and down hills.
He did venture a mild complaint,
too, about Seattle's night life—“it’s
not very exciting,’’ he declared after
visiting several places.
The young Alaskan expects a 30
day furlough to be forthcoming
which will permit him to take an
extended sightseeing trip around
the states before returning to duty
in Seattle. He intends to visit Cali
fornia and then go as far east as
time and money allows.
Cpl. Anderson is a graduate of
Petersburg High School where he
was active in the school band.
The elder Anderson is a well
known engineer of many year’s resi
dence in Petersburg.
WORK ON BURFORD
BUILDING TO BEGIN
Work Is expected to start soon
on the new Burford building across
the street from the Federal Build
ing, Jack Burford said today. Trlp
lette and Dalziel have the contract.
All subcontractors are local firms
with the following awards made:
Lemon Creek Sand and Gravel Co.,
McKinley Electric Co., Harri Plumb
ing and Heating, and the Ideal
Paint Store.

SCREEN SPECTACLE
OPENING TONIGHT
AT 20IH CENTURY
—
An epic spectacle cf romance,
'The Flame and the Arrow,” comes
to the 20th Century Theatre tonight.
Starring Burt Lancaster and Vir
ginia Mayo, the production was
filmed in Technicolor for Warner
Bros, release, over a year in the
making.
A story of medieval Italy re
volving around the hi--torical epi
sode when the mountain men of
Lombardy rose up under the daring
leadership of Dardo and fought the
Hessians who were seeking to run
their country. Against such a back
ground, the story projects the ro
mance which takes place between
the leader of the rugged Lombard
ians and the royal Anne of Hesse.
Action galore marks 'The Flame
and the Arrow” with Burt Lancaster,
himself a former circus acrobat, act- |
ually doing all his own derrlng-do, j
from fencing and archery, for the '
crossbow was the weapon of the1
day, to breath-taking acrobatic j
feats.
The story also calls for a group j
of tumblers to invade the royal [
castle as a ruse with stunts high ;
up in the rafters of its great hall, j

FWS COBB MILS FOR
EXPLORATORY WORK
ON ALBACORE BANKS
The John N. Cobb, Pish and Wild
life Service vessel, is leaving Seat
tle to continue the exploration fish
ing' for albacore tuna in ocean wa
ters off the eoasts of Oregon and
Washington.
This cruise is an extension of the
albacore tuna fishing carried on in
the seasons of 1949 and 1950. An
attempt will be made to intercept
the tuna at an early stage of their
inshore migration, while they are
still offshore from Washington and
Oregon, and to trace the speed and
direction of their movements.
Extensive experimental fishing
with gill nets and flagline gear is
planned. The Cobb will fish with
usual commercial gear such as sur
face trolled Jigs. In addition, both
nylon and linen gill nets, modified
from those used last season, will.be
fished. Flagline gear constructed of
wire will also be fished experiment
ally.
Oceanographic and other scienti
fic information related to the prob
lem will be collected. A dally broad
cast of findings will be made from
| the vessel to the fishing fleet.
