FROM SITKA
(Special Correspondence)
SITKA, Alaska, March 4 — The
wind stortn last night, which is re
ported to have reached 80 miles
an hour in gusts, resulted in some
damage around town. The Cold
Storage Store lost a large plate
^lass window; Mike Pusich’s plane
was flipped over at the float and
n Alaska Coastal plane flipped j
iver on top of it. Both planes were |
badly damaged but it is believed j
that Pusich’s plane can be re
3 ired. Another Alaska Coastal
plane, stored in Pros Ganty’s hang
ar on Swan Lake was left undam
aged as the hangar was blown into
he middle of Swan Lake, leaving
the plane sitting in the middle ot
nothing.
Several buildings were stripped of
their aluminum roofing and many
chimneys were blown away
Greatest inconvenience w a s
caused by lack of electricity as the
result of two transformers blowing
out. The entire town was left with
out light or power for several hours,
off and on during the night. Those
families which rely on electric
blankets were hardest hit. Others
who have electrically operated fur- !
naces and heaters weren’t far be
hind in discomfort. Many homes ■
and business establishments had i
their water pipes and drains fro
zen. And the weather showed no
signs of changing.
.“The Night of January 16", a play
sponsored by the Soroptomists,
presented last Friday and Satur
day evenings, was a great success
both as entertainment and as a
financial venture. As an amateur
production, the play was far above
average, holding the audience
through every moment of the even
ing which was remarkable since
the entire play was lacking in ac
tion, all three scenes being in the
court room during a trial for mur
der.
Those taking part in the play
were Frank Richards, Ivan Rezek,
Lloyd Hames, Paul Dupler, Duke ;
Mitrovich, Dorothy Bilbo, Sue Du- '■
pier, C. G. Hansen, Jack Goolsby, j

Morris, Muriel Meredity, Howard !
Taubeneck, Catherine Shennett,
Russell Clithero, Frank Crosby and
Esther Clithero. The play was di
rected by Soroptomist Club presi
dent Dorothy Bilbo.
Music before and between the
acts was provided by the Sitka
School Band under the direction j
3f Walter Birkeland. They did a
fine job and proved themselves
worthy of the town's backing to
send them to the music festival in
Ketchikan next month.
The Soroptomists are presenting
the band with half the proceeds
from the play for their festival
fund. The other half will go for
a $300 nursing scholarship which
the Soroptomists are starring this
year.
The Sitka High All-School play,
"We Shook the Family Tree” will
be presented this next Friday eve
ning at the school gym. In the
