W/io's Sadder?
You or life 7
You'ra tad—because you’d like to have a nice new General
Electric Refrigerator right this very day, but you can’t get onel
We’re tad—because it’s our business to provide people with
General Electric Refrigerators, but we just don’t have enough
to go around.
And it’s nobody’s fault in particular. The General Electric
people have a refrigerator factory as big as all outdoors (or
nearly). It’s equipped with the last word in production ma
chinery. And it’s turning out refrigerators at an amazing rate.
But so many people want a G-E-and won't take any other
make—that there are still more people waiting in line than
there are refrigerators coming off the line.
It’ll pay you, though, to wait for your General Electric. Re
member—a refrigerator is something-you buy for the years
ahead. And no refrigerator will serve you better through those
years a famous, dependable General Electric.

In the climax of “ADAM’S'

Tracy, “There’s no difference i
between a man and a woman.” !
“Are you kidding,” he says.
“Well, there might be a lit
tle difference,’’ she admits.
He retorts, “As the French
say, ‘Vive la difference,’ —
hurray for that little differ
ence.”

Capt.,Mrs. Barrington
On Month's Visit Here!
_
He’s Uncle Hill to half the town
of Oak Harbor, Wash., where he
also has been mayor.
He’s known as skipper along the
Yukon and the Stikine.
But it’s being grandfather to the
three young children of Mr. and
Mrs. W. H. (Bill) Barrington, Jr.,
that Capt. W. Hill Barrington is
enjoying for a month.
He and Mrs. Barrington have
just made the acquaintance of their
youngest grandson, 8-month-old
Edward John, since arriving Sat
urday on the Princess Louise. The
Juneau family has visited them
cnee since their last trip here
three years ago.
Alaska is really home to the
whole family. The Captain has been
coming here since 1897. From 1916
to 1943, he operated four “Hazel B"
vessels on the Stikine River, the
Hazel B 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Then he and his brother, Sid,
chartered the Aksala (“Alaska,”
spelled backward) from the White
Pass and Yukon Railway, and op
erated the vessel for two years..
Their first load was 1.500 miles
down the river, 200 up the Tanana
and 400 to Galena. In their five
trips, they _ took 8,000 tons of
freight, with the boat and four
barges. When the war ended, they
took the whole string up to White
horse, picking up the junior Bar
ringtons at Eagle.
“I met Mildred Ward of Ska.gway
at Dawson in 1913,” said the cap
tain, ‘‘and it wasn’t long beiore
she was Mrs. Barrington.” She had
lived in' Skagway since she was 8
years old.
After the war the Captain bought
a men’s furnishings store at Oak
Harbor, the Naval Air Station on
Wliidby Island, near Seattle.
But they just have to get to Al
aska once in a while. Home, you
know.
HOSPITAL NOTES

BIG WIND IS TOO
MUCH FOR SHOW.AT
CAPITOL THEATRE
One of the most exciting hurri
canes ever filmed appears in J.
Arthur Rank's "The Blue Lagoon,"
but it was recorded when the pro
duction unit got its “second wind."
The Technicolor adventure film,
starring Jean Simmons, is now play
ing for the last times tonight at the
Capitol Theatre.
The unit was "shooting” on loca
tion in the Fiji Islands when the
real thing struck—a tropical storm
during which the wind reached a
hundred miles per hour. Just such
a storm was called for In the script,
but it wasn’t filmed, because neither
the camera crew nor the actors
could stand up while it was blowing.
Instead, everyone found shelter,
and after the typhoon was over,
wind machines created a man-made
hurricane. "The Blue Lagoon” is
the story of a boy and girl who
grew up alone on a desert island
after a shipwreck. Released by Uni
versal-Internationl, it is a Gilliat
Launder Production and an Indi
vidual Picture, directed by Frank
Launder.
hM Education Man
Returns from Visit
To Coastal Schools
Martin N. B. Holm, education
.specialist of the ‘Alaska Native Serv
ice, returned yesterday afternoon
from a seven weeks trip visiting
the ANS schools along the Alaska
coast.
On September 2 he flew to Point
Barrow where he joined the ANS
supply ship. North Star. Holm ar
rived there the morning of Septem
ber 3 at 4 o'clock with his plane,
making a turnaround to deliver 15
students to the Mt. Edgecumbe vo
cational school. He reports that the
students arrived at the school the
same day utilizing Pan Am out of
Fairbanks and Alaska Coastal Air
lines out of Juneau.
Schools visited by Holm were on
the Arctic Ocean, Kotzebue Sound,
Seward Peninsula, Little Diomede
Island, King Island, Gambcll and
Sevonga on St. Lawrence Island,
Mekoryuk on Menivak, Norton
Sound, Taunak on Nelson Island,
Akutan and Perryville in the Aleu
tians and five on Kodiak. There
were a total of 31 of the 96 ANS
schools visited by Holm on his
6,000 mile yearly trip to the coastal
and island schools.
About 150 King Islanders and
their skin boats were transported
from Nome where they work during
the summer months longshoring and
carving in ivory. The larger of the
skin boats measuring from 37 to
50 feet in length can carry a total
of 21 barrels of oil with an outboard
motor as the power unit, Holm re
ports. A total of 2,300 tons of freight
were lightered in at Nome from the
North Star in four days.
Tho North Star was able to cut
21 days from her schedule because
of the lack of ice in the Arctic
Ocean. The weather was excellent
for the trip, Holm continued.
Bush pilots aided Holm by beach
landings in visiting schools at St
Michael, Stebbens, Koyuk, White
Mountain and Solomon. This was
his twenty-fourth supervisory trip
in 20 months. He reports that the
new school building at Kivalina we
being used for the first time. En-1
rollment is up in most of the
schools. The school year starts dur
ing the last part of August or the I
first part of September in the ANS1
schools.

SUPERINTENDENTS
ACCOMPLISH MUCH
i AT 3-DAY MEETING
—
i Long, concentrated sessions in- j
! reiving statistics and other figure- '
i occupied Alaska school superintend
ents for mest of their three-day
i Advisory Conference last week,
j Several important matters were
accomplished, according to Dr j
I James C. Ryan, Territorial Edu-!
! cation Commissioner.
I The group will make three rec- ]
: ommendations to the Territorial
, B, aid of Education before its meet
ling early in 1951. These concern
j a formula for assigning the 'num
ber of teachers to an individual
school; a request for legislation to
change the method of paying Ter
ritorial refunds to incorporated
'school districts, and an amendment
I to requirements for high school
j graduation.
Although there are other details,
the change in provision would, in
! effect, eliminate biology as a defi
| nite requirement.
A method for making school re
| funds was worked out, but some
I points could not be considered for
lack of time.
The group, which numbered 22 of
Alaska's 26 superintendents, ad
mitted the Mt. Edgecumbe School
and Sheldon Jackson High School
[to tlie Alaska Athletic Association,
I specifying that these schools will
l be bound by the same rules as
those for Territorial schools.
Mt. Edgecumbe is operated by
the Alaska Native Service, and
Sheldon Jackson, by the Presby
terian Church.
Alcng with the Thursday-Fritiay
Saturday conference, Dr. Ryan, as
chairman, called a meeting of the
Alaska State Committee, North
west Association of Secondary
Schools.
Nineteen applications for 1950-51
membership in the association were
! received—eighteen renewals and a
Inew one from Kodiak Naval Oper
ating Base.
I The Committee (Ryan, Sterling S.
Sears, Juneau, and Theron Cole,
Sitka) will recommend them all to
the December regional conference
in Spokane, accompanying the re
port with comments concerning
credits.
Of the 26 superintendents, only
those from Pelican, Unalaska, Sel
dovia and Eagle were unable to
attend.
Not a superintendent, but an in
.erested party attending the confer
ence was Luther Case, head ot the
elducaticn Department, Univers.ty
-f Alaska.
