"RED PONY" FILM,
DELIGHTFUL MOVIE
BILL AT CAPITOL
A refreshing theme, coupled with
an outstanding cast and a fine
script are only a few of the factors
which help to make Republic’s "The
Red Pony,” opening tonight at the
| Capitol Theatre, a motion picture
to delight the jaded tastes of
sophisticated movie-goers. A Charle
K. Feldman presentation, the Tech
nicolor version of John Steinbeck's
best selling novel stars Myrna Loy
and Robert Mitchum with Louis
Calhern, Shepperd Strudwick and
Peter Miles playing other top roles.
There is conflict in this story, as
in the usual movie plot. This time,
however, it is not a triangle of two
men and a girl, or two girls and a,
man. “The Red Pony” depicts the
antagonism which grows up between
a nine-year-old boy, his father and
the hired man. The father, having
"married into” a ranch family, i
unable to adjust himself to ranch
life after leaving the teaching pro
fession. Hard as he tries, the wistful
man cannot grow closer to his fam
ily. He is deeply grateful to his
serene wife for her skillful effor.s
to bring him into the family circle,
but takes out his nervous resent
ment of the situation on his old
father-in-law.
Then, when his only son turns to
the hired man for training, affec
tion and guidance in all things the I
father's unhappiness reaches its |
poignant crest. How he works his'
way out of despair to contentment, |
with the indirect aid of a small red j
pony, makes for one of the most1
dramatic and memorable climaxes
seen upon the screen.

LIBRARY FUND GETS
EXTRA $25 FROM ANB
Another unexpected $25 wa:
added today to the Juneau Memorial

nounced. The extra contribution

Brotherhood and was the amount
that the Juneau School Board
turned back to the lodge for the
use of the high school gym for the
Native dances held last month. The
dances were held to raise money to
fulfill the $250 pledged by the ANB
to the Library Fund.
In transmitting the check, the
Rev. Walter A. Soboleff wrote (
“Since the board felt such an en- j
deavor was all in the interest of a
Civic project we are glad to add the J
amount to what has already been j
made possible for this wonderful;
project.”
FIRE ATTACK ON U. S.
CITIES DISCUSSED IN
CIVIL DEF. BOOKLET
Since no area in the United State
will be immune from possible at
tack because of Its situation alone
the extent of fire from enemy ac
tion will be influenced by the char
acteristics of the target at the time
of the attack, is the message stated
in “Fire Effects of Bombing At
tacks,” a recent publication of the
national Civil Defense office.
The primary factors to be con
sidered in wartime fire attacks are
building density, combustibility ol
structures, firebreaks and size oi
target area. Contributing factor
are continuity of combustible con
struction, occupancy combustibility,
size of buildings and topography.
Weather factors are humidity, pre
cipitation and wind.
These factors are all present in
varying degrees in American citicr
and what happened in Germany
and Japan during the last war could
happen here. Adequate fire-control
planning for civil defense will de
pend to a great extent on an assess
ment of those characteristics oi
built-up areas which would mak<
them susceptible to fire storrrv> and
conflagrations.
The method involves resolving the
urban city areas into sub areas oi
fairy homogenous building density
The other factors can then be ap
plied to those sub areas to obtair
an estimate of their susceptibility
to fire and to the production ol
great mass fires.
Defining the areas of a com
munity in these terms will not only
assist in planning what to do in
case of attack, but will act as a
guide to long range planning de
signed to eliminate or reduce to a
minimum the existence of highly
vulnerable areas in our cities.
The outstanding feature of the
attacks on Japanese and German
cities in World War II was the ap
palling consequences of the ma
fires which took the form of fire
storms and conflagrations. Fire
storms were the result of incendiary
bombing.
Even though fire spread may oc
cur from some buildings to other
adjoining ones, such fires are un
likely to spread outside the plant
area or beyond the block or group
in which they occur because of fire7
wall barriers, streets, or other open
spaces. A more appropriate term for
a conflagration would be "group
fire.”
Fire storms and conflagrations
during the last war were produced
by very heavy attacks concentrated
in space and time which started
simultaneously a large number of
fires close together. Both mixed
high explosive and incendiary bombs
and the atomic bomb are capable
of producing such effects.
