HOLLYWOOD STAR-LITKS
By Chuck Cochard
► HOLLYWOOD (Excl-usivej —
Patriotism is running high in
Hollywood with the recently pass
ed Conscription'law and the New
National Defense program. All
of filmland’s studios will short
ly be making pictures which will
glorify the traditional American
fighting spirit.
Production has already started
on two patriotic features—“Ser
geant Sam Dreben, U. S. A.” at
0 20th Century-Fox studios and
“The Amazing Life of Sergeant
York” at Warners. Both films
will pn.sent the general spirit
which motivated the building of
the country from struggling set
tlements to its present position of
dominant world importance.
Few of these patriotic pictures
>Will have war backgrounds and
preachments of any sort will be
'barred. First, last, and always en
* tertainment value will come first.
Hollywood marches on.
The draft will take its toll
from the motion picture industry
however it is believed that those
persons in certain key positions
throughout the film industry will
be regarded as necessary both
for propaganda and as builders
of'morale' for the civilian popu
lation. Only highly trained spec
ialists will be regarded as “in
dispensable,” according to some
inside reports from Federal au
thorities. In other words the mo
tion picture industry will go on
as usual.
March of Time producers have
added a new ending to their first
f ature film “The Ramparts We
Watch” since the press preview.
It is sensational—and taken from
that much-ta'ked-of Nazi-Ger
man film “The Baptism of Fire”
which is usually shown to lead
ers of a country by Nazi official
just before the official “blitz
kr'.ig” starts in an effort to
frighten the leaders of the na
tion into submission without
war.

The JU-88 (above), produced in the Junker’s works and hailed by
the Germans as their “most modern horizontal and dive bomber”
is shown in flight. It was a plane of this type that was piloted by
Air Marshal Mermann Goering in his recent flight over England.
^ The Germa caption said: “This plane has proved its mettle in the
latest air raids over England.”

AS ALASKA’S BIGGEST paymaster, the Canned Salmon
l\ Industry gives employment to more than 11,000
Alaska workers and fishermen. During the fishing season
Salmon canneries alone give jobs to more Alaskans than
any other industry.
As Alaska’s biggest local customer, the Industry spends
over $10,000,000 annually—purchasing coal, lumber, wire
and other Alaska products .... helping other industries
meet their payrolls.
As Alaska’s biggest taxpayer, the Industry helps
provide the salaries for Alaska’s school teachers and
government officials.
So, fisherman or merchant, cannery worker or doctor,
you share in the prosperity of Alaska’s leading industry.

NEW PLANE MAIL ACT IS
EXPLAINED BY POSTMASTER
j All Mail Flown to Some Alaska
Points at Regular Rate
Recent legislation authorizing
j the Postoffice Department to car
i ry all classes of mail by plane in
I Alaska merely sets the seal of
: official approval on a practice
which has been in effect in the
Territory for some time, Post
1 master Albert Wile said.
Thia system, the legality of
, which is clearly established by
the new bill introduced by Dele
gate Dimond calls for all mail,
whether it carries airmail post
age or not to be carried by plane
to points not served by regular
authorized airmail routes.
For instance a letter for Sitka
is carried by plane even though
it bears only a three-cent stamp.
A letter or Fairbanks on the oth
er hand must carry a six-cent
airmail stamp as there is a reg
ularly established Juneau-Fair
banks airmail route.
The system has particular val
ue for the people of Nome who
will receive all mail at regular
rates by air during the winter.

NEW ARRIVALS ANCHORAGE
LIVE IN TENTS
Housing accomodations are so
scarce in Anchorage that new
arrivals are putting up tents for
habitations, and many of these
according to indications will be
occupied throughout the winter
Sam O. White wild life agent de
clared recently on his return to
Fairbanks.
No Hotel Rooms
“No hotel rooms are available
in Anchorage,” he said. “I was
glad to gut accomodations at the
home of a friend.
“A fall of eight or nine inches
of wet heavy snow in the past
few days made things uncomfort
able for occupants of tents.”
Mr. White left Fairbanks on
October 4 in the Alaska Game
Commission’s planu. He took
with him Wild Life Agent Clar
cnce J. Rhode. The latter is still
in Anchorage.
Witness Before Grand Jury
He will be a witness before the
grand jury in session there in
cases arising in the Third Divi
sion before his transfer to Fair
banks.
There is a second run of cari
bou across the Steese highway.
‘‘Animals in this run, accord
ing to reports reaching the Game
Commission’s office ana more nu
merous than in the first run of
several weeks ago,” Agent White
said.
