To Stage Musical
In Near Future
HEADQUARTERS, 11th AAF
.SERVICE COMMAND — First
rumblings of ano'her extravagan
za for Anchorage and Alaska
Amry posts were heard today as
the Special service Office of the
Service Command announced
casting of “The Magic Wing”, an
original musical comedy to be
produced by the same men who
gave Anchorage “10.000 Nights in
An Igloo” and “The Doughgirls."
Capt. Joseph M. Zeckhauser,
guiding genius of the previous
air force shows, said that the new
musical will actually be a product
of the entire 11th AAF. Top sol
dier en‘ertainers from airbases
spread in a 2.500-mile arc from j
Southeastern Alaska to Attu will
fly to Anchorage to participate. 1
In addition, all 11th AAF men
have been invPed to enter a con
test to write the best song for the
finale. The title Is “Men of the
11th Air Force,” and the prize is
a free trip to Mt. McKinley, all j
expenses paid.
The libretto for the show is
strictly wondrous, according to
the captain. “It seems that two
G.I.’s on a 3-day pass in India
buy a magic carpet so they can
get home to the Ozarks for a
furlough. But they get tired of
the confusion in the States, so
they take off for amazing places
and wondrous things.”
The writer. Pvt. Hal Kierce of
Fort Richardson, says his plot
gives him wide latitude. He
proves this by having his charac
ters end up in the 11th AAF in
the Aleutians. Song writer, Sgt.,
Ross Miller, also of Fort Rich-1
TTTT*r*. r r r r *r*r *7* x v VT r T r r T
ardson, is presently doing a dozen
or more originals lor the show.
Following the Anchorage show
ing, which is tentatively set for
early October, 'The Magic
Wing” will take to the road and
play at several airbases in the
Aleutians. The original cast of
25 or more will tour with the
show all the way.
Special Service officers of all
airbases have already been noti
fied to interview G. I. singers,
dancers, magicians, ’ comedians,
novelty ac‘s, stage managers and
set designers.
All proceeds from the show will
go to an Alaskan charity.

poems of Rupert Brooke have
been sold during the last year.
APer Brooke, the leaders are
Tennyson, Shelley, Keats. Brown
ing and the moderns. French and

SHARKS HELD
TENDER EATING
CHARLESTON. S. C. —<AP>—
Native prejudice and superstition
to the contrary, shark meat is ed
ible, tasty—in fact a table deli
cacy, repor's the State Board of
Fisheries.
Shark meat, when kippered or
lightly smoked, resembles salmon
and fresh shark steaks are some
times compared to halibut, the
board says.
Mussels and eels, plentiful
along the Carolina coast but sel
dom used for food, are ge'ting
more attention from commercial
fishers. The mussel has been
found to have a flavor like the
”lon) necked or soft clam”, the
board reports.
A DIET OF SNAKE FILLETS
CHAPEL HILL, N. C. — <AP>—
Lt. Don Kepler of the Navy Pre
Flight school’s survival class
shows cadets how to catch snakes,
skin, cook and eat them as part
of a demonstration that lost fliers
can live off the country. The only
trouble is that cadets have to see
‘ome one relish copperhead steak
first before they will touch it and
since classes change every two
weeks, Kepler is getting more
than his fill of snake fillets.
