NORTHERN LIGHTS
^Dwight Hammack, the Califor
nian who came to Alaska to or
ganize the staff which is now
taking the 1940 census in the Ter
ritory, saw the northern lights at
both Fairbanks and Nome. He

"I coudn't help thinking,” said
Mr. Hammack, “what Los An
gles would do with a display
like that.”
PROGRESS FOOTNOTE
One of the applied inventions
of this war, according to the
hopes of the steel technicians, will
be armor for soldiers. The three
most promising types are one
piece breast plates (as in the
Middle Ages), chain mail (as in
the Crusades) and metal strips
attached to fabric (as in Ancient
Greece).
THE ESKIMOS HAD NO
WORD FOR IT
Practically every race or na
tionality in the world has a word
for war or revenge, but not the
Eskimo, says Dr. Victor Levine
on his return to Creighton Uni
versity after a year spent in Al
aska. With Father Bernard Hub
bard, Professor Levine spent last
winter on King Island. He pass
ed through Juneau southbound
just about the time the war was
getting well under way in Eu
mpe. Now he's back in a war
world wishing he were up north
with the peaceful Eskimos—The
Daily Alaska Empire, Juneau.
Editor’s note: The doctor may
no! have an Eskimo word for
■war but the Eskimos have—
On g-oo-yeow-ti.

By Chuck Cochard
HOLLYWOOD (Exclusive) —
Hollywood’s gone American with
the greatest number of stories

the* screen based upon early Revi
i olutionary days and the building
| of the United States.
Both MGM and Warners havej

■ life of Benjamin Franklin. In .
i addition, there will be a couple j
of pictures on Thomas Edison’s
i life. At several studios, there
may be films about Alexander
Hamilton, Benedict Arnold, and
George Washington.
Hats off to Hollywood for its
I move in this direction. It has
i always been our contention that
j the movies could be entertaining
as well as educational. Now Holly
wood has proven this.

If your’e interested, the movie
stylists are telling everyone that
the blouse will be all the go for
the fall wardrobes. Blouses of
all kinds.
