Student Body Play
Well Received and Appreciated
By Large Attendance
(Contributed)
CleveT characterizations, hil
arious comedy, and gay situa
tions kept a large appreciative
audience speechless with laugh
ter during the production of ‘The
Balmy Mr. Brown” at the school
gymnasium here Saturday night.
Bobby Scott as “Mr. Brown,”
Lois Ost as “Mrs. Dening,” Lin
coln Ost as the rube “Constabule
Boggs,” and Edith Hoop as
‘Daisy,” a country girl, gave out
standing impersonations. A clev
er and capable sustaining cast
made the play an outstanding
success. The play was a produc
tion of the Nome High School
and was capably directed by Cal
vin Pool assisted by Miss Thomp
son. Much of the success of the
iplay is due to the energy and
efficiency of the various student
committees and of faculty mem
bers. Townspeople who generous
ly contributed costumes and
stage properties have the sincere
thanks of the entire producing
group.
Needless to say, the play was a
•substantial financial success and
will ampljy replenish student
body funds, at a low ebb, since
the purchase of basketball suits,
baseball suits, and party dishes.
CHALLENGE TO TEACHERS
If this be treason make the
most of it, ladies.
Mrs. Eveuyn Millis Duval, dir
ector of Chicago’s Association
for Child Study and Parent Ed
ucation, speaks up against what
sthe calls “feminine dominance,”
in the classroom.
Coming from one of the sex.
Mrs. Duval’s complaint that wo
men teachers arc helping to pro
duce “sissies” among boys and
“dictatorial or weak-kneed hus
bands,” can’t be charged up to
masculine economic rivalry or
jealousy.
Mrs. Duval’s plea for more
men iteachers is feminism with a
brand-new twist.

English Public
Getting Angry
Over Bombings
LONDON, Feb. 4 (JP) —Explo
sions ait ten.-iminute intervals
started fires in a rheostatic air
plane parts factory at Slough,
fifteen miles from here.
A large stock of explosives found
missing from a munitions fac
tory intensified the greatest hunt
of its kind since the World War.
Thousands of detectives and po
lice throughout the United King
dom took part in the search for
the Irish Republicans blamed by
Scotland Yard for the series of
terroristic bombings.
Two more important subway
stations were bombed and eight
persons were injured.
A close guard was kept at all
vulnerable transportation, com
munication and utilities centers.
Police leaves were cancelled
and ten thousand are on duty,
and guns were given to some.
One report said hundreds of
tons of dynamite and arms were
hidden at various part of the
country.
The English public is slow to
get excited about anything but
is getting its dander up and is
becoming angry.
Income Tax Office Is Now Busy
Income tax returns covering
the business of the last year are
beginning to flow in, and the
Fairbanks office of the Internal
Revenue Department is taking
on unusual activity.
Mrs< Peggy Lyle, deputy in
charge of the Fairbanks office, re
ports many returns now being
received through her office, keep
ing her exceptionally busy thru
out the business hours.
“People of the Interior,” says
| Mrs. Lyle, “are just beginning
! to realize that this offce is here
; and can be of assistance to them
in matters concerning their tax
returns, and our office has never
! been so busy attending to those
! who call.”
The dead line for sending in
! income tax reports and returns
covering the year 1938 is March
15. Many are sending in their
returns early in order to avoid
the inevitable rush in the final
part of the period.
WAGE WIVES
“That the housewife should be
compensated along with the oth
er parts of the unit of labor can
not be denied,’’ believes Presi
dent J. Harvey Gravell of the
American Chemical Paint com
pany .
And suiting action to word he
gives a bonus to the wives of
workers at Christmas time, as
well as to the workers.
It is easy to overlook the role
of the housewife as a producer
in the economic setup—a produc
er entitled to compensation—
and more often than not she is
overlooked.
President Graveil’s thesis ap
pears to be a sound one.
