ROTARY CLUB MEETING
Dewey Goodrich, who attended
the district Rotary convention at
Tacoma recently, gave a brief
resume of the program which
lasted four days.
An excellent instructive color
film entitled “Alaska Gold” was
shown to the club. The film de
picted the many year-round oper
ations required to extract gold
from the frozen earth of the
Arctic. Each operation was shown
in detail as it occurs in the
•Fairbanks area, under the expert
operation of the U.S. Smelting
Co. The opening portion of the
film gave a historical survey of
the development of gold mining
from the primitive methods of
over 50 years ago, to the elabor
ate machine-manned methods of
today.

Junior-Senior Prom Will
Wind Up Social Season
The High School students are
having their annual Junior-Senior
Prom tomorrow evening at the
school auditorium and have been
busy for two days decorating lav
' ishly in spring colors.
This event will culminate the
school’s social activities and also
be a fitting close to Armed Forces
Day.

other special features should
bring out a large crowd for the

turn out to see and enjoy the
party with them.
