Mr. and Mrs. Voter . . .
The Chamber of Commerce has endorsed the plan
to build an Alaska National Guard Armory here.
The Home Arts Club, a women’s organization, has
indicated directly to the legislators the need for the
construction of this large building.
Both organizations will continue to back the proj
ect as much as they are able.
But is now up to the residents to write their
legislators personally, voicing their opinion on the
need of this building and the importance of the project,
not only to Nome, but to the Seward Peninsula. Backed
by your personal letters, the legislators have more
encouragement to ask for the necessary 25 percent of
the cost which will be necessary from territorial funds.
We urge our readers who are interested in the
development of the Scout Battalion, as well as in civic
projects which need room for expansion, to start their
letters now.

National Guard
Armory Funds Bill
JUNEAU — A bill to authorize
a territorial bond issue to pro
vide funds for construction of
National Guard Armories at ten
Alaska cities, was introduced to
day in the House of Represen
tatives.
The bill, introduced by four
Democrats and two Republicans,
calls for bonds to be sold and the
revenue be made available to the
Alaska National Guard on a loan
basis.
Such a law is necessary if the
territory is to obtain federal aid
funds for the construction of the
armories.
The 81st Congress authorized
appropriations which would pay
75 per cent of the cost of the
armories if the territory would
pick up the tab on the remaining
25 per cent of the costs.
The community center armor
ies and the costs were set out in
the bill as follows:
Anchorage $215,570, Bethel
$357,250, Fairbanks $186,220,
Homer $63,450, Juneau $287,500,
Ketchikan $123,500, Nome $324,
500, Kodiak ^additions to the
present armory) $20,000, Sitka
(renovations) $15,000 and Hoo
nah $5,000.

‘Sun Valley Serenade’ Stars Big Names
And Bright Tunes of A Decade Ago
“Sun Valley Serenade,” Twen
tieth Century-Fox’s gay musical
on skates and skis, starring Sonja
Henie and John Payne and fea
turing the irresistible rhythms of
the late Glenn Miller and his or
chestra, will be playing at The
Theater tonight and Saturday.
This romantic musical was rated
as one of Hollywood’s top at
tractions when it was first re
leased more than a decide ago.
The blending of romance, sports,
comedy and tunes by Miller’s
band, which was rated as Amer
ica’s No. 1 band at the time, gives
the picture a high entertainment
quotient. The musical genius of
the famous trombone player re
cently provided the inspiration
for the successful “Glenn Miller
Story” film.
i While Miss Henie and Mr.
Payne took care of the romancing,
much of which was on the ice
and snow of Sun Valley, Idaho,
America’s winter wonderland,
Milton Berle, Joan Davis and
EBEN BROS.

edy in the sparkling story. In ad
dition to playing four tunes writ
ten especially for the picture by
Mack Gordon and Harry War
ren, Glenn Miller and his band
also play their famous arrange
ment of “In the Mood,” which
was a hit record at the time. The
Gordon-Warren tunes include “I
Know Why and So Do You,” ‘It
Happened in Sun yalley,” “Chat
tanooga Choo Chpo” and “The
Kiss Polka.”
