Y IS WOUNDED IN NEW TRADES Van Nuys, Cal. U.R) Sparkl ing film actress Jinx Falkenberg tilted her head and the pencils raced over drawing boards as more than' a score of convales cent soldiers turned their thoughts from the battlefield to the peaceful art of portrait paint ing. The scene was the army's Bir mingham general hospital in pic turesque San Fernando Valley, where hundreds ot Southern California soldiers are recuperat ing 1rom war wounds and learning a peacetime trade at the same time. The art class is only one of many types of classes in which veterans are training themselves for new jobs and rehabilitating themselves for old ones. Learn Radio Repair Men who were shoe clerks be fore the war will open their own radio repair shops because they have learned how to build a radio set while still in a wheel chair. Others, who drove trucks in civilian life, will emerge from the hospitals as typists, offering drastic changes in their occupa tional potentialities. When the primary purpose of such therapy is to provide the war wounded patients with self confidence, the. results have far exceeded the original motive, hospital attendants reported. Typing Opens Fields In the typewriting group more than 100 patients have learned the keyboard and have become moderately fast typists since the class began three months ago. One patient, with a head injury which paralyzed his side, is learning to type to regain the use of his hand. But the majority have express ed the desire to make typing an integral part of their postwar work. And so it Is in the other fields. In the radio repair class only one patient in a group of 30 had any previous technical radio ex perience. Now the entire class can take a set apart, repair it and even build their own seta. Several of the men plan to aban don their previous occupations and open up repair shops. Aid From Experts Civil service and companies with foreign holdings are as sured trained veterans with new found skills in foreign languages or advanced mathematics through these classes. To top oft the group instruc tion, individual help is given by members of the Hollywood writers mobilization to veterans interested in a writing career, while a group of talented and famous artists are instructing in sketching, painting and drawing. These are just a few of the classes, which include a variety of subjects and trades, such as theatrical make-up, radio script writing, airport management, voice Instruction, aircraft assem bly and construction, and modi fied engineering.

TOP CASH PRICES PAID Half Moon Fruit & Produce Co. 334 McANDREWS AVE. PrineeTon - . t ' . ' i, - i ALCAN SEEN FREIGHT ROUTE ' Anchorage, A 1 a s k a (U.R) Mud as stiff as putty clung to the wheels of his 37-passenger ve hicle as Kenneth O Harra of An chorage edged across a half washed out bridge on the first bus trip over the Alaska mill tary highway but despite the hazardous driving conditions he holds steadfastly to the belief that the road has great potential commercial value. O'Harra, only 34-year-old pio neer Alaska busline operator, and two mechanics, Donald Cross and Charles Porter, brought the big bus here from Columbus, O., a total of 4,743 miles, in ten and one-third days of driving time. O'Harra, who will use the ve hicle for the first scheduled bus line operation between Anchor age and Fairbanks, praised the section of the highway between Dawson Creek, B. C, and An chorage but said the southern section of the road from Edmon ton. Alberta, to Dawson Creek is inadequate for heavy trans portation. Spring floods knocked out several bridges, forcing O' Harra to make long detours, and turned the road into a quagmire in many sections. One day, he said, they were able to travel only 16 miles be cause the bus slipped over the mud and into ditches alongside the road. Another time, the bus was dragged by seven caterpillar tractors over a 120-mile washed out section. O'Harra said accommodations were good along the road with gasoline and oil available at sta tions every hundred miles. Meals and lodging were available at army engineer roadhouses. "I feel that a lot of motor freight could be moved over the road after the war if it is proper ly maintained," O'Harra stated. "Also the road offers an ideal vacation route because It passes through some of the most scenic sections ot the continent. And that's saying a lot, because the coast of Alaska also has many scenic spots.
