e. Should a hostess ever apolo- gize for a worn rug, a Sunken chair cushion, a clock that is not run ming, or a dish on the table that has not turned out quite as well as expected?
 A. No A hostess should not apol- gize for anything in the home or on the table. It merely emphasizes the article, and guest worth hav- ing pays no attention to these little things.
 o. When invited to be a house guest at a friends home during Christmas should a guest take gifts to each member of the family?
 A. A large box of candy or fruit for the family and gifts for the small children would be sufficient.
 Q. Should one express a choice of food when the host or hostess requests it?
 A. Yes. When requested, it is much better to state any preference rather than say, anything at all"

CHARLES pERS0NEUS
 IS IN PENNSYLVANIA;
 HAS BEEN TRAVELLING

The Rev. Charles c. Personeus, who was pastor of the Bethel Mis- sicn in Juneau for 20 years and left here with his family several months ago, is now located at 120 Nevin Street Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
 Writing to The Empire, MT Per soneus says since leaving Juneau he and his family have been .trav- elong, through IT states, spending some time in three, namely Mis- souri. New York and Pennsylvania. They visited the fairs at San Fran cisco and New York. The New York fair was on large scale but the San Francisco fair was the most beautiful, especially the lighting sys- tenn. This was more like the North ern Lights.
 MT. Personeus writes that he has found the people in the east know very little about Alaska and are quite surprised when he tells them about the climate and the up-to- dateness of Juneau.

ial problem. Discharge of infected enrollees was found to be an "un- satisfactory procedure because it en- dangered others. More recently a new plan was adopted. Victims of the disease are, sent at once to a hospital for isolation and treatment. Gonorrhea victims are cured and discharged.
 But to discharge syphilis suf- ferer, either at the end of his en- rollment or before final treatment was completed, would make him a public menace. Now these are dis charged only when public agencies will continue the treatment until all danger of scpreading the infection is past. Where this is not possible the patient is kept in the CCC until cured. even if a re-enrollment is necessary.

Alaska Taking On New Pilot
(Farbanks News-Mner

Alaska sets up a new marker in the march of time as pr. Ernest Henry Gruening arrives at the Territorial capital this week and takes the helm chief executive of Americas largest and Farthest North possession
 Governor Troy who first assumed the responsi- biIities of the office April l9 1883 retires with a splendid record of achievement and the gratitude and good will of his fellow Alaskans. It is grafy- ing news to them that he will continue to be an Alaskan, making his home in Juneau. Doubtless he will continue factor in the public life of the Territory lending occasion requires his sage advice and counsel based on a long and active career in the Northland
 Although Governor Gruening has not been resident of Alaska, he comes to the Territory with a seasoned record of many years service as jour nalist and administrator in numerous responsible public positions, notably the last several years as Director of Territorial Insular Affairs in the Department of the Interior.
 In this capacity, Dr. Gruening several times visited Alaska, and in the discharge of the duties of his office gained knowledge of Alaskan affairs which will stand him well in hand in his new task.
 Coming at time when Alaska stands at the threshold of a new era with many major new projects and promise of expansive program on an unprecedented scale, Dr. Gruening takes over the helm at a most important period.
 Doubtless heavy task lies before the new gov ernor to steer the territorial ship of state alright and keep her on the course of progress avoiding the shoals and reefs that lie ahead Tn this task is safe to the new executive that he will have the strong and sincere cooperation of all Alas kans in all matters deemed to the best interest of the Territory and her people.
 Dr Gruening on various occasions has expressed his great faith and admiration in Alaska and her future He has been extensive traveller, and by this token Aaskans in various parts of the Territory may expect to see much of him. Let this be the hope together with resolution that between the new executive and the people there will arise an understanding and spirit of cooperation and adop-
 on of such policies as will work to the inevitable progress of Alaska and eventually will crown with success the administration of pr. Gruening, now opening simultaneously with new era of great promise for the great Territory of Alaska

ALASKA AND THE FOREST SERVICE

Though five Department of Interior employees were among those present not dissenting vote was cast at yesterdays Juneau Chamber of Com n1erce meeting when the organization went on record as being firmly opposed to the transfer of Forest Service activities to any other agency.
 That demand for such transfer will be made at the next session of Congress has been indicated bv the President himself in these words
 T have also considered the problem of certain public lands insofar as they present overlapping jurisdiction between the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture Insofar as crops, including tree crops are involved there is something to be said for their retention in the Department of Agriculture But where lands are to be kept for the primary purpose of recreation and permanent public use and conservation they fall more logically into the Department of the Interior I hope to offer reorganization plan this early in the next session
 Preliminary to a possible reorganization along the lines suggested by the President hearing is to be held in Portland next week by the Congress sional Joint Committee Forestry, of which Sena- tor John Bankhead of Alabama is chairman It was a telegram to this committee which was en- dorsed by the Chamber membership yesterday. The message informs the Committee that Alaskans Will feel the Territorys future welfare leopardlzed II public land supervision now vested in the Forest Service is turned over to the Department of the Interior The communication praises the Forest Service for it's intelligent and far-seeing manage ment of the public domain of Southeast Alaska A similar telegram has been sent to the Committee by the Juneau Ski Club which states Aaskans would be violently opposed" to such transfer as appears to be in the wind.
 Without a doubt the action taken by the two Juneau organizations represents the attitude of 99 percent of the people of Alaska It cannot be just a coincidence that the Government bureaus most criticized throughout the Territory are Department of Interior agencies and those most highly praised come under the jurisdiction of the Department oi Agriculture We have seen both in action in Alaska and we are not mistaken
 At the last session Interior handed the Bu- reau of Fisheries, probably the most important single Government agency from the Alaska stand point and the Biological Survey, which up here means the Alaska Game Commission. It is true that no change in the policies of those agencies has been noticeable, but when we reflect on Inter iors Slattery report and its Alaska Railroad WI fear the worst
 That five Department of Interior officials, wh knew perfectly well what the vote at yesterday meeting was all about, didn't dare raise ther Voce

SATURDAY, DECEMBER g


 This is one of the rarely fortu- nate days in planetary direction and every hour should be employed to the best advantage. It is lucky for journeys, including those over : seas. Written communications should bring satisfactory return. Leases or contracts signed today will be fortunate Women should benefit greatly under this configu- ration. To those who enjoy power or prestige much may be added.
 Heart and Home: Under this sway parents will be generous and sym pathetic in dealing with the young CT members of the family. It is an suspicious date for entertaining. Shopping is well directed and purs- es will open easily Girls will be wise to treat old suitors more kindly than the new admirers who will be many. Young men will be extremely susceptible under today's planetary influences.
 Business Affairs: Prosperity will have come around the corner and there will be marked acceleratiop in trade. War conditions will bene- fit American merchants and manu- lecturers, but the seers warn that 1941 is under sinister portents. The wise will anticipate a period of fl- nancial reverses, for world money systems are to be drastically chang ed
 National Issues: A steadily grow ing approval for a third term for the President of the United States may become apparent. The tenden- cy to forget past discontent will cause unity in political parties and will heal many Democratic wounds However, the stars presage surprise moves and dark horses in the coming national conventions.
 International Affairs Although the Soviet government will conceal its policies as far as possible, the world may well fear Stalin who will become more powerful thu Hitler. Disagreements between the Europ- can dictators will be fortunate for the democracies. Japan will com- mand special attention from the United States because of a new treaty of potential menace. Poland is to show promising signs of ris- ing from it's runis.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of busy, happy year The young will marry. Women should watch their health. 2f
 Children born on this day prob ably will be vigorous mentally and physically. Both boys and girls should succeed in scientific voca- tions. Many boys are fitted for na- val service.

Trade Note
(Philadelphia Record)

(PhlIadeIphla ReCOrdJ
 United States export trade for September showed substantial increase, compared with the figures for the same month a year ago. according to reports issued by the Department of Commerce.
 Analysis of the departments reports shows that the largest proportionate increases were ac- counted for by exports to peaceful areas. Central America topped the list with 57 percent increase. Cuba was next, with 49 percent Then came Canada, with A. the West Indies and Bermuda, 34; Turkey, 32 Australia, 26 Africa 13; Asia l2; South America, Il, and Oceania, 10. Europe received only seven percent more than in September, 1888
 These figures not conclusive. An increase of one percent in exports to Europe equals much greater percentage increase to any one of many other smaller areas, of course. The figures do show trend, however which if encouraged by Govern l. and private enterprise ought go far to offset any loss of business which may result from strict observance of the law forbiddng American ships from trading in danger zones.

 vaccine worked especially well with southern whites.
 MORE VIRULElsT
 Success with a new typhoid vac cine was also apparent All typhoid vaccine used by the British and un- til recently by the U. S. Army and Navy came from one source, serum taken from British soldier in the Boer War more than 40 years ago. His was the starting culture" The U. s. Army got a start" of the Boer War breed from the British in 1911.
 But lately the army has believed the British stock not sufficiently virulent. The army wanted a tougher variety which would produce a sounder immunity. A Yankee soldier on duty in Panama was found to be a carrier of a type of adequate virulence. Since l937 it has been used in the CCC camps and even longer in the army.
 Its use has been accompanied by a steady decrease of the disease in eco camps Much of this reduc- ton the army attributes to increas ingly sanitary conditions. Anyway CCC typhoid cases were reduced tc nine last year, with no deaths among the 23o.0oo enrollees.

FROM ONE WHO KNOWS

The Japan Times Weekly, printed in English and published in Tokyo has this to say of the war in Europe:
 If have not yet seen in the current war any blood-stirring battle scenes we have no right to kick. The Powers are not in war to accommo- date newsreel producers, sensation hungry news papers and the public. War is no joke; it's grim business"
 Grim is correct That goes for incidents" too
