JUNEAU AIRPORT

Good news indeed is that brought to Juneau yesterday by the Empires Associated Press dispatch reporting we are to have half-milion dollar air. port
 Airfield development here has Jagged behind the rest of the Territory principally because local planes fly on pontoons But Juneau fits into larger air picture and is to be the terminus of wheel plane flights from Seattle, Fairbanks and Anchorage. For this development large field is a necessity
 Details of the Civil Aeronautics Boards plans are not known as yet but it is evident that the sum appropriated will build first class field, able to land the largest commercial and military planes on the fine site on Mendenhan flats.
 The inconvenience in not having good airfield has been demonstrated to Juneauites this winter. Unable to land at Juneau the mail plane from Seattle has been setting down at Whitehorse, with Electras shutting the mail to the capital This system has proved unsatisfactory. It has resulted in important airmai being held up for days, often longer than it would have taken the mail to be brought from Seattle to Juneau by steamer.
 large field, well surfaced, well equipped with flying aids will allow planes to land at Juneau in almost any weather. Building of CAB airport at Juneau will be a long stride ahead for this com munity and for Alaska

The Need for Junior College
(Ketchikan Chronicle)

A recent tabulation shows that in the past four years Craig Ketchkan and Wrangen have gradu- ated l73 students from high school. Of these only six are now in attendance at the University of Alaska.-less than four percent. The percentage IS at the same low figure when all Southeast Alaska high schools considered.
 The conclusion is plain: students graduating from the high schools in this area cannot afford to flock to institutions of higher learning as Tar distant as Fairbanks Even the sending of students to Seattle or Pullman or other northwest colleges is severe drain family finances, and as re- suit many worthy student simply ends his educa- ton when he walks out of high school here.
 As if that were not bad enough students com ing out of high school have learned little or nothing to fit them for work. High school courses are largely pre-colege, largely academic Ketchikan needs an institution that will teach not only young sters but adults as well in the tradesone that will teach fisheries navigation, engineering geology, bookkeeping and the like.
 A junior college could do all those things These days the junior college is turning more and more from academic work to vocational training. It is recognized throughout the United States that the junior college is not simply two years more of high school, it is instead period in which the student who knows he cannot go on to university will find terminal courseS-that is, courses taught complete Tn junior college--to train him to make a living
 We long have needed junior college in Ketchi- kan. We have one if those really interested in the plan get busy. And everyone may well re- member that any junior college is better than none we do not need anything of ambitious size. A very few extra instructors little extra room, and will to learn the part of few students and we have junior college.

Greeks and Romans
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enqurer)
 No doubt most persons associate Greece with learning and Rome with the arts of government and war The trouble with such generalization Is that it overlooks the immense military achievements of the ancient Greeks of whom Leonidas is satisfac- tory example Another trouble with generaliza- tion is that it concerns matters of two milleniums ago The Italians of today not the Romans of antiquity Nor are the modern Greeks any more Spartans than their standard of living requires.
 It is early to judge the relative standings of the two modern peoples, in military prowess. So far, the Greeks have made much the better showing. But they have the initial advantages of rugged terrain friendly natives in the of conflict and those benefits that flow to the side the defensive.
 Italy eventually throw far more troops into the fray perhaps four or five times many trained soldiers Italy also has immeasuraby superior equip ment on land and in the air But Italys long-term advantages are not so great the statistics would suggest For the battle front is only 100 miles long, and hardly provides standing room for as many troops as Italy could send in Furthermore, the ter rain is difficult and the roads negligible far into Greek territory This courteracts in large measure Itay's advantages of mechanized equipment although not those of superior fire power.
 To the extent that judge now, the Greeks have the edge, respecting the purely human factor. Their enthusiasm at the front and behind the lines is obvious and spectacular. Their readiness to counterattack against heavy odds has been demon- strated Their solidarity people is very great, because they know they fighting a genuine war of defense against traditional enemy, to repel an unprovoked invasion.

hard working chairman of the Unit ed States Steel Corporation and now commissioner for raw materials, had ,rouble with his telephone. The phone system, newly installed, was low and none too efficient.
 Finally Stettinius picked up the receiver and called Walter s. Gif- ford in New York. Clifford, besides being head of the American Tele- phone and Telegraph Company, had served for years as director of U. s. Steel and Stettinius knew him well.
 Walter" said Stettinisu, "our telephone service is terrible down here. Can't you do something about it?"
 Within about thirty minutes tele- phone experts from the local Wash ington office walked in, and MT Stettinius has had no complaints to make since.

HEDGE AGAINST TIME

Automobile manufacturers dealers and con- sumers seem to be uniting in a hedge against the time when much of the motor worlds productive powers may be turned to the service of national defense Production is running at high rate and dealers are gradually accommodating inventories.
 They would be accumulatng them rapidly but for the fact that retail sales almost keeping up with production which indicates that the con- sumer is improving his own inventory against the day when cars might be scarce and prices up He reasons that if he buys today he may not have to buy again until the emergency has passed.
 That view probably is sound Though the wide spread notion that automobile factories could over night be made into arsenals is based on miscon- cepton it is still that some of their equipment and much of their manufacturing knowledge put them high on the list of possible producers of ar mament

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14

This is rather doubtful day in planetary direction. Adverse as- poets are active. It is a day for putting the affairs of business in order.
 Heart and Home: This is a lucky day for meeting new friends of opposite sex, but romances well begun may languish under this sway Young men may be inclined toward fickleness and inconsistency. This is not a favorable date for making decisions. Women may be much concerned about the family budget which is near collapse from holiday preparations. The evening should be propitious for obtaining loan from the head of the fam fly, but it is not wise to shop for costly things under this configura- tion. Judgment may be misleading.
 National Issues: With the chang ing world, the men and women who have been leaders under old re- gimes will reach the end of their careers The death of a statesman who was active in advocating out worn ideas is forecast. The winter will be a time when an unusual number of conspicuous figures will disappear from the national capi- tai Benefits for distinguished refu- gees are prophesied as part of the Christmas celebration.
 International Affairs In the British chart there are signs that give hope of victory, since the stars presage more substantial help from the United States and the Dominions. The problem ief educating the children in England will be of great concern. Shipping losses may be sustained through the work of fifth column agents or the treachery of seeming friend
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of pro- gress in business or a profession. The aid of older persons will hasten success.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be ingenious, resourceful and versatile They may be strong in their loves and hates.

LOYAL OPPOSITION"

Weeks have elapsed since Wendell Willkie's post-election broadcast, but Republican leaders still are m the dark as to just who and what he meant by a loyal opposition. z
 Privately, they made it clear that he had not consulted them and did not talk for them This is particu- larly true of the Congressional group, who do not concede the de- feated standard bearer the right to tell them whatsto do and how to do it. They consider themselves the party's elected spokesmen and they are taking orders from no one
 If Willkie meant that the Willkie Clubs would constitute the loyal opposition" this is subject about which the party chiefs see red
 Few of them have any love for the Willkie Clubs. They view the movement coldly as a group of starry-eyed amateurs, who were a constant source of undercover irri- tation during the campaign and are sure to mean trouble to the regu- lars in the future.
 This feeling has not been luiled by the word reaching party chiefs that certain Willkie Club zealots are urging the clubs to turn their attention to cleaning up organi- zation bad spots.
 If. as the regulars fear, the Clubs "loyal opposition aim is to become a pressure group for the purpose Of taking control of the party organi-

ANTI-wILLKIE REGULARS

One key factor in the situatio' hat apparently both Willkie ant he Club leaders have overlooke that he was not an organization ho!ce at the Philadelphia conven ion.
