THE JUNEAU PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE

One of the most valuable services offered the people of Juneau is that of the public health nurs- ing service. The Juneau Public Health Center, To- cated in the Territorial Building has become focal point for the dissemination of health information and nursing instruction.
 Established in June 1937 under the direction of the Territorial Department of Health a dem onstraton service, the Juneau Public Health Nursing Service supported entirely by Federal grants-in- aid until last July when the City appropriated $l200 toward it's support. This matched by Fed eral grants-in-aid in like amount Thus, every dollar spent by the City of Juneau for this purpose has provided two dollars worth of nursing services.
 Supporting the Public Health Nursing Program is Juneau Public Health Council comprised of volunteer representative and women from pro- feSsional, civic and haternal organizations This Health Council acts in an advisory capacity to the local health services and assists in interpreting the nursing activities to the public and the community needs to the nursing service The Health Council has also urged and obtained financial participation of the City Council in the support of the local nursing service
 The public health nursing services available without cost to any one upon request by family physician either for instruction in actual nursing care or the hygiene of living. Miss Oygard, who is Juneaus Public Health Nurse. can be reached in the morning from to 930 o'clock at the Juneau Health Center at which time she observes office routine
 Her recent annual report shows that the Juneau Public Health Nurse during 1889 extended maternity throughout the complete maternity cycle in cluding prenatal health supervision, assistance at confinement and postnatal of the mother to 23 requiring 150 home visits She offered infant and presehool health supervision to 134 children, comprising 5ls visits to homes by the to Health Center by the children; school health serv- ices, including inspection of school children first aid consultations with parents, teachers and doctors to 670 children home nursing to the sick requir ing 383 visits; planned for 90 dental examinations

WAR AND TRADE

The mistake of the assumption that the new world would automatically improve the trade the United States is being underscored by recent developments The latest of them is the notice served upon American officials by British trade au- thorities that the United Kingdom will henceforth curta it's purchases of American cotton
 Spurred by the fact that many of the ships used in the transport of American cotton come here empty, the British plan to make cotton purchases play part in the economies of warfare. By shift ing part of their cotton purchases to the South American countries they can increase their market there for industrial goods-in effect policy of bar ter which conserves foreign exchange Before the war Germany sold the South American republics a maor part of their industrial goods receiving in turn valuable materials
 The United Kingdoms purchases of American cotton have quintupled since the war began aiding considerably in dSpoSng of the domestic cotton surplus. But the development illustrates that this was only an ephemeral benefit The United States apparently cannot hope to hold the British market for cotton unless correspondingy in crease our purchases of the United Kingdoms com modities particularly industrial goods For economic reasons, the Empire already has curtailed it's pur chases of agricultural foodstuffs here and for economic political reasons has transferred the bulk of it's tobacco purchases to Turkey. The foreign market for armaments-notably panes-remains good But that is of scant consolation to agricul- turists

TUESDAY, APRIL 9.

Although this is read as an i'm portant day in planetary direction the aspects are good, except where labor is involved The morning hours may be difficult for certain employers, but the stars stimulate constructive work.
 Heart and Home: Women today should be calm and well directed. There is an aspect which emphasizes their desire for service and self-sac- rifice. The stars appear to portend discard of vanity among young girls and concentration on activities in which they subordinate love affairs to ambitious work.
 Business Affairs: Constructive en- terprises should flourish under this configuration whi ic h encourages construction of every sort. Harbors will engage government attention. New channels of commerce are prog nosticated for the United States Exports of food in novel forms as well as increased demand for canned goods are predicted
 National Issues: Suggested blanks for political platforms will provoke differences of opinion and seem to fcrewarn party splits. The stars indicate that dictators this year are not to be challenged in foreign lands alone as Democratic and Republi- can leaders contend for government control.
 International Affairs: India is subject to sign that predicts fla mine and serious health conditions during the coming summer, ,y al- though political aspirations are un- der kindly planetary sway. Japan will meet major economic problems which change ambitious ideas. An earthquake will damage a city. Bet ter Japanese understanding with the United States is presagd. ''
 Persons whose birthday it is have the augury of year in which ob- stacles may retard progress. The general outlook is good, especially for women. .,s
 Children born on this day prob ably will be industrious, studious and good-natured Many arians have artistic talent.

CHAMBER H0N0R5
 MEMORY OF REV.
 A.p. kA5HEvAR0FF
Resolution Expresses Sym pathy of Organization
 at Curdtor's 5 Death

A resolution by the Juneau Cham Der of Commerce on the death of the Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff, passed at last weeks meeting, is as follows:
 Death having called on April g., 194O. at Juneau, one of AlaSka's most distinguished citizens, one of Ju- neau's most beloved residents, Fa- ther Andrew Kashevaroff, who was born in Alaska, and, who. as he many times facitiously remarked, came to us with the purchase of the Territory from Russia,
 And the members of the Juneau Chamberlof Commerce, of which Fa- ther Andrew was for many of the most useful years of his life val ued member, and in which he was an active worker and whose meet ings he regularly attended, feeling most keenly their loss and the loss to the community and to the Ter ritory in the death of citizen whose name will stand forth prom inently on the pages of the history of the progress and development of Alaska, DO RESOLVE
 That in the death of Father Kashevaroff the Territory of Alaska has lost one of it's bestbeloved, most useful and most highly valued citi- zens; the City of Juneau one of it's foremost inhabitants, one of high character and noble nature; his fam fly loving father, guide and com panion; and all of us true friend.
 That we extend to the members of his family our deepest and most profound sympathy in their great loss; and further.
 That a copy of this Resolution be spread upon the record of this days meeting of the Chamber, and that copies thereof be sent to the son

SUBSIDY SHOWS PROFIT

Look at the ground that's already covered. The Pacific clippers mak- ing flights continually. pushing out to the Philippines, Australia and Heng Kong And the Civil Aero nautics Authority here tells me that, before long, the clippers will be dropping down on the coast of New Zealand
 , Just the other day, at LaGuardia Field in New York, the clippers cele- brated their 135th trans Atlantic without single accident. They've carried thousands of pas sengers and tons of mail-so much mail, in fact, that what started out as government subsidy has turned into beauty of little profit for MT. James A. Farley's department.
 All the United States trans oceanic airlines need now is more ships. The South American service and the short-hop lines are pretty well supplied but the transoceanic service is accomplishing amazing feats, I hear, with only six big clip pers. Two giant strato-clippers are on the way but they'll be a year or so in the building. That's just a hint of how long it will take for eign competitors to get started after the war.
 Of course, you know all that, MT. Trippe-and knowing all that, it isn't surprising, is it, that the com mercial aviation folks here in Wash ington are finding good reason for Britains kicking up such fuss about those weather broadcastsr

"AbOve the Weather"
(NeW York TimeS)


 With the delivery to Pan American Airways of the Flying Cloud, the first of it's Boeing airiners designed specifically for flight above the weather another interesting page has been turned in the his tory of American air transport. This four-engined airplane carry B passengers and of five six at four miles minute Its most interesting feature it's cylindrical super charged cabin which enables pressres normal to attitudes of 5000 to 5000 feet to be maintained at attitudes of 14000 to 10000 feet In this way advantage may be taken of the smoother air conditions the esSened air resistance and weather interference and the seader winds of the upper levels leading both to increased speed and comfort
 Aeronautical engineers have debated at length the economics of true sub-stratosphere flight There is unanmity of opinion on the question of wheth- the structural and plant factors necessary to provide passenger comfort and safety in the thin airs of, say, 30000 feet justified for such ice as that between Atlantic and Pacific Coasts. It is true that Commander Tomlinson who probably has spent more time above the level of 5000 feet than any other pilot during his hgh-alttude studies for Transcontinental and Western Air-Whch also will take delivery of of the liners has found that cloud formations with their at tendant conditions of turbulence and low visibility occasionally extend to 30O0O or 35 900 feet As a rule however, levels of 1800O to 10000 feet mean bright sunshine starlight, smooth air with steady winds. For flying in high mountainous terrain, and certainly for ranSocean flying, these the levels to which the new Flying Cloud opens the door.
