themselves invisible Finnish soldiers defending their country against the Russian invaders wear white uniforms to make themselves invisible against the snow and ice. Among the many inventions which men have sought out in our own time a prominent place belongs to camouflage. Great cannon lift their muzzes to the sky adorned with vines and wreaths like a Maypoe on the village green.
 Oddly enough, the thing which the rulers of nations no longer bother to camouflage their crueltes and their evil purposes. These are avowed openly brazenly. They call it of nerves

THURSDAY, JANUARY 4

This is an unimportant day in planetary direction III omens seem to affect money interests. Banks may be ruthless in collecting loans
 Heart ahd Home: This is not an suspicious date for romance. Young folk will be inclined toward cau- tion in assuming future responsi- i bilities. Girls need not look for declarations of devotion under this sway. It is a good time for read justments, as households settle down to routine programs. The family budget will be discussed and purse strings will be frightened.
 Business Affairs: Trade should be good all through the month Unemployment will become an in- creasingly local problem solved in communities through close know ledge of persons and conditions in- stead of on a national scale that precludes understanding of person. al needs. Work will be demanded of the fit as the effects of ease and idleness are noted Revelations of waste of public money for relief will encourage wise reforms. Eff ciency will be demanded by en- ployers who will seek to conduct merchandising and manufacturing on a scientific basis. scs.
 National Issues: Neutrality prob lemS will be disturbing to the Unit ed States government as unforeseen angles of enforcement are present. ed from day to day American com- merce may be impeded by treach- erouS methods employed by sup posedly friendly powers Loans re- quested by European powers may cause an international incident.
 International Affairs: Naval con- flict will sharpen as efforts t. starve the British Isles are con- tinued. Loss of men will be kept at the lowest possible number as Hitler encounters a rising tide or opposition to his war policies The United States will concentrate on the navy which will be active in the Pacific Ocean.
 Persons whose birthdate 1t IS have the augury of year of perpiexl- ties and readjustments. Caution IS advised in dealings with business men.
 Children born on this day may be individual to the point of ec- centricity, but they are likely to possess unusual talents. They should be carefully guided

HE WAS A LEADER

"As the holiday time approaches, I take real pleasure in again wishing a very Merry Christmas and a truly prosperous and Happy New Year to all who are now with the Civilian Conservation Corps, or who have formerly served with it. only wish that it were possible for to talk with each of you in person at this season of the year, when all of us look resoutely toward the future and de- rive renewed inspiration from the life of Him whose birthday we commemorate on Christmas Day"
 This Christmas message addressed to the men of the CCC written by Robert Fechner Director of the Corps who died in Washington the last day of the old year His last words to the thousands of boys who worked under his able direction looked "resolutely toward the future" Robert Fechner did
 In the eventful early days of the New Deal Fechner performed the hercuean task of putting 100000 young men into the forests of the Nation in three months The first enrollees recruited from the Dead Ends and trackside junges of the big cities of the East They were tough customers and right from the beginning Director Fechner had perpexng problems of personnel to cope with. The boys were moved into the forests to build camps and a new organization which to become per manent part of the Nations social and economic life In many cases coItingents moved clear across the country. Every camp had to be estab- lished in the backwoods where transportation faci ties poor and supply became problem as soon as that of moving solved Meanwhile the forces which harred and opposed all efforts of the Administration at work ridiculing the young tree nursemads" of the eco.
 Robert Fechner stayed with the job however, and built the CCC into what Alaska's Governor Gruening truly describes the most universally praised program of the Government
 In Alaska the CCC has done a wonderful job. The evenly divided corps, half white and half tive has built roads, fought forest fires, planted fish constructed shelters and performed thousand other services the public domain of the Ter ritory.
 Robert Fechner a labor by experience and temperament. Having worked with his own hands he knew how to get an honest days work out of each of his boys The man who left an American Federation of Labor vice presidency to head the ambitious new program conceived by Presi- dent Roosevelt proved the ideal organizer and drec tor The CCC and the Nation will miss the earnest and able leadership of Robert Fechner.

Juneau's Growth
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
escape.

Uncle Sam jumped the gun, to speak, by starting his decennal census in Alaska before the dawn of 1940 Now Juneau, Territorial capital is able to announce gain from 4043 ten years ago to 5748 population increase of nearly 30 percent.
 It will be late 1910 before the Federal enumera- tors are able to check upon the remote inhab- tants of Alaska But it is reasonable to assume that many other sections have experienced similar advances.
 That growth is of importance to Seattle and other Puget Sound cities. Seattle in particular, ex perienced it's greatest growth during the Klondike period, fact well known by old timers but perhaps not fully appreciated by the newcomers or the younger generation. And while Alaskas fisheries of greater economic importance today than its mines and those of the Yukon, the bonds tied 40 years ago still hold fast.
 Seattle congratulates Juneau. And like Juneau this state expects continuance of progress through out the Territory a whole.

THE LAST DEADLINE

The period at the end of this coll
umn spells fins" to an alleged
newspaper career which began ten
years ago when the first drop of
printers ink got mixed in my
blood. In other words, after that
many years spent sticking my
nose into the affairs of the world
at large, yours truly has decided
to abandon the adventurous and
glamorus field of news reporting.
This does not mean that 1 have
formed dislike for the fourth es-
tate, or that there is no future to
newspaper work. My action is mo-
tivated by a desire to live a nor
NAL life and at the same time, al
low others to live their lives, whe-
Their normal or otherwise, without
interference on my part.
No longer will I jump at the
sound of police or fire sirens or
tune out Cab Galloway to get my
favorite program which is calling
all cars"
From now on, the fact that Ne
gro leaders are standing still is no
