Yarn of the Week

 For yarn of the week nominate the one about Yoshhide Furushima, who waited 33 years for a telephone.
 It seems that when Furushima was 22 just out of college he became interested in the telephone concluded it was here to stay" (that 0D and deposited Is yen (about $4.20) with the Communi- cations Ministry along with an application for in- stallation of telephone.
 Furushima, patient man, waited He became a lawyer, prospered even though lacking a phone, he had to messenger boys AS the years passed, Furushima became prominent, finally was elected to the Diet ...e few days ago his patience reached its limit Rising in the Diet he told of his 33-year wait for telephone denounced the Communications Ministry, declared 100000 phone applications have not been acted on. Said Furushima:
 If this were a private company I would have sued on a swndle and embezzement charge If my Is yen had been placed in the bank in 1907 should now be a rich the accrued interest If have to wait any longer for this elusive telephone might as well mention it in my will, in the hope that future generations of Furushimas will benefit from it..
 We don't know what Job would have done in an age of telephones. But doubt he would have waited B years to make phone call

GET OUT AND VOTE 5

The primary election comes, not inappropriately, in the midst of cleanup week. Tomorrow voters in both parties have the opportunity of cleaning up their respective slates they will be spc and span for the general election in September. glance at the list of candidates shows a real purge is in order How of the men filed could have the brazen effrontery to aspire responsible office is difficult to understand.
 If this were popuous State the danger would be less But it takes fewer than thousand votes 800 some say-to nominate for the Legs- lature when there 30 filed p the First Division And when there are many irresponsible and in- capable persons willing to forward and ask to be nominated there must be many hundreds of the same species still at large and willing to vote for them.
 The contests for the major offices need not worry us too greatly Needing votes throughout the Territory the poorer candidates tend to be cancelled out automatically The outright menace to Alaska lies in the Legislative -for-all Choose your Sen ate and House nominees as you would directors of any other many-mllion- dollar enterprise in which you were a stockholder Don't vote for man you never heard of just because you like the sound of his name. That is the only way of the candi- dates could be nominated The people who know them know better than to vote for them.
 The Democratic voter will find 18 names of House aspirants his long ballot About half of these have the qualifications of Legislators. But you only vote for four.
 Study the list of candidates before you go into the voting booth. Select your cooly and crt- cally and either mark their names down on piece of paper or commit them to memory. If you wait until voting time to look the field and make a choice it is very likely you will be confused and will make mistakes you may regret.

TUESDAY, APRIL 30

TUESDAY, APRIL 30
 As the month closes ,benefic as- poets rule the day. It is a lucky date for signing contracts and fol launching new projects. Whatever is progressive and constructive is well directed under this configura- tion which predicts for the United States marvellous experiences in at taining world supremacy.
 Heart and Home: Women should be fortunate in all their aims while this planetary government prevails This is a fortunate date for girls to seek employment and most promising to heads of households. The evening presages for the young the beginning of romances, Dances or social contacts may have spec ial significance.
 Business Affars: This is day iii which to promote important transactions in all lines of trade and commerce. The stars indicate for the United States period of great expansion and increased inn portance in the world of business. The seerS warn that with growth of power there will be intensified ton in international dangers.
 National Issues: American di- plomacy is to be put to the test next month when peace oyertures will bring about unexpected results. The stars foretell treachery and transformation on the part of both Hitler and Stalin who will direct subversive activities.
 International Affairs: France, under the influence of the recent conjunction of Saturn and Mars, will be determined to end forever all peril of future conflicts with Germany. Peace negotiations in which the United States is inter- iested will be of value in assuring. better understanding and closer sympathy with the aims of the nation.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of ad- vancement in social and financial ambitions. Changes should be avoid-. ed. The young will be interested in romance.
 Children born on this day proba- bly will be unusually bright and talented. Many of these subjects of Taurus excel in art or music.

there are always three vital inter- ests concerned, the public, the em- ployee and the employer, and that none of them should profit unduly at the expense of the other two Our troubles of this nature, if any should be settled on the basis of a mutuality of interests and any necessary legislation should have this end in view.

Our Newest Stamp

From now on the face of second Washington appears on our stamps It is an honored face, for Booker Washington surely the leader of his race as the first Washington was of his nation
 Booker Washington really born without a last name. He was brought up in slavery. Yet 50 years later, with bitter memories, he could write, 'No man, black white, from North South, shall drag me down low as to make me hate him Love of his fellows genuine concern for their ad- vancement will carry real man a long way in America in spite of all prejudices and restrictions, The career of Booker Washington proves that. He earned place on stamps in labor and in pain In putting him there also honor the ever broadening American tradition that brought him up from slavery and left him the friend of Presidents and the idol of his people.

Statement of Candidacy
 by Allen Shattuck

Next Tuesday is primary election daytime day set aside for each and every voter who desires to do so to have his say as to whom he wants to run for the various Ter ritorial offices.
 This election is really more im- portant than the regular election in September. If you select good candidates in the primaries, we will have good officers, while if incompetent candidates are select ed you can't do anything about it in September. So bring your friends along and vote.
 Government shouldn't be left to run itself. You have the power to direct it in the way you think it should go. The primary election is your first opportunity to show what you want.
 We have the best type of govern ment to be found anywhere. We have run it successfully for 150 years. A part of the reason for that success is to be found in our political system of two major parties forever competing for the favor of the people, in the attempt of each to surpaSs the other in giving the best government pos sible Its continued success depends upon wise selection by the people of the persons who will represent them in our .law-making bodies.
 In Alaska We have no voice in shaping national policies but we carry on the two-party system and so We have a platform which rep resents our idea of what should be done to improve government in Alaska.
 There are o1l.y few items cov- cred in any party platform on which our legislature has the power to act, but during 6O-day session there are literally hundreds of decisions to be made by any legis- latpr who attempts to keep up with what is going on.
 So it would seem to be wise in making your selection next Tues day to choose those candidates whom you think have force enough to carry out the provisions of the party platform and whose judgment you would trust to do the best thing on the many questions that come up every day of 9 legislative session.
 In general my own creed would be to keep Alaska running along on an even keel with an eye to gradual steady development de- signed to enable Alaskans to get the maximum benefit from that development.
 A friendly attitude toward icapi- tai seeking investment is necessary in the development of those re- sources which are beyond our fin ancial ability to develop. Our exist ing industries, principally mining and fishing, should be protected against excessive taxation which would endanger their continued successful operation.
 Every reasonable effort possible should be made to work our own industries with our own people.
 In any proposed labor legislation I would take the position that
