DEER SEASON AGAIN

The recent opening of another deer hunting season in Southeast Alaska reminds us that are fortunate to live in a widlife and game paradise. Near what other city the size of Juneau can the hunter set out in the evening on foot and be back next day with a fine buck deer?
 Yet in the very convenience of our hunting and in the increase in the ranks of our hunters lies a threat to the game of this The population of Juneau has increased tremendously in the past ten years. Almost every man in Alaska is hunter at this season of year Unless the game is treated decenty by this new army of hunters it will not continue to hold up Certainly it will not hold up if does slaughtered "by mistake" or other wise.
 Executive Officer Frank Dufresne of the Alaska Game Commission says he hopes it will not be nec- essary to have to cut down the bag limit or on the length of season in order to protect a future supply of game Every hunter will hope so too and will be good sportsman in the woods not shooting at animals he cannot reach not violating the regulations which have been established for the purpose of conserving this valuable resource and not wasting any meat he kills.

If German citizen sneaked into this country le would be deported for violation of the immigra- ion laws If he was smuggled into the country, he would be deported and the smugglers fined. But he is captured by the British, sent to Canada for nternment, then escapes into the United States ogosh he is set free
 That told is international law. And the happened. Kurt Reich captured submarine nachinists mate. leaped from a British prison hip and swan to the U. s. shore of the St. Law ence. Seized by border patrol, he was held mtil Boston lawyer won his release, on the ground hat international law required the U. S., neu- ral country, to give him his freedom.
 No doubt if Reich American citizen vho had visited Canada and maybe lost his birth certificate something-he would be held until n act of Congress got him back home.
 Frankly, the world is getting too much for us. We're spinning too.

Five Horsemen Over Europe
(NeW York Times)


 Ambassador Cudahys account of life in con- quered Belgium is tragic any story that has come out of this war If food supplies do not reach Belgium by mid-September, he predicts, the Belgian people will be close to famine The Belgians says MT Cudahy know that a British victory is their only hope of salvation" but they know, too. that the British blockade dooms them to misery in the winter just ahead In a normal year Belgium must import quarters of her wheat today the stocks on hand be made to last few weeks with severe rationng, but there is guarantee that the Ger man army of occupation will not requisition some of these precious to feed the undemourshed in Germany. Invasion itself has few terrors more awful than these
 If Belgium to be the only pool of human suffering in Europe its position would be piiful enough But Belgium will not be the only victim. Norway must try to live on fish in the dark winter months Denmark and Holland already see their livestock slaughtered for lack of fodder in Northern France the golden wheat stands high in the fields, with no to harvest it, no one to keep 1t from going to seed The able-bodied men of Europe are busy harvesting other crops this year The Four Horsemen of conquest, war, famine and death ride high throngh the European skies; and Fifth Horse man. peStilence may yet ride alongside them, across a Continent whose people will be cold as well as hungry, as vulnerable to disease germs as they were to the dive -bombers and tanks of the German Army

Alaskan Defenses
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

From two sources-the Chairman of the House Subcommittee Army Appropriations and the Chief of Staff of the Army-come hearty commentators of the progress being made upon Alaskan defenses.
 There are various menaces to the peace and security of the Western Hemisphere.
 A great deal of attention is being accorded just now to air line being projected by Germany from Dakar at the extreme western shoulder of Africa, to the Brazilian Coast. The distance is about that between Seattle and San Diego, and air line travel CTS know how easily that is negotiated. The trans port planes now being fitted for service apparently explain the willingness of German commercial firms to promise September and October deliveries in South America of numerous industrial manufactures at prices well below those at which United States pro- ducers can lay them down in the Southern con- tinent.
 The air route between Africa and Brazil, con- paratvey short though it is for the modern air plane is nevertheless several times longer than the routes between fortified Japanese and Russian posi- tions in Asia and highly strategic points in the Aleu- tian Islands and the Alaskan mainland There is course the additional fact that Alaska is United States soil, and in the possession of an enemy country would constitute direct threat to the entire North American continent
 That Alaska is being protected should be source of immense satisfaction to everyone in the United States and most of all to the residents of the Pa cific Coast.

Newsmen combiDg Elwood, Ind, for local color on it's celebrated na- tive son have found Frank Wilkie, uncle of the COP standard bearer, to be the best source of informa- tion about him
 Uncle Frank is a husky retired steel worker who looks great deal like his nephew. He is Catholic, former member of the Elwood City Council and few years ago was an unsuccessful Democratic candi- date for Mayor He explains the one 'l' spelling of his name by say ing that it is spelled both ways in the family.

 Although Wendell was born and reared in Elwood and the little town is in a high fever of excitement over his fame and the acceptance cere- mony, few months ago it was quite different.
 Jim Carr, member of the Repub- llcan State Committee, laughingly tells the story that several weeks before the Philadelphia convention he got his lunch that Willkie might be nominated and went to the FL wood Chamber of Commerce with the suggestion that the town start boosting Willkie for President.

THURSDAY, AUGUST g

THURSDAY, AUGUST g
 This is not an important day in planetary direction. Good and bad influences may contend in the day. light hours when labor should gain long-desired powers.
 Heart and Home: Women are under a configuration disturbing and depressing to them. Their am bitions may be curbed by unex- pected events that change the cur rent of life. Strange duties will be placed upon many who must serve the state and the nation This is a time in which to see conditions, economic and social, in their true relations. There must be separation of essentials and non essentials in planning for com ing months.
 Business Affairs This is a day favorable to executives who have demonstrated their ability and fore- sight. American methods that have been successful in trade will be applied to government with sue cess. Repercussions from the war will be keenly felt in Wall Street where market fluctuations will be disturbing to the financial world; old systems of managing money will be changed or improved.
 National Issues: Unjust treat ment of persons of foreign birth should be avoided. Prejudices should be eliminated While novel phases of subversive activities will be. dis covered, spy hysteria should be overcome. Voters who have the highest ideals of democracy will be swayed by candidates ambitious for changes, but experience will be the principal requisit for the victor. Preparedness is to prove tardy in achievement as democracy is more and more imperilled.
 International Affairs: Kings and queens whose thrones have been taken from them will exercise a power to be recognized within a few years, the SeerS prophecy. Stable government and strong al- dances will evolve for the Ameri- ca-s from the waste and horror of war. The United States will bene- fit from the talents and experience of refugees who find a haven here. Quotas will be altered so that arts and handicrafts may be trans planted Refugee scientists and edu cators will contribute much to the l new world.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good prospects and increased success. Pro- motion efforts should be profitable
 Children born on this day will be clever, prudent and serious They probably will have charm oi personality as well as strong minds and healthy bodies. f..

What do you bid?
Answer-Your correct opening bid
is one spade. Many players like to
open this hand with three. but such a
bid is inadvisable, because if the
opponents really have big heart or
diamond suit, your three-bid won't
shut them out anyway At the same
time II your partner has good hand,
your opening three-bid may keep
you from a possible slam.
