TUESDAY. JANUARY 1s.

This should be a fairly fortunate day, especially for employers. The stars encourage mental keenness helping men to understand one an- others problems. Need of strong leaders in all nations is indicated The navy will focus attention.
 Heart and Home: discipline should be stressed. Among the young the inclination toward independ- ence will become troublesome. As nations submit to severe regula- tions, members of families should live according to strict rules of con- duct. Econoy should be practiced by all classes.
 Business Affairs: Although strikes will be settled advantageously for workers, commerce will be seriously affected by harbor employees and business will reflect the heavy loss es sustained by importers and eX- porters. First of the year statistics regarding employment problems will
 
 reveal many persons drawing gov ernment salaries Wide resentment may crystalline in some form of pro- test.
 National Issues: Uncertainty re- garding the attitude of the admin istration toward alien labor agita- tors, Investigating committees and tn third term will cause newspa- per criticism and awaken public cp- inion. Party royalties will be tested on many issues, especally those re- lated to preparedness. Sensational events in Europe will strengthen support of President Roosevelt.
 International Affairs: The con- junction of Jupiter and Saturn late this year will mark the peak of power for certain dictators. The stars seem to presage victory for the most ruthless leader. Stalin is the man most to be feared and the peril of his power will extend to places of concern to the United States. The winter will cause great suffering for soldiers.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the adgury of year of happiness and success. There will be much social activity
 Children born on this day will be artistic. thoughtful, prudent and able to realize their ambitions. Ihese natives of Capricorn are usually exceedingly popular.

fective They were the weapons of a successful bzreig there, because Polish air strength was neg ligible. It was the same in Albania, where Italy worked the first real blitzkrieg There was no op- position whatever. But Germany and the Allies are rather evenly matched in air power, and the result is a stalemate
 England has fast pursuit planes in great num- bers They have been able to take off, climb to advantageous height, and drive off German bomoers in nearly every case. Similarly, the fast-cimbing German Messerschmitts have made it extremely diff
 cult for British bombers reach and destroy their objectives
 Thus it appears-subject to revision of judg- ment at any time-that in the air as on land the advantage lies with the defense. Neither side can do great injury to the enemy without itself suffer- ing disproportionate losses If this is in fact the case the use of bombers in hundreds would be a very reckless venture.

Creating Alaska Tourist Appeal
(Cordova Times

Senator Lewis B. Schwellenbach of Washington, (we almost said "our" Senator so closely allied are the State and Territory of Alaska) has pre- dicted, have many other prominent persons, a great in the tourist traffic to Alaska next year because of the fact that Europe is too busy with it's to entertain visitors, even to pro- vide transportation facilities from the United States to that continent.
 Something could do to help the tourists get their moneys worth would be to acquire those of us who don't already have it, Working-or talk ing'-knowedge of Alaska, her history industry, people, characteristics and future we could in tegently answer questions of the visitors and new corners.
 We don't suggest that everyone grow bushy beard and chew snoose around with gun on one shoulder and pick the other, but the tourists expect to be little picturesque and il would help to build up that trade Alaskans to absorb little of the sourdough spirit and attitude and mpart it to the summer trippers

The Census
(Ketchikan Chronicle)


 Now the shouting is over, and for year or two at least there can't be much argument about whether Ketchikan or Juneau is the bigger Ketchikans s population-which should higher by the time all returns are n-is about where it has been con- servatively estimated for the past year or two.
 This represents growth of at least eight percent in the past ten years. The rate of increase is nothing like that which Juneau has had, probably nothing like Fairbanks will show But it is a good healthy growth
 Now, if the people here look to their laures Ketchkan is entering a decade which certainly should see the population doubled. There is nc good reason why there shouldn't be 10000 people here in 1850
 There are fisheries resources still undeveloped The tourist resources haven't been scratched. With the extensive stands of timber easily accessible all around Ketchikan there is reason why new woodworking industries shouldn't be established tc provide the livelihood for thousands.
 These resources are here. Perhaps someone will come looking for them But more likely Ketchikan will have to go looking for the people to make use of these opportunities If it does, then you may look for five figures in Ketchikan's 1850 census.
