Whittier New Alaska Luminary

Fairbanks News -Miner)
 Draw big red circle around the word whit tier, on the map of Alaska, at the newly desgnat- ed spot for the future southern terminus of the Alaska Railroad.
 The Secretary of the Interior has decreed it. Whittier will be the name of the port If plans of Ickes ct al carry per schedule Whittier within year will be the big transfer point of traffic between ocean and rail lines serving h. terior Alaska. And that traffic promises to become heavier making Whittier permanently conspicuous in future Alaskan activities
 Suggested by proximity to Whittier Glacier, named after the beloved American poet, the town of Whittier, if it endures like the writings of its namesake, long will be bright uminary to the country.
 But that is not to say that Whittier will deprive Seward Aaska-named after another great Ameri- can-of its luster. It is gratifying to Alaskans to know that the town Resurrection Bay is carrying strong, more blessed with activities today than for many a year. Defense and other activities have brought new life to Seward and the promise it will not vanish from the map, but also become base of vast importance in the development of the mar velously resourceful Kena Peninsula and the vital strategic region of western Alaska
 
 Now that the powers that be at Washington have fit to give fitting title to the Alas kan town may they also find time to go another step and eliminate the multiple names designating various Alaskan towns and physical features. The Moose creeks, Caribou creeks, Sawmil bays, Willow creeks Eldorado creeks-one or more in every portion of the vast Territory-are a constant aggravation.
 Two places in Interior Alaska designated Boundary" are a glaring example of the abuse. Many complaints heard of mail for the places going awry, being sent to the wrong place. Why continue the endless aggravation and the ancient abuse.
 There's plenty of names eminent in American history-or beautiful Indian names-deserving of perpetuation on the map of Alaska Let's have them

MISSING WASHINGTON

After reading his address to the Congressional group, the President invited criticism. But except fol one or two clarifications no changes were made.
 One suggestion produced a merry interlude in the otherwise grim conference. It came from House Foreign Affairs Chairman So Bloom, famous for so diligently pro- noting the anniversary of George Washington.
 When the President read that part of the speech reviewing the measures against piracy taken by Presidents Adams and Jefferson Bloom remarked:
 Why don't you mention George Washington? He sent a strong message to Congress on the neces- sity of protecting our vessels ir time of war"
 There was loud laugh from Sol's colleagues.
 Most favorable comment on the speech came from Senator Tom Connally of Texas and Representa-. tive Clifton Woodrum of Virginia acting Speaker. Both warmly com plimented the Presidents speech and predicted that "all true Ameri- cans will applaud it."
 NOTE: The Washington message to which Bloom referred was sen to Congress December ', l796, anc dealt with the necessity of protect. ing our sovereignty on the sea

 Finally, the Senator spits out his chewing gum, and the happy com pany swings into a rendition of Beautiful Texas"
 This is musical prelude to set folks to feelin' right Then Pappy steps up to the microphone to greet the home holks as a Senator in Washington, tells them how he misses Texas, beautiful Texas, how he helped remove joint-returns from the new tax bill and thus prevent Texas mothers from be- coming chattel slaves"
 Then, as the half hour show is over, Pappy congratulates himself on being the composer of two songs on the program, but complains that this radio business is expensive

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1S

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18
 Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day which is a time for signing contracts, launching new projects and pushing constructive work of all sorts.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are most fortunate under this configuration which is. stimulating to their energies. Actresses, writ CTS and musicians should benefit greatly while this rule of the stars prevails. This is happy wedding day, also fortunate for those who become engaged. Women writers should profit; the stars foreshadow demand for their work in adver- Using and publicity. Love letters come under lucky sign presaging harmony and constancy. Women executives of all ages are well di- rected today. They will be called to high positions, especially in banking institutions.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Lessons from European warfare will be ap- piled profitably in the United States where Yankee cleverness will improve upon the types of tanks. guns, destroyers and airplanes which have been used by conflict ing powers. Thoroughness will ac- company efficiency in American factories where amazing speed in productiveness will be attairieda this month. Expansion for defense needs is seen by the seers as preparation for postwar requirements 4When this country will aid in rebuilding devastated foreign cities.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Opposing theories regarding what is best in education for the future will be heatedly discussed. In changed world practical training will, be advocated to the exclusion of aca- demic courses. The stars seem to forecast an effort to combine cul- ture with mechanics, for machines after dominating the second World War will be introduced into mary places hitherto dependent upon man power. New inventions to- gether with the improvement of old devices will demand a high degree of technical skill.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS This is a month in which even the most persistent isolationist must realize the peril of the United States in the second World War. Peace advocates now will solicit attention and while they will gain approval from certain anti-inte.- vention leaders they will make lit tie headway. The stars are read as forbidding any negotiated peace, because there must be no appease- ment in the relation of democracy and Nazism. 4s
 Persons whose birthdate 1t IS have the augury of year of real prosperity. The wise will conserve their resources for a future which may be difficult for wage-earners.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be able to reach fame, for they should have extraordinary talents. They have strong charac- ters under this sign and should be most fortunate all through their lives.

New York, Nov.--New York Uni- versity, like Pittsburgh, de-em- phasized everywhere but in its schedule.
 N. Y. U. suddenly went pure in 1881, when Chick Meehan was dis missed for doing precisely that for which he was engaged and paid.
 But where Meehan wnet out and got talent N. Y. U. after letting him go confined itself strictly to digging up the touchest possible op- position, .-.
 Athletic authorities conveniently forgot all about the necessary ma terial. pr. Nal Stevens and those who came in were left to shift for themselves against such as Texas A. and M. Syracuse, Holy Cross, Penn State, Missouri, Tulane and Ford ham.
 Result is that N Y. U, linemen are setting Q record for being run over by the greatest number of good teams.
