OPM Okays Roof Garden

The Roof Garden Committee is pleased to announce that it has just received a priority rating of Al from the o. P. M. This means of course that the Roof Garden has priority over all other social functions for the bal ance of the year 1941. This is good news and the committee is taking advantage of it, to the end that no expense is being spared to make the affair a sue cess.
 Tolbert Scott says the demand for tickets is so great that he is kept buy supplying those selling them.
 The girls at the switchboard in the Te ephone Office wish the Roof Garden was over, they are having so many inquiries about it, even over long distance phones.
 Really, the whole town is talk ing about it and that is not all, the airplane companies have ar ranged special trips to accomo- date those from outlying local itieS.
 Art Martin knows something of interest relative to certain talent expected to arrive for the occasion. But when interviewed, Art with his usual reticence, was nOn-committal, saying q just work for PA"
 An all-night taxi service will be maintained. The streets will be made, and kept passable, and all trails will lead to the High School Gymnasium, where the big event will take place. The Weather Bureau guarantees that the weather will be OK Satur- day So come as you are. Meet your friends Join in the fun. NO CARES. NO WORRIES. NO LAPS.

WICKERSHAM LIBRARY BUY IS COMPLETED

Mrs James Wickersham widow of the late Judge Wickersham, former Alaska delegate to Con- gress, will receive $17, ,500 for her husbands library of Alaskan documents and literature, Gov. Gruening announced.
 A sum not to exceed $20,000 was set aside by the Territorial Legislature last spring to pur- chase the books for the Territor- ial Museum and Library. The grant to Mrs. Wickersham will leave $2J500 to defray the cost of cataloguing the volumes and putting them in shape for use in the Library, it was explained.
 The purchase of the books was completed at a meeting of the musum board in tn GoVrnor's S office recently. The books have already been turned over to the Library, it was explained, but no adequate accommodations for their display have been arranged.

Nc More IVA Out of School Work Alter December 31st

After December 31 there will be no more "Out-of-school Ma .ional Youth Administration in Alaska according to a telegram received November 27 by Cover
 TOT Ernest Gruening from Au- prey Williams, administrator of he IVA in Washington, D. C.
 Williams said no funds were available for the expansion of the program as originally plan ned due to limitation of non- de- fense expenditures by the Blu reau of the Budget. The IVA pro gram in Alaskan schools will be continued.
 The Out-of-School program, which began in Alaska last year was for the purpose of provid-
 ng work experience on useful projects for needy youth who have left school and have been to obtain employment. The out-of-school program in Alaska provides employment for youth on production, con- struction, professional and cler- ical projects. There are seven- teen such projects now operat- ing in Alaska and approximately 65 young people being trained in office procedure, production, la and hospital assistance, nursery, school assistance, lib- rary assistance sewing, arts and crafts, and recreational assist lnca.

NEWS FOR fo@2: In the coming issue,
we will celebrate the New Year by max
ing several important editorial changes
and Improvements. THIS WEEK Maga-
zine has been in existence for almost
seven years. In that period we have
made continuous studies of our readers
wishes We have asked thousands of
them what kind of editorial material
they would prefer to have in their
magazine, and we have made changes
from time to time to meet their ideas.
NOW. the big news for 1912 is that
THIS WEEK will come to you in new
size, standard with other weekly maga-
zines. 1t will be easier to hold, easier
to read, easier to stack with other
magazines on your library table. Among
the innovations are new type, more
illustrated features, greater Condensa-
ton in articles and stories for faster,
easier reading We feel certain that
they will make THIS WEEK even
more interesting and attractive to all
of you during the year to come.
A COLLEGE professor we know has
been travelling in Mexico. He teaches
English. so he was particularly inter-
ested when he saw an advertisement
extolling the conveniences to be found
at the Tamazunchale Inn. One line,
prominently displayed, read:

STAR-CHASlNG is nothing new in
Hollywood. But cloud-chasing is. It's
all a peculiar story, and to Variety"
theatrical journal, goes credit for un-
earthing it and giving it to the world:
Once upon a time, two comedians,
known as Abbott & Costello, began to
make a movie called Keep EN- Fly
ing" Game time for some particularly
stirring pictures of clouds and the
great big motion-picture industry woke
up to the sad fact that there were only
80 good cloud shots in all of Hollywood.
And those had been used so often by
everyone that they were threadbare.

HERE was double row of customers
in front of the fountain, and as
d waited watched the two soda jerkers
behind the counter.
The young fellow at my end skittered
frantically to and fro amid his gadgets. His
face was tense with nervous strain; he was
laboring nightly - and he was getting
further behind in his orders every feverish
minute.
The operative at the other end was
serene and smiling. He was serving twice
as many patrons, and doing it almost
efortlessly, while he quipped and jested
with his customers.
moved down toward his section of the
bar. fascinated by the smooth rhythm with
which he worked. Each hand performed
useful job whenever it moved. Neither
time nor motion was wasted. was so
absorbed in this exhibition of efficiency
that when he looked at me with ''Whatl
it be?" I'd forgotten what wanted.
"A chocolate matted" told him. And,
say! Did anybody ever tell you you're an
artist"
He gave me funny look. 'Whaddaya-
mean, artist"
81 mean an artist at your job"
Nope" he said after he'd put my
matted in the mixer. Il never even
thought of it that way. just figure that
it's easier if you use your head as we'll as
your hands"
LAURA and Agnes are two filing clerks in
an engineering Office. Laura rushes, darts
and dashes from cabinet to cabinet, al
ways terribly busy and always little
behind with her blueprints Agnes seems to
float lazily about her filing duties, but she
handles lot more blueprints, and she's
always got time to find out what the blue
prints mean. She files with her head as
we'll as her hands. Agnes is an artist.
Last summer l hired Fred to dig an

eight foot ditch. 1t took him two whole
days - and he worked so hard got tired
just watching him. At as cents an hour,
that ditch cost me 81 and it was a
sloppy job.
Two weeks ago hired Hal, at rs cents
an hour, to dig another ditch twice as long
as the one Fred had dug. 1t took Hal three
hours and he didn't seem to be working
hard. Halls ditch cost me $2.25 and it was
a beautiful job, with sides and edges
straight and smooth. Hal is never out of
work. Hal is an artist.
i HERE is no such thing as ''unskilled
labor" There are only unskilled laborers.
Any job - soda jerking. clerking filing,
even ditchdigging - is an art if you look
at it that way. The artists muscles are
seldom superior. He has simply learned
superior way of using them.
Of course the easy way of doing job is
learned the hard way. Efficiency isn't
wished on the artist; he sweats and tolls
for it. But having mastered it, he gets
double reward. He does his work better,
. and he does it easier. And, more important,
he has a real pride in his job. There's no
such thing as an unimportant job when
that job is held down by an artist.
There's an extra dividend. too, when
better jobs are in the offing. When the
drugstore chain opens new branch, which
of those two soda jerkers will be made
fountain manager - the rushing, perspir-
ing slowpoke or the unhurried guy who
gets twice as much done? When the head
filing clerk quits to get married, will never
quite -caught-up Laura or time-to-spare
Agnes get the nod? When big contractor
wants foreman, will he consider Fred the
Dub when Hal the Artist can be had?
The answers are easy. The odds are on
the artists every time. They know their
jobs - and they're proud of their ability
to do them. They're going places.

THE DUCHESS of Windsor will be one
of the contributors to our next issue.
On January a we shall print the first
of three articles which she has written
for THIS WEEK Magazine. 1t will be
the first time that the wife of the
former King of England has ever writ
ten for publication. Her articles will be
on subject in which she has long been
interested - foods and recipes
Wherever she has lived - in Balti-
more, Paris, Peiping, London and Mas
sau - the Duchess has been a famous
and charming hostess. with reputa-
ton for knowing good food and how to
have it properly prepared. In her girl
hood - in Maryland - she began to
collect from friends recipes for dishes
for which the South has long been
famous, and to this collection she has
added, during her travels, oookbooks
from all over the world. Southern dish
Is, however, are still her favorites, and
many are now served on her table, since
the Duke has also learned to like them.
DURING her stay in Nassau, the
Duchess has taken a warm personal
interest in the welfare of the poor of the
island; especially the children. She has
built two modern clinics where mothers
may receive free examination and in
struction in prenatal and child care.
Her reason for at last consenting to
write for publication - something she
has always refused to DDS her
interest in British relief. All payment
for the articles which will appear in
THIS WEEK, as we'll as all royalties
from the book which will grow out of
the articles and will be published early
in the spring, she is donating to the
British War Relief Society, Inc.
YOU WILL want to read what the
Duchess of Windsor has to say about
changes in the preparation and serving
Of foods since the beginning of our
Republic. She has been an interested
reader of old cookbooks, and has been
impressed by the fact that menus of to-
day are much more varied, less elab-
crate, and healthier.
You will also probably recognize some
of your own favorite recipes among
those which she lists as the special
favorites of the Duke, and you will
learn her secrets of giving these dishes
that special flavor which characterizes
cooking in Dixie.

British Decoy Planes
Of Rubber Fool NaZis

AKRON, OHIO.-An Akron manu-
facturer disclosed that Great Brit
ain is using decoy planes of rubber,
inflated like balloons, to lure enemy
raiders into wasting bombs.
Cliff Slusser, vice president in
charge of production, said the Good
year Tire & Rubber company has
built life-size planes, with exteriors
duplicating those of fighting ships,
out of rubber. From overhead, and
even close on the ground. the de-
ception is so complete it battles ex-
perienced airmen.
The rubber planes already built
by Goodyear include English Spit
fireS-noW in use somewhere In
Britain and other types which
have been sent overseas Mr..

Here's Real 'Rottleneck'
Acute Shortage of Corks

WASHINGTON The commerce
department called attention to a
real bottleneck of potential concern
to millions of parched patriots.
The dry facts are, the department
said in a report on the alcoholic
beverage situation, that "rationing
of limited supplies of cork has in
troduced a new factor in beverage
distribution, particularly since no
suitable substitute for cork for bot
tie caps and shoppers is at present
in production"
The department added, however,
that the possible use of compost

ported material, but relatively more
abundant than cork) or of develop
