FOR HUMANITY AND FOR
OUR DEFENSE

Last week we announced that the Juneau Ro
tary Club had been designated by national head
quarters in New York and by vote of the local
members a branch of that great organization
Bundles for Britain.
This week the local committee mailed to a group
of SO men In Juneau. letter outlining the pur-
poses of the organization. Already, and in fact
before letters were sent several cash payments
received along with regular monthly pledges. The
committee plans to mail hundreds more letters
offering to the people of Juneau an opportunity to
take immediate part in our country's defense
by helping to hold the front line of battle where
the war is being waged with such devastating
effect.
One of the greatest needs at present in the
British Isles Is for hospital equipment medical sup
plies X-ray machines and facilities for caring for
those who have been wounded and manned in such
large numbers in the densely inhabited areas Of
England Scotland and Wales.
Specifically, and of the tasks assumed,
Bundles for Britain has adopted the courageous
Royal Northern Hospital and its subsidiaries, and
has undertaken the task Of supporting these insti-
buttons They depend on donations alone.
Those who have followed the course of this coun-
try and its government know that at last we have
become alive to the fact that interests now
closely allied with those of Britain that her fail
ure will bring untold disaster to the United States
We and our government now committed to a
policy which is based ON recognition of that fact
Our course is set There is turning back. Defeat
for Britain can mean only one thing for America
and that is war; modern war waged by Germany
and Italy.

basic fault was that the Quarter

Heart and Home: Women are
under a CONFORMATION that may
affect the nerves and cause them
to be representative, especially
when criticized by someone close
to them Quarrels are easily start
ed while this sway continues. The
inclination toward selfish aims may
be strong, especially among girls
who should be trained now in "a

carefully protected against chance
acquaintance. Fifth column meth

the daughters of government off

gaining just the right tips.
Business Affairs: The pace of
business will be accelerated next

added to the many engaged in
producing airplanes and tanks.

National Issues: Financial prob

The class of citizens represented
by these successful Americans is
to become of historic importance as
it dwindles in size in the course of
world changes, the seers declare.
The most pessimistic of astrologers
foretell its extinction.
International Affairs: Fire comes
under evil portents this year. The
leath of one or more political
leaders will weaken the government
at a critical time when neutrality
becomes untenable. Economic de-
preston will add to other troubles
next summer. Accidental" bomb

comfortable for the people. The
square of Mars with the conjunc-
ton of Jupiter and Uranus is
threatening Lack of food will
arouse grave anxiety.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of un-
usual activity which brings good
fortune. Business will yield large
profits and those who are en-
ployees will benefit.
Children born on this day will
be courageous ambitious, kindly and
generous. They will be able to
achieve lofty aims in any voca-
