Aries - II you cannot find
yourself how can others find
you? And when you rush heed
less in any direction you're go
ing to be nervous and create
that atmosphere in others about
you. Be calm about everything
and that especially holds if
your routine is heavy.
APRIL 2f TO MAY go
Taurus-Crowded with chores
and hard routine? If you let
your mind be crowded, too you'll
clutter up your thinking and
turn in poor judgments and
probably wind up with a nervous
headache. Be wise land more
efficiently by being orderly, col
lected, confident.
MAY 81 TO JUNE 2f
Gemini-Born before June s?
Especially mind the disposition

generally any department in
which money and future security
is involved. All: Straight think
ing, sound acting!
JUNE 22 TO JULY 90

JULY 81 TO AUG. 22

your share is directed in the
right channels for the right
causes. You can be a great
force for good-don't let us
down.
AUG. IS TO SEPT. 20
Virgo - Remarks, sometimes
only the most casual ones, often
are the cause of needless bicker-
ing and m i u n d erstandings;
guard against these and any
other ."little" things that can
boil into a devastating fury,
Tact and evenly allocated work
and relaxation important.
SEPT. 81 TO OCT. rs
Libra-Keeping your nervous
system, your digestive organs
and other mental and physical
potencies in good order is vital
to your contentment and the
success Of whatever duties are
yours.
OCT. 81 TO NOV. e2
Scorpio-Your planets are in
more favorable configurations
than most other of today's
zodiacal natives - extend your
better self without reserve, BUT
DON'T OVEREXTEND. II is

erly needed energies.
NOV. 20 TO DEC. 2e

Scorpio's, are in excellent posi-
ton TO one another. Make every

interests from intruders; don't
pass on reports" which are
usually the type of rumors our
government is trying to stop. Be
eager-and ION the BEAM"

Aqudrius - Here's another of
those days when an Aquarium

obstacles and despite the fact
that others are having a more
difficult time trying to reach
goals. Use your bag of tricks
the right way, friend!

Pisces - Generally favorable

than appear at first glance. Get
to the core of things quickly
and you'll have an easier time
getting them done well. And
don't forget-a kind word when
least expected does untold good.
A CHILD born on this day:
Strong-minded, yet may be led
wrongly by others of strong
mind if not careful. Talented in
a number of ways; naturally
capable in difficult situations.

Every homemaker will be sure
TO have a perfect dinner and the
a bic attractively decorated.
Flowers are always the perfect
centerpiece for any dinner but
for Thanksgiving fruits and
vegetables are som e m s

tiny pumpkins, corn on the cob
and autumn leaves are suitable.
Grapes, apples, bananas and
apples with foliage is very
pretty and have lighted candles
too.
When possible, have other
young people in to dinner. If
you have a piano be sure there
is popular music on hand. 1t

to finish the day with a theater
party. If this is planned be sure
the boys are told in advance, as
they may have evening dates.

HOME FRI FORECAST - COddle Your Alarm Clock:
 There Won't Be Any More
By ANN FRANCE WILSON

NEA 6cEFicC CtdII OOEEVeSOUucHt
 Washington-Take care of your old alarm clock. They're hard to get now, and when dealers present stocks are exhausted, they'll be gone for the duration.
 The reasons for the shut down are few and simple: for one thing. alarm clocks use considerable scarce copper in their mechanisms. Also, skilled watchmakers are needed to turn out time fuses for delayed action bombs, which have a mech anism similar to clocks.
 AS for watches, production of the cheaper, non-jewel varieties has virtually stopped. But you'll still be able to get some imported jewell movement watches from Switzerland And the stock of electric clocks looks pretty good.
