Reynolds Metals Company fol-
years had been the leading manu-
facturer of metal foils, especially
aluminium foils, for wrapping candy
and cigarettes. But it had to buy
its aluminium from the great mon
opoly, Aluminium Company OF
America.
Reynolds had the impertinenct
to buck that monopoly, and now he
is turning out aluminium for some
thing more strategic than candy
wrappers. His company has sur
passed its own production esti-
mates, while ALCOA has failed tc
meet theirs.
Reynolds says, Il got my mono
poly lesson at the age of twelve
when I defeated the 18-year
marble king of Bristol (Vaa. car
ried my bag of marbles home, anc
hid them in the attic. I enjoyed
short period of glory. Younger

breeds. BY boarding my winnings

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not coanpeW
FRIDAY, JANUARY

| fhlDA1 JAIN OnN
Conflicting planetary aspects are
active on this first day of the new
year which is to be the most ire
mendously eventful in all history,
Serious introspection and careful
planning are recommended by the
SeerS.
HEART AND HOME Celebra-
lions of this holiday will be
marked by reverent recognition OF
national blessings. In public and
private gatherings there will be
tears for last years sorrows ana
smiles for hopes that belong to
1913. Changes in family circles VIII
be accepted courageously as the
outlook for coming sacrifices is
emphasized by wars expansion.
While the seers promise victory
more brilliant than any ever
achieved, it must be won at su-
preme cost. Through many tribui
lations the world is to be purified
and its peoples uplifted.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Regimen
tation OF industry will be even
more general than in recent months
with stimulating results in produc-
zion. Independent business men OF
small capital will find employment
more and more with great con-
Germs that make a specially OF
fitting workers to tasks best suited
to them. The influx of women will
establish wages and working con-
ditionS for which feminiStS have
long fought Many merchants will
enjoy a brisk post-holiday trade
as shoppers spend their generous
, gifts of Christmas money. Depict
ed stocks of merchandise will be
adequate for the varied demands
upon them.
NATIONAL ISSUES: In looking
forward through l943 and its po-
tentialities thoughtful persons will
realize the Importance of prepared
ness for lasting peace. Lessons from
mistakes following the First World
War will be studied lest idealism
prevent practical realism in deal
ing with actual conditions. The
first importance of unity of pur-
pose must be accepted, astrologers
point out, and when human ma
ture is analysed and differences
Of national outlooks are adjust
ed, the victorious United Nations
must proceed with the utmost di-
plomacy and forgiveness toward the
| vanquished as new world is
placed on sure foundations
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s:
Despite the splendid gain in
strength by the United Nations
and the brilliant victories on land
and sea, warning is given tn at
there will be dark days as we'll as
days when our forces are success
full. This new year will be decisive
but when Uranus is established in
Gemini III 1914 evil portents are
discerned. The strength of the
Japanese must not be underesti-
mated, astrologers warn, and they
predict that terrible and barbaric
methods of desperate warfare will
be introduced by the Axis powers.
Nazi desperation will encourage
japanese savagery.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of a year of un-
usual experiences, among which
will be many that are most for
tunate.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be serious and conscien-
tiouS, energetic and intelligent.
Success is indicated for both bows
and girls.

No Slump in Bond Sales

anchorage Times
1t was AN embarrassing moment when the report
was made that Anchorage, for the first time, had
failed to reach her quota for monthly war bond
purchases in November But it only for mo-
ment for Colonel Ohlson chairman of the local war
bond committee quickly determined the cause.
The failure is the result of bookkeeping Indi-
cations that citizens of Anchorage maintain
ing the excellent record of patriotism and coopera-
ton in the war effort. Somewhere the books were
juggled that this city did not receive credit for
all the sales made here.
Colonel Gibson discovered that bonds purchased
by employees of the Alaska Railroad under the pay
roll deduction plan, were being credited to Juneau
instead of to Anchorage November the first
month this had happened. November was the first
month Anchorage had fallen below the quota. The
total purchases by rail employees was more than
sufficient to maintain the record of going overthe
top.
