The Russians Are Back in Alaska
(Ketchikan Chroniclel

(Ketchikan Chronicle)
 It's been 76 years since Russians officially ceased doing business in Alaska and turned the Territory to the United States to become this countrys last frontier.
 Today however, the Russians back, doing a kind of business with headquarters in Fairbanks
 Robert P. Patterson, Undersecretary of War, told the Truman Committee a few days ago about the establishment and operation of the Fairbanks relay station for combat planes headed for Russia Appar- ently it is the first such base American soil.
 Fairbanks citizens have been quite reticent about their new friends from the Boring, but have found them allies and interested observers
 The Russians come down town in small groups and buy all the knickknacks, soap, gum and cigarettes they acquire These they take back to loved in a country that has time to make such luxuries.
 Some of the buying is done with big S1 bills, obsolete years ago in this country Where these came from along with occasional $2 note nobody knows
 There Russian women flyers at Fairbanks too and they've shown Aaskans how to make borsch and other dishes that famous from Vladivostok Len~ ingrad. Some Fairbanksans learning to speak Russian from the Sovets And of Army aviators who became curious about Arctic flying when the Red airmen showed it's possibilities against Fin land, enjoy comparing notes with the visitors. The Fairbanks airbase established largely for the purpose of working out the problems of Arctic aviation.

SATURDAY. DECEMBER Is

SATURDAY, DECEMBER IS Adverse aspects dominate in the early hours today but benefic 'n- fluences are active later. There is a sign presaging good news from battle fronts.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under the most favorable planetary direction today. It is an suspicious date for love letters and most for tunate for marriage engagements. It is a happy wedding date. Brides maids of today should become brides before June.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Caution should guide as the last of the years business obligations are met and plans for next year formulated. Seers counsel extreme care in hus- banding resources for postwar exl- gencies. The coming week is to show record breaking trade in retail in- dustry
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Wartime re- strictions may be extended and rig idly enforced in the coming year. Ration boards will gain condemna- tion for apparently unwise limita- tions on buying and selling. Pubic peeves will provide materisi for foolish political propaganda, it is foretold
 INTERNATIONAL. A AFF A I R s: As the war reaches its most terrible momentum and a second front de- monstrates it's tremendous power, the Axis will increase barbaric prac- tices. Secret and horrible methods of reprisal will be practiced. Again residents of the United States are warned of internal perils.
 Persons whose birthdate 1t is have the augury of a year Of unforeseen upheavals which will terminate for tunately. All financial risks should be avoided.
 Children born on this day will have success and happiness but they may be liable to accidents or sudden illnesses. 9

 Strike action by labor damaging to the war effort, brought about the Anti-Strike Act, taking from labor much of the freedom for which it has fought for many years. Any strike of the size con- templated by the railroad brotherhoods will most probably force Congress of such legisla- ton, bring more setbacks.
 The coal strike settled one thing. It showed that the Government would not hesitate in taking over and running the mines-with armed troops-n such was necessary to the winning of the war

December 30 has been set as the date when mem- bers oftthe five railway unions of the United States will go strike to enforce demands for wage increases Another black eye for labor.
 It is not question of whether or not an increase in wages the railroad workers is justified In order to win war everything no matter what it is, must come secondary to the war efort-the production and transportation of goods to the fighting front being of utmost importance. This is time for sacrifice when every American should not be thinking of his lot but rather about what he can do to speed victory.
