MAYBE WE ARE LUCKY

If we haven't been properly appreciatve OF what
it means to have no ratoning of foodstuffs in Al
aska this editorial in the Cincinnati Enquirer COM
inenting upon the simple system of rationing,
should make So
Some uathematcay minded gent in the Office
of War Information has devised very simple" for
mula for budgeting food ration points on weekly
basis
There's nothing TO it, the OWL man says. All
you do is multiply your 48 points by the number OF
persons in the familyif there four the total is
1872 We can get that far. But after that we get
all balled up, because you have to divide the result
by the number of weeks in the month and that gets
into fractions and the whole thing leaps out of hand
In the end we don't know anymore about how many
points we have per week than we did before we
started.
The OWL fellow apparently wasn't SO hot on it
either for he said March had Az weeks
The way figure its 81 weeks and to divide
that into 1872 isn't simple for editorial writer It's
impossible!

M0LLER TROPHY
RACE TO BE HELD
next SUNDAY

Tentative plans to hold the Mol
Ter Trophy Race on Sunday March
%, were announced today by the
Tournament Committee of the Ju-
neau Ski Club.
An earlier decision not to hold
the race was tentatively reversed
due to unusually good snow condi-
lions this late in the season, and
the race scheduled for Sunday is
dependent upon favorable trail
conditions
Plans will proceed to hold the
race, and final decision as to the
competition will be made by Friday
of this week, Ski Club officials said
this afternoon. The presence of
Dan Moller. donor of the trophy, in
Juneau has acted as an incentive
to hold the race this year.
Contrary to expectations, condi-
lions over the entire Douglas Is
land ski area were excellent over
the weekend The quick freeze Sat-
urday night resulted in a last min
ute improvement in snow condi-
tions, and skiers in all sections re-
ported good skiing everywhere.
