Many Victory gardeners seem

Roads Administration has been directed to turn the
pioneer Alcan road into three-lane highway with
curves and grades comparable to super highway con-
struction standards in the States
During the next summer 1t is estimated that
5000 trucks will be in constant use in freightng
the Alcan road, and if fighting occurs in Alaska,
this number may be doubled.
Dmond and Magnuson point out that even by
using the eastern approach to Prince George from
Edmonton, and thence the proposed second
route 1870 miles of trucking would be saved at cost
of 80 cents per mile of bare operating cost In
terms of 5000 trucks the amount saved would be
tremendous-more than 100000 for each round trip.
Not only would the new route soon pay for it

of the West Coast with Alaska

A SECOND ROAD

Alaska Delegate Anthony j. Diniond has teamed
up with Washington Congressman Warren G. Mag
nuson for renewed campaign to push for the
struction of a second highway to Alaska one that
would link the Pacific Coast states with the
Territory.
The proposed route would take off from Prince
George, B. c., connect with the Alcan south of
Whitehorse, T., would be only 637 miles long, has
the approval of Secretary of the Interior Harold l.,

Stinlson +"
At present the overland route to Alaska can be
reached from the Western States which have the
closer tie with the Northland, only by driving away
from Alaska to Great Falls, Montana, thence to CAL
gary and to Edmonton
& Delegate Dmond points out that the War De-
partment at first opposed the Acan Highway favor
ing rail connections, but when the necessity of the
road became plain as a result of the Jap menace,
the Army undertook the job and pushed it to COM

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"

Benefic aspects dominate today
which should be fortunate for in
dustry. Labor is subject to prom
Using direction of the stars.
HEART AND HOME Small
cares may weigh on women today
when shopping may focus inter-
est. Girls will spend literally for
what are now catalogued as luxur-
les. Again the use of the family
cars will cause criticism as spring
invites all to pleasure drives. This
month will bring home to many
the real meaning of war. but the
American pleasant way of life will
continue to activate persons of all
ages. Love affairs will flourish and
hasty marriages will be numerous.
Fiction and the movies will empha-
size the theme of love at first sight
and weddings that have no con-
Germ regarding money or family
traditions.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Discussion
of CONSUMPTION of labor for farms,
oil fields and mines will be produc-
tive of wide differences of opin-
ion through coming months. Al
though volunteers will be numerous
there will be lack of experienced
workers, the stars seem to indi-
cate, and desperate measures to
provide labor, especially in agri-
culture, will be necessary. The need
for carefully planned distribution
of manpower for civilian tasks
which supply the armed forces as
we'll as home consumers will be
imperative.
| INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S:
General MacArthur's horoscope
provides many encouraging signs.
Through the coming summer his
forces will deliver shattering blows
which will start the final defeat of
Japan. Hard fighting in which the
enemy reveals amazing stubborn
ness and surprising strength is
prognosticated. September is to be
a most important month, but the
stars do not promise complete vic
tory in the Pacific for some time
Intuition, courage, daring and re-
SourcefulneSS are read as ruling
characteristics of the American
hero.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of advance

hard-hitting Congressman Wesley

Disney used to be prosecuting

prosecution tactics, Disney let loose
with speech which shattered the
opposition. He argued:
Cd Tax forgiveness would be the
entering wedge for reputation of
debt. The next step after forgiving
taxes. Disney warned, was to re-
pudiate government bonds, then
private debts. then mortgages, next
insurance obligations This argu-
ment made an impression
