THE MOST WORTHY

Of all of the numerous campaigns for funds which the Empire is asked to support, none is more deserved believe, than the present drive to raise money for the of crippled children
 We endorse this campaign sincerely and whole heartedy.
 There can be no greater tragedy than child hood blighted by crippling disease that strikes suddenly and ndiscriminaely at those of the golden age of life The sight of twisted child on crutches is heart-rending picture.
 Given scientific treatment by specialists, large percentage of these crippled children can be cured The Chidren's Orthopedic Hospital in Seattle, staffed with special nurses and the best trained specialists many of the latter donating their serv- ices has set fine record in making life worth liv- ing for thousands of children
 No case is considered hopeless at this hospital and in many like it. Near miracles have been wrought in these institutions.
 But nothing can be accomplished without money. Juneau and its surrounding area has many cases which should be sent Outside for specialized treat ment It is the hope of the committee in charge of this drive that enough money can be raised to care for large part of these
 No goal has been set for the campaign. It is obvious that matter how much money is raised, the amount will not could not be adequate But

 Making radio condensers was right down his alley. Years before he had operated Bridgeport, Conn. plant making similar equipment. So in a few days he reported to the Army that he had found the pro- duction without building a single plant.
 Meanwhile Senate investigators are probing into some letters ex- changed between Gen. Somervell and the WIPE Planning Board, in which the WIPE warned Somervell last April that he was building too many factories for trucks tanks, jeeps. ordnance. Somervell wrote back peremptorily that he was not; in effect told the WIPE to mind it's own business.
 Today, however, Somervell has ordered tank production suddenly curtailed, is holding up ordnance plants, while jeeps, trucks, tanks are strewn all over fields anc railway sidings of certain east coast and industrial areas.
 The Army simply shot way over the mark. This would have beer forgivable if the steel which went into this equipment had not beer so vitally needed for ships te

Drinking in the Army
Cincinnati Enquirer


 As sort of glorified rumor clinic, the Office of War Information has done great deal to scotch those malicious lies which spread swiftly in war time and work so much damage. Never has it done a better job along this line than in its report on the of ntoxicapts in the Army. It finds the American Army today the best-behaved army in history, with notable preference for soft drinks over the mildest of intoxicants. The OWI has given encouraging report, and it has shown facts that make it's findings completely trustworthy
 Probably than half the families in the country have a son or brother father in the armed services most of them in the Army. It should bring real comfort to the families of men in the service to learn and learn authortatively, that the typical Army post is not the sodden place some rumormongers would have it.
 Naturally, there problems, of them America. large proportion of the in uni form accustomed to drink beer liquor at home It is to be expected they will continue, all though probably not often much, in the Army. The trouble develops in almost every n- stance, where great numbers of troops concen- trated far from any sizable city, and recreation facilities off the post are inadequate.
 One of the principal conclusions of the OwI is that the sale of 32 beer Army posts is an aid to sobrety This is unquestionably true, and it fleets credit on the military who laid out the policy for training centers. Their goal is control and not prohibition of drinkng-which ought to be the goal of civilian communities as we'll and usu- ally is.

 The copper mills didn't much like the idea, because rolling alu- minmm requires more heat an d isn't so. good for their equipment. But Wilson, having been in con- tact with copper people for years knew just whom to talk to, and with a few long distance phon calls he did the whole thing. So in November aluminium production instead of going down, went up and one big bottleneck for planes was licked.
 But just the same, the Army still refuses to give Wilson full power and secretly is conniving to get him out.

 Buy a ticket even if you aren't planning to attend The ducats sell for $165 and will admit one couple to the dance or entertainment in the Baranof Hotel.
 But that is small amount for two persons to donate for cause such as this. The true humani- tartan will realize this and donate generously Cash contributions will be gratefully accepted Already, several anonymous wishers have started the ball rolling in this respectone to the tune of S25 gift There should be many of these.
 The amount that raised last year was pitt fully small and disgrace to the community. Don't let that happen again this year This is local cam paign in every respect. It is being given plenty oi publicity Its success or failure depends only upon the residents of the community.
 We suggest that you earmark your $1.65 for your ticket right now, if that's all you think you can truthfully give Or still better take out your pen and write out check for a larger amount and mail it to the office of B.

ALUMINIUM UNBoTTLED

The encouraging airplane fig ures announced by Roosevelt at the opening of Congress were large ly the result of Wilson's efforts. In September and October, air plane production was discouragingly low. In November it picked up and in December it zoomed.
 One reason it was low in Sep tember and October was the bottle peck in certain aluminium parts. When the President visited the Douglas plant in California he saw row upon row of planes finished except for one small part.
 So Wilson looked over aluminium production, saw that it was expect ed to be down in October; down also in November.
 So, getting together with Ferd Eberstadt, WIPES hard-hitting ma terials executive, Wilson said:
 Why can't we get the copper boys to roll aluminium There are plenty of aluminium ingots, it's

 It Is this dividing up of the war program, so that the Army does not overshoot on tanks and the Navy on battleships. which Wilson contends must be done by civilian agency.

HOROSCOPE E "The stdrs inclime
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY, JANUARY 21

After the early morning, benefic aspects rule strongly today. In the morning those who direct may be confused or uncertain, but later the stars smile upon the Navy and Air Forces.
 HEART AND HOME: Women should feel stimulated and happy under this configuration which is beneficial to work, uplifting to the spirit and conducive to concentra- tion. It is lucky wedding day which promises long life and sue cess. Even grandmothers should benefit under this unusually favor able rule of the planets There is promising sign for changes due to wartime conditions; new environ ment and new friends will bring happiness. This is an suspicious date for recreation. Theaters will profit and concert programs will gain in popularity.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: While this planetary rule prevails, big cor porations may meet many ob- s.tacles and difficulties. The stars seem to frown upon large pro- fits and to presage for holders of Government contracts unexpected disappointments. The seers pro- phesy that for time after peace is attained regimentation of business will continue, but they foresee in the Aquarian age nearer an equal ity. of possessions than in previous times. The capitalistic system will be improved, not abolished. Great business concerns and large farm acreages will be operated scientifi- cally. but profits will be distributed widely.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Danger that volunteers in home defense or ganizations may lose interest or re- lax vigilance is foreseen by astrol- ogers who warn that safety should not encourage carelessness. Since Pearl Harbor the United States has built up marvellous network of defense, including many types of trained service. Air wardens are as well organized and as efficient as if both of our coasts had been repeat edly bombed. Since perfection of our intricate machinery is nearly achieved and novelty has worn off in the numerous activities, tempta- tion to be less enthusiastic may ac- sail many weary workers. The seers emphasize the importance of civil defense block service now we'll started in many cities.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Signs read as presaging Axis efforts to scatter United Nations strength by simultaneous attacks on many points are indicative of necessary changes in enemy war plans. It is likely our splendid victories will bring about desperate measures for next month; ferocious fighting is forecast. Losses for the Allies may be heavy, but the stars presage steady progress toward complete defeat for Germany and Japan. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of numerous problems. Love affairs will disturb many. Changes chould be avoided if possible.
 Children born on this day pro- bably will be wayward in nature but highly intelligent. They should be carefully guided toward success. Copyright, 1943)

WILSON'S TURBINE MIRACLE

Furthermore, Wilson naS tn 6 strong support of the White House and also the Navy. The Navy was instrumental in getting him down here, after they saw what he did in manufacturing turbines at a GE plant in Pennsylvania. This plant was turning out one turbine a month, later increased to two; then the Navy wanted him to null tiply the production severalfold. A turbine is a tremendously compli- cated piece of machinery, hitherto never made by mass production methods. However, Wilson per- formed the impossible and the Pennsylvania plant is now making even more than the Navy believed possible.
 Meanwhile, despite Army at tempts to euchre Wilson out of Washington, he continues to per form production miracles which the Army never dreamed possible.

 wilson, however, is a tough fighter. When he tackles a thing he doesn't quit. Old friends of his in other industries-perhaps in- spired by the Army-have been urging him to return home.

Fairbanks Agency Robbery Dis covered Late Monday;
 Loss Unknown

In one of, the smoothest safe cracking jobs ever perpetrated in the Territory. some person or persons rifled 90 safe deposit boxes in the vault of the Fair banks Agency Company in the Empress Theater Building over the week -end and escaped unde- tected with an unknown amount of cash and valuables, possibly running into thousands of dol lars.
 The amount of the loot cannot be estimated until the owners of the contents of the boxes have determined their individual loss es. Apparently money chiefly was taken, since bonds and con- siderable quantity of jewelry were left behind.
 Discovery Late Sunday
 The robbery was discovered about 4:10 Sunday afternoon, but of course, it had occurred many hours earlier. Police were called by Mrs. Louise Alldred, who has charge of the Agency office, after Al J. Pierce, Canadian Pacific Air Lines representative, had looked into the vault and seen the safe-deposit boxes on the floor.
 According to Mrs. Alldred, the combination on the steel door leading to the basement vault had failed to work when she tried to open the vault at 10 o'clock Monday morning. She tried the combination several times during the day but was unable to open the door, and finally she left the combination set on the opening point and went on about her business.
 Door Opens
 Along about 4 p. m., Pierce, who has an office opening off the Agency office, was talking with Mrs. Alldred about the diff ficulty and jokingly grabbed the handle of the vault door. To their surprise the door opened easily. Pierce glanced down the stairs into the safe-deposit room and saw the lock-boxes scattered on the floor. He called Mrs. Alldred, who immediately telephoned the City Police.
 90 Boxes Rifled
 Officers found that two units of AS boxes each-Nos. l to 45 and 101 to 145-had been lifted from their places. The backs o1 the units had been removed and the boxes taken out from the rear.
 Every box had been sorted over

VALUABLES TAKEN FROM SAFETY DEPOSIT BOXES IN FAIRBANKS ROBBERY

and there was no money left in any of them. One Canadian $10 note was found lying on the floor.
 Since each unit of boxes weighs in the neighborhood of soc pounds, it was estimated that at least two husky men were involv- ed in the burglary. One unit was lifted from its place on the top tier and lowered to the floor without scarring the linoleum. The other was left resting on a table.
 Plates Welded On
 It was noted also that consider able skill was required to re- move the steel backs from the units. These heavy plates are se- cured by interlocking steel Jugs and are then welded in place.
 Although the combination to the vault door had failed to work all day Monday, officers deter mined that it had not been dam aged and has been working per fectly ever since. There was no evidence to show that forcible means had been employed to en- ter the office itself.
 Federal and city officers were busily Investigating all angles of the affair today, interviewing those who might be able to pro- vide clues. They declined to in- dicate what line their investiga- tions were taking or what hopes they had of solving the case.
 Others Untouched
 The Agency office announced that all holders of the rifled box es had been notified and that none of the other boxes in the 200-box vault had been touched. No one will be permitted to enter the vault until the officers have finished their investigations.
 Regular safe deposit procedure is followed by the Agency com pany. No one is permitted to en- ter the vault who is not known and anyone going into the vault is accompanied by one of the office force. A record is kept of those coming and going.
 Richard Wood, head of the Fairbanks Agency Company, has been in the hospital since last Monday, receiving treatment for burns received in an accident at his home.-(Fairbanks News Siner).
