ALASKA COTTON

Two enlisted looking in the window of Juneau photo shop, critically eying ar rangement of Alaska cotton. Said one: Huh, you can't tell me that stuff grows here They probably have it manufactured and shipped in to catch the suckers!'
 And the other chap agreed.
 Which started us thinking: Here is a town sprawling loosely like eagerly adaptable starfish along the scored feet of beetling Alaskan noun tains It's like all southeast Alaskan coast towns scrougng and gouging for another inch of space to make for another dwelling, but better favored in that respect than most. It is rugged and pie turesque and individual, and like it.
 But to the incoming boys used to the spacious geomerical patterns of plains towns ran-washed and sometime paintless dwellings must seem drab and the streets pinched and devious. And just Americans after all

 For years there have been thousands of Poles Czeehs, Belgans French and others from conquered countries fighting with the British armies. In ouI own army there are great numbers of refugees. Ir some instances the men from the conquered coun- tries have fought under their own flag in units made up exclusively of their compatrots The Po- fish Navy for example, is larger today with no in dependent Poland actually in existence than it ever was before 1899.
 The United States has largely made sudden move in the direction of recruiting soldiers of quered countries having authorized the recruitment of battalion of Austrians within the American Already the step is under severe criticism, the Otto it's sponsor" to strengthen his clarna dub- ous one in the eyes of Repubcans-to the flaps burg throne.
 Any attempt to recruit Czechs or Poles or Serbs in regiments of their particular nationality would invite similar criticism And it is doubtful whether the policy would be wise from purely military standpoint The men, recruited into regular battalons of the American Army, probably would fight just as well, and there would be no problem of friction between units made sup of foreigners and those made up of ordinary Americans. We who claim America homeland and all those who refugees from conquered lands have common enemy and a common purpose. It should not be necessary to provide special battaponS of foreign nationals order utilize the services of refugees able and eager to fight for the liberation of their homelands. There might, however, be some special cases in which battalions of Austrians or Czechs Poles would have propaganda value

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
Saturday, January 30

Benefic aspects rule through the busy hours of today which should be extremely fortunate for import ant initiative in civilian or military affairs.
 HEART AND HOME: Adverse planetary influences may affect women today, but they may ex- poet good news from men in the war genes. The day is favorable to wage earners of the family who should exercise discretion in using money It is most promising for all who pursue commercial vacations. Wo- men will prosper in small shops which they will establish with little capital. Girls should concentrate upon study or work. It is an un- favorable date for love affairs or for meeting young men in search of romance.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Purveyors of fuel of every sort will gain pro fits at this time when severe wea- ther will cause widespread discom- fcrt and danger. California and Florida will profit from real estate sales for future homes of persons who long have dwelt in states where ! heating is an annual problem. The configuration seems to be promis- ing to temporary ventures in buy ing and selling as means of cas- i ing strain on large concerns.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Washing ton may be harrassed by demands cf many new groups for special privileges. While national unity is a major aim, many naturalized cit izens will emphasize the value of esociation with persons belonging by birth to foreign lands. This form of patriotism is seen by as- trologers as likely to be more dan gerous than helpful, even though in the Army it might inspire fur ious fighting in retaliation for ter rible tortures inflicted upon rela- l oCcultists declare, for only the truly democratic motives must dom- mate in this struggle to preserve civilization.
 INTERNATIONAL FFAIR s: Tokyo will be subject to earth quakes and storms that precede the invasion which is prognosticated for a date earlier than that appar- ently planned by the United States. Lcsses in property and especially in agriculture are forecast. Confusion IS indicated. Crafty rumors will be disecinated. These will be ig- nored as part of the oriental treach- cry which is to be expected. The ' strength of Japan must not be ig nored, however, for the stars seem to warn that the Nazis will be sub dued first.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have , the augury of a year of excellent possibilities. Substantial benefits may be expected
 . Children born on this day pro- bably will be determined, ambi- tious and exceedingly bright ir , mind. Profound students may de- velop among these war babies who should be unusually talented.

 The engineer took the next train back to Washington, con- vinced that a diversion job wasn't needed, despite last-minute fran tic plea by the forts commanding officer that we'll have to double our water supply or move" It looked for a while as if the c. o.'s worst fears might be realized, but then one of his assistants got a bright idea.
 There's a law in Utah against hunting beavers" he said. But the law doesn't say anything about transplanting the beavers"
 The commanding officer took the tip. A number of beavers were rounded up and dropped at stra- tegic points in canyon streams, near the reservoir.
 Now Fort Douglas has no water problem. But what the War De- partment hasn't been told is that beaver dams provided the solution.
 Furthermore, you won't get any thing but vacant stare out of officers at the fort if you ask them how those beavers got where they are.

SILVER BEEK CANS

Shortage Of tin has given rise to experiments in substitutes, of which the most unusual, made in the laboratories of the Bureau of Standards, is the use of silver in making cans.
 The experiment was made at the request of beer. company. which hoped to prove that silver would be used instead of tin, and with out greater cost. The experiment was successful
 Thus U. s. beer drinkers may buy their beer III silver plated cans after the wa. For steel is the prineipal facto,' in making cans, and none can be spared during the war,
 Meanwhile, there's great demand for industrial use of silver for war purposes.

times loyal Jap evacuees take mat ters into their own hands. A Ne sci cook in the Heart Mountain Wyo,, detention camp became so infuriated at a young pro-Axis agi- tator, who refused to work in the camp messhall, that he went after him with a meat cleaver.
 The cleaver sliced a board which the agitator used as a shield, as neatly as a piece of kindling. The would-be victim apparently was in disfavor with the majority of his comrades in the camp, for an evacuee council voted unanimously to clear the cook of assault charges.

After The War

There has been much talk lately about
postwar planning, yet no down-to-earth,
practical scheme for continuing our pres
ent prosperity after the war seems to have
been worked out.
It may be the nature of most OF us to
shy away from such complicated subject,
but the solution is as important as the
winning of the war.
Since postwar planning depends on so
many unknown quantities, the average
man is apt to feel that there isn't much he
can do about it. But the final solution to
postwar problems probably will result
from what each individual does to keep
business rolling. The local business man,
the farmer, the factory worker and the
housewife all will play part in bringing
about depression or record prosperity.
For that reason, even though some of the
theoretic plans may be hard to follow, we
should all keep our interest alive in post
war planning and watch for the little
things we can do to insure future pros
perity

Illumination Clinics

Let's patronize our health department
and take advantage Of the imnunization
clinics scheduled to cover the entire county
this summer.
In the case of typhoid, diphtheria,
smallpox and other diseases, from which
we now have immunization by vaccination,
we owe it to ourselves and particularly to
children to take advantage of this.
The health department is doing splen-
did job and if the people take advantage
of it's services, this county can be made
a healthier place in which to live.
Vaccination is very small thing, par
ticularly when you stop to think that it
NAV save untold illness and even lives in
many cases. Now, when many doctors are
away in the service and those left behind
have more work than they can convenient
ly handle, we not only owe it to ourselves
but to our nation and to the war effort, to
keep as we'll as possible.

Dear Ed,

The talk you made recently at
the Rotary Club meeting and
your editorials concerning the es-
Enlistment of agricultural depart
ments in some of the Ashe county
schools impresSes me a being one
of the most progressive moves
started in the agricultural field
in the county.
The establishment of such de-
partments in the schools would
be great help to the New River
Soil Conservation District in car
rying out it's program of soil con-
servation and land use.
AS it is now, the district is
working primarily with the pres
ent generation of farmers who are
just getting started on a sound
soil management program. If
the work was also taught in the
schools the future generation of
farmers would already have a
working knowledge of conserva-
ton practices before they actual
ly take over the responsibility of
farm. It also would be a help
in reaching more farmers with
tbs conservation program. An
example would be the teaching
OF a class of young boys the value
Of strip farming in a we'll plan
ned soil management program
for farm. If the boys thorough
ly understood the value of this
practice and we taught simple
methods of stalking contour lines
they could assist on their farms
in establishing the practice.
The same principle applies to
other conservation practices such
as pasture management, the es-
Enlistment of good pastures,
temporary grazing crops, perren-
lal hay crops, contour cultivation,
the use of terraces and diversion
bitches, the planting of trees and
woodland management, as we'll
as study Of the make up of the
soils and it's capabilities under
different conditions.
The supervisors of the New
River Soil Conservation District
agree with you that the establish
men of agricultural departments
in the schools is a we'll worth
while project and offer their
whole hearted support. If we
can be of any help to you, we will
be glad to do so.
Jas. T. McLaurin,
New River Soil Conserva-
zionist.
