Add Charm
To'SEpcovers

YOU CAN perform decorator
magic for any slipcover by plac-
ing cut-out fabric flower, clus-
tiers across the back, arms or
seat cushions and appliquing
them with the zigzagger attach
ment.
This trick often saves an old
slipcover with worn areas from
the discard. and for a new slip
cover just something to cover a
piece of furniture and a CLAM
orous addition.
Sewing machine finishes for
slipcovers can be counted on TO
enhance the whole appearance
of the job if care is taken and
some thought given to what is
suitable for the room.
A slipcover in Victorian style
and fabric would look more
charming with a ruffled TERED
skirt, than a straight skirt with
kick-pleat corners. In the same
way, a sleek, modern styled
slipcover would look much
better with>a straight skirt and
inverted corner pleats.
Another skirt suggestion for
the slipcover that is going to
be used in an early American
or Colonial room. is to pleat il
all around with the sewing ma
chine pleater attachment.

Just a Healthy Girl

Ann is the most unaffected
glamour girl l have ever met.
She calls herself Just a big
healthy girl. And, as she says,
she is strictly a three-meal-a-
day girl.
She is 5 feet 6 inches tall and
usually weighs 126 pounds,
which is tops for the films. Her
measurements: Bust 36 inches,
waist % inches. hips 36 inches.
On the trip she lost IL pounds
and was down TO lie pounds,
which is ultra streamlined.
Some stars would be glad of it
and try 10 keep their weight
pared down, but not this girl
from Texas. She is out TO re-
gain the II pounds just as fast
as she can. She thinks it's silly
for any girl TO try 10 be too
thin.
When l asked what she eats,
she said. Il have all the wrong
habits-I love potatoes, and
bread and butter, and ! drink

No Mystery

What's the mysterious power
which makes a certain human
being stand out above the herd,
drawing the masses after him
irresiStibly making them
trust him and accept his advice
as gospel?
Is there such a power? Yes,
there is. But there's no rare
mystery about it. Nor is any
special talent or training re-
quired for a demonstration. The
poorest mantle most obscure
and penniless can become a
leader as well as the front page
millionaire provided he pos
SeSses one characteristic. And
that one is confidence.
Common Trait
No two people are alike.
Countless differences in posi-
ton and disposition separate
each of us from the rest of the
race. But there's one trait we
all possess in common-we're
all afraid. And we've always
been afraid ever since Eve ate
that first sour apple. But never
has there been such universal

Stand Steady

Leaders? What have they got
that you haven't? Just that
confidence, They may have
many other assets also, but the
one that convinceS you and
makes them leaders is their
heartening ability to stay put
and help you do likewise.
So what? That's all. You
may not be a Roosevelt or a
Dewey-and you should thank
your lucky stars that you are
not-but you can share the
secret Of their power in your
own more limited sphere. There
is always a mob waiting to
cheer and follow the person who
can stand steady and consume
his own smoke.

terror as that which darkens
life today. We are no longer
merely timid. We are panic
stricken. The very roots of
our being are demoralized. And
the one thing we seek above all
else is a person or a plan which
will calm our fear. organize our
faith and make us feel brave
and purposeful.

MufHe Doubts

Why do President Roosevelt
and Gov. Dewey capture our
imagination? Because each man.
in his particular way-and
according to our particular
taste-inspires confidence. Life
is as uncertain for them as it
is for the rest Of us. They are
as Mortified, as bewildered, as
shocked and enraged as the
simplest citizen. But they have
learned to ride their fears Z.
To muffle their doubts TO
stand steady in the midst of
appalling changes. And because
they have developed this quail
ity they seem like bomb shell
tiers in the midst of a blitz.
And we follow them, seeking
shelter and reinsurance.

ALE . IAN 1OLA4NO bEAOL-- Eo- tablishment of the new I7th Naval District in he Alaska area marks a departure from the pre-war "hot weather" navy, Rear Admiral Whit ing, first commandant of the dis trict said this week.
 Creation of the district, he added, establishes the permanent naval im- portance of the northern territory just as it's military value was recog- nized when the Alaskan Department was established last November by the Army
 Three or four years ago out hot weather Navy knew but little about operations this far north" he said. We didn't even have clothing for it, but now 1 don't think anyone can say our men are not adequately provided with cold weather gear"
 In. the four months he has been in the area. Whiting said, Navy bases along the Aleutians have ad- vanced through the building stage to the full operations stage.

NEW DRAFT ORDER


 NEW YORK-Receipt of nation wide orders from Major General Lewis B. Hershey to halt induction of all men over 26 who are mak- ing a contribution essential in ag- ricultural or war production or war-supporting activities" was an- nounced this week by New York City draft headquarters.
 Colonel Arthur McDermott, city Selective Service director, said the order went to all state directors and applies to all men over 26 "even though such men have been found acceptable for military service or have been ordered to report for in duction or pre-induction physical examinations. {"
 Earlier in the week Hershey had said that the group under 26 would be taken first, but that the age bracket of eligibles then would be moved higher.
 At Washington, Selective Service said the new policy is effective until local boards have substantially ac- complished" tn e processing or younger men. How long a delay will be granted the older groups was not known. The action was taken at the request of the Army and Navy. both of which asked for younger men.

that before assuming statehood. the Territory should be prepared to as- sume the various governmental and financial responsibilities Partie- ularly. he objected to the section of the statehood bill that provides for the proposed state to retain all pub lie property and vacant and un- appropriated lands This section. he said would turn over to one state tremendous natural resources ae- quired by the U. s. government and held for the benefit Of all it's people.
 Wants Fisheries
 Ickes also objected 10 turning over to a state of Alaska the con trol of its fisheries. He suggested that before statehood is attained the Territory and federal agencies co- operate in "a program to develop and divert Alaska's resources.
 Dimond also made public a tele- gram he had sent to Governor Ern- est Gruening at Juneau urging him to call a special session of the territorial legislgture to provide for military personnel to vote in the 1914 general election.

seems as though our baker is yaca- tioning in Petersburg and we are unable to obtain the patty shells. and as you know, folks, creamed chicken without patty shells is like apple pie a la Mud without the mud. There have been many re- quests for the old Pot Luck lunch. so ladies. bring your special dish. Our first party started out with a Pot Luck lunch and it was the best of the year. So it's only fitting and proper that We should end 1t that way.
 Some of the committee have been unable to do their part so to make amends. Brother Kenny Stensland and his six-fOot-two partner have agreed to start out the first party next fall with the ereamed chicken feed. and all by themselves. no help from anyone. So folks, keep 1t in mind for you really have something 10 look forward to.

VICTORY GARDENING
 AND SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA
By ". R. Carter

! 0g w. b. NaAlGI EXtentiOn Service, .. of A
 The United States Department Of ! Agriculture and War Food Admin |istration are attempting to increase food production in Alaska At least '16 million home gardens is the goal set for 1944. Southeastern Ala ska must produce its share, approx imaely 2500. It should be the aim of every home gardner to grow suff- icent to supply the family's needs for summer and all use fresh, for canning some of the winters sup ply, and also some cabbage and root crops for winter storage. Victory gardens in the States produced ov- CT 8 milli0n tons Of erogA voglStes last year. Had there been no Vie tory gardens. there would have be- en nearly million less of fresh vegetables for civilians of this eou- ntry to eat. In other words, home gardeners in the states made it pos sible for you to purchase fresh veg etables, Without Victory gardens a shortage of food of disastrous proportions would have resulted. The demand for fresh and proeessed vegetables this year will far exceed last years supply
 It is very essential that South eastern Alaska produce all the let tuce. broccoli, endive, kale. swiss chard, peas, carrots, turnips, beets, radishes, .ruta bagas and other crops, for use fresh or to can for winter storage.
 There is not a piece of ground in Southeastern Alaska :. which. given the benefit of most of the sun and proper drainage, correct fertilizer and necessary amount of care. that will not produce the vegetables mentioned.
 Numerous home gardens are Iy- ing idle. Many home gardeners could increase their production over previous years.
 We must look beyond 1944, for the food requirements will be great for some years to cOme--

WASHINGTON-The opinion that legislation to give statehood to AL aska should be delayed until after the war has been submitted. by four government departments, to Delegate Anthony J. Dimond. he re- yealed this week
 Dimond made public reports Of the War. Navy. Justice and Interior departments on Dimond's bill which is an enabling act to create the 18th American state by taking AL aska out of the territorial status.
 Secretary Ickes of the Interior De partment said: T believe statehood is desirable as the ultimate status for Alaska. However, for several reasons, I believe that statehood is not appropriate at this time and for these reasons I recommend that the bill be not enacted in this session of Congress"
 Navy's Objection
 The Justice Department suggested change in the bill regarding the judicial system. especially the pro- vision requiring that persons hold ing Federal court appointments in Alaska have to be citizens of Alas ka. Such a provision. it said, is not required in other judicial circuits.
 The Navy objected, Dimond re- ported, to the turning over of all public unappropriated land to a state of Alaska. saying it would op- crate to make more costly the es- tablishment of military and Naval reservations and possibly affect the huge Naval oil reserves of the Ter ritOry.
 The War Department said it had no objection to the bill but asked that action be deferred until after the war
 Ickes said the economy of Alaska is not firmly established. He said
