FOR THE VETERANS

project which everyone in Alaska should get to work as possible is program through which Alaska returning veterans those who will need permanent medical care temporary care, can be taken of in hospitals right here in Alaska and not in the States.
 Whether not separate hospitals could be se- cured whether existing hospitals could be used. are things which we do not know
 We do know, however, that most of the men who to the battlefronts from Alaska, certainly do not look forward to returning to hospitals in the States. though these hospitals may be better than Alaska could hope to have.
 Along the same line, much talk has been going around about Government sponsored make work proj- ects on which mainly returning veterans would be employed after the war.
 We are sure, however that these men will not want to return to WPA jobs and urge that what done along this line be directed towards placing these men in employment by private enterprise

HOROSCOPE "The stars tnclime
 bat do not compel"
FRIDAY, MAY 19


 This is not an important day in planetary governme n t. In the afternoon hours Saturn is in bene- fic aspect.
 HEART AND HOME: Under this configuration aged members of the family should receive special con- sideration Many people past middle age will reach the. end of their careers; this is the time to seek their counsel
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Jewellers are to profit from the sale of prec- ious. stones. The stars seem to presage. an amazing demand for costly keepsakes. Birthstones will be purchased in large numbers. For this month the sapphire should be chosen NATIONAL ISSUES: Wartime development of bureaucracies will be widely discussed as a campaign issue but the stars are read as pre- saging commendation for many
  forms of Government direction. Constructive criticism is of more value than destructive comment, as- trologers point out. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Mars setting at Chungking has been interpreted as presaging say age fighting in China which will need the utmost help the United Nations can supply. Japan will be hampered by supply problems which vii hasten defeat.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fairly good luck. There should be determined and persistent. effort.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be ambitious and ener- getic. Success and fame are fore told for many born under war con ditions.

How much of this new striking
