Mrs. Jones Evacuated

Mrs. Charles Foster Jones, the only American woman captured by the Japanese on the American continent, was evacuated by air via Yokohama, according to As sociated Press dispatches.
 Mrs. Jones, who had been in Alaska 20 years, was with her husband on Attu when the Jap anese landed in I942.
 According to Associated Press "the Japanese killed her husband and took her to Japan where she was interned outside of Totsuka, ]2 miles southwest of Yokohama. She and IS Australian nurses were freed from the camp. Loss of weight among the women av- eraged 35 pounds each.
 "The safety of Mrs. Jones was first made known the day before the announcement of her evacu- ation in a dispatchfrom Kodiak :"
 Mrs. Jones has many friends Tn Kodiak who have listened with interest to radio broadcasts that told of the discovery of her safe in the camp.
 She and her husband taught at Old Harbor, south of this city on Kodiak island, before they went to Attu, and spent several days in Kodiak on their journey to that island.
 No dispatches have mention ed what became of the natives who were cn Attu.

Truman, Seeks Numerous Laws

Washington (Rl-Presldent Truman, in a 16,000-word mes- sage overshadowing all other capitol hill developments, asked Congress for power to deal with the emergency and suggested 8 long list of laws.
 The President asked Congress not to declare peace, as he sa,d the declaration would end many needed powers and create confu~ sion and chaos.
 He recommended an lmmedl- ate tax bill cutting some unspec- flied taxes in limited way foF next year; asked Congress to raise its own salaries to $20, 900 annually; to increase federal workers pay and lift the "obso- l.te" 40 cents an hour minimum wage for workers in general.
 He also recommended iHcreas- ed unemployment payments, passage of a full employment bill. a continuance of the drafS and single administrator for all surplus property; a federal ageR- cy to do scientific research; ask ed for retention of public employ ment services at least to June 30, l947; for a big public works pro gram; for support for farm prices; help for small business and hons- ing stimulation; more money for foreign relief and repeal of the Johnson act forbidding private loans to countries that haven't paid their debts.

Kindergarten Has Room For More

Kindergarten will be offered a. gain this year to all children who will be five years old by Febru- ary lSt. The class is housed in the basement of the Community Baptist church and the hours are frcm goo to II 30 am and from l to 3 pm.
 Children of the community who are enrolled profit greatly by 8 year of kindergarten train ing, stated Mrs. Bertha Pratt. the teacher in charge, for it offers the little folks a happy year of working, learning, playing, and sharing with others.
 While the type of work offered is much less formal than Is found in the regular school work, it has real educational value, and 1t provides splendid preparation for the first grade. Experience has shown that the girl or boy 'w'lo has had year of kindergar- ten framing rarely has to repeat the first or second grade.
 Parents who have children of kindergarten age that have not yet enrolled them are urged to contact Mrs. Pratt for further information.

asked you what time II was? Still many q man
has seen n girl he would like to have known but
was unable to make a connection without violating
the rules Of gentlemanly conduct; TO say nothing
OF the possibility Of being regarded as flirt and
an annoyer OF unescoried females. For example.
a highly respectable. young gentleman sees an
extremely attractive girl sitting opposite him In a
street car or q bus. The girl may like his looks
too. But neither wants 10 make the first move
toward an acquaintance for fear Of being
misunderstood So the girl gets off the bus and
goes out OF the young mans life forever. Had
they met they might have fallen In love. raised q
family and lived happy ever after. We would like
to find the solution Of such situations but al Ws
can think Of now Is to have hostesses on street
cars and buses They would act as gobetween
for any passengers who might like to know each
other.

TALL AND SHORT
Short men arc usually great admirers Of tall
girls Also when most tall girls fall in love they
are not entirely guided by the height Of the man.
SO IL happens there Is state OF mutual love
between quite q few short men and tall girls.
However. both parties concerned are usually
somewhat worried about the difference In height.
The tall young women particularly sensitive
on this point. In the past ten years much has
been accomplished in the matter OF increasing the
height OF short men insofar rs appearance Ia
concerned Something has also been accomplished
in actually increasing height about one Inch.
Therefore. II man is three inches shorter than
his sweetheart there Is still some hope that he
might actually be made TO appear taller than she
IS This can be accomplished by height building
shoes, Speclal stretching eAeTelses Aho AloIhH
which gives a short man the appearance oil being
taller And of course II the young woman In
question will co operate she can wear flat heeled
shoes
