Sidney Absher
Flown To u. S.

Mitchell Field, N. Y, April 16
Pfc. Sidney Absher, SON of Mr.,
and Mrs. A. L. Absher, of Nathan's
Creek, has arrived here by army
transport plane from base hos
pital in England and has already
been flown on to another hospital
in the United States for further
treatment.
A veteran of the Battle of the
Bulge, where he fought with the
Ninth Army, young Absher is re-
cuperating from an illness and
expects to be well enough to have
a leave and visit home soon. He
is a graduate of the Nathan's
Creek high school but had been
working in Pittsburgh for the
bravo Corporation before his in
ductior in June of 1943.
Young Absher couldn't say
enough about the comfort of the
trip across the Atlantic on the
big transport plane or of the care
he had received in hospitals in
France and England. TT was
certainly good to see the USA as
our plane came in along the coast"
he said, "but what will look even
better to me is my first glimpse of
North Carolina!"

the high of living affects Territorial employees as much as those of the Federal government" and that view certainly is reasonable.
 What is the result? Since one mans wages is another mans cost of living the pressure will be on for 25 percent wage increases among wage earners other than those who work for the Federal Territorial governments
 However, in private business, profits limited both by taxation and price ceilings The governments profits are taxes Unhappy, there is ceiling on taxes.
 To meet salary increases, the government simply raises existing taxes or adds taxes.
 What does the businessman do? First of all, in order to keep his employees, he violates the War Labor Board regulations and often pays the fine Secondly, he attempts to get income with little success-he violates OPA ceilings if he get away with it and often pays fines there, too But it is either that get out of business.
 Already the pressure is being felt by private business in Alaska This pressure will be heightened if the Territorial employees receive 25 percent salary increase next month, and then when the non government worker puts the pressure for his 25 percent increase will have situation.

Estimates by the War Production Boards experts civilian require ments show that in the first three months of the just ended American women spent for street dresses something S28O 00O0O0 Men spent for wool suits s6S 900 and for shirts S108OO0O00 The two items of masculine wear, it will be seen, are only few million dollars short of the expenditures on womens street dresses.
 To be sure, there other considerations Men wear the same clothes the street and in the house. generally speaking But to the womens bill for street dressse we must add about 25 per cent for house dresses to the snug amount of $650000O0 And there is the very important problem of accessories. From
 faithful reading of the fashion notes and advertise ments we gather that the thing which really makes a well-dressed woman is her shoes, or her hats, or her gloves, depending on what the advertiser IS anxious to sell at that particular moment
 Nevertheless with all such allowances and deduc- tions it would still be true that the American man IS far from the sef-effacing creature of tradition who goes about in old clothes to keep his wife in fnery It will be news to most of us that the American male from the figures just quoted spends two dollars on his shirts every three dollars on his suits the giddV thing

HOW INITIATION CAME TO ALASKA

The Territorial Board of Budgets recommenda- tion to the coming session of the Territorial Legsla ture to raise salaries of all Territorial officers and employees by 25 percent recognizes the material increase in the cost of living in the Territory of Alaska
 One mans wages is another mans cost of living. However this not recognized by the Federal gov ernment and government contractors, first to send wages sky-high in Alaska.
 Little attempts to keep wages down to Alaska wage levels in the early days of the by government contractors recruiting workers for Alaskan projects. Then came the birth of the new Federal government war bureaus" and sky-high wages for class of Federal employees in Alaska. Naturally other Federal workers in the Territory were right in feeling that discrimination existed. Hence the policy of allowing all Federal employees in Alaska 25 percent dfferential those in the States

 Benefic aspects rule today which should be especially fortunate for women. There is a promising sign for places of entertainment.
 HEART AND HOME. Girls should find this lucky day for social projects. It is promising for romance and presages engagements and weddings. Under this con- figuration special care is enjoined to avoid deception. Nasty court ships may lead to early divorces.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Interna- tional banking will be much dis cussed in Washington as complex financial problems confront the United Nations Victories will be more costly as the winter advances. There will be need for serious self denial by civilians, for contribu- tions to human welfare in liberated nations will become obligatory.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: The seers point out that in juvenile delin- quency example is more persuasive than precept Boys and girls who are enthralled with night attrac- tions in cities are likely following their parents pattern of life.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: The stars seem to presage for Stalin growing power and a domi- nant part in all postwar European readjustments. Foresight and devo- tion to Soviet principles will prove fortunate when the Premier out lines Russia's s aims.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of success and advancement. Many opportunities will offer change and travel.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be brilliant in mind and clever in attaining ambitions. They will desire and seek to procure the best in life.
