WHY NOT CALL orr WAR

Brother Branch seems 10 me
moaning over the fact that a
IA ball player isn't automati-
cally deferred TO play baseball.
He seems To be quietly lndig
nant TO think that able-bodicd,
healthy ball players might be
asked TO fight for their country
or at least work in a war plant.
What | think should be done
Immediately is TO call Oft the
war until after the baseball
season This would enable all
the ball players 10 get back
IN baseball. and after that they
could 80 back into defense

happy about the whole thing
When you come 10 think Of
il, the government has some
nerve interfering with the
baseball season in any way Just
because there is a war on Base
ball should move in on Wash

down there a good piece OF It's

USE THE BUNS
The draft boards are oycrdo-
ing 1t when they insist that
able bodied ball players Shnul-

and not be expected TO work IN

Roosevelt's Fourth Inauguration at White
House to Set Precedent i'm Simplicity

ON JANUARY 20, the White
~ House will be the scene of the
fourth inauguration of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt. Not since
1877, when Rutherford B. Hayes, fol-
lowing his challenged election, held
the inauguration in the White House,
has the oath of office for President
been taken in the Executive Man
sion.
In simple and inexpensive cere-
mony to be held on the south portico
of the White House. without the ira
ditional Pennsylvania avenue pa
rade, lacking in decorations and Gel
ebration, and with only a few off
Gals, relatives and friends present,
Franklin D. Roosevelt will take the
oath of office.
The scene will differ greatly from
the first inauguration of a U. S.
President. Washington was escort
ed to the Federal building by vari-
Gus military units, with blue uni
forms and gold-lace ornaments. One
company, dressed as Scotch High

TO DEVELOP ALASKA

The Smaller War Plants Corporation issued a report recently showing the method in which the veterans of this war can get started in some business venture In Alaska even though some of the Gov- ernment agencies are not ready with their planning.
 The conclusion arrived at from the preliminary study of conditions in Alas ka is that small business enterprises are almost the only immediate feasible pro- ject for returning veterans
 Some of our returning veterans will wish to do their own thinking and make their own plans; others will naturally fall into some already established jobs according to the training received in the service.
 Until now Alaska's economy has been based on the extraction or depletion process. The mining, fishing, lumber, and fur industries have accounted for the greater part of the income for Alaska.
 Although many parts of Alaska have been developed before the war greater development is yet to follow in the foot steps of better transportation.
