* < COMMUNICATION

* Editor Wrangell Sentinel Dear Sir.
 To correct an impression that seems somehow to be current, let me state the difference between the Seyenth-Day Adventist church and the W.C.T.U.
 The latter is composed of women from all denominations banded to- gether for the uplift of fellow hu- man beings. and is a national or ganization devoted to their cause.
 The Seventh Day A d ven i s [ church is not affiliated with them in any way, being committed to the proclamation of the everlasting Gospel to all the world in this generation.
 Though the doors of the church have been open to the W.C.T.U. for lack of other suitable meeting place. still the two are as distinct in their respective fields as day and night are distinct.

TIRE SHORTAGE CRITICAL
 ON WESTERN FRONT NOW

4 memorandum received at The. local rationing board from Helene. G. Johnson. territorial rationiug executive, points up the serious shortage of tires on the western front It reads:
 The following is a copy of a bull fetin received here today. It is good for all of us to read f. When we wonder why our quota is reduced and when there are still men in Al- aska who say as one young man did here a few days ago when he was refused because he was using his car for pleasure, What good Is car if you cant get tires for it?", 1t is time We are told the truth more forcibly than ever be- fore. My bulletin reads:
 Serious Tire Shortage, Dec. 1
 The American armies fighting along the German border face a se- rious tire shortage. Tire wear in that theatre of war has exceeded all precombat estimates.
 General Dwight Eisenhower's re- cent letter. addressed to every off cer and enlisted man in the thea ter said:
 To-day as our armies exert ever increased prrssure against the last defensive walls around the German Reich. the importance of bending every effort to hasten the day of victory in Europe is of personal concern to us all From the top to the bottom of our military struc- ture there is room for but one thought: To aid the war
 This is a war of supply equally as much as it is a war of tactics Furthermore. it is a war which consumes supplies at a terrific rate. While our factories at home pro- duce these supplies. it is up to us to use them wisely and conserve them where possible.
 "One item of surpasslng impor- tance is tires. Tire wear in this theatre has exceeded all precombat estimates. As a result we now are faced with a tire shortage which will unless drastic conservation steps are taken. tie up 10 percent of our vehicles by the first weeek of February.
 "The care and conservation of tires is based on a few simple rules. Observance of these rules is the clearcut function of the command. In addition, there must be k cen and eagerness on the part of every officer and soldier who rides in or operates a motor vehicle to protect that vehicles tires for future rides.
 T am not exaggerating when I say that the war will be needlessly . extended unless we extract every possible mile from our tires and use them only as we find it neces- sary to do so."
 Our armed forces are finding it. necessary to extract every possible mile from their tires. On the home from we must protect our present tires and make them last until a steady flow of goods is maintained for both the armed forces and es- sential transportation. Only byI prompt recapping and regular tire care can this be accomplished. AsI long as military demands continue, every tire in America must be care-I fully conserved!

Few armchair generals have been more successful in stirring up con- troYersy than SO-year-old Gen. Pey- ton c. March, Chief of Staff in World War. l. Gen. March celebrat ed his S0th birthday by telling re- porters it was "unthinkable" that the Nazis had been successful in massing 100000 men for the Bel gian offensive without army intel ligence (G-2, as it is known in of ficial parlance) being aware of it.
 This has raised the longtime question of whether G-2 is an out fit that operates with 12-Ounce gloves rather than bare fists in globaf war in which the enemy is throwing raw-meat hooks and pull ing no punches.
 It's a question that will have to be answered by history. G-2 has its defenders and it's critics, as the March interview very effectively brought out. Some of the former claim that the Nazi closed shop Gas a result of those thousands Of purges) has made it virtually im- possible to operate an effective es- pionage system within German-held borders. Others say field comman- ders place too much emphasis on battle strategy and not enough or pre-battle information.
 G-2 has always been very hush hush outfit, but I know of one significant story. A captain sta toned there, in the days before Germany started striking right and left and north and south, filed nu- merous written and verbal reports warning of Nazi military strength. About all the thanks he got was the behind the hand accusation from some of his colleagues that he was Predetermined and Nazi lover.
 It would be something worth marking down in the books if Gen. March's fortnight criticism should lead to a reorganization of G-2 or at least a greater consideration on the part of field generals of the information that is supplied them.
 The cardinal military sin is understanding the enemy. One of the primary objectives of any fighting force should be to guard against that sin. Maybe our high command on the western front did and maybe it didn't. Gen. March's interview is likely to bring out 2 hint of the truth much sooner thar it would have come out otherwise

ON THE WASHINGTON FRONT
By JAG. sTINNETT

WASHINGTON. D. c. - If, as somee speculate. outgoing Vice President Henry Agar Wallace should be given the job of his old sparring partner, Secretary of Com merce Jesse Jones, he will have a grand opportunity to endear him. self to the thousands of employees in the huge Department of Com merce building. He could do it by exterminating the cockroaches.
 Just why Commerce, which was built under the fondly watehful eye of then Secretary Herbert Hoover, and is so big that it has two troll ley stops practically on its front LOOT step, should be oyerrun with 0ockroaches is one of Westinghouse mysteries. But it is-and the work CTS there don't like it.
 The infestation has given rise to numerous tall stories. Bob Horton, eublic Relations Counsel for the .aritime Commission, which is in ne building, has one of the better Jnes.
 Horton is a pigeon feeder. He enjoys occupying spare moments .ith running to the window sill and dropping a few peanuts on the ledge.

The Young Idea

When we were 10 years old, we
went to the National Museum and
looked at the collection Of gowns In
the costume hall In the Arts and
Industries Building. Perhaps we're
not as grown up as we had supposed,
because when we made a return
trip, in the course of snooping for
treasures for children at the mu-
scum, we found the gowns as in
triguing as ever. Gowns of wives OF
Presidents and their immediate
families are on display, as well as
costumes and jewelry worn in our
country in its various periods. We
were particularly smitten with blue
voluminous velvet gown worn by
Sarah Van Buren,. daughter-in-law
of President Van Buren,, way back
in the late 1830s. We'd like to bet
little Susie will be equally smitter
by this and other gowns.

Dorothy Dix Says

One of the curious things about
marriage is that the law of the
attraction of opposites works before
marriage, but fails to function after
marriage, and that the very quail
ties that drew man and woman
together SO often drive them apart.
That is the sardonic little trick
that Mother Nature plays on hui
manity. For she is not concerned
with the happiness of the individual
She is interested only in keeping the
race on an even keel, and SO In
order that we may not all be giants
or pygmies, or morons or highbrows,
she makes big men fall in love with
little girls and the beautiful but
dumb maidens have an irresistible
charm for college professors. And
vice versa.
OF course, it may be good for our
own souls and for our offspring for
us to marry people who are our op-
posites instead of our likes, but it
does not make for peace and hap
piness in the household. For it
takes more strength of character
than many Of us possess to be able
to see our mates points of view and
concede them the right to their own
opinions, and to grant them any
personal liberty.
We all, for instance, think that a
thing is right or wrong according
to whether We like to do 1t or not.

Beauty Resolutions

Yesterday was the big day for
resolutions which some faithless
souls have already broken. There
are few resolutions which-if YOU
stick to them-will pay off dividends
in beauty. Winter being the beauty
breaker it is, there's no time like
the present to make beauty resolu-
tions. Old Man Winter is no fat
terer. Indeed, he's meanie who
brings oHt the worst, in any girl
His icy blNsts lash her delicate
petal-pipk skin until it is none of
those three adjectives. These howl
ing helpers also chap lips and
roughen lily-white hands. And what
the cold itself doesn't do, the steam
heat it necessitates finishes.
This is the time to resolve to
protect your tender skin against the
ravages of winter, to give it daily
beauty care to counteract the winds
and weather which are beauty's two
biggest bugaboos. Once you get in
the habit of few minutes nightly,
you won't even notice it. After all,
after you become accustomed to the
nightly ritual of brushing your teeth
around the age of S, you no longer
rebelled at the bother. AS far as
beauty's concerned (and at the risk
OF angering the District Dental So
clety) we must admit that your
skin contributes more to glamour
than your teeth-so don't begrudge
your epidermiS helping hand
when winters been raising havoc
with its appearance.
What your entire exterior needs
most OF all is richer cream-to
eounteract the drying effects of
steam heat and icy weather. There's
one cream, for example, rich
soothing emollient scientifically
blended, so they tell us, to overcome
the beauty ravages of winter. Right
noW-when you need it most, you
can buy it at half price, giving you
chance to try it inexpensively If
you've never tried it before. For
best results apply 1t in the profess
sional manner with upward and out
ward motions. Use 1t night and
iilOl iliiiS, lctIlilS JuSt SIillQRlN re-
main in the am to act as pro-
tective powder base.
For those of you who are con-
vinced that lanolin is the answer to
all skin problems land it DOES
answer many of themD there's a
brand-new night cream with plenty
Of lanolin in its composition. This
is night cream plus-and a dis
tinct addition to any dressing table
with its turquoise-topped glossy
white jar. There's another, bearing
famous name that's extra rich
and soothing, also designed to keep
your skin as velvety as baby's. Use
it generously on the face and neck
every day or every second day de-
pending on the dryness of your
particular dermis. Best of all, they
say you don't have to leave 1t on all
night to get results-that in half
an hours time you can tissue off
the excess and rest assured that
the creams put in its beauty work

Whether woman complains of
being a golf widow or whether she
can spend a pleasant hour discuss

self or not. Whether a woman con-
siders herself neglected wife be-
cause her husband reads the papers
or book at night, instead of talk
ing to her all the evening, depends
upon whether she likes to read or
not. Whether man lambasts his
wife for gadding and raises ructions
over her buying a new dress de-
pends upon whether he likes to step
out of an evening and takes pride

So it all boils down to the secret
OF being happy though married is to
try to marry someone who shares
