HOME FRONT JOBS

bit in this 173rd week of the war:
keep your car in shape. Lubrcate it frequently;
check tires and parts regularly; drive slowly. Remem-
ber; your must last until vctory-and then some.
Continue to kitchen fats. The two red
points per pound you get more important to you
than ever, and every teaspoonful of waste fat is still
needed

Four million workers. including 100000 youths and
100000 women, needed to meet this years wartime
food production goals.
Protect and care for all home front machinery
and appliances. Replacement of parts rusted or made
useless through neglect diversion of equipment
from the battlefronts.
Save waste paper-it is a vital war need.

time to help this great humanitarian organization reach

ganizations to its views, seeking only
to CONTROL them and SPEAK for
them and ACT in their name.
THAT is why so much communistic
l. enterprise is carried on in the
name of American labor, and of
American education, and of Amerl-
can government and even of Ameri-
can business, industry and finance
when actually these vital fields OF
American enterprise are not commu-
nistic at all, and the vast majority of
the people affiliated with organiza-
tions in those fields are not commu-
nistic.
The spread of totalitarianism in
the United States and the great
danger posed by it, as Mr.. Woll says,
is in "the gullibility Uith r0hich some
respectable sections OF the comnu-
nifty hdUe accepted the brand OF
political and economic eyetOash sold
by the American Communist"
american communism can thrive
best in totdlitarian atmosphere,
he said in his New York speech.
"EUery noUe to concentrate
greater poDer in the hands OF goU-
ernn,ent meets Uith chorus OF
American Communist approval, and
since it is generally agreed that big
government is the enemy of eco
nomic DoluntariSn or free enterprise,
and since communism in America TO-
day is completely behind the grotO-
ing tendency toWard total control
oUer the nations industrial enter
prise, those in business Who soft
pedal communism are, in effect,
DIGGING THEIR OWN GRAVES"
MIR. WOLL has effectively and
AA courageously and honestly
raised the storm warnings against
the COMMUNIST DISASTER that
impends in America.
But the American people have
never been without honest and ade
quate warning of this disaster, which
accounts for the IMMINENCE of
the disaster.
1t is not enough for America to
hear such a voice as Mr.. Woli has
raised, but it must be HEEDED and
acted upon unless as he says we are
to "fnd ourselves with military vic
tory on our hands but unwittingly
encumbered BY THE ENEMY'S
SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY"

MIR. MATTHEW WOLL, vice
4'A president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, gave the Rotary
Club of New York City and all
thoughtful Notwithstanding to
ponder over when he spoke of the
growing trend in the United States
toward ~ totafitarianism in small but
influential groups. .
Not only in labor unions, in which
the COMMUNIST brand of totali
tarianism has conducted it's most
active and successful campaigns of
infltration, is this trend evident, said
Mr.. Woll.
Church organizations and cul-
tural bodies haze adopted the eUer-

Fred Henton, former Kodiak resident, whose home IS now in Seward, stopped in Juneau re- gently on his way to the States. When he walked into the Gold Room of the Baranof hotel in Juneau, according to the Alaska Weekly, he faced a picture done in oils on l6 square feet of wall which had been taken of him 30 years ago and forgotten.
 The painting was done by Eustace P. Ziegler and showed men with two horses pulling 8 boat up an icy torrent, and a man on horseback leading the way on into the mountains.
 The picture was taken in 1913

The copies ot the Kodiak Mir TOT on sale last week at Bert's Drug store had a strange looking advertisement on page ?.
 At the bottom of the ad 1t said "Bert's Drug Store" and above it was a simple line "The above advertisement printed in white ink" k"-and above that was a white blank.
 For the benefit of those who bought their papers at Bert's, the white ink business was a gag pulled on George Williams, man. ager of Bert's. Every time he writes copy for the stores ad George always and invariably puts a note on it Please use lots of black ink so 1t can be seen" or something similar in the same veln.

 Hard-hitting Bruce Woodcock, who had knocked out Is of his 1o professional opponents, made the jump to fame last night by stopping Champion Jack London in the sixth round of their 15-round title bout.
 The new titleholder immediately was hailed by London's fight ex- perts as Britain's best prospect for world championship match since Tommy Farr. His manager, Tom Hurit, hopefully awaited offers from the United States.

 The long -striding haberdashery salesman came pretty close to doing it yesterday when he was clocked in the record-shattering time of 4:014, in bettering the old stand ard set by his rival countryman, Arne Anderson, on July l, 1943.
 The old recognized mark of 4:02.6 also was beaten by Anderson, in the first meeting of the two this season. The Gunder had plenty left in him after the race. He said the four minute mile no longer was a problem.

BUSY YEAR
 FOR 5T0Rk
 AFTER WAR
By WILLIAM J. CONWAY

CHICAGO = A bumper crop of babies is expected in the early post war period.
 The Hospital Service Plan Con- mission figures that in the first full year of peace births in the U. s. will increase by five to ten per cent over the number registered in the final year of the war.
 Just how many infants that will be is a question that can't be answered definitely. But there are basis for calculation. Tn 1944 blessed events totaled 2,8O0,000. If the maternity graph remains at that level until the fighting ceases, and if the predicted rise develops the following year, the stork will deliver 2,94O,000 to 3,080,00O children
 Either would represent record, exceeding the 2,935,171 reported in 1943. But there's another factor to consider. The rate of births per 1000 population, after ascending to a ten-year high of g in 1943, dip ped to 1l in 1944, and may decline further this year.
 pr. c. Rufus Rorem, director of the commission (who comments as an economist rather than a statis- tician says:
 Returning soldiers will reunite and create families. There are in creases in births at the beginning of hostilities as the marriage rate
