SITKA, Alaska, June 13-Sitkans have become acclimatized to this unprecedented daily sunshine. Even IOldtimers are reconciled to the lack of rain and are thoroughly enjoy ing the warmth and sun even while predicting that it can't last another week and that we'll pay for it dur ing the rest of the summer and fall.
 Almost everyone is suffering from sunburn-especially the children who have teen swimming at the Bun kers daily. Many sunburns have been so severe as to need medical atten- ton. y
 Most popular form of entertain ment has become picnics and beach suppers. Even at home, most meals are eaten outdoors.
 Maybe it can't last all summer but afterall, why not? We've had plenty of summers of almost daily rain Why not one of almost daily sunshine?

Commission and secretary of the
National Boxing Association, today
conceded George Sonny" Horne an
excellent chance of upsetting World
Middleweight Champion Rocky Gra-

Horne flew into Washington from
New York last night and opened
public workouts at Liberty Athletic
Clubs gymnasium today at 2 pm.
Col. Miller emphasizes that Horne
has been one of the busiest middle
weights in the country during the
past two years, while Rocky has
seen relatively little action. He also
believes that confidence gained in
his losing fight with Graziano on
Jan. Is, 1946, will prove beneficial
