JUNEAL With more and more evidence pointing tow an extensive airport development program for Alas ka in the not too distant future the matter of ap- propriate sites becomes paramount with Alaska communities, particularly so in Juneau where one pri- vate field and Gastineau Channel serves as the city's only means of accommodating air traffic. The problem here becomes suddenly acute the opening of a customs office at Atlin, B. C. ing that city a port of entry, an action long sought | by business interests both in Canada and on this side of the line. Juneau can become the trade cen- ter for a vast area in the Atlin district with proper | facilities for aid transportation. One company now | stand€ ready to operate over the route, but is con- fronted with the blunt fact that there isn’t an air- port or a landing field in Juneau or near from which it can operate with wheel-equipped planes. Effort is being made by the Chamber ef Commerce to get use of the army bomber site north of town which has been the Signal Corps. It may be hoped that Army permission will be obtained through Delegate Dimond making it available. As the Chamber has pointed out there does not appear | to be any sound reason why the site should not be turned over for an airport as there is plenty of with | mak- | reserved by other space available for the tower construction planned by the Signal Corps. But whatever the outcome of the present appeal,’ the fact remains that Juneau, the largest city in Al- aska, is without a landing field for general use, aside from the private one, and in view of the anticipated air field program it is h time we did something about it. Almost every village up through the Interior and to the Westward has some sort of a field where WEEKLY ZOMMENTS Garnick THE MAY 2 FRIENDLY STORE May B THE TACTFUL WAITER A crowd of the elite were din- ing in a smart restaurant when a custemer entered, sat down, coughed loud and tied his napkin around neck. In great embarrassment, the manager called a waiter to him and whis- ered, “Try to make him under- stand as tactully as possible that that's not being done.” The waiter approached the of- fending diner, leaned suavely over his shoulder and said, “Shave or haircut, sir?” 6—0—o0 AN OWL, OF COURSE Englishman: “What's that bloomin’ noise I 'ear outside this time of night EG American: Why, that's an owl” Englishman: “Of course it BNt o Cewling In tall glass o—0—o chicken in OVER THE TOP | “So this is your daughter’s | coming-cut party, is it?” a friend said to the debmtante’s father. “Yes,” replied the old man, “and if I hadn't given strict orders to her dressmaker, she'd be cut even further than she is.” FIG BARS With real Fig Filling LARGE PKG. 25¢ 5 POLU (try it—you | (New York Sun.)

True, as Dr. Gruening said the other Yay in Nome, the present airports on the whole are entirely inadequate and should be improved, but at least other places in the Territory have something that resembles landing tields while Juneau can boast only of one, and that a pri- vate one which is not available for general air traffic The Chamber is to be commended for its action in attempting to get the Army site and should be given the assistance of every public-spirited citizen in the community, and the movement must be con- tinued until Juneau has some site for a municipal airport if we expect to share fully in.the air develop- ment program to come More than a grain of truth is contained in the article by A. E. Schoettler appearing in yesterday's Empire concerming the housing problem in Alaska As he pointed out, every city and town in the Territory is woefully lacking in proper housing ac- commodations. In many instances there are not enough houses and a large percentage of those we d Reason, of course, in the pas?‘ been the great of materials in the north. Transportation costs alwa have been and still are high, but the fact remains that if we ex- pect to get people to live permanently in Alaska modern houses in which they can live must be built. Mr. Schoettler covered it ably when he said: We need to build better homes, more com- fortable homes, homes insulated against the weather, homes with adequate heating and plumbing. They need not be large, ornate structures, but neat comfortable, and warm. We need to modernize existing homes. Why not a concerted program to rebuild Alaska towns to make living more comfortable in Alas o that the people of Alaska can lrulh- fully “We are here to LIVE in Alaska." have are not modern, has expense say, Mr. Zioncheck says he can represent Washing- State’s first district better than any one else Of course, it is purely a matter of the sort the Washington voters want. ton running. of representation The Republicans in Cleveland might do well to look over their man Couzens who won the Democratic endorsement in Michigan.

Benefic spects rule from early morning un- il the late hours of night. It is a 4ay promising alike for those who work and those who play. While this configuration prevails here should be an access of good feeling regarding men in import- ant public offices. The stars fa- vor those who lead by their intel- ‘ectual superiority and their force of character. Although there will be bitter po- litical contests, personal animosities are likely to be forgotten under this sway, for it soothes and harmon- izes all who use reason in weigh- ing motives. Recreation should be unusually helpful in restoring those who un- dergo physical or mental strain. This is an auspicious date for start- ing on pleasure trips. It is a lucky day for ocean sail- ings. Much travel abroad will dis- tinguish the summer months. Freaks of weather may be expected in many places. The summer is likely to be exceedingly warm. The Moon in good aspect to Mer- cury is read as denoting stronger sympathy with the President of the United States as the summer ad- vances. The masses will support him despite a stubborn and ruth- less campaign assailing his admin- istration, astrologers foretell. Violation of a treaty is prognos- ticated for early in the summer when Mars will be responsible for atrocities and bloodshed in far plac- es. Manufacturers who deal in steel and iron products are to be busy in this country. Speculation and gambling will be more prevalent than usual in the coming summer when persons in all ks of life will profit through games of chance as well as stock manipulations. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury o) a year of prosperity | | in which there will be many pleas- | ures in the shape of short trips and | meetings with interesting persons.
