That is the hurdle Alaska must jump before it can compete with the pulp in the the world. It is a stiff hurdle past years have demon- strated. Embargo has long been advocated against Canadian import in an effort to equalize the Ameri- can market. That or trade with Canada which would give Alaska an even break probably will ! have to come before the Territory can become a large paper-producing center.

(Cincinnati Enquirer) Most American cities are faced with the problem finding a cure for what real estate men aptly des- as “blight,” the progressive decay of neighbor- 4. fire 5. of cribe hoods. As neighberhoods begin to deteriorate, residents move outward from the city in search of more agree- able home sites. Part of the surrendered sections are claimed for commercial uses, the rest continues to slide down the of usefulness. As the process continues for years and decades, the residential sec- tions, particularly those of the higher class, become less and less accessible to the heart of the city. The spreading of public servicas over increasingly wide areas greatly raises their cost. City planning and zoning, which is young com- pared to city growth, represents the backbone of the effort to bring about orderly community development. Now thought is being given to a proposed means of supplementing city planning and zoning with a spe- cific remedy for the “blight” of nejghborhoods, by al- lowing neighborhoods to take the jnitiative toward {heir own improvement ot sci United States was nicknamed essus of Independence”? greater Does baseball or football draw largest attendance annually, in United States?

Gordox The National Association of Real Estate Boards representing those who have a financial interest at stake in wanting to find a cure for the “blight” which erodes the value of property in the affected areas, has drafted a proposed Neighborhood Improvement Act which, when enacted by a state, would permit the plan- ning of neighborhoods in connection with city plan- ning. The City Planning Commission would desig- nate what areas constitute neighborhoods. Sixty per cent of the property owners within a given neighbor- hood then would be empowered to propose zoning requirements and building restrictions which would be subject to review by the City Planning Commis- sion and would become the official zoning plan of the neighborhood upon approval by the City Council The idea, its propenents say, is to give to old neighborhoods powers similar to those which new sub- divisions now have. Naturally, it is an experiment, in which defects may appear upon actual application.

The planetary ~ government especially favors the clergy and all who en- gage in serious intellectual activi- ties. Educators now will be greatly en- couraged by the year’s echievements. Heads of universities will benefit and among them several will re- ceive great honors, it is forecast. Labor today should be favored by public approval in places Where previously strikes were condemned. There will be an unprecedented de-' mand for trained minds and trained | hands in the coming months. This is a day for constructive thinking. Conferences among states- men, religious meetings and church services are well directed by the tars. of aspects that mark the new era in man’'s experiences. This is a time to use all the wisdom that the ages have beqeauthed to civilization, they declare. During the coming summer de- sire for dents and loss of life in many plac- es. hunters will be more numerous than \ever before.

Children born on this day prob- ably will be dignified and thought- ful. Subjects of this sign usually are endowed with pleasing person- alities and many have financial foresight. Cutherine the Great, Empress of Russia, was born on this day 1729. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include William Camden, Eng! antiquarian, 1551; Jerome K. Jerome, writer, 1859. MONDAY, MAY 3, 1937 After the early morning hours, when the stars encourage enter- prise, adverse aspects dominate to- day, according to astrology. The planets encourage leadership, ccur- ageous planning and constructive activity. This is a rule of great power as it affects men and women who car Feavy responsibilities. These posi- tive characters will gain greatly in general admiration, although they will make enemies. Mars in its present place is sup- posed to send vibrations that fill men’s minds with thoughts of vio- lence. Thus riots, crimes and vice will be widespread, while war indi- cations increase. In the United States factories will rush work in warships and airplanes. Russia will be affected by military movements in the Orient.
