So long as the Salvation Army is in the field the public may feel certain that there is an unceasing fight for hungry and shelterless bodies with human souls in them. This uniformed army of salvation— seeking to keep souls and bodies together for un- numbered thousands throughout the world and for hundreds here in Alaska—must somehow, somewhere find food and shelter and clothing which are its muni- tions for war upon want and disease. It is in a time of economic readjustment like the present that the great worth of the Salvation Army stands out. The men and women workers of the Army do not pass by on the other side of the street when there is someone within sight who needs a helping hand. The Salvation Army is not merely preaching the possibility of a “better and brighter world,” but is putting a good deal of energy into the making of it. This year’s appeal, Capt. Stanley Jackson of the local post emphasizes, is not being made upon the magnificent history of the Army's past, its work dur- !ing the war, or its work of social uplift in the days | gone by, but for the same Army, the same service and . the same spirit that is laboring at our own door in Juneau today—and every day The Salvation Army in Alaska, as in the other 91 countries and colonies in° which the Army carries on its operations, stands as a friend to all, irrespective | of creed, color, race or station in life. It stands ready to stretch out a hand to restore, befriend and counsel all who stand in need. Because of the very nature of ! the work much publicity cannot be given it, but it is ! going on around us constantly. y 1f everyone who can will help, the quota will be raised in a very short time and will permit the Army to proceed with its good work. Here is a case where he who gives quickly gives doubly. i e At , s Entered in the Post Office in Juneau as Second Class Matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

The ruling aspect should be soothing and uplifting, encourag- ing to churches and congregations. In the home, temptation to criti- clze should be overcome. There is a sign disturbing to domesti¢c har- mony through argument. There is a sign most helpful to | those engaged in intellectual pur- suits. Members of the learned pro- fessions should benefit through the year. There will be a demand for trained leadership. Clear thinking should be culti- vated persistently, since there will | be misinformation and deception | regarding public issues as well as | international relations. Insidious ! propaganda will flood readers. | The evening is an auspicious time | for first meetings of young folk :Glrls will be able to make good im- | pressions upon young men, especi- !ally if there is a suggestion of fem- | inine intellectuality. { There will be strong effort to | teach trades to young men and | young women in colleges and uni- | versities. The seers advise of the I necessity to train hands along with the mind. | Astrologers remind the public that earthquakes in South America “of extraordinary violence, entailing loss of life,” were frequently predicted last year. This year also, temblors may be frequent. For Russia there is foretold the possible collapse of the Stalin re- | gime. Revolutionary influences will | work - continuously and desperately |in the Soviet government. Unrest and discontent will dis- turb the people of many natior but astrologers advise the contem- plation of war horrors and their aftermath as a method of regaining patience. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of pleasant experiences and average good for- | tune. Love of home and family will bring contentment. Children born on this day prob- |ably will be retiring and sensitive but studious and successful. These | Pisces subjects are on the cusp and | may have strong Aries characteris- tics. MONDAY, MARCH 20, 1939 Benefic aspects appear to domin- ate strongly today, according to as- trology. It is a date for launching new projects. Labor is subject to a sign making for compromises and agreements | that presage great aid for industry. Cooperation from financiers with| employers and employees is fore- cast. 7 | ‘Women are fairly fortunate under | | this configuration, but will be wise to curb ambition where high posi- tions and large salaries are sought. As subordinates to men in the pro- fessions and business they will be lucky. | The stars promise great profits to merchants and manufacturers. Much buying is indicated in . the United States, with a year of un- ruffled prosperity. The evening is an auspicious time for government leaders to make public speeches. The planetary in- ity. Precious metals will be subjects of special interest in the coming | | summer, when gold will be mined in large quantities in the United States. The West will have an in-| flux of miners, but science will in-! troduce new methods of weorking | claims. This is a lucky day for summer wardrobe shopping. Sewing is under good direction of the stars. Garden clubs will entertain distinguished foreigners as guests. Persons whose birthdate it is have | the augury of a year that may be more or less perplexing in its prob-, lems. Many will inherit money as a surprise. Children born on this day prob-| ably will be intelligent in a high decree, intuitive and imaginative. Many subjects of this sign of Pisces | partake of Aries traits. Poets be- long to this cusp of the two signs. (Copyright, 1939) - — i | John S.
