MONDAY, JUNE 17 Benefic aspects are active today after the early hours. The rule is favorable to constructive work and especially fortunate for organizing. There is a promising sign for con- tracts made under this configura- tion. Heart and Home: The stars smile upon the young today which is lucky for students. Graduates from schools and college now should come under influences that presage success in social - service and lni novel vocations. Women are fairly | well directed where household tasks are involved. There should be mucn attention given to the conservation of food. The wise will store their cupboards generously for coming months. Caution in taking on new responsibilities is given by the seers| who foretell hasty romances and| marriages. Business Affairs: Harbors on both coasts of the United States will| command national attention as new problems develop affecting com- merce. Foreign ships will find safe havens, but will face economic dif- ficulties as home ports continue to be inaccessible. Trade east and west should be good. Hotels and restaurants will profit through the summer when there will be much travel. National Issues: Peace advocates will arouse opposition as subversive influences work secretly to prevent the United States from entering| the war. Danger from organizations inspiring radical views will increase this month. Sensational occurrences are forecast. A prominent woman will become involved in a sinister plot to enlist writers in a move- ment of political aims. International Affairs: Venus cul- wminating at Capetown is fortunate lor douth Ainca.

(Copyright, 1940) B b Clipper Folk Eat Well And Palrioli(ally Alaskans are used to airplanes, and there isn't a great deal that's exciting about even a giant Alas- ka Clipper, but there's an old sour- dough saying that when you're talk- ing food, any Alaskan is interested, and any Alaskan would be inter- ested in PAA's big Alaska Clipper and Steward H. La Porte’s excellent cuisine. Yesterday noon, La Porte and his! assistant, who have had five years of air stewardship on the Hong Kong run out of San Francisco threw together a meal at two thousand feet over international waters while the ship logged along smoothly at 150 miles an hour. A martini was served first, fol- lowed by a crisp combination lettuce and tomato salad which was in turn followed by chicken a la king and coffee. To top it off, and to celebrate Flag Day, Chief Steward La Porte served ice cream in the shape of a clipper ship topped with the Stars and Stripes. And any time you want a snack, coffee and sandwiches, La Porte says “Right away, sir.” That's a far cry from dog teams and sailing vessels. —————— NOTICE TO SCOTTISH RITE MASONS: Regular meeting Friday evening, 7:30.
