Circus people are | intrepid performers and to their calling, but they have 1o illusions that the glamor of their spangles is good for any merchan- dise at the grocery store. Just the other day Hubert Castle, an Enid, Okla, boy who has be- | come one of the world’s leading | tightwire performers, spoke of his dream of acquiring a ranch down in Texas. “This,” he said, “is no business to grow old in. Too many once-fAmous ‘circus stars have died in poverty and obsetrity.

Due to the influence of th storm lochted about 600 miles sou‘h of Kodiak, a southeasterly flow of maritite air was causing som: precipitation along the immedi coast Of the Gulf of Alaska. Rair had fallen during the previous 94 tours from Southeast Alaska t> Kodiak and over the Tanana Val- fey, anid sow had fallen at Barrow. The greatest amount of precipi- tation was 40 hundredths of an inch which was reported at Cordovi Overcast skies, moderately high cellings and good visibilities prevailed over the Juneau-Ketchikan airway this morning. The Thursday morning weathe: chart indicated a center of low pressure of 29.80 inches located at 52 degrees north and 143 degress West. The storm frontal tsough etended from this center eastward and southeastwgrd to 50 degrees north and 135! degrees west, and thence southwestward into lower latitudes, and was expected to move about 600 miles northeastward during the next 24 hours. A second low center of 29.30 giches was located at about 50 degrees north and 180 degrees, and Was expected to move about 600 miles eastward dur- g the next 24 hours. A high pressure center of 30.26 inches was lo- cated at 39 degrees north and 139 degrees west, and a second high center of 3041 inches was located at 38 degrees morth and 167 de- Cloudy Cloudy Clear Clear Pt.

They'll quit next year, they think, and go into something else, somethifig 4 little more secure. But, not one in a hundred do. Something always happens, and there’s always tomorrow.
