HOROSCOPE “The stars incline but do not compel” e S ittt | WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11 | This is a fortunate day in labor | Approximately $5,000 worth of damages had been done in Juneau by the sudden cold and the Taku within a few days, it was estimated. This covered loss of windows, roofing and plumbing and the estimates were obtained from supply houses. It was believed that carpenter and other repair work necessitated by the storm would amount to several thousand dollars more. Mrs. Grover Winn entertained a number of children the previous day in honor of her daughter, Barbara's, sixth birthday. Games and a de- lightful lunch made the afternoon a gay affair. Those attending were Pauline Cartwright, Mary Casey, Phyllis Friend, Jacqueline Higgins, Mary, Barbara and Jean Simpkins, Margaret Clare, Virginia Davis, Nina Meyers, Wilma Afford, Mary VanderLeest, Frances Johnstan, Claire | Wernecke, Renee Guerin, Mary Jeanette Whittier, Sonny Gray, John Arthur Borges, Billy Friend, Chester Higgins, Ben Mullen, Scotty Ford, |Joe McLean, Billy Selfridge, Wayne Olson, Jimmy and Jack Pegues, fBi]ly Wwinn, and Duncan Robertson.
