Alaska Newspapers, 1011 machine. Tt is doubtful, howeVer, if these citizens realize just how-essential the vital material is. It would be impossible for the United States to win the war unless our military forces have an ample supply of rubber. If rubber is lacking, our planes can't fly, our tanks can't move, our field guns | can’t operate, our warships can't function. Just how much rubber do we have available to-| day? Official estimates place that amount at not| |enough. 'But adding to the available supply what | we shall eventually make in our new factories, these officials tell us that “there is about enough to en- ,able us to complete our great armament program.” Americans shouldn’'t be fooled by this rubber business.

The stars smile upon military movements, but i there is a warning omen for the; Navy. HEART AND HOME: As a pub-| lic service care of the health and avoidance of accidents becomes im- | perative now. The Government has |emphasized the duty of raising the national health level. Newspapers and radio programs have warned that in times of national emer-| gency it is unpatriotic to add to the burdens borne by physicians or the crowded condition of = hospi- tals. Lack of medicines is fore- seen. There are fewer nurses than | are required at this time. House- keepers will contribute much by providing wholesome food and by watching minor illnesses that de- velop in the family. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: who have lost positions because of war changes in shops and factories | will find reasonable profits in small | mercantile ventures in ‘centers of industry. Astrologers warn that nothing should be started when Saturn affects the promising Jun-‘ iter aspect. American resourceful- ness will be widely demonstrated in the coming summer when novel enterprises will flourish. Colleges | {will contribute many highly trained technicians who will become em- ployees of the great industries. NATIONAL ISSUES: Again the simple life will become fashionable. Cooking classes will absorb the at- tention of thousands of women who realize that scientific menus in Ar- my camps will develop experts in the appraisal of home meals. Plant- | ing of vegetables in many flower gardens will prove educational ev- | en though marked economies will not result. The seers point out that through war restrictions the, luxurious scale of American Jivm;; will be lowered to a level that is| healthful and devoid of extrava- gance.

Through this year there will be reverses for the} !Allles but they are minor when 6om feéd with actual progress to- ward victory. For 1942 should prove that victory for the democracies is inevitable.
