How hard it is to think of London, formerly a | far-seeni city of light, as a kingdom of darkness. Be- hind their shaded windows the people have sat night after night, waiting for the siren. In September and | October, 1940, almost 13,500 persons were killed. One night in late Decembet the Germans dropped 100,- 000 fire bombs. It seemed as if fire was almost ev- |erywhere. The fire service, the auxiliaries, fire spot- |ters, fire parties and anti-aircraft gunners beat the | Luftwaffe. Many stately and veneable buildings, for generations part of the furniture of civilized minds, have fallen before the new savages. Thousands of pri- | vate houses have been demolished.

Juneau has been asked to contribute $2,022 in the drive. This amount may seem large. But it isn’t large when compared to the good the USO is doing for the Juneau men in the service in oher parts of the na- tion. And it isn't large, either, compared to the $4,- 500,000 qucta set for a city such as New York. The USO has done all, and more than it guaran- teed it would do.

Here U. S. lamrl-based vlanes made | mincemeat of the Japanese fleet But also U. S. warships could not pursue the Japs anywhere near the Japanese mandated islands, be- cause we could not risk attack by Japanese land-based planes. In other words, land-based planes are the key to this war, especially in the Pacific. For at present the Pacific war is deadlocked until we can get land bases near Japan to bomb her, or she can get land bases near us. For the old idea of the American Navy steaming up to Yckohama and throwing shells into Japan proper is just as out- moded as the spear and armor of the Crusadés—unless we have land- based planes to protect the fleet. BED BUGS VS. PLANES The importance of China as a site for U. S. land-based planes against Japan has long been rec- ognized. Tragedy that so little has been done about it. We are waking up just as the Japs are about to take all the land bases China has. We are waking up so slowly that some U. S. Air Corps strategists are not willing to send planes to China even today, feeling that they aré more important elsé- where.

Weston — -t HOROSCOPE “The stars incline: but do not compel” ; THURSDAY, JUNE 18 Uncertain' planetary influences are forecast for today. Mercury is in benefic aspect and Venus strongly adverse. HEART AND HOME: While this configuration prevails women should avold risks of every sort. It 1s most unfortunate for love affairs since misunderstandings are eas- ily brought about. Girls will find| this a date more favorable for work than' for play. It is a lucky day for signing contracts and for writings of every sort. The war is to develop women novelists of un- usual literary attainment in inter- preting a new world to the. people who swrvive the war. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Govern-| ment will take over big business even more extensively than in re-| cents months, it is forecast. Instead | of encroachment there will be ab-| sorption of great industries neces-i’ sary to the prosecution of the | conflict. Absolute unity of effort 120 YEARS AGO %% sarins JUNE 17, 1922 Sergt. Alvin York, Tennessee mountaineer, whose exploits in the Argonne, where he captured single-handed a baftalion of German in- 'fanbry, brought hinx the title of “greatest hero of the World War” from Marshal Foch, was presented with the deed to his 400-acre farm. on Wolf River, Tennessee, with every penny paid. Preseptation was made by J. T. Wheeler, trustee for the York Fund. When York had re- ;turned to America in 1919, he refused all offers to appear on stage or in movies or commercialize what he termed “an act of God.” Upon his arrival in Tennessee, purchase a farm for him. Over $16,000 was raised to complete the purchase. P. R. Bradley, General Manager of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, was to leave Juneau on the Queen for Ketchikan to join Mrs. Bradley, their son Henry and their two daughters, who were on their way north. Mrs. Bradley and the children had spent the winter in | California and were to make their home in Juneau. Because of stormy weather, the Juneau Ferry and Navigation Com- pany had postponed the announced excursion to Taku Harbor and expected to make it the following week. Mrs. Venetia Pugh entered St. Ann's Hospital suffering with a severe cold. Juneau Camp Fire Girls had arrived in Sitka and left for their camp at Cedar Lodge, according to word received by U. S. Marshal George D. Beaumont from Deputy U. S. Marshal Stanley Thomas at Sitka. The girls spent their first night in Sitka in the Federal Building, but tents were up at camp and ready for the girls to take over. Mrs. Gunnar Blomgren returned to her home after spending a week in St Ann's Hospital receiving medical care. E. D. Calvin, Cadastral Engineer, was to leave on the Admiral Evans with a survey party of seven for Kodiak. In the party were E. H. Ryus, Lance Hendrickson, J. H. Sadlier, P. C. Jackson and Cal Curtis. Willlam M. Garster and Steve Vukovich, who had been in the Cold Bay district, were to join the party at Kodiak.

This planet entered the sign Leo in 1937 and will remain| in it until 1968. Leo is a fire| sign and the influence of Pluto in, the sign is believed to encourage | political upheevals and. shifts of; power. Italy, France and Japan| are all under Leo. The three coun- | tries will meet the sort of fate which makes them memories so far | as their former greatness is con- | cernied. Mussolini is to suffer phy- sical collapse and political elimin-| ation. These evil portents give new cdurage and enthusiasm to support- €érs of ‘the United Nations. INTERNATIONAL AFFALRS: Between 1942 and 1956 Neptu'ie will ! be in Libra, a sign encouraging agreements, contracts and partner- ships. During the fourteen years plans for universal equality and; fraternity will develep, astrologers foretell. A new world parliament or court is prognosticated. Fron- tiers will disappear, so will trade barriers. When Jupiter comes to conjunction wth Neptune in 1945, world organization will be advocat- ed. While men fight other men will plan peace conditions. Persons whose birthdate it is haye the augury of a year of fair for- tunes.
