In |an effort to create ramparts foreign-populated lareas, the plan, calling for complete elmination of ‘uncn elements, follows the usual Nazi pattern of {ruthless subjugation.

HEART AND HOME: Owing to unsettled domestic conditions many families may be anxious regarding the coming Winter. Changes of dwelling places will be so wide- spread that old friendship ties will| be broken and homesickness may be far-reaching.

Guy, Paul H. Abbott, James Ramsay, Willis E. Nowell, C. Beaty, H. F. Starr and G. Parmentier. Walter B. Heisel, of the U. S. Land Office, Figld Division, left Juneau on the Jefferson for Ketchikan on official business. He expected to return on the Admiral Watson October 7. . (AT e FRSBARE AT Y YV TN Plans were completed for a gay time at the Farmers’ Dance to be held in A. B. Hall the following night to raise funds for the recreation park and playground. While people were urged to wear overalls, aprons or old clothes appropriate for the occasion, there was no requirement to do so, according to Harry Sperling, Chairman of the committee in charge. Ticket sales were being handled by Mrs. H. F. Morton for the Eastern Star; ‘Miss Lois Nordling for the American Legion; Albert White for the high school boys and about town; Miss Irene Nelson and R. R. Brown who were to have tickets on hand at the meeting of the Parent- Teacher Association. Officials for the coming Territorial election were appointed at the meeting of the Douglas City Council the preceding evening. Those chosen were B. Gravrock, J. Simpson, Frank Bach, Mrs. George Hewitt, Mrs. James Christoe, A. J. Boone, Axel Kromquist, W. J. Grant, Mrs. R. Coughlin and Mrs, Gertrude Laughlin. Mr. and Mrs. Juliu§ Dennis, of Treadwell, were passengers for the South on the Jefferson and planned to make their home in California. The first bowling tournament of the season was to get underway the following week at Elks’ Club. Fifteen three-men teams were entered and were divided into three classes: A—made up of men with a total average of approximately 500; class B—with an average of 450, and class C—average 400. B. B. Nieding, General Superintendent of the Latouche and Kennecott mines, with headquarters at Kennecott, left on the Northwestern to return to the Westward after a trip to the States. Mrs. Nieding and their two {war is to bring about social influ- | children remained in Juneau to visit for a short time. Weather was rainy with a maximum temperature of 51 and a mini- mum of 38. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Merch ants should prepare for a good holi- | day trade. Inflation warnings will | not curb generous expenditures by ! wage earners. Christmas, which will have a special war significance, | will be observed with munificent | gifts. Expenditures by cities andi clubs will be unusually large. The | economic side of the war will be amazing, but indirectly all d.‘-sesi of businessmen and women will benefit. Adjustments to blackm:tl regulations will be possible, so that | many night-time recreations will ce profitable. | NATIONAL ISSUES: As schools and colleges settle down to routine | work, interest in education will be keen. Students will realize the value of their special talents as as- sets of the nation and will study | with extraordinary industry. Pro-! gress of the war will be watched ' with peculiar interest by the yomh‘l of the nation which is preparing for | public service.

There is a threaten- ing omen for the Navy. HEART AND HOME: Women should find this an auspicious date for seeking employment or promo- tion, for persons in authority should be helpful. Old persons are well directed. Their counsel should be sought, but the young may disre- gard wise advice. Industry is under fortunate influences which seem to presage elimination of antagonism to women in important positions in shops or factories. This is the time to prepare for a cold winter. Homes should be small and heating preb- lems should be simplified since fuel will be scarce in many parts of the country. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Financial exigencies in regard to war expenses are foreshadowed. Sudden and un- expected costs to the United States are prognosticated. The stock mar- ket may fluctuate sharply from day to day and the effect of large i) vestments in Government bonds will be felt. Prosperity through agri- culture and mining is forecast. Abundance for the fortunate resi- dents of the United States is prog- nosticated and magnificent supplies for starving Europe are presag | NATIONAL ISSUES: With the fall elections near there will be ex- traordinarily bitter campaign speeches and lack of attention to. war dangers. In Congress many. members will oppose Admh!snifl(m policies and their states will return them to House and Senate, it is foretold.
