D. Cochran as Presi- | dent of the Senate for this session should, we are sure, please all concerned. It is traditional, we know, for the senior mem- ber in term of service who has not served as Presi- derit-‘before to almost automatically take over the gavel. But Judge Cochran has more than that to recommend him. Even if the new President of the upper house was a Republican, we are sure we would trust him with the gavel. Cochran. first began the biennial | trek to the capital in 1921, when he served in the| House. - And when a legislator keeps coming back as often as Cochran, you can be pretty sure that| he’s the kind of man we want to represent us. The | Second Division, where he is a prominent and able attorney, is proud of Judge Cochran, and so is Ju- nead, and all of Alaska. The Representatives' selection of Jim Davis as Speaker over Leo Rogge was a tough one. Both are well-known for their sincerity and ability as repre- sentatives of the people of Alaska. Naturally, Juneauites are proud of the honor which Davis has THURSDAY JANUARY 28 |943 | The choice was difficult, however. Both Davis land Rogge are now serving their fourth consecutive session in the House. Both have made excelient records. Davis last term served as chairman of the |Committee on Fisheries, Fish, Game and Agriculture jand was a member of the Rules Committee, the ICummnbee on Judiciary and Federal Relations, the |Committee on Transportation, Commerce and Navigation. Likewise, Rogge was chairman of the Commit- tee on Territorial Institutions and was a member of four other committees. Constructive War Work (New York Times) War is destructive. We think in terms of de- struction when we plan and build tanks, planes and ships. We mobilize our resources to lay waste. But while our war industries primarily are concerned with the present, fortunately not all our material war efforts are wasted. Indirectly, some ground- work is laid for the future. Technical processes will gain in many respects. Mechanical procedures {will improve. Pure secience will benefit by the war !as mean$ and appropriations are available to experi- ment. Experience and knowledge thus obtained will 'break down the barriers between pure and applied | seience. Some great industrial projects, prompted by war necessities, will long outlast the war and in years to come will prove beneficial for peacetime purposes. The Alaska Highway, for instance. It had been junder official study for twelve years when the Canadian-American Joint Defense Board stepped in and completed the survey in less than two years. Built as a war measure in seven months, the road will be of economic importance later. In the Near East the Haifa-Tripoli railway, which connects the Cairo-Palestine line with the Turkish railroad. sys- tem, recently has been opened. It was built by en- gineers and mining experts from Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. Native workmen were em- ployed. In peacetime it might have taken years for an international commission to conduct the pre- liminary negotiations. The Burma Road was com- pleted under war pressure in eight months, and formed a new link between China and the outside world., 9 Here on our own shores the American Telephone and Telegraph Company has opened its new trans- continental cable from New York to San Francisco. ‘The company decided on the project in 1939 as a war |precaution. It will continue to be a guarantee ngainst meteorological interference in peacetime. The world's longest petroleum pipeline, from Texas to North Carolina, is a result of the war emergency. Hereafter it will supply the East Coast regardless of shipping conditions. Not all is wasted where part of the earth is scorched. Through dark clouds there looms hope for the future. And more than a scrap already has been salvaged for the benefit of the human race. brought to the Gastineau Channel city by proving himself q\muhed to take over the xnval in the House.

Smith Ida Loomis gl gt i HOROSCOPE “The stars incline but do not compel” R s ] Friday, January 29 Adverse planetary aspects are ac- tive today. Criticism of persons ex- ercising authority may be general under this configuration. In war| times “a little knowledge is a dan-| gerous thing.” HEART AND HOME: Parents| may notice increase of independ- ence on the part of girls employed in men’s work for the war. The) stars presage changes in the out- lcok which will be salutary after| first extremes are overcome. Older | women must aceept strange human relations. As many social shackles are loosed, the seers foretell that| spiritual forces will guide those| liberated from outgrown conven-, tions. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The Sat-| urn-Uranus conjunction will affect business in many ways, it is fore-| told. The influence of Uranus is revolutionary and will be seen in many changes affecting the finan- cial system of the world. The United States will dominate in postwar re- adjustments and this is the time. when American bankers should pre-/ pare carefully for changed com- mercial conditions, astrologers warn. | | Great responsibility will rest upon ‘his nation which must live up to its loftiest ideals. NATIONAL ISSUES: Internal itrife over differing points of view regarding war service is presaged 7y the stars. Increased hours of work and infiltration of women in de-| fense industries will cause dissatis-| ‘action among persons who think selfishly anld fail to realize their ~igh duty to the nation. Unrest pro- vides ald to fifth columnists who, will redouble efforts this year when the need of inciting disloyalty will! oe emphasized by United Nations victories. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Again the stars presage mourning here and in Britain for the loss; of leaders, statesmen and officers in all branches of the service. The stars warn of much sorrow which | {will be assuaged by the growmg‘ ense of the high attainments of ! those who were sacrificed in sav-, ing civilization. Government exe- cutives should safeguard their; health, for the need of rest will be! evident among those who bear heavy responsibilities.

Scott C. Bone. The | Governor was an honored guest at the dinner and made the principal |talk of the evening. From 400 to 500 were present at ¢he occasion, in- ‘cluding 200 editors of large and small towns throughout the State. A term of the U. S.

Is it obligatory that refreshments of some kind be furnished after a wedding rehearsal? A. It is a nice thing to do. The refreshments are usually served after the rehearsal at the home of the bride, or the groom invites the little party of attendants to some eating place. Q. Isn't it bad manners to let one’s mind wander while someone is | talking with you? A. Yes.
