H Extension |ury's borrowing TAKIN NTAGE Worthy of speedy action on the part of both houses of legislature is a bill introduced in the Sen- ate by O. D. Cochran, President of the Senate, - It | is an act which would prohibit exportation from the Territary by any person who is not a food producer or manufacturer of ‘any commodity which shall be deemed for the purpose of nullifying the rationing regulations now holding sway in the States Alaska has been fortuffate in. that rationing of food has not been extended to the Territory, where | in most areas, considerable hardship would result. |ake. considering But at the same time, a few have taken advan- tage of this situation and have shipped choice items which are being rationed in the States Outside to mémxs and relatives. If this bill becomes law, any person caught vie- lating it may be fined $1,000 as pumishment. That the amount of food shipped out of the Ter- ri't,px;y could really cause too much eommotion in ‘the States is doubtful. But when an Alaskan- ships ra- tioned food out to a friend or relative, he is en- dangering the recipient, who, if he or she doesn't déclare the food to the proper authorities upon re- ceipt, is' liable to fine and imprisonment.

[RE—JUNEAU ALASKA 20 YEARS AGO MARCH 17, 1923 Indications were that practically all canneries in Southeast Alaska were to operate during the coming season, according to Walter DeLong, Manager of the C. W. Young Company. Mr. DeLong, who was also inter- ested in-the canning business had conferred with the majority of oper- ators on a recent trip to the States. from THE EMPIRE One hundred and sevefity-seven citizens had registered to vote at the city election, April 3, by 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon. It was about the same number that had registered at the same time a year previously. Members of the Moose Lodge were entertained with a concert, basket John H. Walmer D e e OROSCOPE “The stars incline - but do not compel” | IR ) hursday, March 18 This is not an important day in planetary direction. It is fairly promising for merchandising. Plans made under this configuration may lead to success. HEART AND HOME: Under this direction of the stars women may exercise bad- judgment. Temptation to provide for the family table may be strong enough to .encourage sharp practices in marketing. In adhering strictly to Government regulations true patriotism will be} practiced. Patronage of black mar- kets should be shunned -even| shough the daily diet will be seem- ingly inadequate and endlessly mo- notonous, Through . the disciplines caused by war,. benefits are fore- cast. Many families will be able to discover how selfish they are and| avery member will have chances to develop nobility of character. NATIONAL ISSUES: Pursuit of pleasure which was a major inter-{ sst before the war will be less gen- 2ral as the weeks pass. With the| use of motor cars forbidden to joy| riders, home interests will gain in| importance, it is prognosticated. A- gain reading will become a national interest and information regarding world affairs will be eagerly sought i books and magazines. Teachers of philosophy and interpreters of veligious theories will attract wide attention. | INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Astrologers foretell great mass movements of humanity after the war. In the rebuilding of the ruins| of civilization the United States will | be the leading nation of the world.| One of the national tasks will be| to prevent immigration which would pour inte_the land’ of milk and honey. Victory of the United Nations is to bring supremel_fl ory | lo the United States which ®must be wary of diplomatic pitfalls. Persons whose birthdate it is have | the augury of a year of many bene- | fits. Prosperity, travel and literary interests are forecast. Children born on this day prob- ably will be ambitious, industrious, fortunate and successful. Many will have special talents. (Copyright, 1943) - - MRS. MIETTINEN | HAS ARTICLE IN NAT. MAGAZINE When a Juneau woman breaks into print in a national magazine it's local news. In the current issue of “She,” new national magazine published in New York, is “Report from Alas-| ka,” an article by Ms. Thumasl Miettinen. Mrs. Miettinen tells in her 2,000 word story of her experiences with the military police and FBI after she had snapped a picture of ‘her hushand’s fishing boat, the “Big Sam” down on Juneau's water- front—not realizing that she was violating military regulations x!gaxnsl taking waterfront pictures. After telling of her experience, she reaches this philosophic con- clusion—that the experience helped her to realize that we are at war— that more stringent laws had to be enforced: N .- "“This is the time we should not show our teeth to American-made laws. Instead, we want to show our teeth to the Japs, dare them to at- fémpt to invade Alaska. We have 80).10,-be ‘more careful ‘not to give the |FBI 100 much unnecessary work,"” Writing is ‘a family habit with the Migttenens. Dioris, semior in h . school, has had artigles and pictures published in “Alaska Life” and in “Oddities.” ST.

Margaret Cashel was surprised at her home at Treadwell March 15 by a number of her friends. The occasion was her 15th birthday and a most entertaining evening was spent. Oak Olson, of the brokerage firm of Olson and Meherin, and Mrs. Olson left on the Admiral Rogers for Seattle where they were to make their future home. Olson and Meherin had moved their headquarters to Seattle for their Alaska business. One hundred Presbyterian tourists, to study the Presbyterian Home Missions, were to come to Southeast Alaska during the summer and the Rey. S.
