NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1011 Buflding, Seattle, Wash, VACATION Best advice we have seen to vacationists, sum- mer of 1943, is that in a recent New York Times “Topics of the Times,” First of all, chances are that v this summer will be stay-at-home holidays, the Topics of the Times columnist says. As one reads his column, it is easy to agree that a stay-at-home | vacation may be made one of the blessings of war. Says the Times: “Fortunately, it ummer 1943 cations, if anp, is a commonplace human to insist upon making the best of things as they are.| Porced by scarcity to do without, begin to rationalize the situation and discover we are better off, really, for the deprivation. “It is all right to label this patriotism, and it is &t times.

There will be those who, in spite of the counsel of past failurés, set down for thémselves a calendar of worth-whilé labors they plan to perform |while on domestic holidays. The only possible result (of such planning is disappointment and disillusion. “There will be those, say, who decide they willy do a bit of house painting.
