NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES Pourth Avenue Bidg., Seattle, Wash. Alaska Newspapers, 1411 WHAT'S NEXT? Jack Stinnett, respondent whose column appears daily in The Emplire, guessed correctly in predicting Allied war moves. Several months ago he said that “before late Autumn, the Allies will move onto the Italian boot— there to establish air Nazis' southern and southeastern Associated Press Washington cor- recently but only onto the foot of it; bases from which the military holdings can be bombed to rubble.” The Allies invaded Italy, so it might be worthwhile to consider other predictions by this writer. Says Stinnett, “a bridgehead across the (English) channel will be established—before late Autumn also— probably in Denmark. It will only be a bridgehead, with protected air bases from which an all-winter bombing of Germany can be carried out on an even greater scale than it has from England this summer.” Recent reports of Nazl attempts in Denmark to pull the rioting Danes into line indicate that the Ger- mans also see this possibility. Martial law has been declared by the Germans in Denmark, more parachut- ing saboteurs are reported. Denmark, while not a perfect country for an invasion front, certainly is strategically located right on top of German industries and is perfect for bombing purposes. o The real invasion—the drive on Berlin, will be started next Spring, Stinnett predicts, and one good summer of fighting will see the end of the Axis But there 1s still Japan. Stinnett says a new | offensive will be carried to the Japs in preliminary rmnp.u;,n\ starting after the monsoon rains end next ] deh)d]aung plam or bom mxmlh.J(hl' concentrated assault being carried out quickly after the fall of Germany. The coming appointment of Gen. George C. Mar- shall as head of the globe-wide Allied armies is an- other indication that big things are soon to start happening. Bungling in Beel (Cincinnati Enqulx er) The Livestock and Bedf Council of Chicago has expressed the fear that the nation's beef shortage will grow increasingly worse unless drastic changes are made in the Federal meat management program. The council has presented to Washington a plan which, it contends, will do much to solve the problem. Under present conditions it is certain that much of the grain which formerly was used to “feed out” and finish cattle for the market is being diverted to other channels. Farmers who in past years have fed over the winter bands of beef cattle will not do it this year. Their grain will bring more on the market than it will after it is converted into meat. Thus the Western cattlemen, instead of gemng rid of their yéarlings to Eastern feeders and starting a new crop of calves, will have to hold their yearlings until they are two-year-olds; will produce a calf crop only every other year. The annual output of beef, then, will necessarily be reduged. If the government is pursuing this policy after | due study and consideration, the people should know it. If it is believed necessary to convert more and more grain to other ntial war uses and thus to cut down the finished beef available for civilian use, this decision should be explained fully to the public. it is entirely possible that some such reason lies »ehind the present program of holding grain prices o0 a point where the feeding out of cattle is not profit- ible. But if such is the case, the government has seen keeping it a secret. If, on the other hand, the condition exists merely 15 a result of governmental bungling—and in the \bsenice of better explanation that is being assumed n most quarters—then, certainly, it is time for a change. Unless the demands of war clearly and :easonably necessitate siphoning of more and more | srain from the cattle industry, the program of the Livestock and Meat Council should be studied care- fully, and if it is found practicable, it should be put nto effect. New Ways of Preserving Food y (Cincinnati Engquirer) The war has demonstrated in a most remarkable way the value of forzen foods and dehydrated foods. When peace returns there is bound to be a much wider use among the general public of preserved meats, fruits | and vegotables. Frozen foods, if kept frozen, will last ! pparently forever. Dehydrated foods have the im- nense value of concentration. A bushel of spinach | when dehydrated, for instance, would not fill a cigar | »0x. All vegetables are 90 per cent water and the dehydrated process simply removes the water and ‘eaves everything else. For cooking the water must be restored by soaking. The frozen method can be very satisfactory, as shown by the example of the mammoth which fell into a crevice during the ice age in Siberia, and there was frozen solid. Within recent times the melting ice exposed this mammoth and the natives found its meat to be edible and palatable. Its hide and skeleton is now to be seen in Leningrad. No one can tell whether that mammoth was frozen 10,000 or 50,000 years ago. It does not matter. The point is that freezing keeps meat sound and sweet indefinitely.

Of this number | over 2,000 witnessed the closing of the Fair the last night.

He said that to get this business, Juneau should work for it, prepare to entertain the visitors who come here and not to cheat them or to let any one else cheat them. To be absent about six weeks on official business, Gov. Scott C. Bone was to leave for Seattle enroute to Washington, according to an announcement made at the Governor’s office. He was expected to return to Juneau in November. Mrs. L. D. Henderson left on the Alaska for Seward to join her husband who was at the Westward on a trip of inspection of Territorial schools in connection with his office as Territorial Commissioner of Education. [ W. E. Forrest, operator-in-charge at the local radio station for the ‘ previous year and a half, left on the Admiral Rogers for Sitka to take charge of the radio station there. He was accompanied by Mrs. Forrest nd their two children.
