NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. IN THh l( K OF TIME 1 The War Production Board has caused a lot of | women to begin breathing easier, or at least normally | again, with the annoncement that the ban on pro- | duction of girdles, corsets and other “foundation” garments within which the modern woman is built is lifted and manufacturers will be able to produce in 1944 at least 75 percent of what they produced in 1941 A recent amendment also promises to relieve that certain hard-to-get infant items will be available and workers producing the goods have been placed on the list of essential workers. Garments to be pro- duced include knitted outerwear, sweaters, shirts, creepers, hose, rompers, sleepers, dresses for toddlers, and for older children, overalls, suits, panties and slips, pants, slacks, shirts and shorts Last year 1444365 boy babies were born in the United States and 1,364,631 girl babies. Neither had clothes to “last for the duration” other than what Mother Nature prundeu I)drl\ \\arf.ire (New York Times) Where Russia’s huge land armies roll back the invader and where American and British forces storm mountain passes on the road to Rome there is much daylight fighting. The precision bombing of our Eighth Air Force and many of its fighter attacks also go forward in the light of day. But on all front: on land and sea and in the air in this strangest and most terrible of wars, much of the battle is blind. Great raids of the RAF which are making rubble of the Nazi capital take place in the shadow of night and under the obscurity of clouds. At s¢ the sub- marine arms of both the United Nations and their enemies prefer to strike their blows in darkness. The jungle fighters of Japan in the whole Pacific theatre hardly can be provoked into fighting in the sun; they find the blackest hours their favorite time of activity. This shift in emphasis from day to night for the principal fury of combat is not due except in the case of Japanese, so much to psychological as to tech- nological reasons. Advances in electronics, in fire | control, in the range and accuracy of weapons, make ssible to carry on an eerie sort of war in which do not even see each other when they strike, {lagging courage.

HEART AND HOME: The pres-| ent configuration soothes the hurts of everyday living, encourage spirit- ual consciousness and’ Harmony should prevail in the home. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Though Notably in the Pacific naval engagements, the great | superiority of our own instruments of detection and |* control has enabled us to blow the Japanese out of | |the water again and again, while sustaining com- | paratively light losses ourselves. l This is a far cry indeed from the days v\h(‘l\‘ armies bivouacked for the night and sea engagements | were broken off of necessity at sundown for lack of | visibility. Today we see thorugh fog and storm, we hear under water, we plot and track electrically with | unerring aim, we bomb by the light of the flares int the path of pathfinder scout planes more wonderfully | |aware of what is invisible to human eyes than ever | magicians dreamed. Such warfare imposes new skills‘ trade in retail stores may become islack for a brief period after Christ- mas, a puzzling sign seems to pre- sage immense demands for spécial clothing and house furnishings. NATIONAL ISSUES: With an increase of crime throughout the country the underworld problem will be widely discussed. Citizens will insist that the nation econtrol lawbreakers who accumulate mil- lions of dollars preying upon the | public.

M. Guffey, member of the firm of Butler-Mauro Company, who had been here for two weeks on his annual visit. He was very much pleased with the company's showing and confident that the outlook for this year was equally as good as that of the previous year. Ketchikan's theatre beautiful, the new Coliseum, was opened there by Manager W. D. Gross on January 3, according to word received here The attraction for the opening was Mabel Norman in “Suzanna.” The largest cargo of cedar logs to be shipped from Alaska was to be sent out of Sitka the latter part of the present month, according to announcement. The cargo was destined for Japan and was to be shipped llo Seattle on the Latouche. | e As a surprise party in honor of Mrs. Scott C.
