SEVEN SHOPPING DAYS LEFT Somewhere in today's issue of The Daily Alaska Empire will be found an advertisement stating there are only seven days left in which to do Christmas shopping. Time waits for no man or woman and before we know it Christmas will be here. Local merchants are already displaying Christmas goods suitable for gifts and shoppers are reminded to do their Christmas buying now. Several stores will soon announce evening hours for shopping but don’t wait until the last rush hour. Clerks have their shopping to do and they also make plans for the holiday season and an extra hour or two in the shop will curtail all that. Then remember, if you have cards, Christmas let- ters or gifts to mail to the States, your last chance is on the Princess Norah scheduled southbound Sat- urday or the Baranof southbound Sunday. Even then the mail will be too late for the East or Middle States | and will barely reach Seattle in time for Christmas delivery on the coast, so do your Christmas shopping Literacy Tests Times) ts prior to the recent American citizens their seribes the re “the averag o read twice.” Few \\nl argue that citi a functioning democracy should be required to read and m(srpxct the symbols of the English language. This would be true if for no other reason than to protect the less |literate citizen from the wiles of corrupt politicians ‘whu might use this ignorance to mislead the new ‘vo(er It is another matter, however, if these tests |are found to be too complicated. Wholesale failure lamong those who did not pass has been ascribed to {this “too difficult” theory. As a result, local school officials are planning to ask the State Department of Education to form these tests on a modified scale. This appears on the surface a logical conclusion. Since twice as many men and women failed this year as in either 1947 or 1944, other election years, the Department of Educa- tion might possibly have pitched the questions on too high a level. A healthy democracy will have as many |of its citizens voting as desire to do so. \ “How learn you Americans language difficult ex- now.

Both were in Washington during one important period of the war, but scarcely exchanged a word together. Once the Chinese Ambassador had to re- main at his home to take a phone call from Madame Chiang, ceused him to be late for dinner at the home of her brother. Where- upon he was kept waiting a full hour and a half in an anteroom until all other guests had finished eating. Mayling's older sister is mar- ried to Dr. H. H. Kung, former Minister of Finance, and one of the wealthiest men in China. While the Chinese have starved, he has kept his millions.

Actually the Russians have sent nowhere near the supplies to the Communist armies that we have gent to Chiang. But Russian pro- paganda is far better. And most important of all the Chinese are fed up with high prices, no food, and blame their troubles on Lhe Soong dynasty at the top. Not all the munitions in the USA could make them fight for the Generalissimo—which is the great hurdle the charming Madame Chiang Kai-shek sought to over- come. o209 5000e e . Goad .
