S YOUR AGE” We all grow older and hesitate to admit it but sometimes it catches up with us, this business of age. Here are suggestions from a trade paper “Spinning Reels” about “How to Guess Your Age,” and there is not one of them that has not been encountered by most people at one time or another: “It seems that they are building staircases steeper than they used to. The risers are higher, or there are more of them, or something. Maybe this is because it is so much farther today from the first floor to the second floor, but I've noticed it is getting harder to make two steps at a time anymore. Nowadays it is all I can do to make one step at a time. “Another thing I've noticed is the small print ‘re using lately. Newspapers are getting farther and farther ay when I hold them, and 1 have to squint tc make them out. The other day I had to back vay out of a telephone booth in order to read the number on the coin box. It is obviously ridiculous to est that a person of my age needs glasses, but the other way I can find out what's going on is to have somebody read aloud to me, and that's not too ry because people speak in such a low voice these that I can’t hear them very well. “Everything is farther than it used to be. It's twice the distance from my house to the station now, and they've added a fair sized hill that T never noticed before. The trains leave sooner, too. I've given up running for them because they start faster these days when I try to catch them. “A lot of other things are different lately. Barbers no longer hold up a mirror behind me when they've finished so I can see the back of my head, and my wife has been taking care of the tickets lately when we go to the theatre. They don’t put the same material into clothes anymore either. I've noticed that my suits have a tendency to shrink, especially in certain places such as around the waist or in the seat of the pants, and the laces they put in shoes nowadays are much harder to reach. “Even the weather is changing. It's getting colder in winter and the summers are hotter than they used to be. I'd go away if it wasn't so far. Snow is heavier when I try to shovel it, and I haye to put on rubbers whenever I go out because rain today is wetter than the rain we used to get. Drafts are more severe, too. It must be the way they build windows now. “People are changing/ too. For one thing they're younger than they used to be when I was their age. I went back recently to an alumni reunion at the college I graduated from in 1943—that is, 1933—I mean 1923 and I was shocked to see the mere tots they’re admitting as students these days. The average age of the freshman class couldn't have been more than seven. They seem to be more polite than in my time though. Several undergraduates called me ‘Sir’ and one of them asked if he could help me across the street. “On the other hand, people of my own age are so much older than I am. I realize that my generation is approaching middle age (I define middle age rough- ly as the period between 21 and 110) but there is no excuse for my classmates tottering into a state of ad- vance senility. I ran into my old roommate at the bgr and he'd changed so much he didn’t recognize me. «eyou've put on a little weight, George,’ I said. qt's this modern food, George said, ‘It seems to be more fattening.” ‘How about another Martini?’ I said. ‘Have you noticed how much weaker the Martinis are these days?. ‘Everything is different, George said. ‘Even the food you get. It's more fattening.’ «How long since I've seen you, George?’ I said, ‘It must be several years. right after the election,’ sald George. ‘What election was that?’ George thought for a moment. ‘Coolidge,” he said. ‘Oh, I'said..." “I got to thinking about poor old George while I .was shaving this morning I stopped for a moment and looked at my own reflection in the irror. “They don't seem to use the same kind of glass in mirrors anymore.” | | Why is it that our benevolent and paternalistic Uncle Sam never considers establishing parity prices for what the white-collar worker has to sell?

Two recent examples of irrespon- sible talking on the part of “res- ponsible officials” have brought the whcle problem to a head. First, Colo., a member of the Congres- 1l Atomic Energy Committee, blurted out details on the power of our present A-bomb and the news that we are working on a bomb 1,- 0C0 times more powerful. He added that our scientists hope to devise means of prematurely exploding tombs headed our way.

Patrol Iplanes and blimps will prowl for jsubs along the coast. i Spearheading the air patrol will be the Navy's twin-engine P2V, which can fire machine guns, rock- ets, depth charges and bombs all at once. For long-range scouting trips, the Navy will start produc- tion scon on a four-engine, armed- to-the-teeth seaplane—the PB2Y. Blimps which can now be refueled at sea from tankers, will also play an important part in antisubmar- ine warfare.

An ad- cularly interested in the spread of the Republican ideal of representa- tive government. Whenever, in the previous century ,any people over- threw an absolute monarch and established some form of parlia- mentary government, Americans supported their efforts. Thomas Jefferson had expressed the American ideal when he said: “ . . The Tree of Likerty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and ty- rants, It is its natural manure.” Thus, in 1905, when, after a revolu- tion, the Russian people were given a constitution and a duma was| established, Americ)yfs gpneral’ly! |assumed that the day of liberty|division of the country.

Parker, Gustavus stock rancher, was in Juneau on busi- ness, registered at the Zynda Hotel. Jack Langseth of Douglas had ‘been awarded the Brunswick radio given way by Ludwig Nelson's Jewelry Store. Dorothy Austin and John E, Pegues had been married December 26 in the office of U. S. Commissioner Arthur Fox, who performed the ceremony. The couple was attended by the brother and sister-in-law of Mrs. Pegues, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Haley, and the bride’s mother, Mrs. Thomas Radonich. The bridegroom was the managing editor of The Empire, by which Mrs. Pegues had formerly been employed. At the meeting of the Alford John Bradford Post No. 4, American | Legion, the athletics committee reported progress in negotiations for use of the top floor of the A. B. Hall for a handball indoor baseball and tennis court. The Legion planned to make thig a community gym- nasium. After the business meeting, “members regaled themselves with refreshments provided by a committee under William Foushee.” The Hyder five defeated Thane by a score of 2174-2040 in the bowl- ing tournament on the Elks alleys, Metcalf of the Hyder quintet rolling a high score of 190 and high total of 552. Sailing for Sitka and wayports, the Margnita had as passengers the Rev. Gabriel Menager of the Church of the Nativity, who was answer- ing a sick call; Marian Bartlett and Paul Sveldeen. Robert Coughlin, wellknown throughout Southeast Alaska as the former purser of the Margnita and the Estebeth, was making the trip as purser, temporarily replacing Theodore Heyder, who was on vacation preparatory to a trip to Europe. Geraldine Bodding was to lead the meeting of the Light Brigade of the Lutheran Church.
