So your boy friend has gone to
war.
Lots of girls who thought they j
had found that "one and only" are j
confronted with the prospect of a |
few lonely years, while GI Jim ful
fils his military obligations. Actually
young girls (under IS) should not
be dating boys of military age on
a steady basis—unless they plan to
marry before the bcv goes away.
Usually these little left-at-home
girls sit around the house staring
at the departed one’s picture. They
spend their time writing mushy
letters, poetry and drooiy love notes.
They give up other boys even
though they are too young to be
promised to a youth a couple of
thousand miles away.
Lots of girls who followed this
pattern during the last war wasted
precious years, only to find that
their loved one took unto himself
a bride in another country.
Many a boy wanting to spare
a girl heartbreak took a year or
more after his marriage to termin
ate his mail-friendship with the
girl back home. If she was smart,
she probably got the pitch or was
annoyed by his evasive replies and
lack of enthusiasm when corre
sponding with her. But women in
love are not smart. So the average
girl who lost her beau via the
foreign market suffered a great deal
of mental anguish, and hardly was
in the frame of mind to make
a quick recovery and o-' „ another
romance.
Some might say 'hat boys in
the service during World War II
were just as abused by Cupid as
were their lady loves back home,
many of whom picked husbands
who were available and on the
spot. While there might have been
a few girls who were ruthless in
their anxiety to get a man signed
up on that marriage certificate,
few people ever blame a woman
who is told from childhood that
her ultimate security lies only in
marriage.
Men have many more marriage
able years than do women; some
how their wrinkles and paunches
do not count, so why feel sorry
for them? They sometimes have
no qualms, either, about divorcing
the little woman when her waistline
expands or crows feet appear under
her eyelids.
It is not the time to feel sorry
about the ultimate chances of your
departing soldier to marry some
one else, if you should change your
plans. Take the advice of girls

"EASY LIVING" IS i
DIFFERENT MOVIE, j
CAPITOL THEATRE
Most football pictures consist
chiefly of gridiron action building
1 up to a climax in which the hero
makes a 99-yard run for the win
ning touchdown in the last 10 sec
onds of play.
"Easy Living" is different. The
RKO Radio offering at the Capitol j
Theatre, smartly subordinates its
! gridiron scenes to delving private
life problems of the players on a
I crack professional team, and in so ■
! doing has come up with an absorb
ing and thoroughly realistic human i
drama.
The central character is the:
team’s star halfback, married to
an extravagant and ambitious wife,
whose hopes for his future are
blasted when he loses out on a coi- '
lege coaching position he had count - :
ed on and when he also learns that -
his football days are numbered b -
cause of a serious heart ailment.
His efforts to patch up his mari- |
tal difficulties and adjust his life j
to meet the new conditions mot - :
vate the story. Victor Mature, por
traying the role, does a splendid 1
job of it. Co-starred with him are j
Lucille Ball as the team's secretary
deeply interested in him, Lizabeth
Scott as his wife, Sonny Tufts as
his best friend, and Lloyd Nolan |
as manager-coach. All five of them
turn in solid performances.

In the top photo all passengers relax in deep pile lounge seats, or

SURVEY ON COST Of
LIVING IN ALASKA
IS URGED BY TOBIN
Secretary of Labor Tooin has
stated that he is in full agreement
with Delegate Bartlett's representa
tions that cost-of-living surveys
should be undertaken as soon as
possible throughout Alaska.
The Secretary’s views were ex
pressed in a recent letter in ic
sponse to Delegate Bartlett's long
standing recommendation that a
cost-of-living study and a labor
market analysis in Alaska be made
prior to the passage of a resolution
introduced by Delegate Bartlett on
this subject.
The Delegate's resolution first in
troduced in the 81st Congress and
reintroduced on January 3 of this
year in the 82nd Congress authorizes
the Bureau of Labor Statistics to
report periodically on labor condi
tions in Alaska, with particular re
ference to wages, working condi
tions, hours of work, productivity,
industrial relations and employment j
and job opportunities in various
industries, prices for principal com
modities and the cost of living in
the larger towns. Additionally, the
reports, which would be made to
Congress no less than once every
two years, would also relate to hous
ing and other conditions affecting
the welfare of labor in Alaska.
“We are making plans,” Secretary
Tobin has informed Delegate Bart
lett, “to collect price information j
in Alaska in the next few weeks j
to satisfy emergency needs. Assum
ing that funds are made available
to us (we have none for this pur
pose), we are planning to make a
more complete cost of living survey
in several cities in the Territory
in the larfe spring, and to reinstitute
a full-scale index program. I am
now asking for these funds and
hope that we can go forward with
this nrogram.”

PROBLEM AIR
DEFENSEU.S.
IS INSOLUBLE
MONROE, Wis., Feb, 15.——Aii
defense of the United States is ar
“almost insoluble problem,” say;
Gen. Nathan F. Twining, vice chiei
of the Air Force.
Long-range bombing within ar
attacking enemy nation offers the
best “and perhaps only opportunity
to strike a decisive blow,” he said
in a speech last night.
Increased range, speed and alti
tude of modern airplanes were cited
by the general as causes for in
creasing difficulty of defense against
air attack.
Twining spoke at a Chamber of
Commerce dinner in his home city.
After discussing the effectiveness
of the atom bomb which can be
carried by American long-range
bombers, he said:
“Long-range bombardment is a
method of warfare through which
our superiority of skill* and weapons
can be brought to' bear against
the sources of enemy strength any
where in the world."
The Air Force official said this
striking power would not be against
enemy populations but against in
stallations which make it possible
for the enemy to produce weapons.
"Modern industrial plants cannot
be divided and scattered without
destroying the efficiency of pro
cessing and assembly so necessary
in mass production,” he said.
Of the Korean war. Twining said
there has been “very little real air
warfare” because the Air Force has
avoided attacking the enemy’s prin
cipal bases and source of supply in
Manchuria.
LAST-DITCH FIGHT
STAVES OFF DEATH
7 WAR CRIMINALS
LANDSBERG. Germany. Feb. IE
—Upl— A last-ditch fight for life in
a Federal District Court in Wash
ington today staved off the sched
uled hanging of seven German war
criminals at a U. S. prison here.
Col. W. R. Graham, prison com
mandant, said that as long as the
U. S. Court considers a habeas cor
pus action filed by an attorney for
the seven condemned men, the exe
cutions will be stayed.
The seven-former SS officers and
concentration camp officials accused
of the murder of thousands of ci
vilians during the World War II—
originally were to have gone to the
gallows Tuesday night. The hanging
was put off until last night, then
postponed again because of the
men’s legal struggle.
The U. S. Court denied a habeas
corpus writ on Tuesday. Yesterday
Attorney Warren MaGree filed an
appeal in Washington appealing this
decision.

JAP FISHING
INDUSTRY IN
BAD CRISIS
- I
TOKYO, Feb. 14 — t/P) —Japan’s
fishing industry is facing a serious
economic crisis, William C. Her
rington, chief of the Occupation
Fisheries Division, said today.
Japan’s fishermen want to fish
over wider areas and they want
more financing.
Herrington turned thumbs down
on both. He said neither would help.
He came up with his own five-point
program.
He blamed fcurrent troubles on
(1) a 40 per cent increase in the
number of fishermen since the
war — to 1,500,000 or 2,000,000, (2)
a shortage of sardines and herring
and (3) increased operating costs.
He said reopening pre-war fishing
areas now closed to the Japanese
would do little good.
His own program: cut down over
fishing, develop sound conservation
regulations, establish strong agen
cies to enforce regulations, improve
quality and cut costs, and establish
a sound financing program.
Japans fishing fleet exceeds 1,
185,000 gross tons. This is consid
erably larger than it was before
the war.
A soapy solution made by pound
ing and soaking roots of the yucca
plant is used by the Indians of New
Mexico for ceremonial ablutions.
