While in Germany and then
in Canada Mrs. Elkiw had
been trying to reach her
parents by letter.

But they never received any
word from her until the Red

in 1967.

Until that time her parents

FORECAST FOR THE YEAR

FOR ALL READERS BORN BETWEEN
MARCH 7 AND MARCH 13

Romance will beckon the young and unattached *

who celebrate their anniversaries this week; and
that can mean an opportunity to meet an in-
teresting member of the opposite sex. For those
already married, the influences can lay the
foundation of a very happy year, secure in the love

of children and spouse.

In occupational interests there should be ap-
portunity for some to make fine headway in the

running for promotion.

AQUARIUS
January 21-February 19
Economic recovery seems

under way, and wages and

salaries seem consolidated, So
see what you can do this week to
improve earnings. Those of you
who have the artistie tem-

perament will be receiving new -

inspirations, and these too can
pay off.

PISCES
February 20 - March 20
Changes are proceeding of a
kind likely to induce you to view
fulure  praspects more
hopefully. Don’t expect
miracles to happen; still, every
little should count. You are
likely to be well supported by
associates and should be able to
take advantage of the business
opportunities opening up.
ARIES

March 21 - April 20

Your earning powers should
be good if you resolve to keep
your nose to the grindstone.
Occupationally the vista seems
good, but the boss will expect
you to show him that you are

living up to the spirit of the’

agreed productivity deals.
Quite a good social week too.

TAURUS
_ April 21-May 21

Your personal enterprise will
be supported by others, and
should you have need of the help
_ of friends you may find them
prepared to rally round you. .
* Your popularity will mount pro
rata with your prestige, and
business opportunities should
be presenting themselves,

’ GEMINI
May 22 - June 21

Forge ahead’ with your
business enterprises since your
efforts are likely to be well
supported. But if employed,
proceed more slowly and try not
torock the boat. Conditions are
changing, and cooperators are
likely to prove more helpful.

CANCER
Sune 22- July 22

You may now be able to make
the necessary changes that can
break through the frustration
which you have been ex-
periencing. . To-morrow
especially will be an ‘in-
spirational day. But briefly the
messageis: if you are prepared
to give of your best in the way of
service, money or rewards will
begin to flow in your direction.
