Nonstop Foot Race
Scheduled at FOLeu.

Foley-The biggest foot race in the
history of Benton county will take place
April when Andy Kreger of the Hauck
Hardware firm will make a nonstop
foot race to st. Cloud, ten miles from
Foley. He is accepting wagers that he
will make it in less than two and one
half hours, all of which started when
he and another Foley citizen got into a
friendly discussion as to how well and
effectively Andy could "hot-foot" it to
places in the shortest possible time.
Andy, thinking he is quite a track
man, lost no time in Boosting that it
would be nothing for him to race to St.
Cloud some morning. The turn was
called and the race is on with the two
and one-haf hour time limit, and ANDY
is willing to accept all bets he can get
on himself.

Police ArriUe in Last
Seconds, Halt Suicide.

Winona-The 4O-year-old mother of
two children sat in the willows SCREEN
ing the Milwaukee tracks at Winona
and awaited for the eastbound Hia-
watha, but was saved from suicide by
the arrival of two policemen when the
train was already in sight. Only a few
seconds remained. A police call had
been turned in by persons living in the
neighborhood who had seen the woman
conceal herself in the willow growth
and guessed from the way she waited
out Of sight except for an occasional
look along the tracks that she in
tended to jump in front of the train.
When questioned by police, the woman,
Winona resident for many years, ad-
mitted she had waited for the train
even though she knew she wasn't at
the depot. She had intended to wait
until the engine was close before run
ming onto the tracks, she said.

proper attention to driving is not safe
behind the wheel of a car.
It is true that "hurrying" results in
many accidents. But it is also true that
worrying is responsible for many mis-

bad to take your mind off your driving
as it is to take your hand off the steer
ing wheel.
If you have load on your mind, get
rid of it somehow before you get into
the drivers seat. Driving nowadays,
especially city driving, demands con-
slant alertness. You cannot be part

Resolution Asks Fed. Govt. to Prevent Encroach-
 ment from Aliens

A resolution urging the Federal government to take whatever steps may be necessary to protect Alaska's fishery resources from alien en- croachment was passed by the Gen. tral Labor Council of Seattle and vicinity at a recent meeting. The resolution asked that the President be given the authority to take any steps necessary to prevent this en- croachment, including authority to declare a complete embargo upon the fishery products of any type, CT other commodities, from any coun- try which violates or nullifies the fishery conservation laws of the United States.
 The resolution states that as re- cently as February g in Seattle, Japanese commercial interest, i1di cated plans to operate floating can- neries in the Boring Sea, designed to intercept in extra. territorial waters salmon runs bound for AL aska spawning grounds. Pointing out that the salmon runs in Alaska have been built up over long period of years under stringent regulations of the U. S. government which have required great sacrifices on the part of fishermen, cannery workers, and packers to preserve this resource, the resolution calls attention to the great damage and increased Gnem- ployment which would result if for eign off-shore operations are per- mitted.
 It also points out that the en- croachment of these Japanese in- terests would not only result in less employment in Alaska because of the depletion of the resource. but also that foreign markets for Ameri- can Canned Salmon would be de- stroyed since U. S. packers could not compete with operators who pay

Evelina. Il saw that girl and her
boy friend smashed up against the

around the office. The adhesive
drawing the edges of her small
wound together gave her a rather
rakish look. she decided, looking in
a rather unflattering mirror. She
opened her handbag, found pow

on her long enough to remark that
he was going to get his car, and
in a few minutes they drove away
from the house. She said careless
