Fionce Killed,
|GHI Dons RinQ
At His Funeral

By the Associated Press.
COLEBROOK, N. H., Nov. IT,
Deprived by death of the BRIDE
groom she would have married next
Saturday, Miss Ida Knapp donned
the wedding ring of Clayton Ben
nett, jr, just before the youth was
borne to his grave, it became known
last night.
Young Bennett, crushed to death
beneath his overturned automobile
last Saturday, was carrying their
marriage license and the two rings,
intended for double-ring cere-
mony, when he met his tragic fate.
In pathetic ceremony, the heart
broken girl Wednesday stood beside
his bier while the young mans
father placed the wedding ring on
her finger. The other ring encircled
the finger of the dead youth.
Although no legal ceremony was
possible, the Rev. James F. Quimby
of the Colebrook Methodist Church
murmured a brief prayer and then
proceeded with the funeral service
for the dead youth.

placating answer from the sea
lords office
Mrs. Gerald NJ Clarke, who eX-
pressed her feeling in letter to
Mr.. Churchill. said yesterday she
received a reply from his secretary,
B. C. Sendall, stating:
Mr.. Churchill asked me to say
that nothing was further from his
mind than to suggest that there
was any analogy between the cause
and the character of the struggle
maintained by the Confederate
States and that of Nazi Germany
in the present war"
Mr.. Churchill in his talk said, in
part:
Britain may take good heart
from the American Civil War when
all the heroism of the South could
not redeem their cause from the
stain of slavery. just as all the
courage and skill which the Ger
mans show in war will not free
them from the reproach of Nazi-ism

CANNED SALMON
 GETS PRAISE BY
 RESTAURANT MEN
Aids Attractive and DeliC- jous Meals Helps to
 Reduce Food Costs

! Alaska's canned salmon came in for unprecedented attention from the nations restaurant operators at the annual convention of the N tional Restaurant Association held recently in Chicago, Carl w. Brcome, widely known Seattle res- tauranteur, who represented the Canned Salmon Industry reports.
 D Dsplays Of canned salmon dishes especially featured as attractive and delicious meals that help to reduce food costs were presented in exhib- it booths on the main floor Of the i ccaventicn. Eight majcr exhibitors at the convention coopcrated in featuring canned salmon as head line foad. Broone reports.
 1 Among the exhibitors who showed displays including canned salmon were: Birdseye Frosted Foods Cor pcraticn, who highhghted salmon with quick frozen vegetables Edi- sen Company, kitchen equipment manufacturers Idaho Potato Flour, | Pahst Beer, Anets Berger Equip ment Company, Majestic Range Company, Toastmaster Company, and Standard Brands, Incorporated.
 Typical of these exhibits was the Edison Company exhibit which daily showed frash-made plates featuring croquettes made with canned sal- mon, and salmonburgers.
 Tn addition to prominence given Alaska's salmon in exhibits which were viewed by 12,0O0 of the leading restaurant operators of the country canned salmon occupied a place in the formal sessions of the conven- ton.
 For the demonstration lectures in which operators attending the meetings were shown new attractive ways to serve foods. canned salmon i was used as a salad feature. l In a number of other sessions of i the convention, this Alaska product was mentioned as g healthful and attractive food available at low cost
 In summing up the activities to boost the sale of canned salmon through restaurants, Broome de- clared that nearly one-third of the total amount of food sold in the United States is bought by restau- rants and institutions.
 'The promotion of this field as an important customer for Alaska $ canned salmon can do a great deal not only to help consume the an- nual pack of salmon, but also to publicize salmon as an attractive i food.
 When a woman sees salmon serv- ed in appetizing, appealing ways when she eats out, she is more like ly to think of salmon as an at- tractive food to serve at her owr table" Broome declares.

SCHOONER LEFT
FOR UPPER KEYS
SKIPPER OF STANDARD
BRINGS HIS CHICKENS
WITH HIM

Schooner Standard, which is
sailed by an old sea captain who
lives on lime groves on Key
Largo owned by Sheriff Karl
Thompson, sailed out of Key
West today for the upper keys.
The schooner had in tow a
motor launch and several small
skiffs. On the schooner lives an
old sea captain and his wife.
The old captain sails the entire
schooner himself.
Best known item regarding the
schooner is the owners statement
that he brings his chickens down
in coops from the Largo estate
on each trip. The reason he gives
is that they must be taken care
of and that is the only way he
can tend to them.

stated today.

done within the figure if other
federal agencies can be induced
to participate in the project.
Whether the RFC refers to the
army and navy, has not been
made absolutely clear to the
aqueduct commission, but it is
presumed in some quarters that
the army and navy may enter
the project as part of its national
defense expansion program in
Key West.
AS result of the conference
Saturday with Mr.. Mccartney, it
was decided to authorize Elsom
T. Killam, nationally known
waterworkS engineer who is
identified with the firm of l.. L.
Lee & Associates and who drew
up the original aqueduct plans,
to go to Washington. There he
will supply RFC and WPA Off
Gals with any required informa-
ton and engineering data in an
effort to insure early action on
the applications for $1,311, 900,
Survey To Follow
1t is expected that if the fed
eral agencies do approve of the
detailed engineering data, ex-
pertS will be sent here to survey
the keys and Key West to deter
mine the possibility of making
the project self-supporting and
self-liGuidating = through water
consumption. The possibilities
will be carefully checked to de-
termine the probable consump-
ton of business and commercial
interests here and along the
keys, by householders, by home
steaders and farmers and by the
army and navy.
Informal statements made to
us sounded favorable" Chairman
Doughty told The Citizen today.
This does not mean the project
will be approved without delay.
Many angles must be ironed out
first and many uncertain factors
must be weighed carefully. We
believe we are making progress
and that our efforts may be
crowned with success. Anything
can and may happen to upset our
plans, but we are beginning to
see hope for contamination of
our dream of a fresh water sys-
tenn"
