Greater Consumption
Of Vegetables Urged

Everyone in the community IS
being urged to eat more fresh
vegetables because of their health
building benefits. Fresh vegetables
are high in vitamin content and
their supply of calcium and iron
is needed for good health, L. L.
Mills, chairman of the New Han
over county food industry COM
mittee, said Saturday.
Put green colors on your dinner
table in 1.-The form of leafy vege-
tables, Mr.. Mills said. In green
leaves are found food materials
which are absolutely essential to
good health. Greens are rich in
minerals and vitamins - particu-
larly rich in iron, and in vitamins
A and c. Some greens are rich
in calcium. They are good sources
Of vitamins B1 and G.. The thinner
and greener the leaf, the higher
it's value for iron and vitamin A,
according to recens findings of the
Bureau of Home Economics-Unit-
ed States Department of Agricul-
ture.
Americans eat more cabbage
than any other vegetable, except
potatoes. Cabbage is top-ranking
vegetable as far as vitamins are
concerned, as it contains A, B1,
c, and G.. AS a general rule the
greener the cabbage the richer it
is in most all of these vitamins.
Green cabbage is also a source
of calcium and iron. 1

3 men PERISH
WHEN SUB SINKS
United States Craft Goes
Down Off Canal Zone Fol.
lowing Collision

WASHINGTON, Feb. T. Up -
Thirty-three men were believed to
have perished in the American sub
marine S-26 which sank-the Navy
disclosed today when It collided
with a Naval escort vessel off the
Panama Canal Zone the night Of
Jan. "a.
Only two officers and a seaman
who had been standing on the bridge
during the submarines surface
operations survived. They were the
commanding officer, Lieutenant
Commander Earle c. Hawk Of Sau-
gerties, N. Y; Lieutenant Robert
E. N. Ward of Antioch, Calf; and
Seaman Joe B. Hurst Of Ada, Okla.
The impact threw them clear Of
the submarines superstructure and
they were fished out of the dark
waters. The Navy said it had aban-
doned all hope for those who went
down with the craft and added
tersely:
"The next of kin of casualties
have been notified"
Names of the men We're not dis.
closed.
The submarine. apparently badly
battered in the surface mishap,
went down Immediately.
The Navy said the normal comple-
ment of submarine the type of
the S-26, a World war type vessel
which was started in 1918 and com.
missioned in 1923, was 35 men and
four officers.
Three men were reported in Pan.
anna to have remained ashore for
medical treatment, a report the
Navy did not confirm here.
The Navy disclosed that time and
circumstances had worked against
efforts to rescue the trapped men
through use of the comparatively
recent diving bell device.
1t required five days to make con-
tact with the vessel which was SUBJ
merged in 301 feet Of water. There
was no indication Of life aboard,
the Navy said.
Even if the submarine had been
located in time to attempt to save
any lives, the announcement contin-
ued, it would have been impossible
to use the diving bell to remove any
survivors.

CHILKAT BLANKETS
 RECEIVED AT ARTS
 AND CRAFTS DEpT

Three Chilkat blankets, with col orful totem pole designs in white, yellow, black and green, have been received from Klukwan by the Arts and Crafts Department of the Of- flee of Indian Affairs.
 The blankets are all of different sizes, full size, half size and quarter size and are among the craft articles seldom sent in by the Indians. Kluk- wan is the only remaining place where they are made and as they are woven from goats hair, which must be carded, spun and dyed as we'll as woven by the Indians, they entail a large amount of work. Those received by the Arts and Crafts Department are excellent ex- amples of Chilkat blankets, accord ing to H. w. Startling, Supervisor of the Arts and Crafts Department.
 Among other recent arrivals in the department is collection of dolls made by the Indians of Ket- chikan, Hoonah and Juneau which are similar to the dolls made by the Eskimos that have proved so popu- lar.
 Also received recently is the an- nual shipment of birch bark baskets that are made by the natives of Christ Church Mission at Anvik.
