Norman Wells was discovered in
1889 by the explorer Alexander
Mackenzie, and Is situated along the
river that bears his name. A Can
adian firm drilled the first well
there in 1919, closed down In 1925,
and reopened In the 1930s when new
radium and gold mines In the ter
ritory offered an outlet for its prod
uct. A refinery was built there in
1889, and in May, 1912, the U. S. War
Department contracted to extend
the development and construct the
pipeline.
STILL THREATENS JAPAN
Colonel Rosengren admits that
ships and railroads are still the best
transportation mediums, and are still
the principal sources Of Alaskan
supply. But he will not admit that
the 10000 soldier-engineers and 1000
civilians who built the highway have
fought cold and Ice and frostbite,
and mud and dust and mosquitoes,
In vain. For the highway adds an
other barrel TO the gun that now Is
pointed at Japan.

DEFENDS
JACKSON HOLE
NATIONAL PARK

Louisville, KY, Sept. 7.--(Up)--A
statement issued by Col. Richard
Lieber, member Of the advisory
board Of the National Park Service,
defends the recent establishment OF
jackson Hole National Monument,
Wyoming, as national park.
Colonel Lieber takes issue with
eastern WRITER'S" who, he said,
"have accepted ali material fur.
nished by the opponents OF the
project and made 1t the basis OF
news items, editorials and columns
without atteInptinggto check the all
legations made"
"The facts concerning the estab-
lishment Of Jackson Hole National
Monument are simple" the colonel
stated. 1.-THE area is one containing
scenic, historic and scientific values
of national significance, which are
Of much greater worth preserved to
the people Of the United States as
q national monument or park than
they would be II exploited for indi-
vidual aggrendizement Of any type"
He said that President Roosevelt,
In declaring the area q national
park, acted under the so-caileN
Antiquities act Of 1906
Rockefeller Bought Land
Colonel Lieber related that John
D. Rockefeller, Jr, visited the Jack
son Hole country in 1924 and was
so impressed by It's grandeur that
he purchased the lands most In
danger Of exploitation for donation
to the government as a nationa;
preserve. Finally, this year, Mr..
Rockefeller notified Secretary Ickes
that he no longer felt justified in
continuing his large investment
unless he could be assured that the
lands would soon be accepted for
park purposes by the federal gov
eminent"
Much Of the discussion Of the
Jackson Hole National Monument
and Its proposed abolition has cen.
tered around the alleged amount Of
land that would be taken out Of
farming when the operation Of the
national monument began. Again
the record absolutely disproves the
charge. OF the remaining per
cent Of lands still privately owned
the owners Of those lands APP
parently are still eager to have their
properties included within the mon.
ument. No funds are available for
this purpose"
No Rights Abridged
Colonel Lieber declared the mon.
ument was established subject to
all valid existing rights, which In
cluded private property, permits
from other government agencies
covering grazing, home sites and
kindred uses for the lifetime Of the
present permittees the privilege
Of driving cattle across the rnonu-
ment would be continued Just as IL
had been under previous permit
from the Department OF Agricul-
| ture.
Regarding the claim that estab-
lishment Of the park will adversely
affect the business interests OF
Teton County, Wye, Colonel Lieber
said the influx Of tourists has benes
hted the local people financially
and has brought considerable rev.
enue to the state. "Killing Yellow.
stone or Grand Teton National
Parks or jackson Hole National
Monument would seem like killing
the goose that lays the golden egg,"
he said.

Good Evening.

Time and again It's comforting to think
OF the days gone by when we were not on the brink
OF some startling monumental disaster
As the hours speed by faster and faster
Now and again these September days
When the air is soft and there's the familiar haze
We like to remember simple homely things
And all th4 beauty that September brings,
Such as the bright color Of SALIVA beds,
Late summer flowers predominatng reds.
Time and again we like TO recall
War guns and uniforms were not all
That took UP our time, and this bomber business,
Massing armies and all such dizziness.
We would like once again to enjoy the breeze
September days. amid the gnared orchard trees,
Watching the apples gradually go red,
Watching the farm horses slowly led
Out to the trough to get drink,
But instead we're on the same brink
We like to remember the wild blue aster
While September days go by fast and faster. E

Cereal Is Dignified As New Dinner Dish
 In Protein Program

, while the proteins are relatively poor in themselves. they become nutritionally effective when supple9 mented with a moderate amount of meat, egg, or milk.
 The War Food Administration Is urging the cereal industry to increase production and consump- ton of cereals by 25 per cent. They anticipate a still further need in cereal production, If our military plans lend-lease and re- mobilization programs are to be carried out successfully without impairing the nutritional stand ards of our civilian population.
 Clarence Francis, president of General Foods, :1ys that present indications point to decrease in the meat supply for civilians in the months to come. That means need to utilize cereals in forms and at times not now customery. He calls attention to England's war time increase in consumption Of cereals by 90 per cent.
 NOT ENOUGH MEAT

Drop in for big bowl of cereal may become the wartime dinner in- vitation. Not only the nutritionists of the Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Ec1 monies and the War Food Administrator but also some of the leading hotels and restau- rants of the country are backing the drive to increase our consump- ton of cereals.
 The shortages of meat, the high costs of fish and eggs and other sources of complete protein place vital wartime emphasis on oats, corn, rye, wheat and barley. Whether eaten in the form of breakfast food or in bread and other baked foods, these cereals provide essential protein at time when protein is ore of the deci- sive factors in winning the war
 PROTEIN CEREALS
 Rolled oats, I example. contain more than 16 per cent of protein and wholewheat flour more than l3 per cent. Wholewheat bread or en- riched bread adds protein to the diet, too, but must be eaten in quan- tity to run up the count. Prepared breakfast foods add around 8 grams of protein and for that reason could
