Bomber Crashes
At Montreal;
Several Killed

MONTREAL, April 25. (UP)-A
four-motor Liberator transport of
the Royal Air Force crashed into a
house in downtown Montreal Tues
day, killing all members OF its crew
and an undetermined number of
civilians.
The plane had just taken off and
carried crew of four or five men
The crash set a large fire which
Immediately engulfed several neigh
boring homes.
Arthur Bourque, of Monitor, NJ B.
saw the plane crash from his room
on the tenth floor of the Queens
hotel, 1000 yards away. He said
it had an altitude of only 200 feet
when it passed over the hotel and
its wings were dipping from side
to side, suggesting to him that it
was out of control.
Two hours after the crash, nine
bodies had been recovered and pol
ice and firemen were searching
the ruins of the homes. One of the
bodies was that of a woman, from
one of the homes. Two injured per-
sons were taken to hiSpitalS.

There is no valid reason why this
area and San Diego should not
be placed on one of the Six inter-
regional highways being planned for
the national highway system.
This was the consensus of nearly
80 persons frC.4l san Diego, Imper-
ial and Yuma counties in a meet
ing at Jacumba Monday evening.
The meeting was called to present
a united effort to get the area
located on one Of the highways new
being projected to Seattle. Port
land. San Francisco and three TO
Los Angeles, leaving Southern CAL
ifornia off the map"
POINTS TO BENEFITS
The economic welfare of this
section of the country, which not
only has a large strategic Seaboard,
but contains the highest producing
agricultural areas of the nation, will
be greatly served by federal high
way from Tuscon to San Diego,
Frank Howard, chairman of the
San Diego highway committee told
the meeting. We are not attempt
ing to take anything away from
anyone else, but our welfare and
future development depend upon
our getting recognition
NJ. E. E. East of the Los Angeles
Auto Club pointed out that the
highway is needed for national de-
fense. 1T is needed because we
have no highway near the Mexican
border after you leave El Paso,
Texas, and because it has been
proved that the route suggested
would be not only an all-year route
but also one of the fastest east
west roads in the na:iCn, he as
serted.
MILEAGE LISTED
It was brought out at the meet
ing that the inter-regional high
way system as planned by the
Washington bureau of Highways al
lows for 10000 miles of highways
Of which six present proposed routes
would use $4,000 leaving 5000 for
other roads. e E. Wallace, state
engineer proposed that the tri-
County group COllCeIltIdle cIlOtlS OH
getting an ALLEGATION of 500 miles
of that balance for a road from
Tucson to San Diego. He claimed
that road locations are being left
in the hands of the states and that
j assistance from the California high
way department and that of Arizona
be enlisted.
Forward reported that he has
planned to call upon Mexican Of
ficials in Mexico City for assist
ance in getting the border route
He said he also intended to inter-
est them in a Mexican border route
highway from Tia Juana to Santa
Ana.

the RAF was over Germany Mon

TONNAGE AVAILABLE

Although estimated production of
carrots in Imperial county this year
is five per cent smaller than in
l943. about $4,000 tons might go 10
waste unless fed to livestock, VIA
authorities said.
Large quantities of carrots pro-
duced last year were useC by dehy-
orators, but because of smaller re-
quirements and large stocks of de-
hydrated carrots already on hand,
cehydratOrS cannot use as many
carrots this year as in 1943. Critical
tin shortage also is limiting quantity
that could be used by Gamers. Since
carCtene eXtractorS are already op-
er-ting to capacity and manufac-
ture of vitamin A from carrots, no
additional quantities can be utilized
by these outlets either, it was point
ed cut.
An extensive educational program
is being conducted to stimulate
greater fresh consumption of car
rcts, and it is expected to help in
crease the volume of carrots now
going into frezh market However,
even with an increased number of
outlets, there still will be a Sizeable
quantity left to feed livestock.
OFFERS OPPORTUNITY
In view Of the scarcity of more
commonly used livestock feed and
benefit payments offered above, the
diversion program offers livestock
owners anC feeders excellent oppor-
tunity TO obtain nutritious food for
their livestock. All inquiries and ap-
plicatiOnS for participation in the
program should be directed to Paul

Ernest L. Anthony, dean OF Agri-
culture, Michigan State College,
will address the honor meeting for
Washtenaw County Agricultural
draftees, next Wednesday evening,
Feb. l6, at s p. m. in Hill Audi
forum, Ann Arbor.
Dean Anthony's analysis OF the
1914 food problem should be OF int
crest TO every citizen. who wants
to be assured OF an adequate diet
for the next year. A plentiful sup
ply OF food can have a very direct
effect upon all phases Of the war
effort at home and abroad.
There is an even chance that the
1914 crops will not equal that OF
the last two years. Weather can
not be expected to be good every
year. The present outlook is that
maximum farm production and VIC
tory gardens will be needed in
1914. Dean Anthonys discussion
will bring 10 Washtenaw County's
citizens someNef the. problems con.
fronting both consumers and pro-
ducers in 1914.
The meeting will begin promptly
at p. m. with a band concert by
the L. OF VI. Concert Band under
the direction of William d. Revelle
and close with the motion picture
