Children Arrive
At Hipass Camp

Ice cream was a welcome sight
to LOT children who crossed the
desert Sunday in open dump trucks
to start their vacation at HipaSS
Health camp.

Donald Cowan saved the situation
by donating three of his dump
trucks, two for passengers and one
for luggage, R. P. OStrander, preSi-
dent of the Hipass Health Camp
corporation said.
The trip necesSitated three stops
for drinks of water and each time

trander and Mrs Earl Roberts of
Calexico who rode with the chill

Glass Fiber Used

WASHINGTON, July 9. CUP>-
The navy plans to use large guam
tiles of glass fiber as a substitute

Most Of the kapCk used to date

Of radishes as a spring. summer

are generally considered Just a

the correct varieties for growing

spring. others In mld-season and
still others require late paintings.
Among the latter are three va

types and olive-shaped varieties.
