rooms after their arrival by train
and plane from Jamaica.
J. R. Ascot, father of Is children

Travelling with her brood, while

War Workers 10 Use
Tourist Camp Here as
Temporary Housing

Plans to provide temporary hous-
ing for war workers in the Wash
ington tourist camp in East Potomac
Park are now being worked out by
the Welfare and Recreation Asso-
citation and will be put into effect
as soon as the Army formally aban-
dons the area.
While the camp eventually will be
devoted to motoring visitors to the
Capital, present plans are to rent
as many of the 104 cabins as pos
sible on monthly basis to ease the
housing shortage. According to
Robert Ayers, deputy general man.
ager of the recreation association,
about 40 of the cabins are heated
and can be used for year-round
housing. An average of four per-
sons can be accommodated in each
cabin.
The tourist area comes under the
Jurisdiction of the National Capital
Parks Service and is operated on
| a contract basis by the recreation
association. The policy from now
until the end of the war, according
to Irving j. Root, superintendent
Iof National Capital Parks, will be
to accommodate "whomever comes
and wants housing"
when we find enough tourists
are coming to town again and need
accommodations we'll put time
limit on again" he said. Before
the war tourists were not permitted
to stay more than two weeks.
The Army already has vacated
the cabins, as well as the temporary
buildings which we're set up in the
trailer section of the camp These
temporary buildings are to be RACED
by the Army in the near future so
that the area can again be used
by visitors who want to park their
trailers.

ducted jointly by the University of Alaska and the U. s. Fish and Wild life Service, is the finding that a high percentage of halibut heads, otherwise waste material, may suc- cessfully be fed to mink.
 The finding was disclosed here yesterday by James R. Leekley bio- logist in charge of the experimental station. It is necessary, however, to supplement the feeding of halibut heads with necessary vitamins and minerals, he said. The feeding ex- periments are being continued.
 MT. Leekley also remarked on the large number of inquiries being re- ceived at his station from members of the armed forces who want to know about ways to make living in Alaska, following the war. We have received hundreds of them, y he declared, five or six times as many such inquiries during 1914 as during 1943."
 The biologist reported some pro- gress being made in current experi- ments toward crossing blue fox with white fox in an effort to develop Eelts of a light-blue color, which will bring g. higher market price. Chief difficulty encountered so far in the effort, he said, is that after the second generation white fox vii, predominate among the pups.
