Reduction of passenger fares be- tween Seattle and Alaska and be- tween points within Alaska, was announced by Pan American World Airways' Pacific-Alaska Di- vision, effective yesterday.
 Present fares will be reduced from five to seventeen percent, J. w. White. regional manager at Seattle said.
 Two Douglas DC-3s have been added to the Alaska fleet, due to increased traffic, providing addi- tional schedules between key northern cities and Seattle.
 "The fare reductions are part of Pan Americans long range pro- gram to offer constantly improved service at rates consistent with in- creased traffic." the manager de- clared. We are pleased to be able to make these reductions in the face of soaring prices and rising operational costs"
 Half fares for children two to twelve, infants free of charge and ten per cent reductions for round trips remain in effect with inaugu- ation of the reduced rates.
 More passengers were flown be. tween Seattle and Alaska during the first nine months of this year than during any comparable peri cd of Pan Americans l4 years O. northern service, White declared

.U. s. Fleet ToVisit
 Near Eastern Ports

WASHINGTON. (P) - United States warships, making their third excursion into the politically troubled waters of the eastern Mediterranean, will visit both Turkish and Greek ports in the next few weeks.
 The navy announced today, that arrangements have been com pleted by the state department for U. $. naval forces now in the Med iterranean, or en route there. to make visits to various ports incl dent to training exercises during the latter part of November and early December"
 It was learned that both Secre- tary of State Byrnes and Under Secretary Dean Acheson had okayed the cruise.
 State department officials. how ever, could shed no light on why they gave the warships the green light to make calls virtually in the back yard of the Soviet Union only a few days after the depart ment had asked the army to post pone a projected round-the-world flight by a fleet of B-29 superfort bombers.
 Both Turkey and Greece cur rently hold international atten- tion-Turkey because, of her Dar- danelles dispute with Russia and Greece because of the small scale civil war in her northern area near the Yugoslavian border.
 Although the announcement re- ferred to the visits as being "inci- dent to ,trainins exercises" the September 30 statement by Secre- tary of Navy Forrestal was re- called.
 At that time, the cabinet mem Der said United States navy forces were being maintained in the east ern Atlantic and Mediterranean for two specific purposes: to sup port allied occupation forces and the allied military government; to protect United States interests and to support United States poh- cies in the area"

Davis Appointed To Important Post
In IS. Department OF Agriculture

Appointment of James P. Davis,
former field representative of
the Agricultural Adjustment
Agency, to the post of an admin
istrative officer of the Field Ser
vice Branch of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture was announc-
ed last week by Southern Re-
sional Director c. D, Walker.
Mr., Davis, who was with the
AAA from 1885 to l945, will have
as his first assignment the i'm
portant job of assisting farm
leaders in acquainting farmers
with the protection offered their
cotton crop through Federal Crop
insurance. After the close of the
crop insurance sales campaign,
ne will assist leaders in acauaint-
ing farm and non-farm people
with the need for, provisions,
and detectives of the agricultural
conservation and other programs
administered by the Field Ser
vice Branch.
Director Walker says that Mr..
Davis will have his headquar-
tiers in Little Rock, and will travel
throughout the nine States form

ing the Southern Region during
the next three months, inform
ing rural groups how they may
insure their cotton crop.
Crop insurance is relatively
new Government program. 1t
was in l939-shortly after the dis
asterous drouths of 1894 and
l936-that a program of federal
insurance was passed by the
Congress to help protect famr-
ers against ruinous crop losses
due to unavoidable hazards.
Wheat was the first crop to be
covered; in 1912 cotton was add
ed to the list. Last year the
program covered wheat, cotton,
and flax; corn and tobacco were
covered on a trial basis in a few
selected counties. Experimental
coverage of these two latter
crops is continued this year in
a few counties.
Because winter wheate was not
insurable in 1945, cotton grow
ers were the largest group farm
ers to insure their crop last
year. Of the 100000 farms COW
cred by crop insurance, $4,000
were cotton farms.

C. TOWNS

Dear Friend:
This is just little advice to
our friends throughout all parts
of the city who ride the street
cars and buses. Let us not make
those who ride with us feel so
embarrassed by publishing our
weeks routine in loud voice
in the presence of other passeng
ers, Let us listen more and
talk less so that we may learn.
While standing on crowded
cars or buses, let us not bend
over with our back in some one
else's face and engage in con-
versation.
When waiting for a car, or bus,
or what not, always get your
fare out. Have the correct
change as far as possible. When
you get yuor transfer don't de-
post it in handbag or in your
stocking, and then hold up the
traffic while you hunt for 1t
when you board the next bus or
car.
Please remember that we as
a group, race, or citizens of the
state of Arkansas, don't own
any street cars, or buses. Let
us not fail to adjust ourselves
to provisions that have been Of
fered us.
/ wish everyone would show
this column to five other read
ers and instruct them to buy the

it. See me at 902ha Apperson

cept Sunday for anything you

Gone is the face we loved so

Silent is the voice we loved to

Too far away for sight or

But not too far for thoughts to
reach.
Sadly missed by Daddy,
Mother and brothers.
