Nicaragua. They had combined
with ground rescue teams to res

on May %.
Three days after the incident
occurred, the seth troop carrier
squadron sent the first OF the Wo
"Packets", loaded with a Sikorsky
helicopter from the air rescue
service, to Managua to aid IN the
rescue.
Four days later another C-S2
followed loaded with a smaller
Bell helicopter used by the SIND
Airborne division. TechnlclanS
and extra pilots were sent to keep
the planes flying continuously IN
oder to effect speedy rescue.
Upon arrival in Managua, Nc
aragua, the "Copters" were as
sembled and sent into the inter-
ior of the jungle, $50 miles away
to a strip known as Alimocombra'
This landing strip was the nome
of the air rescue party for the
next two weeks.
From this advance base in the
heart of the Central American

missions until all but one OF the

The farmer Jared we'll in 1947,
so we'll that the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics expects him to net
$18 900 100000 by the close OF the
year. This would be about one-flfth
more than last year.
His gross income this year, includ-
ing home consumption and the
rental value of dwellings, in addition
to cash receipts, is estimated at $34,-
600 100000, while production ex-
penses are estimated at $16,600, ,000,-
900. The two last items also are
about one-fifth greater than last
year.
The bureau said cash receipts from
farm marketings this year are ten
tatively estimated at 10000, 900 900,
or % per cent above last year. With
Government payments of about
$340, 900 900. cash receipts this year
should total about $50, 300, ,000, 900. or
19 per cent more than last year.
Government payments this year,
the bureau said, are about so per
cent below last year largely because
of the expiration of the production
payment program for dairy products,
beef cattle and sheep and lambs on
June 30, 1916.
American farmers marketed about
3 per cent more products this year
than last. Marketings of livestock
were about the same, while crop
marketings were higher, rejecting
the sale of the 1916 record corn crop,
the huge wheat crop this year and
the relatively good cotton crop.
The bureau pointed out that while
the total marketings of farm COM
modities did not change greatly
from last year. prices for farm prod
ucts gained an average of 19 per
cent. During the first six months,
the bureau added, higher prices ac-
counted for about three-fourths Of
the 80 per cent gain in cash receipts.

A question came in few days ago
about a subject which was very
much in the public eye two years
ago. That is e-en1ployment Of vet
Grams under section Of the Old
Selective Service Act.
The United States Department OF
Labor handles unemployment now,
but there has been no change in the
unemployment provisions-return-
ing veterans are entitled to their
old job without loss of pay, status OF
seniority for a period OF one year.
provided they apply for their old job
within 80 days of discharge and can
perform their duties.
The Department of Labor tells
me these unemployment provisions
will stay in effect until such termlt
nation date as Congress may effect
by joint resolution" That means
that any one who enlists today, or
who re-enlists, or who still is in the
service, will be eligible for re-em-
ployment rights no matter when he
or she gets discharged. And every
one who enlists in the future-just
SO long as it happens before that
Joint resolution-wiu also be eligible
for unemployment rights no matter
when he gets discharged.
The question I received was: do
veterans who 60 back to their old
jobs have any special rights after
their first year of re-empIoyment
Is over?"
The answer is-No. Your local
State employment ofiice is the place
to 60 to find out more about your
Unemployment rights. Ask to see
the staff officer there.

Christmas Trees
Safer in Water

Christmas trees may be kept re-
sistant to fire If placed in water
as soon as cut and left there
until discarded after the holidays.
George w. Trayer, chief of the
Forest Products Divisions of the
Forest Service, said the water
method is preferable to the use Of
flre-resistant chemicals.
The tree should be cut diagonally
and placed in container with the
water level maintained above the
top of the cut.
Freshly cut trees standing in
water cannot be ignited by candles
or match fires, but. Of course, will
not Withstand a large source OF

Disease Outbreak
In Cattle Reported

M. L. Dalton, assistant animal
husbandman for the Virginia Ex-
tension Service, has reported an
outbreak of anaplasmosis, cattle
disease, in Central Virginia. Six
teen casualties recently were re-
ported in~one purebred herd In the
Eastern section of the State.
The disease may be partially con-
trolled by the use of DDT in killing
ticks and other insects. Instru-
ments used in dehorning or other
surgical operations on cattle should
be thoroughly sterilized.

Air Food for Trees

Ordinary trees receive about 80
per cent of their nutrition from the
air, 10 per cent from the soil. Trees
"eat" carbon with their leaves and
drink water with their roots. An

about $4,000 pounds of water on q

Paper cartons, wood boxes. bushel
baskets and barrels have been found
very satisfactory. Store the con-
tainers as far away from the fur
mace as possible. A temperature Of
40 to so degree is best. Do not
cover stems or stalk with wet pack
ing material as this is conducive
to crown rot.
After the clumps of roots have
been stored for about two or three
weeks examine them. If decay has
set in trim out any decayed parts
and dust with sulphur. Leave ex-
posed to the air for two or three
days before repacking. If the roots
show signs of shriveling moisten q

Shriveling and crown rot are the

"Alaskan Children Run Wild' Says
 Child Psychologist

SEATTLE, (P) "A very dan gerous trend" in Alaskan juvenile delinquency, sometimes with vio- lent manifestations, was reported today by Howard E. Polleys, child psychologist who formerly was with the New York police depart ment.
 He returned to the States yes terday after a year of teaching at Matanuska and juvenile consult ant work with Anchorage police.
 Children are in the way up there," he said. Parents farm them out to homes where they run wild, just so they (the parents) can take positions where they can make more money"
 In the absence of proper recre- ational facilities, he said, the prob lem children were indulging in car thefts. He told of one case in which four 15-year-olds stole a jeep and then chopped it up with an ax so they wouldn't be found out"
 The Territory is without reform atory or correctional institutions.

Round World Solo Flight Ends Near Start

CHICAGO, (P)-William BilD Odom, who took off on a project ed around-the-world solo speed flight Monday, was back on his home airport yesterday after hay ing flown one-siXth of the intend ed mileage.
 Shortly after passing over Hali- fax, Nova Scotia, in his 4,000- horsepower, twin-engined plane, the former British ferry command pilot said his ailerons jammed and he was forced to turn back.
 He landed on the Chicago air port at 1l:55 central daylight time Monday night, hours and 24 minutes after the take-off. He said he probably would leave again to- day in another attempt to halve the round -the-World solo record of l86 hours set by the late Wiley Post in the famed single-engined "Winnie Mae" monoplane in 1883.
 The 27-year-old pilot said he had covered about one-siXth of the projected flight or more than 5000 miles of his 19,60O-mile route in the trip to Nova Scotia and back.
 Although his take-off at 2:31 pm. Monday appeared to observ- CTS on the airport to be smooth and easy, he reported upon his return that "I very nearly cracked up." He said that the heavy load of 2,460 gallons of gasoline dis turbed the stability" of the con- verted A-26 army bomber as he lifted it into the air.
 On his next attempt, he said, he would carry lighter fuel. load and make his first stop at Gander, Newfoundland, instead of Paris.
 The plane in which Odom at tempted the solo record is the one in which he, Milton Reynolds, and T. Carroll Callee circumnavigated the globe in 78 hours, 551a minutes last April.

Salmon Pack
 Almost Doubles Last Years Pack

O(P) Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, (P)-Milton C. James, Assistant director of the Fish and Wildlife service, said yes terday the big fish news from Alaska is the rather good" Bris- tol Bay salmon pack-l 400, ,O00 cases, almost double last years catch.
 James, back from a tour ol Alaska fisheries, expressed ccu- cern at the destruction wrought by forest fires along a 70-mile front on the Kenai peninsula. in the heart of Alaska'S big game coun- try.
 "The fires destroyed hundreds of thousands of acres of timber, and threw up smoke so thick as to halt airplane operations in the Anchorage area" James told a re- porter.
 "We are particularly concerned over the effect upon game animals, particularly moose. We have men in the area, checking the results of the tremendous holocaust. Until we have their reports, we can make no estimate of the Wildlife loss"
 James said the large Bristol Bay catch reflected a large escapement resulting from the suspension Of northern Alaska fishing in 1922, after the outbreak of war. The red or sockeye salmon has a five-yea- life cycle.
 By contrast, the pink salmon. of Southeastern Alaska has a two- year cycle. Furthermore, South eastern Alaska fisheries continued to operate during the war even af- ter northern fisheries were cut off.
 The Southeastern Alaska run had barely started when I left," James said.
 Tt. presented a varying picture from fairly good to fair prospects.
 "All in all, there is every likeli- hood for a total salmonpack for Alaska materially larger than last year but perhaps not greater than the 10-year overage."
 James devoted most of his Alas kan tour to the Anchorage, Kodi- ak and Bristol Bay areas. The agency has seven planes and IA patrol boats in Territorial waters, he said, and recently has expand ed it's inter-district radio commun- ications.
