Greetings Herald
Norway New Year

OSLO.-In a New Years Day
address relayed to the United
States via the Columbia Broad
casting System, King Haakon of
Norway expressed his thanks and
the gratitude of his people for aid
received from abroad since lib
Grafton. Speaking in English, the
King stressed the significance of
the gifts which have streamed into
Norway from nearly every country
IN the world and directed q warm
and personal thanks for this direct
support to Norways reconstruc-
tion
Earlier. on New Years Eve,
Crown Princess Martha had adj
dressed special greeting to Nor
ways wives and mothers praising
them for their role as bulwarks
of the Home Front and calling for
continued courage during the re-
construction period.
A third New Years radio mes
sage by Norwegian Prime Min
lister Einar Gerhardsen outlined
progress during the past year and
problems which the Norwegian
people will face during 1947. Re-
ferring to the labor scene, he
noted, During 1916 the greatest
single wage revision in Norway's
history was carried through with
hardly single strike or lockout" y
Continuing, he pointed out that
Norwegian labor has volunteered
nearly 200 900 extra hours of over
time for the production of mater
ials badly needed for reconstruc-
ton. The fact that private con-
sumption during 1916 was double
that of 1914. was characterized by
The Prime Minister as an infallible
measure of progress. Increased
home production of building ma
terials, especially cement, bricks,
and timber products was termed
the quickest solution to import de-
lays which have hereto slowed the
building program.
In conclusion. Prime Minister
Gerhardsen issued straight from
the shoulder" call for increased
production. we must produce
more goods for our own consump-
ton" he emphasized. "as well as
more goods for export The way
toward a higher standard of liv-
ing for individuals in country and
city is through increased produc-
ton resulting in lower prices. -
4 While there was every reason to be
satisfied with the past year, he
warned against a false sense OF
self-satisfaction and solemnly re-
minded his listeners that Norways
/ reconstruction has merely begun.

ENGINEERS REJECT
 PRINCE OF WALES PROJECT

SEATTLE = The benefits which would be derived from making a channel across Prince of Wales Is land to eliminate the long water route around Cape Cbaeon would be definitely insufficient to justify the high cost of constructing the shortcut. according to announce ment made in Portland ny Colonel Theron D. Weaver of the Corps of Engineers.
 The reporting officers on the proposed project, he says. srecom- mend that d detailed survey of the proposed improvement not be made at this time. A public hearing on the project Was leld in Ketchikan June 25 last year.

Alaska costs.

Alaska costs.
 For example. a flight in an Eastern Airline plane from Miami to san Juan. the capital of Puerto Rico, costs S53.I0. The trip from Seattle to Ketehikan costs s60.00. The flight from Miami to San Juan is over a distance of 1,04O miles as compared with only 656 miles for the Seattle Ketehikan journey Every time a mile speeds by the air traveller bound from Seattle to Ketehikan pays .0914 cents. with the round trip at .0S23 cents. From Seattle to Juneau the distance S g13 miles and the fare is S75.0U. This is still considerably less than the distance from Miami to San Juan, but the fare is roughly half again as much and on mileage basis it is .0S21 cents for the one way trip and .O743 cents for the round trip The one way rate from Miami to San Juan is .051 cents a mile.
 By using two different lines from Seattle to Anchorage, the traveller will cover I,4S3 miles at cost of S12O.00 one way or $216 for the round trip. Cautiously. if he elects to take a nonstop plane to Anchorage from Seattle, he will travel only 1.442 miles but the ! cost will be identical.
 Prom Seattle to Fairbanks the ! distance is calculated at 1,579 miles The fare is S13O for one way passage lacking only S5 as much as Pan American charges On the 2,89S mile flight from San Francisco to Honolulu and the round trip is S234 or only $9 less than Pan Americans round trip fare from San Francisco to Hawaii. The Fairbanks bound passengers rn one way flight will have paid .0S22 cents per mile and .O74s cents per mile for the round trip. while the one way passenger uo Honolulu will have paid only .0469 cents per mile and the round trip | passenger .0402 cents.
 There is another great inequity. If you are at Minneapolis and de- sire to fly via Northwest Airliues 10 Anchorage. you will save time. [ but no money, by taking the short lest route through Edmonton. II costs you just the same, down to the last penny, to take the roun . about course of flying first to Seattle and thence to Anchorage. Ir each case tEe one way fare is I$2OO.50 and the round trip fare l $376.S0.
 An Eastern Airlines plane may he boarded at Washington for San Juan. 2,449 miles away. and the trip be made at a cost of .O424 cents a mile or a total cost of S104.40.. This is roughly the same
 distance as from Minneapolis to i Anchorage via Edmonton, but the cost of the latter trip is almost e1- aetly double.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the operators have from time to time made some reductions in fares it would seem timely now that, in few of the very much lower rates

BARTLETT DEPL0REs
 EXCESSIVE PLANE FARES
 TO TERRITORY OF ALASKA

WASHINGTON - Noting that airplane fares from the mainland to Hawaii dropped sharply with the opening of competitive service, Delegate E. L. Bartlett has de plored the fact that competitive service to Alaska has not brought comparable savings 10 Alaskan travellers.
 United Airlines started operat- ing to the Island May l, he said, and established a fare of Sl35.UO one way. Pan American, which formerly had a monoply on air ser vice to the Islands, immediately met this competitive challenge by dropping its rates from $195.00 to S135.O0. When I was informed ot this, I made a general investiga- tion of the rates to Hawaii, to Puerto Rico and to Alaska and learned to my amazement that there is appalling discrimination d. gainst the person desiring to tray el to or from Alaska by air In every case that person must pay far more per mile than does tine air traveller to the other territor- ies, where the cost Of maintenance and the cost of fuel are certainly at least roughly comparable to the

Uncle Sam Thinks Four
Leaf Clovers Are Lucky

You may have wondered why il
you find one four-leaf clover you
will soon find another nearby, as
likely as not If these leaves were
traced back to their creeping stems
they would be found usually to orig
mate in one plant But here is
another odd point: if the whole
plant tremendous roots and all.
were unearthed and separated from
other plants it would probably re-
veal some leaves divided into three,
some into four, and some into FIVE,
six, or even seven leaflets.
A public exhibit in the patio of
the u. S. Department of Agriculture
building in Washington will set forth
these findings.
But the gospel of clover for luck,
beginning ages ago, has long been
preached by our agricultural ex-
perts. For instance, in 1896 clover
and-prosperity meetings were held
in ia Missouri counties. In that
year in Alabama more than 8,000,-
600 pounds of clover and other win
ter-legume seeds were planted.
The benefits to the farmer include
enriching the soil for subsequent
crops when the clover, roots and
stubble, or green manure" is turned
under the sod, and providing excel.
lent pasture for livestock. In Vir.
ginia the regular turning under Of
one variety Of clover for five years
increased the annual corn yield
from a maximum Of 18 bushels per
acre to so bushels. Similar results
in various states prove that the
farmer who plants clover can grow
his own luck.
