Mckinley Park Hotel Has Big Season

MCKINLEY PARK HOTEL - Guests have filled the hotel here almost to capacity for the past three months, the hotel. manage ment reported.
 The government-own hotel can accommodate about 150 guests. The facility has enjoyed the best year since before the war. The Alaska Railroad, owner of the hotel, operates convenient sched- ules out of both Fairbanks and Anchorage to Mckinley Park al- most daily.
 With an air.strip close by, the hotel has also received "airborne" business.
 Spring was late in arriving at Mckinley The National Park Serv- ice headquarters here recorded a record 9S inches of snow last April Two inches of snow fell in the park area last week.
 Containing 3,030 square miles, Mckinley Park reserve is the sec ond largest American national fo.- est. The preserve is the abode of 1l2 different types of bi"ds-60 of whom nest in the park-and 35 different types of animals. The willow ptarmigan and the caribou are not found in any other na- tional reserve.
 Rowing caribou herds leave trails through the tundra. The park is the home of the handsome Dall sheep. Inside the preserve may be found grizzly, moose, red fox. mar mot, squirrel, porcupine. wolver- inc, wolf, lynx, coyote. beaver, marten, mink, snoWshoe hare apd Alaska cony.
 Visitors frequently mistake the short billed gulls for sea gulls" and express wonder at seeing the bird 300 miles from the ocean. The elusive surf bird, which winters as far away as the Straits of Magel- Ian in South America, can be spot ted in the Mckinley Park area.

White spruce, white birch, cot tonwood, quaking aspen, and will low abound.
 Sports fishing can be enjoyed in the park. The hardy grayling- scrapper-can. be caught in Triple Lake and Savage River. Mackinaw trout and rainbow trout can also be taken.
 Ninety miles of gravel road run from the hotel to Kantishna, the heart of an important mining area. Dominating the reserve is 2O,3OO- foot high Mount Mckinley, high est peak on the North American continent. Two satellites, 15,O00- foot Mount Hunter and 17,0OO- foot Mount Foraker, flank Me Kinley.
 The railroad operates bus tours to Camp Eielson, 66 miles west of the hotel. From here on clear days, Mckinley shines bright and white, 30 miles away.
 The reserve, strangely, has two different types of climate - de- pending on which side of the mountain range one is on. The in- land side has short, hot sum- mers and long. cold winters with little precipitation. On the side draining into the Pacific Ocean, the summer endures longer, but is cooler. The winter is warmer with much more rainfall.

In my way of thinking, no other system of saw ing money has yet been devised that will equal this plan.

A State Department tradition
against using plain, everyday Ian
guage in its formal announcements
was shattered last night.
The departments young Foreign
Service Institute linguistic scien-
fists did it.
In teaching foreign languages to
people going abroad for the Gov
ernment, they emphasize learning
to talk the way ordinary people do.
They put that principle to work
in writing an announcement about
a new course, released to the press
last night.
In sharp contrast to the usual
gobbledygook of diplomatic double
talk in State Department press re-
leases, this one used the language
of the man in the street, cliches
and all.
1t said the Foreign Service Insti-
tue, which for the past year has
gone all out" to provide instruction
in some SO languages for overseas
personnel, has launched a course
in a real 'toughie-Arabic."
THE textbook is tossed out the
window" in this new course, the
announcement added. Five foreign
service officers taking the six-month
course are concentrating on the
spoken language, with the objec-
tive of speaking Arabic as the Arab

Cream Style, Whole Kernel, or
Corn-on-the-Cob-you can have your
own home canned corn in variety for
winter use. More corn will be canned
this year, due to the fact that more
pressure cookers are available. Most
home Gamers prefer to use pressure
cookers for canning corn because it
keeps so much better and time is
saved too. Be sure the gauge of
your cooker is accurate.
Always can corn fresh from the
garden or truck patch. 1t must not
have been gathered the previous day
and stood overnight. The kernels
should be plump, shiny and full of
milk-like juice.
To can corn Cream Style, cut tip
ends from the kernels and scrape out
the pulp. Add one teaspoon salt and
two cups boiling water to each quart
of corn. Boil three minutes. Pour
into hot Ball Jars. Process 100 min
utes at 10 pounds pressure.
For Whole Kernel canning, cut
the corn from the cob and do not
scrape. Add one teaspoon salt and
two cups boiling water to each quart

corn. Boil three minutes. Pour into
hot Ball Jars. Process 10 minutes at
10 pounds pressure. Whole Kernel
corn usually has better color, flavor,
and keeping qualities than cream
style, according to the Ball Blue
Book, from which these directions
are taken.
To can Corn-on-the-C Cob, boil the
corn five minutes and@pack into hot
Ball Jars, adding oneF teaspoon salt
to each quart. Cover with boiling
water. Process rs minutes at 10
pounds pressure. Many like to put
up Corn-on-the-Cob because it is a
novelty. However, it tends to alb
sorb the flavor of the cob.
Pint jars are preferable and be
sure to add one and one-quarter cups
of boiling water to each four cups
of Whole Kernel and two cups of
boiling water to each four cups of
Cream Style corn. This facilitates
heat penetration and helps prevent
the corn turning brown. You can
add one-half teaspoon salt and a
little sugar, if you wish. Can either
field or sweet corn, as you prefer,
and CT it when it is FRESH

These last few days before Christ

probably have things pretty well in
hand by now.
But what about your Christmas
tree? You can't start too early at

about an inch, diagonally, Of the
bottom Of the trunk. Then stand
the tree at once In q container Of
water and keep the water level
above the edges Of the cut during
the entire time the tree is In the
house. Even If the tree isn't to be
set up at once, keep 1t, still standing
in water. in = cool place unal you
are ready to trim it. And q further
caution! Check your string Of lights
carefully for worn spots in the
insulation before they 60 on the

cords, be sure they don't run under
the rug or over . nail. And keep
the tinsel away from sockets to
reduce fire hazards. An ounce of
prevention remember!
When you buy your supply Of
fruits I think you'll find q little
extra stretch in your poor over
worked food dollar because all
fruits are more reasonable this
year than last. Even those delicious
Anjou pears are cheaper than q
year ago. OF course, you don't ex-
pect out-of season fruits to fall
