 Even as Christians, with Arab guns guarding the way, trudged the path Christ is believed to have walk ed to the cross, British troops nov ed out of Jerusalem in an attempt to halt Arab attacks on Jewish con- voys along the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv read.
 There was no slackening of tension elsewhere in international affairs.

GUESSING ON ICE k0vEMENT, KENANA IS POPULAR SPORT

With April at midnight, the last day on which to guess when the Nenana ice breaks up, the Em- pire would like to offer last min ute information to the local brow benders.
 First, past records indicate that since founding in 19l7 the most popular date for the ice move has been May II, which has four times been the date. Other dates to be considered, April 30 and May 3, have been three-times correct. However, ice breaking dates have ranged from mid-April to mid May, with last years breakup com ing on May, 3.
 Another item to be considered is the care in making gueases. In single year of the past, judges have been faced with 40 guesses marked April 31, others with no indication of a. m. or D. m., "A without a month designation, 3o failing to designate any time, 15 without a day, and then there were those who submitted complete blanks.
 Most outstanding, and almost fatal, of the officials headaches occurred in 1887 when the award was valued at $75,000 with no one guessing the right minute. A card with nothing more than Buster on the face, was the next closest entry with 8:03 D. m. It was then up to Marvin E. Buster" Ander- son to convince judges that he was "the" Buster of all Alaskan Bust CTS. He succeeded, but only after several times considering a short stay in the psychopathic ward.
 The most popular dates for guess ing in the past have been April 30 and May 2, 3, 4, 5, G. and ?, which were the choices of approximately 5000 persons in 1946. But disre- garding carefully compiled statis- tics and tossing anything the meteorologist might have said to the wind, date selections have ranged from February ' to Novem- Der IT. Who can say, someday such hunch might be worth S3,697 to some fortunate individual and en- rich the pockets of the internal revenue bureau by the remaining hundred thousand or so.
 And if you failed to paste it i'll your hat as suggested last May 3, the list below may be of some assistance as to when the ice may break:

Public Welfare Meeting Concludes

W returning to their homes after re- viewing proposed budgetary es- imates for programs for the next TWO years, said director of the de- partment,( R. c. Maynard.
 Those attending were Governor Ernest Gruening, chairman, Rev erend G. Edgar Gallant of Skag- way, Howard Lyng of Nome, Mrs. Evangeline Atwood of Anchorage. Mrs. M. Clifford Smith, Jr., of Fairbanks was unable to attend. Mrs. Atwood, wife of the pub fisher of the Anchorage Times, highlighted discussions and plan ming on child welfare. She heads community group known as the Anchorage Youth Council which is actively interested in fostering benefits for underprivileged chil- lrcn as well as organized recrea- tional projects for children. Mrs. 1 Atwood was recently appointed to he board by Governor Gruening and is an old-time Alaskan with an abiding interest in child and pub lie welfare.
 Director Maynard sadi that most significant were the board recom- mendations for legislative action that the present legal maximumS in the Old Age Assistance and Aid 10 Dependent Childrens programs should be modified upward in or der to permit the Department to make assistance payments in amounts more nearly meeting the lSGds.
 He pointed to the fact that infla- ton and high costs of living were working severe hardships among the aged and children, as well as o hers, under present maximums. Costs of services in other pro- grams have increased alarmingly, he pointed out.
 The board pointed to the hard ships experienced during the past eighteen months by needy persons because of insufficient funds and recommended that more ample funds be made available by the Legislature. Community regard and anxiety was amply indicated by many communications coming to the attentino of the board, it was stated.
 The board further drew atten- ton to the need for legislative ac
 ion to provide for Aid to the Blind. IL recommended that the Legislature give serious consider ation to a proposal to adopt such program which would be financed jointly by the Federal and Terri torial Governments. Limited sta tistics showed at least 300 blind persons in Alaska, and the Board uISeu tiidt idCI-lihoiiS PloSidili be initiated to determine the num- Der of persons suffering from blindness who were in need.
 All members of the board point ed to the increasingly difficult problem of administering public. welfare with inadequate funds and staff to meet the public demands, for service and assistance. Serious breakdowns in social responsibili- ties were increasing alarmingly with the abrupt economic changes taking place in Alaska, they stated,

cabbage. It is not humanity possible for
any one to eat more cabbage than those
folks eat They eat it the year round
boiled, sliced as slaw, preserved in brine
as sauerkraut. The Government is just
wasting time and money in handing out
cabbage propaganda in such q cabbage
conscious area.
This suggests that geographical consid-
erations should be taken into account in
formulating such educational campaigns.
There is no point in trying to sell Idahoans
on the food value of potatoes, nor in sug-
gesting to Bostonians that they try baked
beans for a change. All of these dishes
have their followers, of course, but even
their most ardent champions will not con-
cede that they are satisfactory substitutes
for juicy broiled steak or chop. If the
experts at the Department OF Agriculture
could only come up with some advice on
how to get a tender steak or chop at a
reasonable price, Mr.. Gross and his con-
stituents, no doubt, would be willing to
let bygones be bygones.
