NEW LAND CLEARING
METHOD SUCCESSFUL

In order to see if scrub pine could
be removed by winter clearing, Mr.
Frank Coombs, a cooperator with
the Tobacco Valley Soil Conser-
walton District, hired the District
RD7 bulldozer. Mr. Coombs had
in mind shaving the scrub pine at
the ground surface when both the
pines and ground were frozen. The
operation worked very satisfactor-
lily.
The bulldozer blade glides along
the frozen ground, taking all the
brush and trees before it. Trees
up to five inches in diameter were
easily snapped off at the ground.
All the debris was piled to facilitate
burning at a future date The clear
ed area will be seeded to pasture
grasses this fall
A considerable area of dense
scrub pines lies between Eureka
and the Canadian line, which can
be economically cleared for pas
ture. Winter clearing looks like
the answer. The dozer is able to
cover the ground rapidly and no
topsoil is disturbed. Grasses such
as Crested wheat, Slender wheat,
and Smooth bronze have proven
their adaptability to these soils.
These grasses supply a considerable
amount of forage per acre and are
utilized by all classes of livestock.

u. 5. Ready TO Reply
Today 70 YugosIavs'
Complaint on Trieste
By the Assoeioted Press

/ LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 10
The United States was report
ed ready today to give a de-
tailed reply to Yugoslavia's
Trieste. complaint.
A spokesman for the American
delegation said American Delegate
Philip c. Jessup planned to take the
floor shortly after the United Ma
tons Security Council meets.
The Trieste case was brought be-
fore the council last week when
Yugoslavia charged the. United
States and Britain with numerous
violations of the italian peace treaty
in administering their zone in the
free territory.
Yugoslavia said the two Western
powers had, in effect, already incor-
porated their zone into Italy by en-
tering into series of economic and
financial agreements with Italy.
Both the United States and Brit
ain took the position that they
had not violated the peace treaty,
although they are now convinced
the provisions regarding Trieste are
unavoidable.
Reds Accuse U. S., Britain.
The U. N. Commission for Con-
ventional Armaments will continue
its discussion Thursday morning.
Russia declared yesterday in the
commission that the United States
and Britain are wrecking U. N. talks
on arms reductions.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Jakob A. Malik made his charge
before the Armaments Commission
in q scathing attack on the two
western powers.
He was particularly bitter about
the United States, which, he said,
was steadily increasing its armed
forces while talking about slash
ing ornaments. This, Mr.. Malik
said, was undermining international
confidence.
Mr.. Malik declared the United
States and Britain already had
wrecked atomic control talks, dis
cussions on creation of a world po-
lice force and efforts to agree on
peace treaties for Germany and
Japan.
Now, he said, they are saying that
arms cannot be reduced until the
peace treaties are signed, atomic
controls are established and the
U. N. military force is set up.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Arrange-

The Metropolitan Opera Associa.

In announcing the cancellation
recently, the association said the
action was forced by new union de-

The newly-planned meeting was
requested by the union officials in g

board chairman, after a session oil

that the olympics came to an end

days has left me thinking.

congratulated each other, and
even kissed as is the custom in
some of the countries.
This warmness. which the ath-
letes displayed with such great
spontaneity, was soaked up, in
many cases Il hope) by the many
thousands of spectators who sat
there watching them. However,
such warmness, indirectly acquir-
ed, needs continuous rekindling.
Now, the thouhts in most of
our minds as we left that stadium
was, how much of that Olympic
spirit will carry over into LIES
situations throughout the world?
A difficult question to answer, l
know, but something worth giving
our thoughts to in preparing for
the next Olympics In Finland.
Personally. think tn Olympic
cemmitteeo should change their
closing ceremony. Instead of put
ting out the Olympic light to SYM
bolize the closing of the games
and lett II rest there, think an
other torch should be lighted, and
continue to burn throughout the
four-year interval between the
Olympic games.
This second torch need not only
burn between the Olympics: it
could be a perpetual torch SYM
bolizing something the world
needs, say - "Brotherly Love-"
Then from this "Brotherly Love"
torch the fire could be taken to
light the Olympic torch there
after.
And, while we are giving con-
structive criticism, it might be
wen to suggest that we get a
move under foot to start "Po-
litical Olympiad," in which all
the nations would come together
and debate their way of life on
the same friendly basis as in
playing games against one an
other. l assure you a lot of good
could come out of such a meeting.
Providing, of course, the disputes
and other differences arriving
could be settled the same as those
were settled by the XIV Olympiad
Dispute and Protest Committee.

New Building Soon
 To Get Under Way

A new 50x70-foot building, to be a one-story frame and stucco structure erected on concrete basement, will be begun on the lot next to the Shamrock Bakery within the next few days, it was revealed this week by owner Matt Perkins. Basement excava- tion will commence as soon as frost is out of the ground.
 MT. Perkins said he planned to construct the new building in such way that additional stories may be added later, if business conditions in Palmer warrant. He plans to use the quarters in the new building entirely as store space.
 If construction plans go ac- cording to schedule, the first ten ants will be moving into the new Perkins building within 60 days from the beginning of construc- tion.
