So, King-Sized Snails
Are The Latest Peril

Boston - Ravenous, mammoth
snails that multiply faster than rab-
bits are threatening to swarm over
the United States, a scientist warn
ed today.
University Of Arizona zoology AL
bert R. Mead said ''untold millions"
of dollars in damage to agriculture
may be caused by the giant African
snails-each six inches long, pound
in weight and as big around as an
orange.
Writing in the August Atlantic
Monthly, Mead said the snails have
'hitchhiked" from Asia to Califor-
mia on returned war equipment and
may swarm hungrily into the attrac-
tive climate Of the Gulf Region and
southeastern states as they gnaw
their way around the world.
Rabbits? Pikers, scoffed Mead
who reported conservative" esti
mates that a single African snail
could give rise to nearly 100000
descendants in five years.
Every snail is an egg g-producer
and lays up to 300 in batch, he
said.
Eat? Mead said the snails will eat
anything pigs will, and more be-
sides-including each other, at
times
He said the king-sized snail ap-
parently originated on the east
coast Of Africa.
It first was found on Mauritius,
an island between Madagascar and
India. Next stop was India. Then
Ceylon, Singapore, Borneo, Suma-
ira, Java, China, Formosa and parts
Of Hawaii were infested by billions
of the armored gluttons.

Do you know he is writing other
girls or is it just rumor? Before
you decide, it would be wise to
check and find out if he really has
been telling all of you girls the same
thing.
Certainly, it would be silly
thing to sit down and wait for some
one who is just having fun writing
several girls the same Cline"
Unless l could trust boy and be
pretty sure of him, would hate to

l will be sixteen very soon. l have
been writing to boy who is in the
Army. He writes me very often and
has asked me to wait for him and be
true. will be about eighteen when
he gets out and he will be about
nineteen.
l understand that he is writing
other girls back home and about the
same thing. I don't date very often
because MON and dad are rather

What do you suggest for me?
Keep on being true or have dates

what you ever saw in him Or her
+. to love.
Dear Louisa:
l am eighteen years old and am
very lonesome. -
l live close to a boy whom I love
very much. We were going togeth-
er regularly until he broke a date
with me one Saturday night. He
wouldn't tell me why and said he
still loved me but 1 found out that
he has another girl. He never asks
me to 60 with him any more. He is
! the incest boy I have ever met and
now since he doesn't come to see
me anymore, I don't care to go any
where.
How can l win him back?
Lonesome-Va.
Answer:
| The best thing you can do is to
=, try to get him out of your mind.
There is nothing deader than dead
love and it is very hard to get a
/ lover back once he has departed of
his own accord.
If you had disagreed about some
thing or had a quarrel, there might
be a chance of patching things up
but when man just stops and starts
going with someone else, there is
very little you can do.
He may, of course, come to real
ize that he is not so crazy about
the new girl and come back to you

Racial Discrimination
Is Banned in Iran,
Shah Tells Reporters

ANN ARBOR. Mich. Nov. 26.-
The Shah Of Iran declared today
racial discrimination has never
existed in our country and never
will"
The 30-year-old monarch made
the comment at a press confer
ence after he was awarded an
honorary doctor of civil law de-
gree at the University Of Michigan.
The Shah was asked to COM
ment on report from Teheran
that measures taken against Iraqi
subjects would affect Jews, be-
cause of $500 Iraquis now in Iran.
all but 80 Of them Jews.
Mistreatment Charged.
Iraq recently has been accused
by Israel of mistreating Of Jewish
residents. The Shah said he knew
nothing about this. He pointed out
his country has no relations with
Israel. -
In Teheran, Bahram Shahrokh,
director general Of propaganda,
told newsmen measures taken
against Iraqi subjects in Iran are
only political retaliation for
measures taken against Iranian
subjects in Iraq."
Mr.. Shahrokh said, Tran will
henceforth take retaliatory action
against any foreign government
who behaves insultingly and dis
criminatingly against ranian ma
tionals."
Mr.. Shahrokh was asked by
newsmen about the Jewish ques-
ton. He replied, I'VE hate to
throw them in the lions cage, but
we are forced to take action to de-
fend the rights Of 100000 Iranians
in raq." 49,
The Iranian ruler told report
ers here he was mot very positive
about the details of the dispute
but that it was very small prob

volved not more than 40 persons.
- Sent Across Border.
The refugees, he said, had been
sent across the border into Iran.
I'VE never refuse harbor and ref
uge to any one" he added.
The Shah described the situa-
ton as a "two-way action" but
did not amplify that.
The monarch had no comment
on a report that Radio Moscow
recently had ben inciting Iranians
to revolt during his tour of the
United States. !
In his speech accepting the hon.
orary degree here, the ruler of the
oil-rich country on Russia's south
ern border made plea for world
peace. He emphasized Trans
friendship with the United States
and said I'VE wish it now to be-
come closer than ever" i

Farmers Want Veq't'bIes Graded

The establishment of definite standards for Alaska for the grading of vegetables was favor ably discussed at meeting held here last week, attended by G. w. Gasser, commissioner of ag- riculture, Clyde Sherman, in charge of experimental vegeta- ble breeding at the Fairbanks station, Parker Lester, Extension agent, and Valley farmers.
 MT. Gasser discussed proposed grading standards, to open the meeting. MT. Lester then out lined the background of mar keting grades in the states. Rep resentative farmers were asked to voice an opinion on whether standards should be established, and if so, whether Department of Agriculture standards alone should be accepted for Alaska.
 A representative of the Mata- nuska Valley Farmers Cooper ating Association said the Coop would be in favor of established grading standards. Charles Schaefer, speaking for Valley farmers, also favored a grading plan.
 It was decided that the group would meet again next week, to further study the matter. Date of next weeks meeting was in- definite at press time.

Hospital Digs For SoIoble Items

Faced with the immediate need for the purchase of still more hospital equipment, members of the board of directors of the Valley Hospital Association last week decided to dispose of some of the surplus property now owned by the Association.
 Board President James Wilson said the purchase of an incu- bator- -reSuscitator and new ether equipment was urgently needed. Some surplus kitchen equipment, not now used by the hospital, will be sold, and probably one of the hospital-owned nsets, he stated.
 There has been some discus sion of the sale of Quonset hut between hospital board members and fair board members. The hoSpital-oWned Quonsets are now set up on the fair grounds, where they were used last year as ex- hibit halls. MT. Wilson said that if plans for sale are completed, details will be worked out so that the coming fair will not suffer a housing shortage. It is thought that any possible purchaser may be willing to wait to take posses sion until after Sept. 6.
 Board members met informally with Manager Janet Mills at MT. Wilson's home on Sunday eve ming. Miss Mills arrived in the Valley last Saturday, and is now being introduced to her new du- ties at the Valley Hospital. She officially assumed the manager ship on August 1.
