kin until it has received con-
f1rmation of delivery of the mes
sage.

home in Alabama on August g.,

christmas Trees Heralding Holiday
Season To Appear On Market Soon

This years Christmas tree supply
in Bluffton will be adequate for the
local demand, altho priees-refecting
the general trend-nay be slightly
higher than last Yuletide, local
survey disclosed during the last
week.
Of the several dealers who thought
prices might be slightly higher this
winter, none said the increase is ex-
pected to be more than 10 per cent,
and the following average prices
likely will be in effect for a good
six-foot tree; s5 for Scotch pine; So
for Red Pine; and S1.25 to 1926 for
balsam.
With Christmas less than four
weeks away, the first trees are ex-
pected to make their appearances on
Bluffton markets within the next few
days, and some dealers report that
there already have been a surprising
number of inquiries.
Early buying of trees is not bad
idea, the Bluffton dealers said, for it
gives the shopper chance to take
his choice of the supply and he may
get much better tree as result.
About the only objection ever heard
regarding early buying is the fear
expressed that the needles will fall
off before the holidays.
Local handlers of trees point out
that the holiday supply of trees al
ready are cut, and that delaying buy
ing does not mean that anyone will
get a fresher tree. If tree is kept
outside the house following it's pur-
chase, the needles will stay on any
where from six weeks to several
months, far longer than needed to
keep it fresh thruout the holiday
season. :.
In addition to the favorite species
of Christmas trees-pine, spruce,
balsam and fir-several local dealers
this year also will carry the colored
trees which have become so popular
in recent years. In larger cities the
demand for colored trees has been un-
usually heavy, and the demand is ex-
pected to spread to smaller COM
munities this year.

Fires Threaten 2 Sections of Alaska
(By The Associated PreSS)

(By The Associated Press)
 The raging flames of two widely separated Alaska brush fires raced through a small Matanuska Valley community and threatened a fishing village on Kodiak Island Monday.
 Both fires still burned uncon- trolled at reports yesterday.
 A combination brush-f t blaze swept through Wasilla Flats in the Matanuska valley. It de- stroyed three sheds, a cabin and a barn, and threatened numerous other homes.
 Two below zero weather ham, pered a force of 200 men brought from the Elmendorf Air Force Base at Anchorage, 50 miles away.
 On Kodiak Island, flames fan ned by a strong wind advanced on 15-mile front toward the tiny village of Ahkiok. The village of 200 population was less than two miles from the flames. The million dollar canneries of Pacific Amer ican Fisheries and Libby y-McNeill & Libby also lie in the path of the fire.
 A force of 100 men was flown in hastily from the navy base at Kodiak to man the fire lines.

bers will vote tonight on final
peace terms in the 10-week strike

given special rule by the House
Rules Committee for one-hour de-

Europe Assembly Unit
To Act on Army Plan
In Atlantic Pact Setup
BY the Associofed Press

STRASBOURG, France. Aug
ga committee of the European
Consultative Assembly meets to-
day to approve steps to fit the
proposed European army into the
overall Atlantic pact setup.
The Assembly's security sub
committee agreed in principle
yesterday that the army and de-
fense minister. proposed by Win
ston Churchill. must be a pillar,
not a rival, of the pact.
Agreement came after the COM
mittee's member from the British
Labor Party boycotted the session.
One Labor delegate said his party
did not feel the Consultative AS
sembly has jurisdiction over such
matters.
This seemed to forecast a bitter
fight on the Assembly floor when
the army-defense minister pro-
posal comes up for public debate.
The Swedish and Irish delegates
also may oppose it, since neither
nation has signed the Atlantic
treaty.
One member of the security
subcommittee reported what he
termed a surprisingly strong feel
ing In the group that whatever
European nations do for defense
must rest on the Atlantic pact.

gates to take a narrow European
