 Red China rejected today the United Nations repeated appeals to negotiate for a cease-fire in Korea.
 It could mean war to the bitter end unless other means for peace can be found.
 The Peiping radio broadcast the statement of rejection by premier Chou En-Lai.
 It spurned the proposal of special JUN. assembly committee as rising Red attacks in western Korea prompted a warning by general MacArthur. that big new Chinese military offensive may be on' the way. :
 In, northeast Korea, evacuation of nearly; 25,Ooo frightened civil iarfs from the Red-besieged beach, head port of Hungnam was repor- ted by AP correspondent Tom Lambert.
 Close-range rocket ships, big naval guns and rtill CT y still shielded the small beachhead - the United Nations last foothold in North Korea.
 China's rejection of any talk to- ward a cease-fire was made in a six-point statement broadcast in Peiping and heard here.
 The Red premier-foreign minis ter said the three-man JUN. com mittee's appeal was unlawful" because Chinese communists did not participate in formation of the committee at the JUN. assembly.
 The committee had sent. the Peiping regime three requests to negotiate for a cease-fire-the last one Thursday night, New York time. ...,-,
 The United Nations general as- sembly at Lake Success set up the committee during a consideration of the Korean crisis.
 A Red Chinese delegations chief spoesman blasted the LIN. in a lengthy speech but it was not permitted to participate in the de cisions because Red China is not member. The Chinese left new York for home earlier this week.
 The Red attacks in western Ko- req started shortly before Chou's rejection of cease-fire dickering. The attacks indicate an all-out of fensive against JUN. forces could be expected almost any hour.
 Observers were guessing that Christmas Eve might be the sig nal for the new Red drive be- cause of the Oriental practice of striking on Occidental holidays.
 General MacArthur's late Fri day war summary said from 10 to 12 divisions have been identified along parallel 38, arbitary bound

WhyGroW
Old?
MRS. TOWNSEND.
By Josephine Lowmon

Mother is supposed to know
best and nine times out of ten she
does. Listen to her because she,
of all persons, has your best in
terest at heart. However, the fact
that marriage counselors and
family relation bureaus have
sprung overnight because of the
great need for them seems to in
dicate that daughter often needs
expert advice which mother in
unable to give.
It is too bad that there is still
so little intelligent training for
marriage, which is the most ind.
portant experience in the life Of
a man or woman. Certainly every
marriage should have the fluff
and romance which is due, but
marriage is more than this. It is
a partnership. welding of two
personalities, give and take prop
osition and should be founded
on sound companionship and a
wish to derive like values from
life.
Be that as it may, sex training
is being taken out of the taboo
category and psychologists and
educators are doing much more
to prepare young people for mar
riage and are waiting to help
when the first signs of breakup
appear.
In olden times, and in many
countries. the bride is supposed
to have a dowry. why Grow
Old?" has some ideas about the
kind of dowry which is most
valuable to the bride and to the
groom. Today. I am passing some
of these on to you.
In the first place. take q sense
OF humor into marriage with you.
1t will see you through many
hectic situations and will soften
the blow when. you realize that
your mate, like you, is human and |
therefore has shortcomings.
Second, take good health along
with you. Guard it. Without a
plus N energy, you will be unable
to meet the complex and subtle
and hectic situations which life,
and especially life with marriage,
provides.
Third, believe in him. Faith
breeds good conduct. We are all
human and are therefore subject
to human frailties, but once you
know that some one you love and
depend upon believes in you whole
heartedly, you would be quite
heel to betray him as he would be
to betray you.
Fourth, learn about good nu-
triton. The health of your new
husband will be In your hands,
to a great extent. It will lie in
the pots and pans of your kitchen.
Guard his energy by feeding him
properly.
Fifth, keep yourself the girl
with whom he fell in love. Do not
take the first baby or the fact
that you have gotten your man"
as an excuse for becoming fat or
unattractive.
Sixth, take polite manners into
your new home.
Last but not least, remember
that the spiritual and emotional
tone of home is usually set by
the woman in the home. That is
your main job. Keep it exciting
and adventurous and gay.

Municipal Court Serves Warning To Trailer Towns

Now that Valdez has served notice to vagrants that this city is no longer a haven for ne'er-do- wells, a second step toward an orderly and well-regulated com munity was made in city court last week.
 A resident of the trailer court on the outskirts of the city was naled into court on a civil charge pressed by William .Zook. MT. Zook signed a complaint charging the man with making an internal racket" He attempted to reason with the noise-maker but when he received an abusive answer he took his grievance to municipal court.
 The accused was found not guilty on the charge brought, but the court took the occasion to warn that Valdez has ordinances which govern the trailer courts. and that they will be fully en- forced hereafter.
 'There is an ordinance for abat- ing nuisances, for anything creat- ing a fire hazard and there are ordinances fully covering sanita- tion," the court warned. "No one is being singled out for discrimi- nation, but the city council is of a mind to have these laws en- forced. They don't want Valdez to be plagued with the problems that other cities in Alaska (not- ably Anchorage) have had, be- cause ordinances were not en- forced soon enough. Valdez is not going to be messed up the way Anchorage was, because that city didn't act in time'
 The city council only recently acted to formulate new ordin- ances governing the mushrooming trailer settlements in Valdez. Trailer courts must be licensed by the city council, and must pass a sanitation inspection by city health officer Dr. Kenneth Ham.

VISITORS MAKE VALDEzANS DIG OUT HISTORY BOOKS

ture recently, he stopped to an- swer query for the supposed tourist. He found the tourist had more complete information about the former church than he, for the visitor was Roy Rutherford, who built the church in 1905.
 The hanging story tourists query Valdezans about is equally true. When Valdez celebrated New Years last year, no one took the trouble to recall that the town also should have celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the first hanging in Alaska.
 That hanging took place in Valdez, when John Reed was ex- ecuted for the crime of shooting his two partners, in the days of the gold rush. The hangman's tree still stands, where it can be pointed out to tourists by long time residents. And as they point to the tree, they remark that until the heavy winds of 1949, the frayed old rope that swung Reed into eternity still was dangling from a branch.
Valdez news., 1950-08-11

Inquiries from interested VlSl- tors and tourists this summer are bringing to light the colorful his tory of early Valdez. The story of a hanging, first in Alaska, and the history of one of the first churches of Valdez, have been in teresting out of town residents recently.
 The query on the church came from the department of taxation at Juneau, which wanted to know if there was truth in the story about a Valdez church being built by Negro prospector.
 That story is entirely true. The Congregational Church of Valdez, now inactive, was financed by Melvin Dempsey, a colored pros pector of the city's early history. The former church, located at Broadway Avenue and Hobart Street, is used now for store room for the El-Nathan Chil- dren's Home.
 Incidentally, when banker John Gilson, ST., saw a man intently examining the old church struc-

HOUSING SHORTAGE GETTING SERIOUS

"Hiyah, honey. Pick you up about eight tonight and we'll take a little run out to the morgue for the evening, huh?"
 That's the way a Valdez young man will be making his dates this winter. At least that's what Miss June Forest hopes. She's planning to make the morgue the most popular spot in Valdez, she says.
 However there'll be several changes in interior furnishing and in type of clientele, be- fore its popularity is assured. Miss Forest is accomplishing the interior changes now, with some remodelling and decorat- ing designed to convert the Ocean Dock structure into a very modern night club, She looks to high-spirited, fun-lov- ing Valdezans for the change of-pace clientele she needs to inhabit the place.
 MISS FOreSt at present IS c1r- culating the required petition to secure her license. She needs tn signatures of 51 per cent of all legal residents of the city, before she puts the morgue back on active duty again. There are some residents who oppose the plan, preferring to keep idle morgues idle.

Commissioner Continues Crusade For Low and Order Begun by Council

'"The laws of Alaska cover such things" Mrs. Harrais continued her reprimand. Law abiding citizens do not need to put up with such conduct. Notice already has been served that this town is not healthy place for those who won't abide by the law"
 One defendant, resident of Valdez, promised to leave town If his sentence was suspended, but Mrs. Harrais refused, saying that blue tickets are illegal.
 Last weeks action followed an earlier clamp down on drifters in Valdez, instituted by the city council. Several vagrants left Valdez at that time.
 The defendants at last weeks trial were not charged with vag- rancy, for all had been employed here. However Mrs. Harrais re- fused to recognize their verbal protestations of a desire to work in the future, pointing out that all three already had taken far too many bottle vacations"

"Valdez is a decent city. We want to keep it that way. We want Valdez to be a place where men, women and children can live and not be subjected to an- noyance and even indecency."
 With those words Mrs. Mar garet Harrais, U. $. Commissioner here, started three men on an in- voluntary plane ride to Federal jail at Cordova last week. The men had been charged with drunkenness and disorderly con- duct. All three were found gull ty and all three were sentenced to 30 days in jail. Two of them also drew a $1OO fine.

'$i60,00O SYSTEM,
 BUILT BY PWA, IS POSSIBLE HERE

A complete sewer system for Valdez is in the offing, possibly in 1851, if present plans of the Valdez city council maaterialize. The city hopes to construct a $160,000 sewer system under the Public Works Act. If funds are appropriated, the council looks forward to the beginning of con- struction next year, since Valdez is next in line, the council was told
 Under the plan, for which Felix Toner of Juneau presented pre- liminary engineering details, the cost of the system would be amortized over a 20-year period. Councilmen estimate that it would cost the city of Valdez about $4,000 year. The remainder of the annual payment would be made up from monthly revenues paid by all Valdez residents. In- terest on the sewer project will be at the rate of two percent.
 Plans require that every home within the Valdez city limits be connected to the sewer line. Homeowners must bear the cost of connection between the main and their property. As monthly revenue from the system, the city of Valdez would receive $3 from a residence and $5 from asbusi- ness establishment.
 Territorial Highway Patrolman E. R. Alex" Alexander appeared at last weeks council meeting to ask for a definition of his traffic enforcement duties within the city limits. Patrolman Alexander will have complete responsibility for the enforcement of all city traffic laws, the council decided. He was empowered specifically to arrest speeders, drunken and careless drivers and illegal park CTS on downtown city streets.
 Councilmen asked that the pa trolman pay particular attention to cars driving on the Valdez ai1 - strip. All vehicles are barred, byE ordinance, from the airport stri~ However residents of that are; have complained recently that the airstrip has become a speedway for pleasure drivers.
 Patrolman Alexander served notice that he intended to enforce the traffic code impartially. T don't want anyone to tell me I arrested the wrong person." he told council members.
 The matter of recording land transfers was discussed. City clerk Haley Gates was author ized to post notices requiring that all property transfers be recorded at his office. U. $. Commissioner Margaret Harrais further suggest ed that representative Bill Egan introduce a bill at the next ses- sion of legislature, making it con- pulsory to record all transfers of property in Alaska.
 The neWly-completed map of the city of Valdez was presented to the council by cartographer Harold Jorgensen. Members were delighted with the detail shown on the map, which includes the tank farm of the Alaska Road Commission, the municipal air port, the Federal flight strip and the Valdez Dock.
 It was decided to order 100 smaller reproductions of the map, to be sold to interested Valdez residents.
