A picnic is something that
nothing is more fun than.
That's q statement that millions
Of Americans are proving right
at this time. Summertime is out
door eating time-a time to enjoy
good food which has the added
sauce Of sunshine and fresh air.
Probably everyone has Won
dered where that peculiar word
picnic" came from. The Amer
lean Bakers Association has run
down its history and comes up
with half an explanation.
"Pic". apparently originated
from the French word "piquer,"
meaning ito pick,"-as in pick
and choose, no doubt, from the
variety Of foods available at most
picnics. But history has not re-
corded who slapped the mic" on
the end Of the pic.
Picnics started hundreds of
years ago. Originally these were
group affairs, where each family
brought foods and everyone
helped himself to what he wanted.
Just when picnics began to be
an important part Of American
living no one knows, but if it were
classed as one Of the outdoor
sports, attendance each year would
rank above baseball, football or
basketball and maybe all Of them
combined.
, 1951-08-15

But who cares about history
when it comes to grilling ham,
burgers or hot dogs or bacon or
what have you, over a bed Of
glowing coals-eating the fin
ished product on special buns or
enriched white bread?
And think Of all the hundreds
Of ways to prepare picnic lunches,
all the vast variety Of good things
to eat which can be used. Plus the
relishes, sauces, garnishes, pickles,
olives, jams, jellies-plus every
thing you can think of which adds
to the family pleasure.
Then to get down to science
the family will get a great deal
Of nourishment out Of any picnic
meal which includes meat, cheese,
peanut butter or other sandwich
ingredients; enriched white
bread; milk or soft drinks or
whatever your favorite beverage
may be and dessert.
And as a suggestion for des.
sert, this is cherry pie time, and
bakers are featuring luscious,
juicy cherry pie. A g~ood-sized
chunk of ice cream on top of the
pie will add still more luster to a
perfect day. A most excellent end
to a day Of fun in the open.
Yes indeed, a picnic is some
thing that nothing is more fun
than!

MAN MURDERED HERE
REPORT ON GARLAND FUND

Reproduced herewith are two pages from the Fourth Report of the California Legislatures Com mittee on Investigation of UnAmer- ican Activities which was publish ed in 1948. Read them carefully. for they describe the personnel and activities of an organization whose interests are inimical to those of every free American. We refer to the American Fund for Public Service" better known as the Garland Fund" Page 145, shown at the left of this column, des- cribes the Fund" and some of its beneficiaries, notably the Commun- ist Daily Worker New Masses' and the Young Communist League (now called American Youth for Democracy. The page also lists some of the directors of the Fund who handed out money to the a. boYe mentioned Communist activ- ities.
 Also shown is Pa a PAT of the same report, which describes the same outfit under the name of the Garland Fund. Listed here are the directors and officers of the Fund and it's subsidiaries - those shown on Page 145 and others.
 After looking over the list, we believe that Alaskans and others who read these words will want some explanation on the part of the persons named as officers and directors of the Fund.
 We'll be pleased to publish ex- planatory statements by any of the persons named so long as they confine their remarks to the mat ter of the Fund" and their as sociation with it, and refrain from the employment of generalities and indirection.
