Now that ferry companies are
changing schedules or are about
ito gear up "sailings" for the travel
pickup ahead. the American Au-
tomobile Association has called
upon operators to "modernize
their scheduling practices"
The AAA is hoping to give the
motorist more assurance that he
will find ferries functioning at
the times specified in timetables.
| Outlining the problem and the
Suggested cure. Stanley T. Banks,
supervisor of touring services, Dis
trict division of the AAA, says:
Most schedules and timetables
Issued by the ferry operators and
car-carrying steamship services
fail to show the effective date or
time of termination. as do tables
issued by other carriers. The re-
suit, all too often. is that the mo-
Itorist arrives at the river bank at
the appointed time, only to find
himself faced with an empty dock
and good long wait.
This situation, and recon-
mended steps to avoid 1t, are
being communicated to ferry COM
panies in the name of the AAAS
National Touring Board. Because
of the obvious value of providing
prospective customers with ac-
curate and reliable information,
t is expected that the majority
of the companies operating car
ferries will comply with the AAA
requests"
Seashore Diversion-Of all the
diversions offered by a seashore
vacation, one of the most fasci-
mating is hunting for shells. or
brightly colored pebbles and
stones. Whetted by unusual finds,
collecting can lead to hobby and
become a pleasurable urge toward
the beach-vacation habit.
Not all stretches of sand lend
themselves to the possibility of
acquiring a choice collection of
shells. But as the hobby takes
hold, vacationers with a bent in
that direction learn of beaches,
near and far, that offer delicate,
Hlustrous and multicolored prizes.
One of the first beaches they hear
about is on Sanibel Island, far
down on the southwest coast Of
Florida.
A combination Of tides, current
and the curving shape Of the is
land is credited with building a
pocketlike beach that traps many
kinds of seashells, by the millions
Each tide brings them in, and
some 300 varieties have been
found there. They include the
lions paw, of dark orange-red;
the white. yellow-lined buttercup
and the junonia. specimens OF

stressed nationwide, but the ques-
ton of enforcement is something
else.
DR.. Pickard says: 1--WE need and
must have the help of all segments
of the population. It's time that all
Americans became oognizant of the
annual tremendous loss and showed
an interest in stopping it."
The erring livestock shipper is as
dangerous to the nation as the
black-market operator. He should
be curbed by law. But until such
legislation can be put on the books,
there is a great deal that public
opinion can do.
Indignation at the price of meat
can travel all the way from your
butcher shop to the man on the
farm.
Shock and outrage at the out
right brutality of livestock ham
ding can reach the ears Of
offenders and force them to
conform to humane practices.
And anger over the enormous
waste of one of our nations re-
sources, at a time when we need
them all, can knock the meat
saboteurs out of business.
That's the job that Livestock
Conservation. Inc, sees ahead for
us all. The End

today than in l948. They are pay
ing higher prices for the meat they
can get. but the demand is also in
creasing.
Thirteen years ago our per-person
annual meat consumption was l26
pounds. For the last three years the
rate has stood at IA pounds per
person. Anything that stops the
butcher from supplying us with
that extra l8 pounds per year, like
the needless loss at the source of
production, is unforgivable. 1t can
mean even higher prices, particu-
larly with our food commitments
overseas.
Too Big To Handle Alone
FORMER OPA Deputy Administra-
tor J. Kenneth Galbraith, a Har-
ward economist, declares that despite
controls, there will be almost no
chance of holding down prices in the
next vital years. so long as short
age exists.
For all these reasons, as we'll as in
the name of humane treatment of
animals. it is time to do something
about this cruel waste. But the job
of curbing careless shippers is too
massive and unwieldy for Livestock
Conservation. Inc. to handle alone.
Its 22-point program is now being

energetic appeals have repeatedly
been made by c. E. Coyle, chair
man of the local loss-prevention
committee.
''But our board" he admits
wearily, ''has absolutely no
authority to make or enforce
regulations Of any kind"
Perhaps the strongest deterrent
to careless handling is an aroused
public. When consumers realize the
needless brutality and the shameful
waste involved, their protests may
reach the ears of those responsible.
And with the meat shortage grow
ing, there will certainly be protests
coming.
Three years ago an official of the
American Meat Institute assured
the nations livestock producers
that they could look forward to
sound financial future" Why?
Because in one year the number of
cattle. hogs and sheep per 100
Americans had slipped respectively
by four. five and Ia per cent. In
those days we were figuring on a
population of l47,OOO,OOO people.
Today we have l55, 900, 600 - and
the meat for those extra 100000
just isn't to be had, even at fancy
prices.

TOURIST TRADE UNHURT BY WAR TALK. SAYS ALASKA STEAMSHIP COMPANY

R. C. Rose, assistant general passenger agent for A las k a Steamship Company, observes that war talk has not damaged Alaska's tourist industry.
 From time to time various newspapers, including Alaska papers, have carried stories sug- gesting that the international situation is proving harmful to Alaska's growing tourist indus try MT. Rose states. Since the impression given by such publi- city is not entirely accurate, would like to summarize the present situation for you"
 "On each Wednesday, through the winter, we count actual res ervations made for summer sail ings. Figures for the past few weeks reveal the comparison of summer reservations with that of the 1850 season.
 "On April :, summer bookings were only 53 per cent of com parable bookings for the pre- vious year. The number increas- ed this week until now. At this time more passengers are book ed for June sailings in 1851 than at the same time last year with

Negro picture magazine, in which
he blasts the use of dope among
musicians being the most serious
menace to the band business to-
day.
Galloway says the number of
performers who have turned to
dope of one kind or another is in
creasing at an alarming rate and
now constitutes a very sizeable
minority. Many of these musicians
are hopelessly enslaved TO the
heavy drugs -- morphine, heroin
and opium"
As for marfjuana, while per-
haps not as serious as the other
drugs, Galloway scotches the
popular belief that this drug,
known as the REFER, improves
music ability. Il have long known
that marijauana Injuries rather
than aids musicianship," says the
Hi-De-Ho maestro. My observa-
tons proved to me that mari
juana, or any other drug. weakens
a players performance because il
slows down his reactions, muddles
his thinking and distorts his
tone"
Many young musicians are re-
jecting the "reefers" as not Of
sufficient stimulant and taking
on the far more dangerous drug
Of "heroin," says Galloway.
This Is not only damaging the
reputation Of the musician, but
Is hampering him from getting
a job, he adds.
Galloway pleads for an immed-
tate check Of the spread Of the
use Of dope among musicians or
face the possibility Of "the jazz

ment Of heroin hypodermic needle

Negro readers OF the st. Paul

1T seems to me that columnist
George Sokolsky twisted the is

more than he claims his Negro

In the first place, no reasonably
intelligent person would claim
racial inequality to be the sole
cause for the origin of commu-
nism. / believe Mr.. Sokolsky will
agree, however, that some men do
turn to communism, seeking an
scape from unfair treatment

minority group, and the Jim Grow

Secondly, 1t is agreed that there

such feelings certainly cannot be
