Well Folks
This will serve as "NOtice to
all Baseball Players and FANS:
Our first workout this season
will be held in East Lake Park

pected to really make good
showing this next season.
We will have better playing
field this year. Better than ever

the bail diamond should be one of
the best in the city. The new
stand will now seat over 1000
people. A new backstOp is being
installed. The playing field has
been enlarged and of course the
new lighting for night play is one
of the best Obtainable. Let's make
the best possible use of the facil-
tiles that are there for us.

AlmOSC as ancient as worship
itself is the hot cross bun.
Although the stories of the
origin of these spicy, sugar-coated
buns are varied, their association
with religious customs has never
faltered, according to the Ameri-
can Bakers Association.
Records claim that Cecrops
Legendary Greek hero said to have
,, been the founder of Attica, known
] today as Greece, offered a sweet
bun to the gods as far back as
1000 BIC. Petrified and perfectly
shaped buns were discovered at
Herculaneum, destroyed by Mt.
Vesuvius in 79 AID.
The early Egyptians offered
buns, bearing two horns, to their
Moon Goddess. The early Greeks
changed the horn mark to cross.
The Saxons marked their buns
with the cross in honor of Eastre,
, their Goddess of Light. Romans,
too, ate crossed bread, buying it
at the temple doors when they
went to offer public sacrifice.
The Christian fathers adapted
the Greek and Roman custom Of
eating crossed buns as a religious
factor in Lenten observance.
Some reports state this custom
stems from the buns universal re-
ligious observance, while other
reports say the bun was some
thing the people felt they could
eat during the Lenten period to
replace pastries, cakes, and other
rich foods which they may have
decided to forego.
So popular were these buns that
q poem was written about them.
This Mother Goose rhyme is fam
iliar to everyone:
"Hot cross buns! Hot cross buns!
One a penny, two a penny,
hot cross buns!
If you have no daughters, give
them to your sons,
One a penny, two a penny,
hot cross buns!
If you have none of these elves,
Then you may eat them for
yourselves"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8-tR-The cost of sending letter would go up from three to four cents under a postal rate increase bill passed by the Senate last night and sent to the House.
 The measure also would make the penny postcard only memory, raise airmail rates and boost charges on other types of mail in an effort to swell the post office departments revenues around $400, 100000 year.
 Even so the department would
 be left in the red Its expenses
 now outrun it's income more than
 00,000.000 annually.

Russia Sends 800 Young Specialists 10 Easi Siberia, Says SoyleIpres
 Casualty influx Expeded. Thinks Experi

? SEATTLE. Sept. 8--tR--A Uni yersity Of Washington specialist on Russian affairs says the Soviet press recently reported aoo young specialists had passed through Khatarovsk en route to Siberia's Faeisis ecpSt. Most zaaae described as doctors and teachers.
 Dr. Iyar Spector, the universitys Far Eastern department expert on what the Russian press is saying, noted the item in the newspaper Pravda of Aug 19.
 ''This announcement is as sig nificant as if our government were to make public information that 800 doctors and teachers re- gently lad passed through Fair banks enroute to Nome and Dutch Harhor," Dr. Spect0r wrote in the Seattle Times.
 pr. Spector said the item was an inconspicuous one, headed Young Specialists"
 It said the 800 passed through Khabarovsk in a seyen-month per- iod en route to Kamehatka and the coast of the sea of Okhotsk. Kamchatka is the peninsula reach ing down from Siberia nearest the tip of the Aleutians. The Sea of Ckhotsk is inside the peninsula. The closest part of the sea would be 300 miles or more from the tip of North Korea.
 "The item stated only how many passed through Khabaroysk." Dr- spector said, "but nothing of those going by way of Komsomolsk, Ma eadan or Vladiyostok."
 He continued:
 "Since there are hints that many hospitals have been built in that corner of northeast Sib- eria, one conclusion to be drawn is that the doctors are needed to meet a possible influx of war casualties, either of Soviet troops or, since Chinese hospitals are reported to be cvertaxed, of NOr.b Korean and Red Chinese woun- ded.
 "The teachers might be required to instill the doctrines of Marxisrl- Leninism among troops convales- cling there"

Air Superiority
 To Guard Against Disasier:: Air Chief

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 - R = America has mo choice but to main- tain superiority in the air" if it is to guard against the swiftest kind of military disaster
 That's the way Gen. Hoyt s. Van- denberg. air force chief of staff, put it on the line to members of the Senate Appropriations committee, which voted billions of dollars yes- terday to bolster the nations aerial might.
 Vandenberg hammered hard at the threat of Russia's expanding air force. His testimony. given behind closed doors Aug. IS, was made pub- lie by the committee after it had approved $61 .l05. .865,03O military defense bill. More than $20,000.- 100000 is earmarked for the air force.
 The first battles of an air war may well be the decisive battles" Vandenberg declared Years are re- ttiiS to iCPAotS nA AOooSo, eAAaN turing those years superior air force could operate against us with increasing destructiveness."
 Vandenberg told the committee:
 An air force of 95 wings cannot De considered sufficient to win a 1ajor war by defeating superior strength both in the air and on he ground. A force of this kind is intended primarily as deterrent.
 Tt is hoped that such force night be able to stave off all-out warfare"
 Stressing a need for a speedy ,erial build-up. Vandenberg said an ,ir war cannot be won with yes erday's air force, for tomorrow's air 'orce may never be born under the bounding of an air force already in being today"

Development Board Head Will Confer with AIcOa
 Heads on Power Project

s George Sundborg, general man. ager of the Alaska Development Board, leaves next month for Pitts burgh to confer with Aluminium Company of America officials on the proposed development of large hydroelectric plant in Alaska.
 This was revealed today after an Alcoa announcement in Seattle de- clared that the big company had not lost interest in development of a project in the north.
 While the exact site was not named, it was assumed to be the Taiya vicinity near Skagway, in which Alcoa has invested thousands in preliminary investigations. Sund- borg said he returned from survey work there some 10 days ago.
 Location of the Kitimat project near Prince Rupert by the Alum inIn Company of Canada has not siGefracked, but instead has in- creased interest in the Alaska site, said Sundb0rg.
 The Development Board has been working with Alcoa since 1947 on this development and the work, ac- eording to Sundborg, has not slack. ened in the period since Kitimat was selected as a site for similar plant to be built by the Canadian company.
 "In the Talya project we have the best opportunity existing any where in the entire world to 0b- tain large expansion in alumi- mum production at reasonable cost" Sundborg said. We under stand that defense officials are coming around to the view that only by encouraging the construc- ton of a really large project like Taiya can the nation be assured of sufficient aluminium capacity to meet the rapidly expanding needs for this material"

What lead time means i ,.that it takes about two years from he time you make decision te Duy planes until you get them into \ our fighting units. This means z hat you have to look two years { head. You have to estimate what N our weapons will be then ano what conditions will be then. It is not true, as has sometimes been said, that military plans are usual ly based on fighting the war which is just over; but if you are to avoid doing this you have to cast youi mind constantly forward to the conditions of two to four years from the time of the planning.
 Here are some of the things that one can estimate as of, two years from now. We can't order planes that aren't proven; therefore we have to order the planes that are
