Birmingham, with a metropoli-
tan populations of ~555,800, is only
80 years old, making her a baby
sister to cities such as Detroit,
which has just celebrated its 2
50th anniversary.
Birmingham was born of steel,
cut its teeth on steel and is de-
veloping on steel.
But-city fathers believe a
growing city needs a more varied
diet.
So Clarence Hanson, Jr., pub
Usher Of the Birmingham News,
called business, civic and banking
leaders together and formed the
Committees of 100. With Chamber
of Commerce backing, the men
started work to r~evitalize the city's
stunted growth.
First business-like gesture came
from Alabama Power Company,
which is spending 100 100000 in
a three-year expansion program.
., Through Board Chairman Thomas
W. Martin the company offered
100000 toward a half-million
dollar advertising and promotion
campaign. In four and one-halt
days, $530,000 more had been add

Each committee member promis.

upon him to make out-of-town con

Manufacturers who complained
of lack of steel got assurances from
the South's largest steel producer
Tennessee Iron and Coal Compan,
promised to make steel availabl
to the limit of its ability to an,

Birmingham Finds Way

But if he does it will be only
after the New York Giants have
made a trade with the Cardinals
for his services that will improve
the Giants.
There is no altruism involved.
A spokesman for the Giants said
today that they would not stand in
the way of Stanky improving him
self, but the Giants won't give
him away.
The firing of Marty Marion as
the Cards manager yesterday paw
ed the way to rumors that Stanky
is on his way again.
Last summer when Bill Veeck
was looking for someone to man
age the St. Louis Browns, rumors
began to fly that Stanky would get
the job. One published report had
it that waivers had been asked on
| Stanky so that he could be sent
out of the National League and in
to the American as pilot of the
Browns.
| accosted a gentleman connect
ed with the Giants and asked him
if he had read the reports.
He said he had and that he was
willing to bet any reasonably a.
mount that waivers had not been
asked on Stanky and that Stanky
positively would not go to the
Browns.
Rogers Hornsby was signed as
manager of the Browns.
The same man who said Stanky
would not go to the Browns as
duly reported in this column-now
says that he will wager that if
Stanky goes anywhere it will be
because the Giants can get what
they want for him.
The Giants won a pennant last
season with Sanky and are not par
ticularly interested in breaking
up a winning combination, ever
though Stanky may be in and out
Of the lineup and no longer is the
player he once was.
Aside from all other considera
, tons the Giants are not interested
in sending to st. Louis or to an,
other rival club a player who ma,
l help that club-as player or man
r ager-unless the Giants can com
: up with something worth while i
t return.
The Giants supposedly r in

and an o%utfielder. Apparently
owner Fred Saigh of the Cards ha
other ideas about that.
He won't give up a hurler an

NEW YORK, Nov. 26 GNS)-
With initiation and one thing and
another, it is a trifle difficult these
days to prove that even the best
things in life are free. But the
Arturo Toscanini b~roadcasts are a
strong case in point.
This, the most glorious music
in New York City, is free each

With all the hard work by these
super-salesmen, however, the pro-
gram could hardly have been as
spectacularly successful without
the assistance Of practically every

Chamber Of Commerce Presi-

support of many organizations by

one he made to the Rotary Club:

He warned that "your civic

them with the thought that en-

FLIGHTS CHARTERED AS FISHING STARTS IN LAKE LOUISE

Heavy summer business from fishermen, hunters and photog- raphers who want to fly into beautiful Lake Louise, was fore cast yesterday by L. L. Penning- ton, mile 147.
 Pennington, who runs a charter plane service from Snowshoe lake to Lake Louise, was in Palmer buying oil, gas and other supplies. Coming to the Matanuka valley before the colonists, he has been flying since 1889 and has two charter planes available. During the war he flew the fire patrol for two years over most of the Territory and beyond the Arctic Circle.
 ''The fishermen are just start ing to come in. After all, the ice only went out a week ago., he said.
 Most of his fishing parties are local, he said, although some tour ists are beginning to realize that Lake Louise is one of the few crystal clear, non-glacial lakes in the area, and is noted for the big mackerel caught there. Located Fon the watershed between Cop per and Susitna rivers it is vir- tually inaccessible except by plane.
 Lodge facilities with 24-hour service are available at Tazlina Glacier lodge, mile 156, but with the fishing rush already begin ming, reservations should be made by calling KWD 87, Pennington said.
