 The chartered seaplane, carry ing six loggers and the pilot, disappeared shortly before noon Saturday on 75-mIle flight from Vancouver Islands Much alat Arm to the settlement of Tofina, both on the west coast. The island lies off he mainland of British Columbia
 Nearly dozen Canadian and American search planes criSs crossed the area yesterday but found no trace of the norseman seaplane. The search continued today.
 Rescue officials said there was a possibility the pilot, Capt. E. C. CTed) Williams, Zeballos, E. C., might have been able to land on an inlet at a remote beach if his plane developed engine trouble
 Williams was believed to have been flying an overland route close to the rugged coastline.
 The airline identified the pas sengers as J. Palmer, K. Mug ridge, L. Larson, A. Costly, C. Warne and R. L. Brown. TheIr home towns were not known.

colortul and dramatic days of the Alaska Gold Rush were re counted over and over at lower Woodland Park yesterday at the final picnic of the Alaska Yukon Pioneers.
 Although the picnic was sched- uled as the last one to be- held, the light hearted story swap ping by the men ana women, who are still rugged despite their years, showed that the friendships which developed dur ing hardships more than 50 years ago are not going to end for some time.
 The oldest man present was Nathan Kresge, 93, who now lives in West Seattle. kresge was known as the Yukon Kid" back when he discovered Gold Hill at Dawson. He first went North in 1897, and returned less than two years later with S25,000.

 There was Leonard Seppala, 74, who was one ot the champ ion oog sledders in the frozen north. His most famous exploit was a 240-mile day and mgnt dog sled race With serum dur ing an epidemic.
 Another man was Andy Ny len, 89, who roamed the Nome ana kOtZebue areas for 4O years, and who hasn't yet forgiven Seppla for a rough dog sled ride in the early days Once on his own, Nylen sleddeQ tor 40 hours just to attend a two hour dance.

Half Million Co|ored Farmers
Produce Record Cotton Crop

Much of the credit for this
years cotton crop of 1877 million
bales goes to the colored farmers
Of the South who, as always, play
ed an important role in tipping the
production, say Extension Field
Agents T. M. Campbell and John
w. Mitchell of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
More than 100000 colored farm
ers inthe 10 major cotton produc-
ing States Of the South from the
Carolinas to Oklahoma and Texas
pitched in to help meet the Ma
TONS need for this important fl
Der crop. And although threatened
by bad weather and boil weevils
which reduced their earnings two
years in a row, these farmers came
through with big crops.
Typical ofthe many farmers who
doubled their production is 81
year-old Elijah Johnson of Green
vile, Miss, who expects to wind
up with so bales. In previous
years, the most cotton he ever
raised was 26 bales.
Twelve years ago he would have
been happy if he could have pro-
duced even six bales. 1t was about
then that the Farm Security Ad-
ministration- now the Farmers
Home Observation-Disclosures him
enough money to buy a mule, a
little feed, seed, and some grocer
les to tide him over.
The next year, after studying
Mr.. J%ohnson's record of 10 years
Of sharecropping and 10 more as
a struggling tenant, the agency
loaned him $4,000 to buy the 55-
acre farm he now owns in the
Glenn Mary community near
Greenville.
In addition to the land, the
money covered the cost of a small
modern home, another mule, a
COW, and some fruit trees. "When
I looked at these things that would
one day be mine," says Mr.. John

son, 81 felt for the first time that
I was getting ahead after 20 years
Of trying"
Year by year, with the aid of
FILA Supervisor Delois Niece, and
County Agent Charles Burton, Mr..
and Mrs. Johnson have steadily in
creased their net worth. From the
500 worth of make-shift furni-
ture and worn out farm nipple
ments they owned, when the Gov
eminent made them a loan, to
property valued at $4,000 is the
jump they have made.
This property includes their
farm, their enlarged and remodel
ed home, with a 36-inch exhaust
fan to keep it cool in summer; a
new stove and home freezer, a
tractor and other modern equip
ment, two milk cows, 20 hogs,
and so laying hens.
Although the Johnsons have
five children, the only time they
60 to the grocery store is when
they want sugar, flour, coffee,
salt, or pepper. They grow the
rest. "T'd like to buy a piece of
meat sometimes just to e how it
would feel" says Mrs. johnson,
looking at a pile of steaks and
| chops in her home freezer.
While the Johnsons went all out
this year to help produce more
cotton, they usually carry on a
balanced farming. program with
~soybeans, truck crops, corn, and
] livestock in addition to their cot
ton. For two years straight, 1913
40, Mr.. Johnson won awards ir
the 1OO-bushel corn contest.
When the urgent need for cottor
is satisfied, Mr.. johnson plans tt
reorganize his farm so as to shift
almost entirely from cotton tt
cattle and hogs and permanent
pastures. Mr.. MCGEE and Mr.. Bur.
ton have helped him develop plans
for putting the reorganization in
to effect withinthe next few years

NEW YORk, NOV. 20 \14>OJ
Horse racing is not the only haz-
ardous occupation that stems from
differences of opinion. Play pro-
ducing is another direct offspring
Of such differences and is, if pos
sible, more ,fraught with instabili-
ty than horse racing.
The oldest playgoer on Broad

son more perilous to play produc-

PARIS, Nov. 20 (INS)- It's
like walking on velvet in Paris
this year!
Everywhere you stroll, there's
silk, cotton or rayon velvet-in
fashions for all hours, all oc-
casions.
Velvet scarves and gloves in
matching tints make costume n
sembles to be worn with tailored
tweed suits or hairy wool coats.
Velvet blouses, with hand-knit-
ted collars and cuffs, are for
lounging and loafing in >the coun-
try.
Balmain uses black velvet in
combination with tartan plaid wool
for casual dresses, while designer
BaienclagG has a velvet coat for
casual street wear.
Velvet is dressy too. Castillo
creates a blue velvet coat with bal
loon sleeves, to be worn over a
blue lace sheath for cocktail hours.
Jacques Faith designs black velvet
dresses for dinner, and Dior comes
up with a straight red velvet
frock for the theatre.
The evening picture is often
velvet touched. At night, green
or red gowns are touched up with
an old hand like Mr.. Schumlin can
only cause wonder among the in
nocent bystanders and scare the
socks off incipient angels.
The Hammerstein revival of
Emusic In The Air", which closed
Saturday night, is another case in
point. When the Hammersteins,
Shumlins and Andersons turn out
to be bad guessers, is enough to
make the would-be angel take his
dough and invest in something
safe like the Brooklyn bridge.

Sweeney must have been sur
prised to hear this from Garlic
who always takes his defeats
hard.
Carlo was discussing rule in
fractions the other day. His con-
tention was that seeing Redskin
games hurt rather than helped
high school players.
"You would think that the boys
would pick up some important
pointers watching the Redskins
and the other pro clubs" he re-
marked, but instead it works the
other way.
They see the pros making high
blocks with their hands away
from the body and not getting
called for it. Despite everything
we tell them in practice they'll go
out in game and block like the
pros. High school officials will call
illegal use of the hands every time
and thev should h,It n,Ir lids on
right on trying to do it the way
the pros do
The players must realize that
pro and college rules differ in
many cases with high school rules.
Carlo also had a good point
when he said that pictures in the
citys newspapers of college play
ers getting away with illegal
blocks doesn't help him in COACH
ing his boys.
