Already there have been reports
of DPS, sometimes referred to as
refugees, who have come here and
gone into business, only to adopt
the un-American habit of discrimi-
mating against Negroes and other
minorities. Here is the need for
realistic action. There are too many
bigots here now for us to import
other millions of people and allow
them to be recruited into the evil
ranks.

The G.adGs Reeee.
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

For several years now, we have been told that the greatest and most lucrative industry in store for the Kenai Peninsula is the tourist trade. Seward and surrounding country is a Ina tural" for that industry, and only needs promotion.
 Promotion means advertising, great deal of advertising. This is not something that someone is going to do for us. We must do it. Being the point of entry and departure by ship, a certain amount of interest is naturally to be focused on Seward. But, because greener pastures, more spectacular entertainment and grander scenery is advertised as being located in the Interior cities, Seward gets but a glance in passing Ga quite rapid passlng) through to those much touted places.
 Which leads back to the first claim-We must advertise. It has often been argued that there is no possibility of. tourist trade in Seward until there are larger hotel accommodations, and the same people making this argu- ment will state in the next breath that no one is going to invest in hotel property until there is a call for it, So there we stand
 It seems to me that if the need for accommodations is going to be predicted upon the amount of tourist traffic-then the tourists must be induced to stay over in Seward, so that we can build a hotel to house them-etc.
 The finest medium of adVer- Using is being offered us this summer without any effort on our part to attract it. That is the convention tour of the National Editorial Association. About 250 editors, owners and publishers of Stateside newspapers will make the tour, taking over the entire facilities of the So Aleu- tian for their purposes. 15O of them will go to Fairbanks, An and Mt. Mckinley, 100 or more of them will remain in Seward. If one hundred news paper men enjoy themselves in Seward, what are they going to say about the town when they return to their papers? What will they say if they find the city people cold toward them, or indifferent? We can get over million dollars worth of free publicity-adver- tising-either favorable or ad- verse. It is up to Seward.
 Ironically, this year, our greatest asset, the f s h n streams and favored spots on the Peninsula will be difficult to reach because of the road work. Consequently, some other means of entertainment must be devised.
 A committee has been ap-

NURSES ENJOY DRIVE TO HOMER

Miss Della Gabriel, nurse at Seward General Hospital, took a group of six nurses on a trip to Homer over the week end. The group included Mrs. Kathryn Olson and her daughter, Mary Alice, who is returning to Sel- dovia after a brief visit in Sew ard and Moose Pass.
 Ideal weather with bright sunny sky and crisp cold air brought m any rhapsodus ex- clamations from the ladies see ing the country for the first time. T h y particularly men, toned the "glorified' fir o s t flowers on all tWigs and bushes and the exceptional color to be found in Cook Inlet sunsets.

NOTES FROM YOUR EXTENSION SERVICE
BY MARY LOU LASHBROOK

Naturally, our canning bulle- tins are in most demand this time of the year; and with the giving of these Extension bulletins gra- tis, usually there is a question or two about canning. A frequent one is Why is there a loss of juice from jars?" There are sev- eral reasons. CD Jars are filled too full; @ Jars are packed too Solidly with food; (3) variation in temperature; suddenly the low ering or raising of temperature in using a pressure cooker (4) pet cock opened too soon. Petcock should not be opened and cover removed until hand on guage goes back to zero. (5) Improperly adjusted lids (6) steam leaking lntermittently from canner. CD Cooling the canner too rapidly.
 Why do bubbles appear in the jar after it is taken from the cooker to cool?" Bubbles often appear in the jar after it is re- moved from the cooker because the food is still boiling in the jar. Ordinarily bubbles do not ap- pear, after contents are cooled, unless jar is shaken. A very tight pack of food may show air bub- bles.
 It is never wise for homemak- CTS to try short cuts or easy meth ods of canning which have been passed along to them by others, who have not given the method a thorough trial. A method may work one summer, but fail the next time it is tried. Many jars of food spoil because the method used for canning was not one re- commended by canning authori- ties who have done enough re- search work to be sure of the cor

Uniform AIcan Cereal Hest Program Results
 From Canadians Visit

Arthur Guitard, in charge of cereal work at the Dominion Ex- pertinent Station at Beaverlodge, Alberta was in the Valley this week conferring with cereal spec ialists at the local experiment station.
 He was interested in a cooper ative testing program which would include the station at Beaverlodge and three Canadian substations at Fort Vermillion, Fort Simpson, and Mile 1919 and the Matanuska and Fairbanks Experiment Stations. As a result of his visit here, a new interna- tional uniform cereal variety testing program was organized. It will be known as the Uniform Alcan Cereal Tests.
 MT. Guitard was impressed with the recently organized Alas ka Certified Seed Growers Asso- citation and the two new cereal varieties offered by it this year, Edda barley and Golden Rain roats. a He was also enthusiastic about the new Saunders wheat variety recently put on the Canadian market after several years of testing at the Beaverlodge sta ton.
 Dr. s. C. Litzenberger, in charge of cereal investigations for the Alaska Experiment Sta tion said that Saunders wheat is being included in the uniform AL aska cereal variety tests which gre being grown this season at IT localities throughout the Ter ritory.
 If it continues in it's perform ance as it has in the past two years, it will probably be added to the standard list of varieties of the Alaska Certified Seed Crow ers' Assn.", Dr. Litzenberger said.

rect canning principle. Don't take a chance. A spoiled jar or can means money, time and effort wasted.
 And too, be kind to yourself on those canning days. Eat a good breakfast, wear comfortable clothing, and see that your kitch- en is clean and orderly. Work in good light at working height just right for good posture. Use the right tools, well sharpened knives and slicers. A fancy pack is a waste of time, but pieces can be cut uniformly and attractively. Be sure to enlist the family's help.

SUNSET BOULEvARD'' OPENING TONIGHT AS. 2OTH CENTUnY'5 BILL.

The next Acadamey Award win ner is Sunset Boulevard" which opens tonight at the 20th Century Theatre. Never before has Holly wood produced a picture that has the mark of greatness so clearly imprinted on it, and it's doubtful that the effort ever will be dupli- cated.
 Sunset Boulevard" is the incred- ibly fascinating story of an aging silent movie queen. a young, dis illusioned screen writer with whom she falls in love and girl who also loves the writer. It might also be described as the story of Holly wood without makeup.
 Sunset Boulevard" would be memorable film if only because it marks the return to the screen of Gloria Swanson. In the role of Nor ma Desmond, the faded movie star who refuses to believe the public has forgotten her, she is magnifi- cent. And there aren't enough sup erlatives to heap on William Holden for his portrayal of the screen writer. Easily the top performance of his career, it establishes him as one of the film capitals finest actors.
 Other well-nigh perfect portray als are turned in by Erich von Stroheim and Nancy Olson. as well as by the brilliant supporting cast which includes Fred Clark. Tlcvd Cough, Jack Webb, Cecil B. DeMille, Buster Keaton, Anna Q. Nilsson ana H. B. Warner.
