lSO Passengers Sail Aboard Aleutian In Season Opener

SEATTLE - A hundred and eighty passengers sailed for Alas ka on the initial departure of the year of Alaska Steamship Company's steamer Aleutian May P inaugurating the 1853 Alaska tourist season.
 Coinciding with National Mari time Day, this departure was honored in Seattle in conjunction with the 134th anniversary of the sailing of the first steam vessel to cross the Atlantic. This was the Savannah. She sailed from Savannah, Georgia for Liverpool, England on May P, 1919.
 Visitors at Pier 42 for the oc- casion were addressed by Mayor Allen Pomeroy of Seattle in a program which included music by a five-piece band, Miss Maritime and her court, and the presenta- ton of co-chairmen of the Mari time Day Labor Committee: Maxie Weisbarth, Sailors Union of the Pacific Agent, and Art Ol- sen, Secretary of the International Longshoremen's and Warehouse mems Union Seattle local.
 D. E. Skinner, vice president and general manager of Alaska Steamship Company, in a brief talk, spoke of the early history and development of the company since 1895. He pointed out that the four company passenger yes sells, whose future is uncertain, constitute four -fifthS of the U. S.. domestic passenger fleet and that Matson Lines Lurline is the only other passenger vessel in this ser vice.
 After acknowledging excesses of management and labor in the past, Skinner referred to the new era of cooperation between labor and management and suggested that this held the solution of pre- sent-day shipping problems.

newspaper underneath the

ANSWERS TO QUERIES.
MRS. J. NJ. j., SiIper Spring.
I should have written this
letter weeks ago but perhaps
you can file the recipes for
next years use. |
For Mrs. H.W.G., Alexan-
dria: This is a delicious recipe
for watermelon rind pre-
serves: One pound prepared
watermelon rind, l tablespoon
lime or salt, 2 quarts water,
2 cups sugar, Il lemon, sliced
thin, 2 tablespoons sliced pre-
served ginger. Pare the rind
and remove the pink edges.
Cut into 1-inch cubes and let
stand overnight in solution of
lime or salt and l quart water.
Drain and rinse with cold
water. Cover with boiling
water and cook Is minutes.
Drain. Combine sugar and
remaining quart of water and
boil 5 minutes. Add rind, lem
on and ginger. Cook rapidly
until the rind is clear. Let
stand in sirup overnight. Re-
heat to boiling, pour into
sterile jars and seal. It makes
y pintS.
I was appalled, at the recipe
for making tea given some
time ago. It said to use hot,
not boiling water and let it
steep for several hours. I can
imagine how it must taste!
I have been verbally slapped
down recently for a Sugges-
ton / sent in, so I don't feel
to bad about making this cor
rection. Always use boiling
water for tea and never steep
it for more than five minutes.
I would much rather have my
tea cloudy than improperly
made.
For Mrs. E. L. Herndon:
Keep this recipe for next sum-
mer. It is a good one for
watermelon pickle and not
sweet. 2 quarts water, u cup
salt, 2 pounds cubed water
melon rind, 2 cups vinegar, 2
cups cold water, 4 cups sugar,
lemon, thinly sliced; 2 one
inch cinnamon sticks, table
spoon whole cloves, l teaspoon
picking spices. Trim green
outer cover and pink flesh
from rind. Soak overnight in
solution of 2 quarts water and
z cup salt. Drain and rinse
thoroughly. Cover rind with
fresh water, Cook. until al
most tender (about IS min
utes). Drain. Combine cider
vinegar, 2 cups cold water,
sugar and lemon slices in ket-
tie. Tie cinnamon sticks,
cloves and picking spices in a
cheesecloth bag. Add to mix
ture in kettle. Bring mixture
to boil and simmer for 10 min
uteS. Add cooked rind and
simmer until clear and trans
parent (about l hour. Pack
rind in hot sterile jars to
within q inch of top. Cover
with boiling Sirup from kettle.
Seal at once. This makes 2
pints. My book says jars
should be boiled for Is to 20
minutes to be sterilized.

FIG RECIPES;
QUERY?

(MTS. 3. s., StLDer SpTtngD
Here are a few recipes and
answers to readers requests:
Sweet Picked Figs: 7poundS
ripe, firm figs; 5 pounds sugar,
pint good sour vinegar, l cup
water, q cup whole cloves, l
stick cinnamon. Wash figs,
put spices, sugar. water and
vinegar in pot and let boil.
Drop figs in boiling sirup.
Bring to rolling boil. Cut heat
off. Cover and let stand over
night. Repeat three times,
and can last time. Use slotted
spoon to remove from Sirup.
Reduce sugar by one pound for
less sweet pickle.
Southern Fig Preserves:
Choose firm, ripe figs, but not
too soft. Drop them into a
soda water bath made by
adding / tablespoon soda to
one quart of water. Let stand
Is minutes. Remove; rub off
fuzz and slough skin. Put into
wide open bottle. To each
quart of figs ado / cup of
sugar, /, cup water, u sliced
lemon, and l or two pieces Of
ginger root. Bring slowly to a
boil. Cook slowly until fruit is
clear and tender but still hold
ing original form. Let sirup
cook down thick. If figs be-
come too done before sirup is
thick, remove fruit, pack in
jars, and let sirup continue
cooking until thick. Pour over
fruit and seal at once.
Are there any such things as
picked turnips? They're sup
posed to be a great delicacy,
according to Lii Abner."

FISHING ROD.
(Mr. II. H. NJ, Takonld Park

INT. II. n. NJ, ukOHLu FdTEI
Here is a mere mans re-
action to the inquiry by Mrs.
K. j. H. Of Falls Church for
information about the repair
of a fishing rod which had
become unglued. My advice,
if it is a split bamboo rod and
If the sections have separated,
is, don't try.
Whenever sections of a split
bamboo rod have separated, it
is almost a foregone conclusion
that the rod was either put
away while wet or stored
where it had been exposed to
moisture. A good split bam-
boo rod will last for years with
the proper care; but when
water once gets into the Sec
tions, it is just too bad.
The lady will save time, trou-
BILE and money, and at the same
time make her husband very
happy, by investing the saw
ings in one of the So-called
"glasS rods" These modern
rods have almost everything
the old split bamboo rods ever
had and they require a mini
mum of care.
I believe that the lady will
find that any experienced rod
repair man will advise her
that it would be hardly worth
while to attempt to repair a
split bamboo rod. OF course,
If the furrules have become
loose, it is a simple matter to
make that repair. All that is
needed is a stick of ferrule ce-
ment which will cost about Is

Planes Continue Search For Plane of Gilman Hall

KETCHIKAN, LR - Military planes from the United States and Canada and civilian pilots, spur red on by the promise of $25 1000 reward took to the air again at dawn on the fourth day of search for a wealthy New Mexico oilman and four others missing since Monday on a flight to the states.
 Reports of an unidentified plane sighted Monday night sent many of the .searchers to the west side of Prince of Wales island in the hunt for the private twin-engine De Havilland Dove piloted by Ellis Hall, 54, of Albuquerque.
 The plane, with Hall, his wife and two daughters, and 17-year- old Patrick Abmard, vanished Monday after taking off from Annette Island on a flight to Bellingham, Wash.
 Military planes logged 108 hours in the air and covered 72,27O square miles in the area between Annette and Smithers, B.C. yes terday. The Coast Guard said rain and fog in the area made the search only 20 per cent effective.

l42,277 American Casualties To Date In Korean War

WASHINGTON, R LII The De- fense Department Thursday an- nounced a preliminary battle cas- ualty total of 142,277 Americans killed, wounded and missing for the whole Korean War.
 The tentative total was given in what the Pentagon said would be the last regular weekly summary of battle casualties. It showed a net decrease of 17 from last week, reflecting the addition of 19 killed, 9 decrease of 23 missing and a transfer of 19 wounded to a non- battle classification.
 Auditing of casualty figures will continue for months, possibly years, before a final figure can be reached to tell the full story of the cost of the Korean conflict in terms of dead, wounded and miss ing.
 The revision process will inevit- ably raise the tentative death toll of 25,6O4, as confirmation is ob- tained on American deaths in en- emy prison camps. The number of missing will decrease gradually as the death toll rises. The miss ing figure will eventually reach a theoretical zero when, after all the cheeks and Investigations are completed, men remaining on the missing list will be declared dead.

Japanese American G.I.
 Gets Congressional Medal When Freed by Commies

PANMUNJOM, R- The great Korean War prisoner exchange passed the halfway mark Thurs day and there was every indica- tion the Reds will start sending home larger numbers of Ameri- cans daily.
 Sixty Americans, 90 British and 300 Koreans were freed yesterday in the 18th day of exchange at this tiny village.
 One weary American repatriate Thursday was starteled with the news that he had won Americas s highest combat award-the Con- gresional Medal of Honor. The story had been kept secret to pre- vent any Red reprisals against the 27 year old Japanese-American sergeant, Hiroshi Miyamura of Gallup, New Mexico.
 The award was given Miya- mura for holding back attacking Reds with machinegun fire while his men withdrew during an at tack before he was captured in 1851.
