Use OF Foreign Oil In US.
Gets Protest From 2 Groups
BY SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK F. The swelling
river of foreign Oil flowing to
these shores is bringing a loud
clamor today from two sources:
Coal mine operators and work
ers object to the competition of
the foreign fuel.
Small American oil producers
and even big companies who have
only American oil to peddle are
asking congress to erect quota
dams against the flood of the
cheaper foreign product.

barrels a day, about twice the
rate in 1913, according to the In

TREE PRESENTS TOP CHRISTMAS FIRE HAZARD

The festive act of bringing in the Christmas tree' is also a po- tentially dangerous one, Fire Chief Joseph Gallant pointed out this week.
 The tree is highly combustible. Filled with pitch and resin, it will ignite very easily and burn so furiously that it is almost inn possible to extinguish.
 To minimize the danger, Chief Gallant suggests some simple but effective National Board of Fire Underwriters safety precautions.
 1. Choose a small tree. It's just as pretty and is less of hazard than large tree.
 2. When you set it up stand it in water in the coolest part of the house, away from radia- tors, heaters or fireplaces. Don't let it block an exit. If it must go near a radiator, turn that radia- tor off.
 3. Never use cotton or paper as decorations on or under the tree unless they are flameproof.
 4. Don't set up electric trains under the tree and never trim it with candles; use only electric lighting sets. Be sure every wire and socket is in good condition.
 Inspect the tree from time to time to see if needles near any of the lights have started to turn brown. If so, move the lights. Never leave the tree lights burn ing when no one is home.
 When needles start to fall, take your tree down and discard it outdoors.

Skiers Plan
 New Years Party

Senior members of the Matan- uska Ski Club are planning their second annual New Years Eve skiing party at Little Susitna, De- cember 31.
 Because there has not been enough snow for good skiing in the area this year the club has not become very active this win ter. The new tow is nearly com pleted and as soon as ample snow has fallen, the official season will open. Skiers have been getting in a little practice on the tow hill but there is not yet enough snow to operate the tow.
 Anchorage skiers have been invited to the party which will be held at the Little Susitna Lodge.

Palmer Ties Fairbanks For RaiIbeIt First Place

Palmer basketball fans are eagerly looking forward to the game to be played Wednesday at the Palmer School gymnasium be- tween the Anchorage Eagles and the Palmer Moose. This is the second time the two schools have met this year, the first ending in defeat for the Palmer players. However Wednesdays game sees Coach Robert Critics players with two railbelt wins in back of them and we'll prepared to take on the Eagles.
 By defeating the Seward Sea hawks in the two games played on the Palmer court last Friday and Saturday, the Palmer High School basketball team is now tied with Fairbanks for first place in the railbelt conference.
 Friday nights game was play ed tight, right up to. the third quarter when Palmer's team opened up against the Seahawks and ran up Is points in the quar- ter, ten of which Don Ingalls, earned by dropping five through the loop with sure-fire accuracy. The period ended with Palmer ln a comfortable lead, 36-27. How ever, during the fourth quarter the Seward hoopsters pushed their score up to 39 at the final horn-not enough to better Pal mer's 45 point total.
 Another big period for the Pal mer team was played during the fourth quarter in Saturdays game when a total of 20 points was scored ending the game m Palmer's favor 53 to 46. Both teams opened rather slow Satur- day night, with see-saW SCOT ing through the first quarter that ended 12-11, with the Seahawks trailing. Opening the second quar- ter with rally that looked like business, the visitors tallied 19 points to lead the Palmer team by 3O-23 at half time. During the third quarter the Palmer five pushed their tally up to within one point of the Seahawks and then opened up in the fourth for gap that the Seward boys just couldn't close. Don 1n- gals again led his team with total of 21 points. He was follow ed by teammate Fred Wilkes who tallied IT points.

The real problem: Not which

How the public reacts to the new

der Joshua's trumpets, was pre-.
ceded by an earlier city at least
1000 years ago.
An Anglo-American team of ar.
chaeologists has unearthed the re.
mains Of two cities, one estimated
at 1000 and the other $500 years
old, near the present site Of Jeri-
cho on the River Jordan, between
Amman and Jerusalem.
The remains were first located
some 50 years ago by d German
archeologist, but no excavations
we're undertaken. The two cities
are overlapping and are buried
under a small hill.
Experts Of the British School Of
Archaeology and the American
School for Oriental Research who
are conducting the present digging
said the oldest city dates back to
the Neolithic Age, around 5000
B. C.
The younger town, they est.
mate, dates back to the Middle
Bronze Age, around 1900 B. c.
Here's what the Psychologists
say about the two ancient Jeri-
chOes:
Inhabitants OF the older city did
not know pottery and used stone
utensils as bowls. The city was
surrounded by a stone wall.
Houses we're made Of baked bricks
with plastered smooth floors, some
Of them cOlored. No inscriptions
or drawings have been unearthed
thus far and the language, race
and religion Of inhabitants Of the
old city still remain a mystery.
Diggings at the level Of the
new" city have yielded finely
made pottery Of all sizes and
shapes. Although houses were
built with bricks, several stairs
carved out Of stone have been dis
covered, leading up the hill.
Objects discovered among the
ruins Of the new" city include

Archeologists, hopeful to learn
more about the inhabitants Of the
two ancient cities, expect their
work to continue for at least wc
years.
