Oregon Spokesmen Urge CAB To
 Continue Through Air Service
 From Portland To Alaska Markets

two northwest cities should have a common fare rating with Alaska communities.
 Referring to the examiners con- tention that United and Western airlines provide adequate service between Seattle and Portland, Clay said these carriers do not offer satisfactory connections with Alaska-bound carriers, necessitat- ing delay in Alaska shipments.
 "The problems in such delay are placed in focus when it is realized that substantial propor- tion of the freight carried to the territory is perishable and you know what happens to eggs and butter when they sit around wait ing for trans-shipment," he de- clared.
 'The fact of the matter is that the development of Alaska is so important to this country that it just can't be trifled with," Clay asserted. "The continued growth and development of Alaska is de- pendent upon air transportation through a competitive source of supply which the territory has en- joyed only during the last two years. It should not be compelled to return to stifling n-competi- tive conditions formerly existing"

WASHINGTON, R - Repre- sentatives of Oregon intervenors urged the Civil Aeronautics Board yesterday to continue through air service from Portland to Alaska markets.
 The plea was made by three spokesmen, including Mrs. Ruth Van Cleve of the Department of Interior solicitors office, at oral arguments involving air service between the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.
 A CAB examiner has recom- mended renewal of Pacific North ern's authority to fly from Seattle to Anchorage but urged denial of a similar renewal of Alaska Air lines authority to operate be- tween Seattle Portland and Fair banks. He said he found mo justi- fication in extending Alaska flights south of Seattle"
 Frank Clay, representing the Portland Chamber of Commerce, Freight Traffic Assn. and Port, urged renewal of both Alaska and Pacific Northern south to Portland. He said elimination of Portland as a co-terminal with Seattle "is ut- terly incompatible with" the boards finding last year that the

Man Beats Ex-Wife, Takes Al;mony To Make Next Monthly Payment

BALTIMORE, R- Paying $75 weekly alimony really wasn't as expensive as it sounds for Albert w. Foll, his wife told the judge.
 He would pay the money to the probation department and wait until she cashed the departments check. Then he would take the cash away from her to make the next weeks payment, Mrs. Anna Foll testified yesterday. The Polls are legally separated.
 Foll, 43-year-old steel construc- ton worker with six previous con- victions of assaulting his wife, was up in criminal court on a similar charge Mrs. Foll said he beat her again last Sept. 28 after he was notified by probation of ficials to discuss his falling $1,000 behind in alimony payments.
 q love my wife very much and if I hit her I'm sorry" Foll told the judge.
 The judge sentenced him to one year on the assault charge and deferred sentence on another charge of violating probation on the alimony deal.

Safety Council
Rules For Month

Fire claimeG 35 lives last De-
cember, according to Henri Marc,
president, Ohio State Safety Coun-
Gil, and here are some rules he
passes on to you for safety this
December:
Be extra watchful of your heat
ing system. Don't put large quaint
ties of wrapping or packing mater
ial in the furnace or stove. Feed
such materials in small patches.
Some of il blazes rather fiercely.
1t can produce oyerheating- es-
pecially of the flue-in a short
time.
1t is easy to become busy with
holiday preparations and neglect
firing the heater until the house is
chilled. Put on sweater or jacket.
Build the fire slowly-never use
any liquid to hasten the fire.
Choose decorations that will not
burn. Holiday greenery gets tinder
dry. Do not have it in the house
too long. Keep candles a long ways
from the greenery-be sure they
can not tip over to ignite table
linen or curtains.
Costumes for plays or cantatas
figure in many clothing fires.
Some dressing gowns and play
clothes for children-made of pile
fabrics-also ignite rather easily.
There is just one answer-keep
flame away from such garments.
That means do not smoke while
you are in them. A spark from a

High Egg Output
Beats Low Prices

Poultrymen cut egg production
costs 2 cents a dozen when they
increase rate of lay by dozen
eggs per hen. Emil Malinovsky,
Ohio State University extension
poultry specialist, says it takes
constant culling to keep loafers
from eating poultrymen out of
business.
At today's prices, it costs poul-
trymen 35 to 40 cents to produce
dozen eggs if their flock averages
go eggs per 100 hens daily. Feed
costs alone average 20 to 25 cents
a dozen at this level of production.
A 5-pound non-laying hen eats
about SO pounds of feed a year.
That same 5-pound hen would eat
only 80 pounds of feed year at go
percent production.
Malinovsky advises poultrymen
to aim at so percent production or
higher. He emphasizes that hard
working hen eats only a few more
pounds of feed than a loafer.

Freeze And Dry =
New Food Process

Dehydrofrozen apples, apricots,
peas, and pimentos have recently
made their debut in the market
place. Other fruits and vegetables
prepared by this new process will
undoubtedly follow. At present,
these new products are going to
large-Scale food users, but they
may before long be packaged for
home use.
Dehdrofreezing, already in use
by six commercial firms, with
more showing interest, was devel-
oped by the u. S. Department of
Agriculture's Western Regional
Research Laboratory at Albany,
Calf.
A combination of freezing and
partial dehydration, the new pro-
cess offers several advantages over
more conventional methods of food
preparation. Dehydrofrozen fruits
and vegetables weigh less and take
less space than the same quantity
of food prepared by ordinary
freezing. In addition, flavor and
texture are far more natural"
than those resulting from conven-
tional dehydration, and in some
cases superior even to the fresh
frozen product.
Ordinary freezing, it is explain
ed, tends to rupture cellular struc-
ture. That according to the USDA
food preservation experts, explains
why many fruits and vegetables
break down somewhat in texture
after freezing and thawing. Partial
dehydration helps the cells to
stand up better under the freezing
process. On the other hand, in the
partial-drying step temperatures
are kept low enough to prevent
flavor changes characteristic of
ordinary dried foods.
Reconstruction of dehydrofrozen
products in simple. They can be
cooked directly or soaked in water.
