GUARANTEE OF VALUE

All of naturally like to find bargains. All of us, when shopping try to get top return for each dollar spent And in the ongrun the surest way to achieve that is to patronize established merchants who are concerned with the future-not just todays sales.
 That was the theme of an editorial in the Garner, Iowa, Leader The paper advised its readers: Tn any hometown the reputable merchants and dealers will be the kind of people that you like and trust. This editor does not think you will lose any peace of mind of money if you rely them for good values at fair price. I am that you will find this procedure is much safer and simpler than searching for bargains in strange places."
 Many ''bargan," bought at alleged big dis count from some fly-by-night operator, has proven worthless The established local merchants chain and independent have to protect their reputations-and that's your best guarantee of value.

Climbers Killed in Avalanche They Were Warned Of

LAKE LOUISE, Alberta, R- Four of seven members of near ly all-woman Mexican mountain climbing party were swept to their deaths Friday by an ava lanche high on a glacier they had been warned to avoid.
 Six women and man were in the group. The man is believed to be one of the four whose bodies were recovered. No identifications were yet available.
 The Mexicans were caught in a roaring mass of snow and ice while descending to the head of Victoria Glacier, near here in the Canadian Rockies. Peaks in the area average 11,000 feet.
 A rescue party of Alpihists reached the scene four hours after the accident.
 Guides had refused to accom- pany the Mexican party because of frequent avalanches at this time of year in the glacier region, and had warned the climbers against the venture.
 The tragedy was witnessed by several persons watching the pro- gress of the party through binoc- ulars.
 Cliff Coalpitts, who had his glasses on the climbers, said the awesome avalanche broke loose without warning and thundered down on the climbers as they were moving in two groups across a perilous traverse.
 The leading four, roped togeth- CT, were engulfed in the avalanche and carried to their death down the glacier. The other three were caught in the fringe of the slide but managed to hold on.

Canadian Plan to Tap Yukon Balks Alaska Project
tBY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

A Canadian company's plan to tap the Yukon River watershed for power for a huge metallurgi- cal industry may deprive Alaska of a proposed 400 million dollar aluminium industry.
 This development appeared last week when Frobisher Ltd. applied to the British Columbia govern ment for water rights license to the B.C. section of the Yukon watershed.
 In Pittsburgh, an official of the Aluminium Company of America said:
 "We are not interested if Fro bisher goes ahead. If they develop something there, it looks like we'll be out"
 Two years ago ALCOA an nounced it would build a 400 million dollar aluminium m-smelting plant near SkagWay. The plan was contingent upon the acquisi- ton of land and, equally impor- tant, depended upon obtaining water power from Canadian sources.
 ALCOA considered damming the Yukon River at Miles Canyon, near Whitehorse, to obtain the vast quantities of electric power required for processing aluminium.
 On Jan. 13, 1853, the Canadian government announced it had re- jected ALCOA's application for water and said it was its responsi- bility to see that the waters were used for the maximum benefit" of Canadians.
 The Frobisher Company's appli- cation was the first step toward converting a northern wasteland into a power supply for a 270 million dollar metallurgical indus try. The vast enterprise plans to harness the watershed extending 200 miles north and 300 miles east and west in north B.C. and the southern Yukon.
 The watershed can develop 4,300,000 horsepower, potential twice as great as the energy to be developed by the St. Lawrence SeaWay project.

BEST SOURCE OF PROTEIN

Americans are hearty meat eaters. We consume 65 900 900 pounds of it every dayenough to fill 25OO railroad refrgerator cars Our annual per capita con- sumption is 76 pounds, which is we'll ahead of most other countries.
 Many authorities think that within the next 10 years American beef consumption and should rise to perhaps double the current level. The American National Cattlemens Assn is engaged in nation wide beef promotion program and packers and retail CTS are cooperating The programs theme is Beef is your best source of protein.
 That is much more than just an attractive slogan. It's matter of scientific fact One of the major dis coveres of recent years in the field of detetcs is that beef because of it's high protein content contributes greatly to the mental and physical health and vigor of individuals It also has been found valuable in from many forms of illness. And it is food which the average person eat day and still find palatable.

Army Sergeant Required Pay for Support of His
 Divorced Wife's Children

HOUSTON, Tex, R-A former Army sergeant who testified his divorced wife is the Seattle secre- tary of the Communist Party, was ordered by District Judge Spur geon Bell Friday to pay $50 a month toward support of his two children.
 McAllister Hargrave, 37, said in court he was discharged in 1853 after 20 years of military service when federal agents discovered his former wife, Mrs. Fortuna Hargrave, was Communist.
 Hargrave testified he did not know of his former Wife's Con- munist activities until he was so informed by FBI agents while working on radar installations at Fairbanks, Alaska.
 He told Bell that difficulties in finding permanent employment employment since his discharge have made it impossible for him to pay the $96 monthly payments ordered by a Seattle court for support of his children at the time the divorce was granted.
