The Samuel Darrs of Blueridge
Avenue took off while their chill
dren were away-Lois being in
Mexico City and Dorothy at
Camp Mayflower - to visit
friends and relatives in Rochest-
err, Pittsburgh and Beaver Falls.
They returned home for time to
get their camping equipment, and
then headed south to Sherando
place apparently we'll
known to campers, south of
Waynesboro, Va. There, they not
only had a relaxing time, but
met several friends from Silver
Spring an dthe Olney area. Mrs.
Darr was pointing out to me that
camping is fine for everyone
and even tiny tots learn to take
on responsibilities when camping
out. At Sherando, a neighboring
couple had a two-year-old who
helped his parents gather wood
for the fire, and another neigh
boring couple had couple of
young daughters whose job it
was to keep the family supplied
with wood for cooking.
The Darrs had time, also, to
visit Dorothy while she was at
Mayflather - the Girl Scout
Camp. 1t was parents day and
the girls put on quite show for
their families. Parents were
shown around the camp then
treated to a swimming meet
which was highlight of the day.
Clowns on the diving board, races
and relays made up a portion of
the meet. Two of the relays
might be used by other groups
planning similar meets. In the
first, girls swan across the pool
in bluejeans and blouseS, took
them off on the other side where
their relay-mates had to don
them, cross, where they were eX-
changed. Can you imagine how
soggy and Happy bluejeans can
be in a swimming poo? In an
other relay the girls sw am (us-

The Associated Press average
of SO stocks lost 80 cents on the
week and closed at $136.20. That
is 80 cents under the peak Of the
year attained last Friday and
touched again the following
Tuesday.
One thing worried technicians
for time this week-the rail-
roads. Carriers had not been
acting as well as the rest Of the
market in recent sessions. In
fact they were depressed to the
point where some feared that
their weakness could cause the
rest of the market to topple in
q sympathetic reaction.
The railroads themselves gave
little encouragement. One line
after another reported disap-
pointing earnings. The AsSocia-
ton of American Railroads pre-
dicted fourth-quarter freight
traffic would be between 8 and
8 per cent under q year ago.
On Thursday the railroads got
down to a level that techniciails
considered critical. When it was
seen that the railroads weren't
going any lower, q buying rush
developed with such strength
that the entire market was
carried up.

OVERSEAS CALLS TO COST MORE JULY i

The spiraling cost of commod- ities and services which has pre- vailed in recent years has neces- sitated an increase in rates for telephone calls between Alaska and the United States, Colonel M R. Kunitz, commanding of- ficer of the Alaska Communica- ton System, announced this week. The new rates, which will be effectvie July 1, will reflect the first increase since 1945.
 Four civilian employee wage increases since World War II, increased shipping and transpor- tation costs to and within the ter ritory, and the high cost of main taining a communications system under adverse weather conditions and in rugged terrain, were indi- cated as factors which contr:but- ed to the necessity for a rate in- crease at this time. The telephone user in Alaska is also obtaining better quality and faster long distance telephone service as a result of recent expansion of fac ilities and modernization of tele- phone plant by ACS at a con- siderable cost.
 The rate adjustment will am- ount to 25-cent per minute in- crease in the rates for long dis tance calls between Alaska and the U. S., however, the present maximum rate of S9.00 for three minute call will not be changed. For example, a person to-person three minute day rate call from Juneau or Ketchikan to Seattle will cost S5.25, plus fed eral tax, as compared with S4.50 plus tax under the old rate sch edule. The same type call from Anchorage or Fairbanks to Seat l tie will cost S6.75 plus tax, as 1 compared with $500 plus tax. It was pointed out that the reduc- ton in the federal tax from 25 percent to 10 percent, effective l April first, practically negated the impact of the rate increase. Col. Kunitz further stated that since 1945 the price of most l everything people buy in Alaska has gone up over B percent, whereas this telephone rate in- crease will amount to an aver age of about II percent to the using customer-far lower than increased cost of most other pro- ducts and services Alaska resi- l dents buy.

WATERFOWL SURVEY PLANS COMPLETED

Plans for the annual waterfowl breeding ground surveys to, be conducted in Canada and the United States Gncluding Alaska) this spring and summer were recently announced by Secretary of the Interior Douglas Mckay.
 Basic informaton to guide of- ficials of both countries in draft ing approprate regulations for hunting wild ducks, geese, and coots during the 1954-55 season will be gathered.
 Aerial and ground observa- tions, beginning in May and ex- tending to the hunting season, will bring forth pertinent facts about breeding pairs, water con- ditions, and the new generation of birds.
 Emphasis will be placed on banding operations as basis for future studies of hunting pres sures, mortality rates, and bird distributions.
