Frontier Airlines has applied
for an extension of its Route 70
from Williston to Regina, in order
to connect the capital of the prov
ince of Saskatchewan with Bill
ings and Denver. One carrier
service from Regina to Minneapo-
liS-St. Paul would also be pos
sible under Frontiers previous
ly requested route from Bismarck
to the Twin Cities. Regina, a city
of over $4,000 is the only pro-
vincial capital in Canada that does
not have direct air service to the
United States Frontier also
has an application in for service
on the Highline which includes
Glasgow, Havre and Great Falls.
Direct air service from Regina
and Great Falls to Sidney would
really help the passenger loads
here in Sidney.
The aviation world is still dis
cussing the "slow roll" demon
stration of the Boeing TOT jet
transport by test pilot "Tex"
johnson for 100000 spectators at
tending the Gold Cup speed boat
races in Seattle early this month.
The Boeing TOT is a straight Jet
designed to fly transcontinental
nonstop and transatlantic non
stop with high regularity from
London to New York. Seating
more than 100 passengers and
cruising at about $50 mph, this
jet will eventually gross close to
100000 pounds. The Douglas DEB
is also a contender for this blue
ribbon type of trade. Both the
Boeing TOT and the Douglas DEB
are expected to be in service by
1858.

Almost as Many
Rules as Trees
By JACK JONAS

A mass evacuation Of some
5000 Christmas trees-their
well regulated and rule-filled
lives at an end - is under
way from Government build
ings in and around Washing
ton.
The trees, like everything
else in Government, have
been getting more numerous
over the years. That's why
special regulations had to be
drawn for handling them.
In the Triangle area alone,
there were an estimated 300
trees decorating Federal Of
fees this year, trimmed by
Office workers to keep the
festive spirit. A lot of them
are still around. They range
from a foot and a half high
up to the big 15-footer in the
Commerce Building lobby.

tration, charged with taking
care of the buildings and, as
a part of that, disposal of the

Theft Charged to Woman
May Exceed $500, 900

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 80 (H9.--
A businesswoman well known for
her contributions to church and
charity faced a 100000 grand
larceny charge today in an en-
bezzlement case that eventually
may total 81 million.
The charge was placed against
Miss Minnie G. Mangurn. So.
So, 000-a-year official of the
Commonwealth Building g. Loan
Association. She was accused of
embezzling the 100000 from
her employer over a period of
a year.
commemorative Attorney Lin
wood Tabb. jr., said he had been
advised there were additional ir-
regularities that would swell the
total to at least $500, 900 over
five years. A company spokes-
man said it may be two months
before auditors can determine
the exact loss to the firm. one OF
the largest of its kind in eastern
Virginia.
100000 in Assets Recovered
The Spokesman said the COM
pany has recovered assets valued
at 5000. 900 from Miss Mangum,
including eight houses worth
$4,000. One of the homes was
the modest bungalow where she
lived with her sister m nearby
Portsmouth.
The president Of Common
wealth said the association has
more than $2.l million in
its reserves to cover losses
and noted each account in the
firm is Federally insured up to
$4,000. Commemorative assets
are listed at $23 million.
The company said Miss Man
gum was covered with $3.50. 600
blanket bond.
She was released last night on
SOS. 900 bond.

ment charges against Miss
