Why shouldn't Uncle Sam
continue research to help today's
busy housewife operate her home
more easily and manage it more
economically?
This question was put forward
today by leading home econo-
mists who came here to pro-
test recent action of the Agri-
culture Department in greatly
curtailing research in the home
making field.
The women-most of them
members of the Advisory Com
mittee of the American Home
Economics Association-plan to
carry their protests to Congress.
They argue that since Congress
authorized the various phases of
home research, only Congress
can order them curtailed.
Recently. DR.. B. T. Shaw,
director of the department s
Agricultural Research Service,
issued directive that future
activities of the agency's home
economics branch be limited
largely to food and nutrition.
For 80 years, the branch had
been carrying on research on
textiles, clothing. home equip
ment, home management, budget
making and other homeworking
problems as well as on nutri-
ton and preparation of food.
This work formed the basis for
scores of bulletins. It also
played a role in home economics
courses at colleges and univer-
stiles.

MATANUSKA VALLEY STUD CROP LOSS NEAR Sl5O,OOO COMMISSIONER SAYS

icy, the Alaska Department of Agriculture reported. Growers whose yields usually run be- tween seven and ten tons per acre are reporting yields as low as three tons. A few fields will not be dug because of low ton mage, the report added.
 The Matanuska Valley produc- ed 3,785 tons in 1854, but this years potato crop probably will not exceed 2,500 tons in spite of a reported ten percent increase in plantings..
 Information from the Anchor age, Homer, Kenai and Tanana Valley areas indicates the reduc- ed yields are general for Alaska which could mean a total loss of approximately quarter of a million dollars in farm income.
 The unusual season affected other crops to a lesser degree; however, the quality of produce has ben very good. The early frost resulted in better maturity of potatoes which will improve their keeping and cooking quail itiRS.

SPAGHETTI PASSES

Something old was Subtracted from Palmer horizons this week but few mourners were on hand to cheer the passing of main streets spaghetti.
 The informal Spaghetti-cutting ceremony was witnessed offici- ally by Police Chief Bernie Bou- wens and MTA Manager Bob Partridge. Cutting the wire fes- toons which have looped grotes- quely from pole to pole opposite the city's main business section for nearly ten years, was a tick fish job, Partridge said. There was chance the poles might come down, too, and some of those were property of the U. s. Gov ernment.
 Only spaghetti remaining is that along the highway. That goes next, the MTA Manager promised.

Grim Hunt for
 Killer Bear Follows Death of Victim

Fifty miles above Eureka, in the vicinity of the Big Oshetna River, a grim hunt for a killer bear is in progress.
 Volunteer hunters, friends of Willis R. Mcbride, 29, who was killed by the grizzly Monday afternoon, have organized the widespread hunt in the area.
 Mcbride was killed after he and his hunting companion, Vic Vukovich of Goat Creek had separated to search for the bear they had spotted with a moose kill from their plane. Worried when Mcbride failed to return to the plane, Vukovich flew over the area and discovered the mauled body of his friend.
 U. s. Marshal Fred Williamson, returning Tuesday from heli- copter flight to recover the body, concluded that Mcbride, an ex- perienced hunter, had apparent ly been the victim of surprise attack by the bear. Wind carried the hunters scent toward the grizzly, and a slight rise in ground apparently curtained the wary bear from McBride's view, the U. s. Marshall said. Mcbride resided in Spenard.

Those regularly inducted into the
