the Great Lakes and national
parks. Not to mention a long
list Of historic sites and remote
places from coast to coast.
Nationwide, these vacation
spots can be reached over a 3.3
million mile network of roads
and streets. But especially for
those vacation plans that involve
long trips, there is one group OF
highways which is most apt to
figure in the family itinerary.
That is the National System OF
Interstate Highways.
This 40,e00-mile system links
AZ State capital cities and about
80 per cent of all cities over 50.-
600 population. 1t is the key
network from the standpoint OF
commerce and industry. national
defense and vacation travel.
Far Below Standard
For all its vital Importance,
much OF the interstate system
today is far below the standards
that are necessary to provide
safe, efficient, comfortable motor
ing. There are many fine. fully
adequate stretches OF highway
located on the Interstate System
and motorists welcome them.
Generally they are SO short
In length as to constitute only
a sample of what is possible
Nearly every State has at least
a small mileage Of these modern
facilities-four or six-lane d.
vided highways, broad shoulders
and intersections protected by
grade separations to carry cross
trafic over or under the main
arterials and some with controlled
access.
These expire ss ways and
throughways are the answer tc
the most serious traffic problems
whether in crowded cities or or
heavily travelled rural routes
They save time and distance
and human lives.
Yet even on the Interstate
System only about one-sixth Of
the mileage is fully up to the
standards set by the American
Association of State Highway
officials. Over a period of years
these officials, in cooperation
with the Bureau of Public Roads

Israel's Negev Desert and one ex-
change of rifle fire across the
GAIA frontier several hours after.
Unofficial reports from Cairo

Canadian Proposes
4 Corridors Thru
Alaska Panhandle

OTTAWA, R-CorridorS thru
the Alaska panhandle to give the
Yukon and northern British Col
umbia access to the Pacific Ocean
were proposed yesterday in the
House of Commons.
j. A. Simmons, Laborite from
the Yukon Territory, urged Elk
ternal Affairs Minister Pearson
to seek an immediate conference
with United States authorities to
enlist their support of the project.
Speaking in the budget debate,
Simmons described the Alaska
panhandle as an economic barrier
to the development of the Yukon,
northern British Columbia and
the panhandle itself.
The panhandle is a long, mar
row strip of Alaskan coastal terri
tory running down the west side
of northern BIC.
Establishment of corridors thru
the Panhandle, Simmons said,
would improve trade relations be-
tween Canada and the us. and
strengthen the economies of the
Yukon, BIC, and Alaska.
He proposed four corridors, or
access ways. The first would be
along the 21-mile Alaskan section
of the White Pass and Yukon
Railway to Skagway. The others
would be along the Taku River to
a port at or near the mouth of
that river, along the Stikine River
valley to the mouth of the river
near Wrangell, and from Pleasant
Camp along the Chilkat River val
ley to Haines.
Simmons said none of the us.
ports at these four points had
flourished or prospered. They
would develop rapidly, he said, If
they handled traffic from the Yu-
kon and northern BIC.

Mrs. COrrine Call,
Former Teacher
Here. Dies at 80

SEATTLE, tR-Mrs. Corinne
Call, about 80, retired Alaska
and Seattle school teacher, who
adopted eight Eskimo children and
educated all of them, died at her
home here Sunday.
Mrs. Call was born in Washing
ton, DC, and graduated from the
University of Chicago and Drake
University. She and her husband,
the late Warren Call, who were
teaching school in Seattle, left

Together they taught in an Es-
kimo village on Bristol Bay. Her
husband died there about a year
later, and Mrs. Call remained in
Alaska 30 years as a teacher.
Mrs. Gail was teacher in Nome
with the ANS from 1924 through
1927. She lived here with her four
adopted daughters whom she
raised, including a blind child,
Melba, who is particularly re-
membered. Later, as these chill
dren grew up she adopted more
children, all of whom she raised
and educated.
In her later years Mrs. Call
worked as a cleaning woman to
provide for the education of the
younger children she had adopted.
Among those surviving her are
Mrs. Melba King and Mrs. Sally
Quint, both of Seattle; Mrs. Anna
Snyder, Nome; Mrs. Mia Carter,
Fairbanks, and Olga Crooks, of

Nome Teen-Agers
Invited To nv

ayers from Nome to appear on
an hour-long TV show in New
York City in May. The program,
a very popular morning TV show,
Good Morning" is emceed by
viii Rogers Jr.,
The only catch to the invitation,
stated Carl Webb, to whom the
communication was sent, is that
the group must provide their
own transportation from Nome to
New York City and return. The
theme of the program will be in
connection with a youth center
for Nome, so badly needed since
the USO Club closed here last
year
Leaders of civic organizations
are getting together to see what
can be done about arranging for
the transportation.
Every effort will be made to
enlist the cooperation of the
Visitors Association and
the various airlines in working
out a plan for the Nome group
to participate in the program.

With Proper Care,
poinsetta Plant
Will Bloom Auain

That popular Christmas plant,
the poinsettia, need not be dis
carded when the holiday is over.
The right care can keep it in
condition for blooming again
next year.
Horticulture specialists say you
need not be alarmed about drop
ping leaves. Leaf dropping
simply means the plant is going
into its normal rest period,
which lasts until about May /.
After the leaves fall, PUT the
plant in a cool place-40 to so
degrees and water sparingly.
About May /, cut the plant back
quite heavily, to remove excess
wood and make it more shapely.
Shake off the old soil and re-
pot in mixture of three parts
garden loan, one part well-rot-
ted manure and one part leaf
mold. Use a pot just large en-
ough to hold the mass of roots
| without crowding and still prov
ide good drainage. Water en-
ough to keep the soil from dry
ing out.
In about another month, when
| weather is warm, set the potted
plant outdoors, submerging the
pot in the soil at ground level
or a little below. Put it in full
sunshine unless the weather is
very hot. In that case, give it
light shade When nights cool in
the fall, put it in a window
where there is good light and
air and where temperature is
about 60 to 68 degrees, but with
no draft. Water regularly so that
the soil never dries out and use
little liquid fertilizer every
week.
Long nights, uninterrupted by
even shaft of artificial light,
are needed to bring the poinsettia
into flower.

Happy New Year"
May Be Worlds
Oldest Greeiinq

Happy New Year said in one
way or another, is probably the
worlds oldest and most univer-
sal holiday greeting. e
The coming of the new year
has been marked and celebrated
since prehistoric time. It has not
always been January l, however,
and even now many peoples cele-
brate some other date as New
Years Day.
January /, in fact, is an arbi-
trary date set by the Romans
before Julius Caesar established
the calendar that is the basis for
the date used in most western
countries. January |, in ancient
Rome, marked the day that con-
suls and other officials took
office, and until Caesar set things
straight it was sometimes jug
gled considerably for the politi,
cal benefit of one officeholder OF
another.
An error in Caesars calcula-
ton (365l2 days), however, al
lowed January to creep away
from its original astronomical
place, and by 1882 when Pope
