Value and Scope
OF AVA Outlined
To Trade Assn.

VICTORIA, BE, "a report
on the activities of the Alaska
Visitors Assn. and its relation to
the Pacific Northwest and Canada
was given here yesterday.
Speaking before a session Of the
Pacific Northwest Trade Assn.
Conference, B. F. Dunn of juneau
and a director of the association
showed how efforts of the AVA
also helped travel to the other
areas.
He pointed out that visitors to
Alaska also travelled through the
northwest or Canada or both in
order to reach Alaska
The double-pronged program
now under way, Dunn said, is to
make Alaskans aware of the i'm
portance of the visitor industry
and through stateSides promotion
to attract visitors to the territory.
Special buttons are being given
to the visitors together with a
welcoming letter from Gov. B.
Frank Heintzleman, bumper strips
for motorists cars and a Top-o'-
the World Certificate to those Wis
itors interviewed on Alaska radio
and TV stations.
This summer a visitors survey
is to be conducted, he said. On the
stateside activities Dunn listed an
advertising program, recent
publicity trip by AVA Managing
Director Frank H. Whaley, dis
tribution of the first travel agents
manual on Alaska, and the AVA
News Bureau, which is sending
news stories and pictures to some
200 metropolitan daily papers.

Suddenly there was noise
like a thunderclap," said Sister
De Martyrs, one of % nuns who
escaped. THE panes blew out. The
window frames, made of wood,
splintered, and the next second
there was fire everywhere. y
Four of the nuns who escaped
were injured
Sister Marie Emond, assistant
general of the order, said there
were 35 persons in the convent.
IL Nuns and Priest Killed
Eleven nuns, ranging in age
from q to II, were given up as
dead.
The bodies of three nuns and
the priest had been recovered
from the smouldering debris early
today. The Royal Canadian Air
Force detailed 100 men to a quest
for the others. The airmen tackled
the job of removing the rubble
largely by hand.
The Air Force disclosed that the
CF-100 had been ordered up to
identify a mysterious transport
from the arctic on which it had
not received a flight plan. The
fighters crew ascertained that the
transport was RCAF North Star
bound for Montreal.
Plane Beats Flight Plan
An Air Force spokesman said
the transports flight plan had
been filed, but it was delayed be-
cause the North Star was coming
in from the north. Communica-
tons from that area are occasion
ally difficult.
Cases have been known before
in which planes flying from the

program for Nome was reported
to the Chamber by Judge Walter
Hodge yesterday noon. He stated
that an interview with Mr. Grin
dell, special investigator, after he

Tells Why
MOrrell's
OYen.Rakino
Saves You Money

As you know from experience,
considerable cooking shrinkage can
be expected when you bake large
ham at home. However, in the case
Of Morrell Pride E-Z-Cul Ham. this
problem has been practically elm.
mated.
DR.. Charles Gross, of the Morrell
Test Laboratories. puts ii this way:
"Morrells practice Of fully-bak.
ing each ham has two.fold advan.
tsge for the consumer. First, the
heat shrink that would normally &C.
cur in the kitchen is absorbed by
Morrelfs own ovens through long,
slow baking. Secondly. no moisture
touches an E.Z.Cut Ham at any
stage Of ito processing. Therefore,
no excess moisture cooks out to
cause the ham to lose weight when
il is reheated at home"
DR.. Gross further points out that
pre.baking can result in your saving
up to 1919 Of the original price Of
the ham.

E.Z.Cut's distinctive flavor really
begins with a fancy cure which is
Morrell's own well.kept secret. This
slow. careful curing process coaxes
up all the good, natural flavor of
these selected hams helps TO
give them that heavenly, melt.in.
your.mouth tenderness.
Then the hams are smoke-oven
baked. long and deep. to seal in all
the wonderful ham goodness. Every
body who likes ham will agree that
nothing plays up" the flavor and
