Two Nebraskans Will Try Grazing
 Cattle in Area Near Mt. Mckinley

FAIRBANKS R,-A pair of Ne braskans are planning to haul a nerd of South Dakota cattle 3.OOO miles to grazing lands in region where winter cold reaches 40 be- low zero.
 It will be rare test of beef in an ''icebox" while still on the hoof.
 Alaska Railroad officials re- ported yesterday the project is planned by Berle Mercer, 29, and Dan McMurtrey, 25, his brother in-law, both formerly of Thed- ford, Nebraska.
 The cattle-oO or 90 head-will be the rugged and shaggy Scotch highland breed. Most, if not all, of the cattle will come from ranch at Belvidere, SD.
 The men have grazing rights on 290,000 acres north of Mt. Me Kinley, the continents highest peak.
 An Alaska Railroad agent here said the two men plan to start the : cattle northward by truck on the Alaska Highway around May 2O It is about a four-day trip. Then they will be shipped by rail 107 miles to the grazing lands. ! Native grasses grow in lush abundance during the summer when daylight extends for 20 hours or more in this Hand of the midnight sun" Winds usually keep the forage swept free of | heavy snow in winter
 The Scotch highland breed is reported to have a strong herd instinct, which is good protection against wolves. The farmers are not worried about bears because the bruins basically are vegetar- ians and reputedly prefer berries to Scottish T-bones.
 There is a good demand for beef in Alaska and this weeks supermarket ads quote beef pot roasts at 59 to 69 cents a pond.

Dame Edith Reads
Poetry Before 500,
Tells of Sinner

Still bearing the marks Of q
recent mishap in New York's
skid row. England's grande dame
of literature, Edith Sitwell
transfixed an audience in the
Corcoran Gallery of Art last
night with an amiable reading
of her poems.
/ The pale 70-year-old lioness
was magnificent in a gold, green
and red brocaded gown, a heavy
gold chain hanging from her
neck, great blocks of precious
stones on her scarlet-pointed
fingers and solid gold breast
plates at her bosom.
The beautiful sinner on her
left eye seemed almost oppro-
pirate.
I'm sorry to appear in this
strange guise before you," she
said, referring to the sinner, but
in my last appearance in skid
lrow-to which I am addicted
was in a brawl, the only battle
i ever lost"
The 900 persons in the audi
Ience waited for more. Dame
Edith did not elaborate, but went
on to read 1.-the poems.
When she rose to go, the audi
Ience held her with a long round
of applause. Her face was shin
ing and the big sinner was
hardly visible at all.

TRAGEDIES ON HIGHWAYS
"Are Your Feet Killing You?"
Question For Pedestrians

"Are Your Feet Killing Your
Question For Pedestrians
"Are your feet KILLING you
This question might be put t.
pedestrians in Delaware in the
most literal sense" said Mrs.Wil.
liam N. Cam, vice president fol-
home safety for the Delaware
Safety Council.
Pedestrian deaths in the ma.
ton have averaged better thar
5000 annually over the past sew.
eral years." Mrs. Cam pointed
out. more than half of city
traffic deaths are pedestrians. In
Delaware 19 pedestrians were
killed last year on Delaware
streets and highways, and this
was worse than the 1855 total
of Is.
Most of these tragedies could
have been avoided if the victim
had needed traffic signs, signals
and markings, which are really
signs of life," she declared.
Pedestrians expect drivers to
look out for them, while they
ignore traffic lights, signs and
other devices controlling traffic
movement" They must wake up
to their responsibilities if they
wish to become older pedestrians.
Mrs. Cam cited some of the
worst pedestrian practices =
crossing between intersections
crossing against the signal at in
tersections, crossing intersections
diagonally where there is no spec
ial provision for it.. She caution
ed older persons not to enter an
intersection unless they have
enough time to cross safely. She
also urged all pedetrians to look
both ways before crossing and to
be sure they can be seen by driv-
ers at night.
knowledge and observance OF
the signs of life by both pedes-
trians and drivers will cut down
our accident toll tremendously y
she said.
Pedestrians are as much q
part of todays traffic as motor
lists and it is to their benefit to
learn the basic traffic signs. II
pedestrians know what the sign
means they will better understand
what drivers are expected to do
'But pedestrians cannot depend
entirely upon the drivers. They
must be prepared for any emeg-
ency! The fact that pedestrian
had the right of way will be OF
small solace if he winds up in the
hospital" Mrs. Cam concluded.
