Miami Fairbanks Sky
 Highway Opens July 4th

OTTAWA, LR - Canada agreed today to open up more than 1,500 miles of it's air space in a pro- ject to link Miami, Fla. to Fair banks, by air.
 The Transl .rt Depe an- nounced the stretch of airway g., stem betw cen Lethbridge, Alta, and Snag, YGl.or Territory, will be used in the 4,9O0-mile highway in the sky. It will be known as the "49'er Skyway" in honor of Alas ka's recent admission to the union.
 The project, sponsored by the U. s. Federal Aviation Agency ensures a series of aircraft "serv- ice stations averaging 275 miles apart over the rugged terrain. Ra- dio navigation and weather re- portirg facilities will make it the safest air route to Alaska.
 The new route will be inaug- urated in connection with Alaskas S formal entry as the 49th state. The planes will arrive in Fairbanks Jluy 4th, the date of the state hood ceremonies.
 More than 100 planes will take part in the first flight. Ceremonies have been planned for them to observe the 50th anniversary of powered flight in Canada.
 The new skyway is twice as long as any now in use.

(By The Associated PressD

Major salmon packers, already staggered by ban on fish traps in Southeastern Alaska, planned to meet in Seattle Tuesday to consider their latest blow, the clo- sure of Bristol Bay.
 Nick Bez, prominent in Alaskan fisheries, summed up the mood:
 "In our fishing industry, it looks like between the Japanese and Secretary Seaton and his traps, we're all going to hell. All we're doing is hatch fish for the Japs."
 Losses that would result from the closure were difficult to reckon. w. C. Arnold, managing director of the Alaska Salmon h. dustry, Inc, estimated value of the plants in the Bristol Bay area at more than 20 million dollars. He said during peak times the area employed 5000 fishermen and other employees - 1,500 from the Yukon-Kuskokwim region and 2,50O from outside"
 The travel industry also would be hard hit by the Interior De- partment decisions. The Bristol Bay area was reported to draw nearly a million dollars of air

Salmon Packers Resent Bans On Traps, Bay Fishing, to Hatch Fish for Japanese'

travel each year. And the Alaska Steamship Co., was believed to be considering revision of it's service to the area.
 Sen. Bob Bartlett, chairman of a Senate subcommittee, has set April 1-2 for hearings in Juneau pertaining to the salmon industry.
 The hearings will be concerned with a bill now before Congress which would ban importation of all salmon caught in the North Pacific in any manner that vio- lates U. s. fishing regulations.
 The bill is designed to curtail Japanese fishing efforts in the North Pacific - efforts which American authorities say have seriously depleted Alaskan sal mon stocks ts 51
 Meanwhile, in Juneau, Sena- tors Jack Weise of Bethel, and John Coghill of Nenana, have asked the Bristol Bay area to be declared al national disaster area. The two Republicans have spon- sored resolution urging the Gov ernor and the President to make the designation and to start relief and public works projects imme- diately to aid the 5000 residents of the region.

Idaho 'DemOcratics' Fail In Official Spelling

BOISE, Idaho, R - A legiSla- tive spelling lesson failed to win a passing grade Tuesday from Idaho's Republican Governor Rob- ert E. Smylie.
 He vetoed bill passed by Dem ocratic majorities in both houses of the now-adjourned Legislature. It read:
 ''The correct name of the Demo- cratic Party when not abbreviated is as spelled in this sentence. The spelling Democrat. is correct only when used to designate or refer to an individual member of the Democratic Party
 Smylie said people should have the. right to call a party by any name they prefer. Besides, he added, the bill might abridge the right of free speech.

All Girls Plan
Style Show
Friday Evening

For the second year, the Bluff
ton Buttons & Bows All club
will hold a style show Friday
evening at 8 o'clock in the high
school gymnasium.
The girls, 35 in number ranging
in age from 10 to 16 years, will
model items of clothing which
they have made during their en-
rollment. The first year girls
start out by making something
as simple as a tea towel or
apron. Then they work up to a
sun dress in the third year, and
go on from there to make school,
sport, lounging and dress-up and
tailored clothing.
The girls start their cooking in
the second year of club work
and go from simple lunches to
complete meals, canning, freez-
ing, jelly-making, picking and
bread baking.
Carol Schmidt is club presi-
dent; Jean Purves, secretary;
Anita Huber, Pauline Motter
and Melanie Benroth are junior
leaders. Mrs. Nina Rupright and
Mrs. Margie Huber are the
leaders, assisted by Mrs. Ruth

Half Million New Jobs Created
In Ohio Each Decade, Study Shows

At Ohio's present rate of
growth nearly half million new
jobs are created every decade.
Besides jobs for 100000 more
manufacturing workers, some
100000 employees are added
every ten years in the service
industries.
These and other data tracing
Ohio's growth were released to-
day by the Ohio Electric Utility
Institute, following a study of
the contributions of Ohio's eight
Independent electric light and
power companies to the states
industria growth
AS location for industry, the
study noted, Ohio possesses a
unique combination of advan-
tages, not the least of which is
abundant electric power at rea-
sonable rates. Many interested
organizations, including the elec-
tric utilities themselves, conduct
continuing campaigns to make
these advantages known to ex-
panding businesses across the
nation. A large proportion of the
new jobs created here since
World War II can be attributed
to this nationwide promotion.
In a typical 1C-year period,
1947-l956, the manufacturing
work force grew 15.5 per cent. In
1947, there were 1,194, 1853 manu-
featuring workers. By 1856, the
number had grown to 1873, 1893.
In the same 1O-year span, the
latest for which official figures
are available, other important
changes affecting the states
occurred.
In value added by manufac-
ture, a key business statistic
used to show that extent of a
states industrial strength, Ohio
ranked second only to New York.
In the 10-year period, Ohio
climbed from fourth, edging
