The hotter it gets the more
a man needs to eat.
This, in direct contradic-
ton to everything supposedly
established in the past, was
reported to the international
Congress on Nutrition here
by DR.. C. Frank Consolazio
and his associates of the nu-
triton laboratory of Fitzsim-
mons Army Hospital at Den
yer. The finding was based on
experiments in the intense
summer heat of the Arizona
desert.
Admittedly, DR.. Consolazio
said the Army nutritionistS
are lined up sharply against
the National Research Coun-
Gil and the Food and Agricul-
ture Organization of the
United Nations. The former
recommends that a 164-
pound man working moder-
ately at a temperature of 105
F. requires only 1865 nutrition
calories a day compared to
the 3341 calories he would
need at a normal tempera-
ture of SO F.
How Tests Were Made
The Army studies have in
dicated, on the contrary,
that there is actually an in
creased food requirement for
men living in extreme heat,
due primarily to the in
creased heat load imposed on
the temperature = regulating
mechanism Of the body"
In the Arizona studies,
DR.. Consolazio reported,
account was taken of the
daily water and nitrogen
balance of the body, sweat
rates, body temperature, body
weight and other changes.
The study was divided into
three Today experimental
periods. using as test subjects
eight normally healthy, vol
unteer conscientious objec-
tors.
The first phase was carried
out in the hot sun at los F.
second in hot shade 104 F
and the third in an air-con-
ditioned room at 78 F.
Through all phases the men
slept in an air-conditioned
room. They were kept on
a constant daily schedule of
physical activity. They were
allowed to eat all the food

The United States Of
America is facing as perilous
an autumn as it has ever
known. In a darkening world,
the presidential campaign is
bedeviled by the demands Of
a hysterical professional "lib-
eralism" and a racist dema-
goguery that have already all
but paralyzed our policies
abroad.
Never have presidential
candidates been under heavi-
er obligation to put aside
mere pressure group vote
catching. What is at stake
may be the survival Of this
country and Of the Western
Alliance.
Where we stand is perfect
ly clear, though to say it
aloud is to invite bitter at
tack from many quarters. So
be it.
Fodder for Reds
The long and profoundly
irresponsible auction-bidding
among both parties for "the
Negro vote" is assisting Sovi-
ct imperialist designs all
over the world. We are de-
liberately helping in many
areas to destroy the last rem
nants of power of those West
ern nations which for gen.
erations have been our al
lies. And it was with just
these nations that we once
defeated another evil totali-
tarianism. Hitler's.
The bad old colonial" Bel
gianS have been driven at last
from the Congo and a splen-
did new local democracy"
installed. At its head is a man
who is obviously and danger
ouSly incompetent and ire
Sponsible, but a man who is
allowed to defy and insult the
United Nations itself. And the
bad old colonial" Dutch have
been forced to leave Indo-
nesia. down to the last single
Dutch diplomat.
These and other similar IA
nous victories have left large
sections of the world either in
chaoS-a chaos for which the
word democracy" is a senti-
mental fraud-or ready to
fall into the Soviet sphere.
Moreover, they have broken
the Western alliance in truth
if not in formality.
For all this we pay thank a
professional : liberal passion
for a politics which assumes
not that the races are of equal
value before God and the
law-as indeed they should
and must be-but rather that
all wisdom and all virtue rests

When we drove up to his shack, Chotteau

awarded the Croix de Cuerre for heroism

Nixon Carries Ball For Civil Rights

SEATTLE, R - The prestige of the Presidency should be brought to bear to help alleviate civil rights controversies, said Vice President Nixon Friday night.
 The Vice President, arriving back on the mainland after a torrid two days of campaigning in the Hawaiian Islands, said he would take the initiative in civil rights matters if elected Presi- dent.
 q don't think it is enough simply to say that he will get Congress to pass civl rights laws and then let them lie there," he said.
 Nixon said Atty. Gen. William P Rogers has been meeting with executives of chain stores whose outlets in the South have been the scene of sit-in demonstrations by Negroes.
 This, he said, was an attempt to take the initiative in such matters - to solve the problem before it goes through years of legal process.
 Nixon said that not only would he, as President, take the mi tiative in civil rights matters. but q would urge my cabinet to take the initiative in cases of this type to develop solutions.'
 His press conference climaxed hectic 212-hour stopover in Seattle that originally was sched- uled to last only an hour and half. A crowd estimated at 7,500 took part in welcoming cere- monies at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

Among the native berries now ripening in the northland are blueberries, cranherries, crow berries, bearberries, and bunch berries.
 The loWbush cranberry is also known as the lingenberry.
 The bearberries kinnikinnick) resembles the cranberry but the fruit is mealy and tasteless.
 The bunchberry (dWarf dog wood) is bright red berry which grows in punches, pithy and taste less, and best combined with tart berries. New EnglanderS called it puddingberry and use it in pud- dings or dumplings.
 The croWberry is black berry that grows on trailing, fern-like vines. Use like the blueberry, it is nice in pie. For jelly use com mercial pectin recipe. It can be combined with the blueberry or lingenberry for jelly.
 Here are several recipes using these berries:
 Raw Blueberry Jam
 Crush berries thoroughly. To each cup of pulp add IA cups of sugar. Mix well and seal. Nice for ice cream topping or in jello.
 BlueberrY Jello Pie
 Prepare one package of cherry jello. Add 3 whole cloves while it is hot. Just before it hardens, remove the cloves and fold in cup fresh or frozen blueberries. Pour in baked pie shell.

Twelve Hours of Free Choice

WYE THE PEOPLE OF ALASKA, who clamored for w statehood and had the courage to keep trying until full citizenship achieved, needed at the polls tomorrow.
 Every eligible voter should turn out at the pri- mary election and make thoughtful and careful choice of the candidates who will be in the General Election to state and federal offices in November
 One of the reasons worked for statehood was that would have the right to send elected ators and representatives to Washington, DC.
 Issues vital; there is need for men and women of the right caber to in the legislative halls The population of northern Alaska is small and most people know the candidates personally there is no excuse for not eectng good substantial citizens to represent us.
 Voting is serious matter and obligation that should not be taken lightly. Maybe if those who do not vote deprived of the privilege they would realize the importance of voting.
 government is no better than the men and women whom the people select to represent them.
 If you are 19 years of age have been in Alaska for one year and in the precinct for 30 days and citizen, you are eligible to vote.
 The polls are open from 8 a. until p. m Remember that you vote only on one side of the ballot If you make choice either side of the ballot all your other choices must be on the same side

Japan Pleads Atom Ban on Hiroshima Blast Anniversary

TOKYO, LR = Japan Saturday observed the 18th anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima with pleas for banning nuclear weapons.
 Crown Prince Akihito attended and delivered message at government approved memorial service in Hiroshima. Some 30,000 persons attended the rally in Peace Park.
 In Tokyo, the Communications mated World Conference Against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs opened four-day conference de- nouncing the United States and its allies as the force of war"
 Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda sent message to the Hiroshima rally expressing regret that de- spite Japan's repeated appeals there still was no halt in the manufacture, stockpiling and testing of nuclear weapons.
 In Hiroshima the memorial ceremonies were held in Peace Park where a roofless gutted building stands exactly as it was after the explosion as a symbol of the Hiroshima tragedy.
 Hiroshima city fathers were re- ported considering tearing it down on request from survivors of the blast who complained that the building reminded them of the horror of Aug. 6, 1945.

undersides of every leaf. This
is hardly possible because of
the twiggy nature Of the
azalea growth.
Power sprayers probably
could do the job, but the
average hand sprayer does
not have the pressure to ac-
compliSh such a complete job.
For this reason it is desirable
to apply this combination two
or three times at weekly in
tervals in order to get as
complete a kill of these suck
ing insects as possible. Apply
in the spring and later sum-
mer.
Even mulched azaleas will
need watering during a
drought period, in fact they
will need water much more
than will the lawn grasses.

similar material, may be
added to the fertilizer or
put on alone, as the case
may be, to supply the iron
until the soil supply becomes
available. This will only
need to be done when the.
leaves are yellow-gre (chlo-
rotic) with the veins showing
more or less normal green.
Quite frequently an azalea
bush will produce a long
branch which takes away
from the usual mounded out
line and it may need to be
removed. This is best done
when the bushes are in bloom
but can be done Immediately
following the Towering pc
riod. If pruning is delayed
until the early part of July
next years bloom buds will
be forming and branch re-
moval means losing buds.
Early pruning shortly after
Towering is the desirable
practice, where needed.
Like Leafy Blanket
Azaleas are shallow-rooted
plants that are indigenous
to forested areas. This means
they thrive under a blanket
of leaves. We should pro-
vide some kind of mulch,
preferably one that increases
the soil acidity but will not
crust under our climatic con-
ditionS. Peat moss mixed
with some coarser material
will probably supply this
need. Pine needles and many
other kinds of materials will
serve the purpose.
The last point, which is one
most people prefer tc forget,
is the control Of insects that
suck the sap from the aSaleas
red spider mites. azalea
laceflieS and scale insects.
Few gardens are free from
these pests unless they have
a regular control program.
Much of the winter injury
suffered by the azaleas is not
because of the cold but Is

due to the weakened condi-
ton Of the plants.
Several Applications
Insect injury must be
prevented if the aZaleaS are
to thrive and produce as We
wish them to. Control If all
of the insect pests may be
had through the use of
malathion, but malathion
kills only the adults so that
it takes several applications
at three to seven day inter-
walls to complete the kill.
BY using a combination of
malathion for the adults and
tedion for the eggs and
nymphS, a single application
should do the job, assuming
that we are through enough
in our spraying to coat the

Most gardeners look for
ward to the spring Towering
period Of their azaleas be-
cause few plants produce the
dependable display each sea-
son that we can have in this
area. However, it is i'm
portant that once the flower
ing season is past we provide
protection or the spring
flower display may begin to
dwindle, possibly, come to an
end. Good vigorous growth
makes the bushes effective
and attractive throughout
the season as a part of the
landscape paintings.
y. AzaleaS are not demanding
as to culture provided the
soil is acid enough for them
to obtain the iron which is
locked UP and unavailable
in soils that are only slightly
acid. w h e NJ ever, the soil
acidity because of lime from
the foundation or other
sources reaches the point
where the iron is unavailable
to the azalea the acidity is
easily increased through the
addition Of any inexpensive
grade of sulphur. Two and a
! half pounds per 100 square
feet of area will increase the
acidity one unit PHI. In case
Of doubt have the soil tested.
! 1t should be rated at SIS PHI
or lower for best results.
Not Heavy Feeders
Azaleas do not need heavy
feeding. A good rich compost
mulch will supply all of the
plant food needed. However.
many gardeners, including
the writer, buy the acid
forming fertilizers to help
keep the soil acid and pro-
vide some plant food for
them. A small handful per
moderate sized bush is not
heavy feeding but should
keep the leaves in good color.
