JACKIE TAXES 4 RIDE ATOp ELEPHANT

JAIPUR, India lR Americas First Lady took a ride today on 2 gentle, aged lady elephant paint ed and decorated and wearing false wooden tusks to impress the public.
 The numbering, rocking ride aboard the eight-foot tall elephant was obviously enjoyed by Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy, who shared the high gold seat with her sister, Princess Lee Radziwell.
 They took a slow-paced trip of about 20 minutes around an ancient courtyard, with seven elephants in gold and red trappings and silver arrnor following.
 When it was over Mrs. Kennedy patted 35-year-old Bibia on the trunk and told her "Goodby and thank you"
 The trained elephant which almost daily takes tourists on a long, cobblestoned, steep path to view the ancient fort in the hilltop city of Amber raised it's trunk and right leg in salute.
 Mrs. Kennedy was intrigued by colored chalk decorations on the grey elephant. She asked if Bibia's makeup could be taken off. She learned it could.
 The elephant handlers made things easy for Mrs. Kennedy to get into the 15-foot high howda, by building special platform on rooftop. But she seemed to worry bit anyway, holding onto the skirt of her yellow silk dress to keep it from billowing.

Some Facts About The Sitka Spruce, Official State Tree
By Mrs. Haggland President of Alaska State Federation Garden Clubs

On Feb. 28, Gov. Wm. Egan signed into law HB325, designat- ing the Sitka Spruce fpicea sit
 chansia) as Alaska's official state tree.
 In designating state tree, Alaska
 becomes the 45th state to officially
 adopt a state tree. Records do not
 indicate state tree for Iowa or
 Hawaii. Houisiana, while having
 no official state tree adopted Mag
 nolia grandiflora as their state
 flower North Carolina and vir-
 ginia have not officially designated
 state trees but have Cornus arandi-
 flora, towering dogwood, as their
 state flower.1 No other state had
 previously designated Sitka Spruce
 as their state tree, but Colorado
 South Dakota and Utah have other
 species of spruce as their offieia1
 tree.
 Sitka Spruce is the largest Of all
 the spruces in North America and
 one of the most valuable tree
 species in Alaska. Its range is in the
 coastal forests of southeast Alaska,
 west to Prince William Sound to
 the south shore of Kachemak Bay in Cook Inlet, and Kodiak Island
 This species extends south of Alas
 ka along the Pacific Coast to north
 ern California. Sitka Spruce trees
 were planted in the early l800's by
 the Russians at Unalaska, near the
 eastern end of the treeless Aleu- tian Islands.
 Although Sitka Spruce occasion ally forms pure stands, it generally grows in mixture with other species In Alaska it's principal associate is western henlock. Young Sitka Spruce trees, when open-grown
 have pyramidal form. Forest green trees are tall and straight with open conical crowns. Those approaching maturity typically have ] long cylindrical trunks which are often free of branches for from 30 to 70 feet of the stem. Trees 400 to 500 years may measure 4 to 6 feet in diameter and approach 200 feet in height. The Sitka Spruce forms approximately 20 per cent of the coastal forests of Alaska with it's total volume estimated at 634 billion board feet.
 The wood of the Sitka Spruce is straight-grained, moderately light in weight, easily worked and very strong for its weight possessing greater strength and toughness than any wood of similar weight. Its principal uses are for lumber pulp,
 but is also valuable for plywood. The lumber is used in construction and the manufacture of many pro- ducts including such speciality items as piano sounding boards. Because of the unusual strength for it's weight, Sitka Spruce has been the most important wood for airplane construction.
 Sltka Spruce was a logical candi- date for designation as Alaska's of ficial state tree. Both the common and scientific names honor the Alaska town of Sitka where the species was discovered in 1927 by the German naturalist Dr. Karl
 Heinrich Mertens. It is the largest
 as well as one of the most valuable tree species in the state.
 l HB325 was introduced in the
 House by Rep. Fer. Sweeny Uu- neau) and Grace Johnson Mome) with the Alaska Federation of Gar
 den Clubs also an active sponsor of this legislation.

Cleaning Agents
Moy Cause Death

You're asking for trouble when

University OF Delaware home man
agement specialist.
According to the National Safety
Council, one homemaker wasn't
satisfied with the results derived
from using a well-known cleaner
in the toilet bowl. In an attempt
to clean the bowl better, she added
household bleach to the cleaner
and stirred the mixture. The acid
content of the cleaners liberated
chlorine gas, which is a deadly
poison, when the bleaching COM
pound was added. Death occurred
in a matter of minutes.
Household bleaches VIII C h
have variety of trade names -
are solutions of sodium hypochlo-
rite. Acid substances = even vine
gar - added to such bleaches will
create and release poisonous chic
rine gas.
Use these precautions, urg e S
Miss Morris:
Never combine cleaners and
bleaches.
Store them safely in separate
places.
Keep them away from food and
medical supplies.
Never leave them where chill
dren might have access to them.

America today faces an inescap-
able challenge to behave like

tThe astounding relevancy of Jes-

our times presents us the on ly
alternative to hydrogen war. Too
many voices in our official lif e
