BudWOrm InvadeS Southeast Alaska

JUNEAU lR - The US. Forest Service says insect surveys show that the black-headed budWorm is present in heavy numbers in certain areas of southeast Alaska The worm has affected hemlock trees in the Juneau, Taku, Port Snettisham, Bradfield Canal and Portland Canal areas of the main land as well as Chichagof and Ad- miralty Islands, the northern part of Baranof Island and several thousand acres of Prince of Wales Island
 David Crosby, entomologist said, 'the present picture naturally gives us concern over what may lie ahead. If a normal supply of bud worms are produced this season and each lay their average of 100 eggs, then we could be in trouble next spring"
 Crosby recommended that in- dividuals who have trees affected should not attempt to take any control measures this year. He ex- plained "the damage has already been done to a large extent, and there is no practical control that can be used in late summer or fall"

Buried Treasure |.

TROY, Ohio LR - Buried treas ure continued to pour from the grounds of an old mill Thursday with perhaps as much as a half million dollars uncovered by dig gers.
 The site is the Altman Mills Feed Plant four miles north of this southwestern Ohio city of about 14,000.
 Workmen earlier in the week uncovered two 10-gallon milk cans stuffed with an estimated S360,000.
 Early Thursday third five gallon can was uncovered. It was stuffed with money.
 Search for a fourth and perhaps other cans is underway.
 R. s. Altman, late owner of the mills, often had told relatives he did not trust banks.
 A few hours before his death July 29, at the age of 76, Altman told a son and daughter he had buried all of his money beneath the mill.
 Nearly a dozen Workmen, all mill employees, began digging early Tuesday. They were guarded by sheriff's deputies, and they dug nearly eight hours before their shovels struck metal.
 The money was undamaged in the unsealed cans - tied up in bundles of two or three inches in thickness, and in all denomina- tions. Each bundle was wrapped in sheets of the Dayton Daily News dated Oct. 1O-15, 1945.

 He saw bear drinking from the river.
 The bear crossed the river and ran along the bank after Bdlake.
 Bidlake turned the canoe around and started paddling away, but he came across a log blocking his path and had to stop.
 He beached the canoe and ran to a tree. He was about 10 feet up when the bear started climbing after him.
 Il tried to Shoo him down." said Bidlake. "The tree was small and I kept slipping.
 q kicked his nose trying to get him down and he bit me on the right foot"
 Bidlake managed to pull away and kicked the bear again. It tumbled to the ground. He threw his knapsack at the bear. It grab bed the sack and ambled off. Bid lake ran to larger tree.
 The bear ate Bidlake's lunch and came after him a second time.
 After several unsuccessful at tempts to climb the tree, the bear ripped apart the canoe Then it re- turned to the tree.
 When he was coming up he would snap off the limbs with his teeth" Bidlake said.
 The young man was bitten again on his other foot.
 Hours later a co-Worker, John Trent, came by and the bear left.

VOLCANO ERUPTS

HILO, Hawaii R-After staging what could be called false alarm, Kilauea volcano erupted with a fiery display of glowing lava late Wednesday.
 Fountains of lava speWed 40 to 50 feet high from the deep Alae crater on Kilauea - one of the worlds more restless volcanoes - after a dismal beginning earlier. Lava started flowing onto the crater floor. The eruption posed no danger to nearby communities.
 The volcano is on Hawaii Island 200 miles southeast of Honolulu.

Several people have lost their

river. Park Rangers don't approve
and have discouraged such
attempts as much as possible. AS
for George she graduated to boats
and became the only Woman River

George, returned to the river from
her California home inthe summer
of 1855. 1t was this year she
attracted nationwide attention by
taking the first share the expense
plan tour down the river, which was
a group of thirty people, the largest
ever to make the trip by boat
through the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado up to that time.
BY this time the trip had been
made fairly safe even for non
swimmers. After experimenting
with boats and motors George
created a motorized raft by lash
ing several purchased ten-man
rubber life RATS together and out
fitting them with johnson motors.
This eliminated all portaging which
involved plain old hard work for
for all participant now everyone
rode all the way except those who
wished to take pictures or hunt
Semi-precious stones along the
river banks and in various side
canyons.
George still uses this same
mode of travel on all river runs

Queen Of the Colorado River
By Betty Taylor

While hiking through Navajo
country, a tall muscular woman
! Wsth piercing blue eyes, a win
fnng smile and whose hair appears
to have been combed by the
Rlzona wind, gazed into the
Grand Canyon and the ever churn-
ing waters of the might Colorado
River, ''Thats for me-" she con-
cluded.
Since that day Chicago born and
raised, George White has explored
virtually every inch of the shores
along the Colorado river. Every
rapid or whirlpool that exists in
the Colorado river have become
Georges friend or foe.
George actually embarked on
her first venture down the river
81 no return with famous Utah
explorer Harry Aleson accom-
pa.1ying her, the summer of 1945.
George says OF that trip, 81
had never read the history of the
Colorado river and to me it was
just another river and more
water. had no knowledge of the
rapids, sheer canyon walls and
treaCherouS waters which awaited
US. The more we talked, the better
| liked the idea. The area then of
course had been explored much
less than it has today. At this
time Glen Canyon dam was still
in the planning stage on the artists
drawing board"
Equipment for Georges first
trip down the Colorado consisted
of life preserver. a malt can
which contained her food rations
for the trip and bathing suit,
which She was wearing.
= George and Harry departed on
their trip which turned out to be a
swim down the Colorado, during
the high water of June. River flow
at the time was around $1,000
cubic feet per second.
After swimming, tumbling over
and through numerous whirlpools
and rapids for go miles down the
lower Grand Canyon, they arrived
ct Lake Mead several days later
bruised, water logged and popped
declaring. "Nevermore."
But as we all know. those of
us who declare nevermore seemto
have a way Of changing our minds,
especially after time passes and
memories begin to dim.
A few weeks later after thinking
over her experience Georges S ad-
ventour GUS mind made her decide
the SO mile swim hadn't been so
bad after all. In short the next
summer found her headed back to
the Colorado river to try her luck
once more. This time the swim
would be 125 miles down Grand
Canyon and again would be made
at high water time of the year.
At the end of this trip she was
met at Boulder City, Nevada by
several newspaper reporters. Here
she also learned she had been the

through the Grand Cany on. George
says, doctors and lawyers are her
favorite passengers because they
tend to completely leave their work
and cares behind onthe river bank.
let their hair down SO to speak
and really enjoy the trip which
lies ahead.
George had never underesti :
mated the power of the turbulent
Colorado river. Her plans for the
safety of all groups taken on the
river trips are many including.
life jackets. nylon life lines on
boats. luggage and food tied in,
extra propellers and oars. even
an extra motor or two make each
trip in case the need for them
should arise.
Boat trips through the Grand
Canyon originated at Lees Ferry,
referred to as Tsinnaaee dashsi
ami. by the Navajo meaning "Where
the boat sits." These trips ter
minated at Lake Mead usually
about days later.
Reverend Shine Smith accom-
panied by a Navajo Medicine Man
who gave the River Rats his bless
ing and tossed sacred corn meal
on the water. we're usually on hand
to wave goodbye to George and
her gang.
Mileage, incidently both up and
down the Colorado river from Lees
Ferry is dete minded by point
Just over half a mile downstream
from the ferry.
Phantom Ranch. a beautiful
little guest ranch nestled at the
bottom of Bright Angle Trail is
the only place where any of Geor-
gies River Rats could either end
or start their trip down the river.
Here also she received groceries
by prearrangement and her pas
Sengers could communicate with
the world outside the canyon by
letter or telegraph before con-
tinuing their perlious journey.
After leaving the ranch George
and her gang of River Rats ap-
preached the most dreaded rapid
in the Colorado river. 1t is called
Bedrock Rapid by everyone but
boatmen. to them this magnificent
clear black volcanic formation is
known as "Bowels of the Earth"

tower above the waterline at this
point. The river divides, part of
it surging down one side of the
rocks and part on the other--
boatman could never be sure which
side was best.
Ii was here George took the
wrong lane on one of her trips
and ended up in a whirlpool with
her big rubber RATS. She had to
rearrange her passengers and gear
before she could eventually float
clear.

Growing Up

Looking over the New York Times
the other day, we could scarcely believe
our eyes.
There, on Page One, was this story
about a city which is still bitterly argu-
ing over whether to inaugurate the
same kind of water fluoridation pro-
gram that most American cities have
had for years to ward off tooth decay
in children. And where was this con-
troversy? In Vientiane? In Castro'S
Havana? In Leopoldville? In Phnom
PENN, Cambodia?
Nope. In New York City, that's
where, the home Of Robert Moses and
the backyard of Nelson A. Rockefeller.
How in the world is the Governor
ever going to explain such notifying
reactionism at home?
Our heart goes out to Mayor
Wagner, who emerged from a 20
hour public hearing on Tuesday dazed,
bruised, but still solidly in the corner
of fluoridation. Good for him! We
recall the same wild protests in our
own city chambers before Washington
took its sane step toward fluoridation.
That, of course, was more than 10 years
ago.
But better late than never. Along
with consolation to Mr.. Wagner, we wish
New York only the best of luck in
its effort to become an up to date
metropolis.

Behind FideI

If past performance is any criterion,
the Organization of American States is
likely to do little more than hem and
haw over Venezuelan President Betan-
courts call for "definitive action"
against the hemisphere menace of
Communist Cuba. Yet that menace,
which is big enough already, will surely
grow unless the GAS unites against it
as firmly and as actively as Mr.. Betan-
court urges.
= AS far as Venezuela itself is con-
cerned, 1t has for weeks past been sub
jected to the crueleSt kind of terrorism.
This british campaign, aimed at spread
ing chaos and diSrupting tomorrow'S
presidential election, is being carried
out by Communicated Castroite guer-
rilla organization called the Armed
Forces of National Liberation (FALN).
There can be no doubt about the organi-
zation'S link to Fidel Castros puppet

Red tyranny in Havana. The latest
proof of that has been the discovery of
a big cache of arms buried in the sand
of a beach some $50 miles north of
Caracas. The arms have been traced
directly and unquestionably to Cuba.
It is for these reasons, among
others, that President Betancourt-once
an ardent supporter Of the Castro
revolution" has ordered Venezuela's
Ambassador to Washington to place be-
fore the GAS formal charge accusing
Communist Cuba Of aggression. 1t is
for these reasons, too, that the United
States, speaking through the State De-
partment, has promptly supported Mr.
Betancourt'S position and made clear
its readiness to join in cooperative
inter-American measures - including
presumably armed sea and air patrols
to contain the threat, If not smash 1t
altogether.
The most Somber aspect Of all this,
of course, is that Soviet inspiration,
guidance and concrete help are the only
things that make it possible. The Krem-
lin, in sum, is primarily responsible for
what has been happening in Venezuela
and for what threatens the other
Americas.
