Isn’t it amazing how quickly
home furnishings become soiled in
the winter time? My white glass
curtains in the living room, for in
stance, seem to absorb all the fire
place smoke — actually get grey.
Well, this week I decided to get an
early start on Spring cleaning and
washed all my curtains, blankets
and slipcovers, and when I dried
them, I almost cried — the curtains
were yellow — and so were my
beautiful white woolen blankets!
Luckily, though, a neighbor dropped
in just then and saved the day with
a package of a really wonder bluing
called “Whitex.” It’s one of the six
related products put out by the
famous Tintex dye concern. It isn’t
an ordinary bluing or bleach, and
it works on all kinds of fabrics —
even nylon, rayon, silk and wool.
You’d never believe what that little
package did for my furnishings —
restored the original whiteness in a
jiffy! And imagine, being able to
use it on wool blankets and nylon
curtains — to say nothing of my
white nylon blouses and slips.
I think you’ll be as excited as I
am about another budget-soother
made by the same house. It’s a fast
acting color remover that needs no
boiling and works on all fabrics, in
cluding the man-made fibers. If you
do tintexing as often as I, you know
that taking out the old color first
is advisable when the article is un
evenly faded or spotted. And it’s a
“must” when you want to get a
lighter shade on a dark-colored ar
ticle or when you want to re-dye
the wearable or home decoration an
entirely new or different color. Like
the wonder bluing, you can get the
color remover at all-fabric dye
counters for fifteen cents to a quar
ter a box

$10 Billion Added
To Defense Budget
WASHINGTON, (A*)—Price in
creases and program revisions
may add $10 billion to the defense
budget for the next fiscal year,
Rep. Mahon (D-Tex.) said today.
Instead of the $60 billion mili
tary budget foreseen by President
Truman in January, Mahctti said,
| the outlay needed for defense will
be closer to $70 billion.
Mahon is chairman of the House
Appropriations Subcommittee that
handles the defense budget.
But while the 1952 budget may
be $10 billion more than had been
expected, he told newsmen, Con
gress may be able to get by the
balance of this fiscal year on $3
billion less than hed been indica
ted.
The present fiscal year ends on
June 30 and indications have been
that an extra $10 billion would be
requested for military purposes
before then.

CAP News
The Air Force has provided the
CAP in the Territory with eight
L-5 aircraft for use in practice ob
servation flights and search pro
jects. In turn, the CAP’ers are
cooperating with the military in
search-and-rescue missions in ad
dition to running their own search
missions.
The Civil Air Patrol in Alaska
takes an active part in the air
maneuvers of the armed forces.
The most recent of these was Ex
ercise “Stopgap”, a joint military
civilian defense maneuver in
which simulated strafing attacks,
paradrops, and high altitude
bombing were carried out all over
the Territory. In this exercise the
Anchorage Squadron flew 22 mis
sions on patrol and ferrying
flights. The task of the Alaska
Wing during “Stopgap” was to
detect the approach of hostile air
craft, locate any activity of sabo
tage teams, find parachute units,
spot unexploded and delayed ac
tion bombs, and report the extent
of bomb damage on critical tar
gets.
At their weekly meetings, cadets
and senior members are instruc
ted in navigation, given primary
cadet training, and taught how to
solve communications problems.
Other courses pertaining to avia
tion are included in the training.
They also carry out practice
search missions and make obser
vation- flights.
The Alaska Wing of the Civil
Air Patrol participates in the an
nual exchange of air cadets with
foreign countries. In 1950, Alaska
cadets were exchanged with Can
ada, England, France and Italy.
