THE DAY’S HEADLINER
MOTHER S DAY SUNDAY, MAY 13
Since the year 1907 the people of the United
States have been observing the second Sunday in May
as Mother’s Day with appropriate s ervices in the
churches of the land.
In 1914 Congress designated the day which is
widely observed in other countries as well as our own.
It differs from the earlier celebrations of ancient
peoples whose festivities did not carry the same sense
of appreciation for individual mothers.
Words of man are incapable of expressing proper
appreciation of the unselfish and devoted life of good
mothers and it is given to most children to revere and
appreciate their own mother as the noblest expression
of this intimate human relationship.
Nome is observing the day with a special celebra
tion, in honor of Mrs. Michael J. Walsh who has been
selected as the Alaska Mother of 1951, to which all the
people of Nome and military personnel have been in
vited. In honoring Mrs. Walsh we honor our own
mothers, wherever they may be.

Fresh Milk Is Canned In
New Cow-To-Can Process
EAST STAMWOOD, Wash., {IP)
—Milk is being canned here as it
comes from the cow.
The new product, freed of bac
teria and the qualities that nor
mally make milk sour, is being
sent to Alaska, Japan and the
armed forces.
There’s no “condensing” or “ev
aporating,” as in the traditional
manner of putting concentrated
milk into cans. This, the develop
ers explained, is strictly a cow
to-can process.
The purpose is to produce a
product that tastes like the milk
th*v comes to your back door in
bottles—but which can be ship
ped long distances, was invented
by Dr. Roy R. Graves, 64-year-old
research scientist from Valparaiso,
Ind. He reported at an “open
bouse” that 2,000 gallons of milk
have been. canned daily since
March 30 at the Med-O-Milk
Dairy here. It is put up in three
quart cans.

Soviet Russia Agrees
To Supply India With
50,000 8ons of Wheat
NEW DELHI, India, (JP) —
Fa mine- threatened India announ
ced Thursday that Soviet Russia
had agreed to sell her for cash,
50,000 tons of wheait—and that
Russian ships are already on the
I way here with some of it.
A government announcement
said the agreement to buy the
50,000 tons was the “first result”
of negotiations with the Soviet
embassy here, begun last week,
on a Russian offer to supply 500,
000 tons.
Prime Minister Nehru told Par
liament that the bills before the
U.S. Congress to send wheat to
India “in our view, have no politi
cal or discriminatory conditions
attached to them.”
His statement appeared directed
to conciliating the American Con
gress. Indian differences with Am
erican policies, especially in Ko
rea, have contributed to d delay
in final congressional action on
a grant or loan of 2,000,000 tons
of wheat, which India asked for
in December.
TOKYO, (/P)—Lt. Gen. Matthew
B. Ridgway said Thursday the
United Nations battle in Korea
may have started the defeat of
Communism’s efforts at world
domination.
The U. N. Command command
er’s comment was contained in an
answer to Lt. Gen. James A. Van
Fleet, Allied field commander,
congratulating Ridgway on his
nomination to full general.
i
Ridgway said it is “quite pos
sible” that because of the U.N.
fight, “history will record that
the crest of the Communist wave
has been broken against your
aims and . . . that the flood of
this menace, reaching its high
mark on your front, thereafter
began its recession.”
