Legion Convention
Adopts Resolutions
ANCHORAGE, (A*) — Alaska’s
American Legion convention
adopted 16 resolutions yesterday,
including an appeal for federal
construction of 5,000 permanent
rental housing units for veterans
in the Territory.
“The safety and security of the
whole United States depends to a
large extent on speedy permanent
settlement of Alaska, now delayed
and defeated by a lack of decent,
healthy housing,’’ said the resolu
tion.
* It recommended that houses be
sold to resident veterans or veter
ans’ cooperatives if they wish to
buy.
Another resolution appealed for
immediate Congressional provi
sion of Alaska fire control funds,
as new and old fires threatened
anew in the Anchorage vicinity.

“Ike” To Speak
At Vicksburg
(By The Associated Press)
With sunny weather forecast
for most of the nation, millions of J
Americans home and abroad will
c e 1 e brate Independence Day
with the traditional fireworks
displays, parades, beauty pageants
and epeechmaking.
I Festivities in Vicksburg, Miss.,
will mark that city’s third observ
ance of the Fourth of July as In-!
dependence Day.
Until two years ago when the
city first celebrated the date as
Independence Day, Vicksburg had
remanied in mourning on the
Fourth—the anniversary of that
Southern city’s surrender to Gen
eral U. S. Grant in 1863.
This year general of the army
Dwight D. Eisenhower will be the
honored guest at Vicksburg’s
Fourth of July carnival of Con
federacy, and will lead the par
ade in the city’s observance.
! Fireworks, parades and beauty
j contests are expected to attract
1 millions of persons in Fourth of
July programs throughout the na
tion.
j. At Flagstaff, Ariz., thousands of
Indians from reservations in the
southwest will gather for a three
day series of parades, rodeos, tri
bal dances and squaw and papoose
beauty contests.
i MISSOULA, Mont. (JP)—A Ca
nadian motorist returned, the en
gine of his car sputtering, and
complained about the gasoline
sold him at a filling station earlier.
Investigating, the attendant
found hoses had been switched
and a 400-gallon underground gas
oline storage tank had been filled
with water.

Wilma Stephanson, Troop Scribe
The third group of Girl Scouts
went camping at Dexter for the
week-end.
Saturday night we hiked three
and a half miles to Cameron’s and
Lyle’s camp.
We tried wading in the river,
but most of thought it was too
cold, a few got really wet though,
and had to dry out in front of the
fireplace.
We popped corn and toasted
marshmallows until midnight.
Some of the girls didn’t go to sleep
till after 1:00 a.m., and we got
up at 6:00 a.m;
After breakfast we played
games and hiked to the end of the
road which was six miles. We got
all eaten up by mosquitoes.
Those who went were Olga,
Mary Louise,* Wilma, Margie,
Julia and Kay, who was our guest.
Three G.I. Joes, slightly deaf
were riding in a jeep. One re
marked to the other, “Ain’t it
windy?”
“No” he replied, “it is Thurs
day.”
“So am I,” said the third, “let’s
have a drink.”
