wet and muddy and are closed to
all traffic until further notice.

far as Mile 13. However, the Nome
sea wall contractor has started
hauling rock and at the same time
repairing the road. While these
repairs are going on the public

the contractor by obeying the ;
signs placed for their protection.
Caution will be required at all

in staying off the roads until thor- j
oughly dry, will result in having ,
good roads for the balance of the j
season.

Other expenses for the boys in
clude the purchase of special Jam
boree uniforms, estimated to cost
about $25 per boy, plus whatever
amount of spending money he
and his family decide he should
have for the trip. Most of the
Scouts are providing their own
fees, the scout executive said, al
though some are being assisted in
the trip cost by sponsoring insti
tutions—particularly is this true
of the younger boys who are re
stricted in their money-earning
opportunities.
Present plans call for the group
to leave Alaska about June 20, re- j
turning from Jeattle July 20. At
Seattle they will join that city’s '
contingent, traveling in a special ■
train through St. Paul, Chicago, !
Columbus, Washington, Vail e y j
Forge, New York, Rochester, Ni
agara Falls, Detroit, Denver, and
Salt Lake City. At Washington, D.
C., during their two-day stay,
sleepers will be parked at the
railroad station, thus eliminating
the necessity for hotels. The party
will spend two nights at the Lin
coln Hotel in New York City, and
will be at Valley Forge for the
Jamboi-ee encampment for one
week. At Seattle they will be
guests of the Y. M. C. A., where it J
is expected they will have the op- j
portunity for swimming and life- !
saving instruction classes in the j
pool.

tions for the trip include: Rad

Their walkout was to enforce
demands for hiring a second fire
man on multiple diesel unit loco
motives. The railroads, whose con
tention had been upheld by Pres
idential fact finding boards, main
tained this constituted “made
work” as the second fireman
would not be needed on a diesel
which has no fire to tend.
The New York Central, one of
the struck lines, uses a fireman
on such engines now. The Penn- ,
sylvania does not. Other lines
whose operations are crippled by
the walkout are the Southern
Railway, serving the south, and
the Santa Fe, a principal carrier
between Chicago and the Pacific
Coast.
It is the first major rail strike
since May, 1946.

| Britons are drinking less beer
nowadays. Latest figures show
the country’s production of the
! stuff dropped to 1,831,769 bulk
barrels a month. Analysts say the
slump is due probably both to
high beer prices—resulting from
high taxes and the ..rowing pop
ularity of entertainment found
outside saloons. They guess the
onset of home television may ag
gravate it.
