CAB Chairman
Favors Pacific
Northwest Route j
I
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4—(/P)—
iWiV ^aid he had re
ceived a letter fro* CAB, which
he interpreted as^J^yoring an air
route to th^1 Orient from the Pa
cific Northwest, rather than one
through Canada and Alaska. The
letter is a reply to a request of
eighteen western Senators for the
board to approve the selection of
the Pacific Northwest route to the
Orient.
Chairman Pogue wrote that the
recommendations of the examiner
for a Canada-Alaska route “repre
sent his independent conclusions
and don’t necessarily reflect the
views of the board.” Senator
Mitchell said the “emphasis on
the fact that the board is not
bound to follow the examiners’
report may infer its decision in fa
vor of the Pacific Northwest gate
way for air service to the Orient.”

VICTORY CLOTHING
COLLECTION DRIVE
JANUARY 7 TO 12
This Christmas approximately
25,000,000 men, women and chil
dren in war-torn countries will
have received clothing donated by
the American people in the United
National Clothing Collection of
last April. But this is only a very
small percentage of the destitute
people of Europe, the Philippines
and the Far East.
There are millions of inade
quately clad. It is estimated that
in China alone 200,000,000 people
are in desperate need of clothing.
Peace did not bring an end to
the war-created shortages in raw
material, yard goods, clothing,
shoes and bedding.
War sufferers—victims of a fate
we should be grateful we escaped,
are now trying to rebuild their fac
tories. To do so they need clothes
for protection and self respect.
All types of garments for all
ages are needed. The clothing need
not be perfect, but useful. Wash
able garments should be washed,
but not necessarily ironed. Other
garments should be clean, but
need not be dry cleaned.
Clothing, shoes, overshoes, blan
kets, piece goods, remnants and
draperies will all be gratefully re
ceived.
What can you spare that they
can wear?
Our local Victory Clothing Col
lection will be from Monday, Jan
uary 7 to Saturday, January 12.
For your convenience large car
tons will be placed in each of the
grocery stores, where you may
dispose of the garments you wish
to contribute to this worthy cause.
Starting Young
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—(JP)—Two
school boys, about 10, were serv
ing as traffic directors at the cross
ing when a very pretty little girl
walked up. Both straightened in
boyish dignity and, although there
wasn’t a car in sight, motioned for
the little miss to wait. When a car
approached, they flagged it down
and motioned for the girl to cross
while the auto waited.

Salmon “Nursemaid”
Uses Sulfa Cure
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash.—(^P)
1 —Ernest Brannon, who is “nurse
maid” to thousands of baby sal
mon in the state fish hatchery on
the Dungeness River, says sulfa
thiazole was used successfully in
combating disease but that experi
ments with penicillin gave no no
ticeable results.
“When disease hit the fish,” he
said, “we put sulfathiazole in the
diet, at the ratio of one part to
35,000 parts of food. It stopped the
loss of fish.”
In another recent experiment,
Brannon virtually “stuffed” baby
dog-salmon and humpbacks with
food in a screened rearing barge
in Sequim Bay and found they
grew from IVz inches to eight
inches long in slightly over four
months—doubling their weight
