Motel Builders Plan
Alaska Chain
EL CAJON, Calif. iff — An tx
panding motel corporation, Trav
elodge, is making long-range plans
to build a chain of tourist facili
ties in Alaska, the company said.
Travelodge Motels are tenta
tively planned for all major cities
and many tourist stop-offs in Alas
ka. said Jim Anderson, Travelodge
advertising director. No definite
plans for construction in Alaska
have been made yet, he said.
The 15-year-old company has
extended its chain of 250 motels
northward into British Columbia,
with lodges at Revelstoke, Prince
George and Dawson Creek.
The company plans to space its
Alaskan motels one day’s drive
apart, Anderson said.
Travelodge began building mo
tels in California in 1948 but in
recent years has extended its
chain into the Midwest and East
ern parts of the country.
JUST BEING FRIENDLY —

a monkey.

It was a four-foot-long copper
head snake.

Trainship Serviee
FAIRBANKS Lf* — Alaska
Steamship Co. is purchasing the
Japanese-built City of New Or
leans and will put the vessel in
service next spring between Van
couver. B. C.. and Whittier on the
Alaska railbelt, it was announced
here Tuesday.
Robert Behnke, executive vice
president of Alaska Steam, made
the announcement in an address
before the membership luncheon
, of the Fairbanks Chamber of
Commerce.
Noting that efforts to purchase
the railcar ship for the domestic
: trade from Seattle to the railbelt
had failed by only one vote in
Senate committee. Behnke said the
company has decided to operate
the ship from Vancouver rather
than relinquish its purchase op
tion.
The purchase announcement cli
maxed nine years of efforts by
Alaska Steam to bring loaded rail
cars up from the smaller states
for fast service at the lowest pos
sible rates, he said.
Purchase price was indicated to
be in the neighborhood of $4 mil
lion. The City of New Orleans, now
in Jacksonville, Fla., will be re
modeled during the next few
months.
"When all modifications are
complete, she will have a capacity
of 56 railcars and be able to ac
commodate vans on them,’ said
Behnke. “The speed of the vessel.
18 knots, will provide a round
| trip between terminal points each
1 week.
“The speed and capacity com
i bine to provide very substantial
! annual capacity for the railbelt of
I the most modern service available
: anywhere in the world,” he said.
More books have been written
about the American Civil War
than any other subject except re
ligion — and sex.

‘Torpedoed’
HARTFORD, Conn, ifl — Thom
as Scanlon, torpedoed by a sub
marine in June, 1962, has been
awarded $200 damages.
Scanlon, of New Britain, Conn.,
broke a tooth on a sandwich
known variously along the Eastern
seaboard as a submarine, grinder
and hero.
Circuit Judge Bernard Kosicki
ruled for Scanlon yesterday in a
suit against Food Crafts Inc., of
West Hartford.
Kosicki described the type of
sandwich in question as “a gusta
tory extravaganza of regal dimen
sions and savor. It consists of an
elongated roll either hard-crusted
or soft, slit longitudinally and
filled with an imaginative assort
ment of meats, condiments and
vegetables.”
However, the sandwich roll
Scanlon tried to bite into was so
hard it “was not reasonably fit
for human consumption,” the
judge ruled.
No wonder you wake up thirsty.
Your body gives off half a pint
of moisture during a night’s sleep.

Charlie Chaplin Contests
‘Rejuvenation’ Claim
NICE, France i/fl—Charle Chap
lin has gone to court to challenge
a clinic’s claim that its ‘‘miracle
rejuvenation treatment” enabled
the movie comedian to father a
child at the age of 73.
Chaplin denied receiving any
such treatment by the Clinique
Medicale De Sante, Medical Clinic
of Health of Nice, and charged
that the clinic’s brochure invaded
his personal rights. He demanded
that the brochure be seized and
destroyed.
The court is expected to issue
a ruling this week.
The brochure said Chaplin un
d e r w e n t “celluthotherapy" in
Switzerland.
Chaplin’s fourth wife, Oona,
gave birth to their eighth child
last year at Lausanne, Switzerland.
Chaplin, now 74, also has two chil
dren by his second marriage, to
actress Lita Grey.
The average life of an alcoholic
is 51 years, that of the rest of the
population nearly 70

'CAESAR' CUT POPULAR
HUTCHINSON, Kans. UP — Are
teen-age boys giving up crew cuts
and duck-tail hair styles?
Hutchinson barbers report the
newest fad is something called the
Caesar cut — named for the style
shown on marble busts of that old
Roman, Julius Caesar.
The hair is cut short, combed
forward from the crown to hang
over the forehead in the form of
bangs.
“It’s easy to handle — that’s
why they wear them I guess,” said
barber Tony Entz.
