Milk and Trim \Vaistlines
Girls who are afraid to drink
milk because they think it is fat
tening, don’t have a scientific leg
to stand on, according to Miss
Agnes Sunnell, State Home Demon
stration leader with the Coopera
tive Extension Service, University
of Alaska. She points to a test
at Iowa State University to back
up the claim. The survey showed
that the girls with the trimmest
figures had drunk the most milk.
Actual results from the Iowa
study with 297 teenage girls show
ed that obesity occurred in al
most twice the number of girls
who drank little milk, compared
with those who drank a quart
or more daily.
Other survey results showed
that, after age 12, one girl in five
fell into the over-weight cate
gory. Yet, only 16 per cent of these
obese girls were from the group
that were large milk consumers.
Also, many of these overweight
girls felt milk was fattening and
most had generally poor diets. On
the other hand, almost all of the
group who drank plenty of milk
had diets that were considered
excellent in every respect.

the sixth time to discuss the fate
of two U.S. Army captains whose
helicopter landed in Communist

contention that the Americans, in
landing, committed “a hostile act

Alaska Brown Bear Cub |
For Portland Zoo
JUNEAU W) — A four-month- i
old Alaska brown bear, named
Boo Boo during a five minute tele
vision appearance Thursday night,
was enroute to a new home in the
Portland, Ore., zoo Friday.
The cub, apparently orphaned
by some woodlands accident, was
found wandering near a cannery
at Hoonah, 40 miles southwest
of here, Tuesday by Buster Han
sen, the skipper of a fishing boat.
Hansen chased the cub into the
water to capture him and then
soothed his ruffled feelings with
liberal helpings of milk, honey
and steak.
Alaska Coastal Airlines flew
the cub to Juneau Thursday night
and the young celebrity was
promptly interviewed, through
Gerald Shelley of the State Fish
and Game Department, on station
KINY-TV.
Boo Boo was placed aboard a
Pacific Northern Airlines jetliner
for the trip to Portland and his
new home.

Going Rate Is
$1.68 a Dozen
For Human Fleas
LONDON Uft — Miss Pauline
Testo — who runs a flea circus —
was scratching around Saturday
for performers.
“Fleas,” she said, “are hard to
get these days.’
Miss Testo blamed Britain’s
health authorities for her predica
ment.
“Health authorities all over the
country have been carrying on an
increasingly active campaign
against fleas. There’s a risk of them
being wiped out,” she said.
Miss Testo needs performers be
cause she has several engagements
coming up.
“I’m down to four stars,” she
explained, “and that’s not enough
to put on a good show.”
She said fleas are not difficult
to train — once you get the right
material.
She said there are plenty of dog
fleas, but they don’t live long
enough.
“I need the sort of fleas that
get on human beings,” she went
on. “They live for months and can
be trained for the various acts.”
Miss Testo said she is willing
to pay well for potential stars.
The going rate is $1.68 a dozen.
“I’ll pay more than that,” she
said.

DOUBLE LAUNCHING
GROTON, Conn. — Two nu
clear submarines — the Polaris
firing Tecumseh and the Flasher,
an attack vessel — splashed simul
taneously into the Thames River
Saturday in a unique double
launching.
It wasn’t a side-by-side affair.
The ways were half a mile apart.
But the two ships hit the water
at the same time at the shipyard
of the Electric Boat Division of
General Dynamics Corp.
Saturday’s schedule called also
for the launching of two more
Polaris submarines, the John C.
Calhoun at Newport News, Va.,
and the Daniel Boone at Mare
Island, Calif.
