SNOW SLIDES OFF
HT. ROBERTS BLOCK
TRANE ROAD TODAY
Three slides roared down the
slopes of Mt. Roberts at interval.'
this morning to block the Thane
road a short distance below the city
refuse dump. The slides all came off
the mountain down “old avalanche
draw,” one on top of the other and
covered from 75 to 100 feet of the
roadway with snow six or seven
feet deep at its greatest point.
The first slide occurred in the
early morning hours. It was not a
big slide and was cleared in shor'
time to permit the passage of cars
on the road by the Bureau of Pub
lic Roads crew, under direction of
Evan Wruck, road foreman. A short
time after 8 o’clock the second and
largest slide followed the first and
a little before noon a third small
slide joined the parade. The slides
occurred at the same place the big
avalanche of last month came eff
the mountain.
The BPR road crew with its big
bulldozer expected to have the road
open this afternoon.
Small slides were heard coming
off Mt. Juneau during the night.
Wruck and his road crew will be
glad to see today’s work ended. They
spent all of last night sanding the
ice which covers most of Glacier
Highway as a result of the sudden
lift in temperature and its accom
panying rains.
Chris Wyleer, BPR District Engi
neer in charge of road work in this
locality warned today that no one
should attempt to drive a car over
the highway under its pre ent icy
state unless business makes travel
necessary.

Snake Is Strange
Bedfellow o! Malayan
MUAR, Malaya—l/P)—Hasnah, a
21-year-old married Malay woman,
sleeps with a 21-foot, 137-pound
python every Thursday night—the
Moslem sabbath. She does this
because she thinks the python is
the reincarnation of her mother-in
law.
Tuan Haji Yunos, her husband
said he dreamed three days after
his mother's death that she had
come to the house in the form of
a python. Then the python came.
Hasnah and the python seem to
get along well. But the big snake’s
appetite is enormous. It consume:
7 pounds of meat every mornint
and evening.

FOR TOP PLATOON
WESTERN FRONT, Korea, Feb.
16.—(#>—A cryptic lieutenant from
Georgia doesn’t waste words in
battle reports to headquarters. He
prefers the chatter of his platoon’s
machineguns.
He is Lt. Remer Y. Brinson of
Savannah, whose infantry platoon
commands a shallow ford in the
Han River southeast of Seoul. Three
days ago Brinson radioed battalion
headquarters:
"Twenty enemy crossing river.”
"You want artillery support?”
asked Lt. Col. Julius W. Levy of
August, Ga., battalion commander.
"What you want us to do?”
Back came the reply:
"Nothing. Twenty crossed. Twenty
dead now.”
Yesterday Brinson reported 35
Reds trying to surround his position.
Did he want aid? Brinson said no.
An hour later he radioed: "Killed
22. Sorry Reds got away.”
Colonel Levy, who told the stories,
said Brinson’s platoon had been
cut off several times and each time
fought its way out. When Levy
asked if his platoon wanted to
be relieved. Brinson messaged: "No.
We want to run up our score.”
An average of 100 persons who
claim they are more 100 years old
die each month in the U. S.
