Substitute For Meatless Tuesday Proves Success NEW YORK, UP) Many of New York's biggest and most popular eating places, experi menting on a substitute for meat less Tuesdays, have been reduc ing the number of meat dishes on the menus by 40 per cent while serving meat every day. The Society of Restaurants re ported that the three-month-old experiment has been a success. Paul Henkel, president, told a meeting of the society the new plan encourages wider use of meat substitutes and reduces waste. Henkel urged that the U. S. Department of Agriculture adopt the plan nationally to replace meatless Tuesdays as a conserva tion measure. 1 Reservations for prlvats SKATING PARTIES rs available at the Rainbow Skating Rink Winchester ROLLER SKATE Roseburg Armory Sunday, Wednesday and Friday Evenings.

Rt. 3, Box 161 Phone 483-R-l Urged In Caution Seeking Alaska Fish Industry Jobs WASHINGTON (P) Don't go to Alaska looking for a fishing industry job, says the Fish and Wildlife Service, unless: A. You have a definite offer. B. You have enough money to get home on if work is not avail able. It will also help, the agency cautions, if you have experience in that line. . A service publication, prepared by Paul Elliott of the Commer cial Fisheries Division, points out that most canneries do their hir ing in March or April, usually in Seattle. Workers hired at Seattle re ceive transportation and travel time pay at the cannery's ex pense. Most canneries provide monthly employes with room and board, and hire them from two to five months in the summer and early fall. Wages vary from $191 to $376 a month for cannery and culi nary workers, up to S317 to $578 a month for machinists, electri cians and carpenters. The 48-hour week is customary. "People experienced in fishing or in the work of the canneries are now much more readily avail able than they were during the war years," Elliott says. He adds that the cost of food and lodging in Alaska is from 25 to 30 per cent higher than in the United States. In regard to fishing, as dis tinguished from cannery work, Elliott adds: "In most cases hours are long, work hard and Income moderate. "Very often the fishermen ac tually lose money when the fish ing or marketing conditions are poor. Furthermore, seasickness is often a problem. "The reluctance of the captain of individual fishing vessels to hire inexperienced personnel is not surprising. The crew must be a well integrated team if the fishing is to pay. "Anyone entering the fishery for the first time must usually expect low earnings for the first two or three seasons."

We buy our electricity, as you do, from public serv ice sources. But to make sure calls keep going through in emergencies, we have many motor-driven standby generators to supply our own power when necessary. &-3?f& 4 , -t"'v-:3 " L 1 f 8 ? h , , "" f 1 t i ' I 4S- i 111 Hj I ! iv v ' ; . -r- .! m rr 'A " 1 ' .

Giant batteries... or many smaller ones... catch the "juice" and release it as the direct current that sends your voice over our system. The number of calls we're handling today makes even these huge reserves run down quickly. They must be charged continually from public power sources or our own emergency generators. 3. When you pick up your telephone, you put electricity to work as it gives your voice a lift along wires and through switching panels. It takes little power to handle one call. But handling millions takes a lot. It makes us one of the West's big users of electricity. And it all adds up as part of our cost of furnishing telephone service. 4. Your telephone is more valu able today than ever before. For since 1940, telephones on the Coast have increased 753. Today you can reach more people... more people can get in touch with you. Each new telephone added makes your telephone a more valuable servant.

The 73-year-old Spanish war veteran choked a bit and said: "When some dirty skunk steals some thing, it's unusual for somebody to replace it." Then he thought of his wife: "She's out at the store, trying to buy another radio for me; she can't afford it. don't let her do it." A neighbor found her just in time. Radioactive Cure For Goiter Found CLEVELAND, Ohio (P) this country's millions of goiter suf ferers mav find a cure in radio active iodine a by-product of atomic research. Radioactive iodine from the Oak Ridge, Tenn., atomic plant has cured 20 per cent of toxic goiter sufferers treated during tne last lb months at Cleveland University Hospital, a panel of nhvslrinn rAnnrtH ! ine pnyslcians said the treat ments Improved the condition of another 30 per cent.
