"Canadian efforts fall far short
of supplying pulp and paper de

the Bureau's report, in support of
firoposals to extend reclamation

"Against this (Canadian and U.

Caution Enjoined
Over Holiday On
CHICAGO Going somewhere
over the Fourth of July?
If you are, then plan your
trip safely. But even If you stay
home, keep safety In mind for
the Fourth of July holiday one
of the most dangerous weekends
of the year.
That is the advice of the Na
tional Safety Council which is
coordinating a nationwide cam
paign to hold down the usual
upsurge in accidental deaths dur
ing the Independence Dav cele
bration. One hundred and thirty
national organizations, as well as
state and city public officials
are cooperating in the effort.
Motor vehicle accidents lead
the list of holiday hazards, the
Council said. Drowning from
swimming and fishing accidents
is the second biggest risk. Other
deaths are due to fireworks and
firearms, sunstroke and heat ex
haustion, food poisoning, falls
and miscellaneous accidents.
The death toll for the month
of July last year was 8,700, the
Council said. While it is im
possible to determine the exact
number of deaths from all causes
occurring during the Fourth of
July holiday, the Council said
the total was well above the
average for other days of the
month.

he doesn't agree with some of, his
governors' conference colleagues
in demanding greater control
over the spending of U. S. money.
"Government is too expensive
at all levels," he said. "We need

Two United Slates tourists
said Sunday they had been told
by Canadian customs officials

highway.
The two men, George G. Daunt

said they had refused to pay the
deposit pending inquiries into the
reason for it.
They arrived In Calgary last
night from Babb, Mont., on a 30
day permit to travel In Alberta.
Both said they had never heard of
such a permit before.
Officials of the Junior Chamber
of Commerce In Calgary also said
they had no knowledge of such a
deposit for travelers to Alaska.
Board of trade officials said it
might be required under United
States laws.
The men said customs officials
would not tell them whal Ihe de
posit was for. However, they said
the sum was apparenlly arrived
nt from the assessed value of
their automobile. They understood
Ihe deposit would be returned to
hem on their return trip from
the Alaska highway. They were
told the deposit would have to be
paid at Edmonton.
The two retired business men.
who plan an extended Irip
through Alberta, British Columbia
and the Alaska highway, said they
would willingly pay the deposit if
they found out "what It is for."
