The premiere Is scheduled to be

As for the pass hunters, It appears
that they are out of luck for the

It appears that no one will be In

Theater owners are getting their

New Style Garbage Cans
Fail to Fool Park Bears
SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK. Cal.
(UP) "Wanted a bear-proof garb
age can."
For many summers this has been
the cry of campers, ranger and other
resident of the Sequoia area as they
sought deliverance from the con
tinued bear-nuisance.
For as many summer, the bruins
have stolen their midnight snacks
regularly by heaving over the large
size garbage cans that dot the camps.
For even more summers, the smaller
cubs have watched with chagrin their
larger brethren pick out the "caviar"
and leave what is left for the des
piped 3-year-olds, unable to turn over
a can for themselves.
In a determined effort to remedy
the situation, the Parks company this
summer distributed a good many
small-size, patented screw-top cans
flour and salt. Add tha egg and
milk. Cook in a double boiler until
the mixture becomes very thick and
creamy. Cool. Add the extracts and
spread on top of one of the baked
cake layers. When "set" cover with
the other layer. Spread with the Jelly
and sprinkle with the confectioner's
sugar.
