Canadian Vessel's Voyage Will Set Seafaring History San Francisco, Apr. 14 (U.R) 'ine royai Canadian moumea police patrol vessel St. Roch ar rived here today en route to Halifax, N.S., on a voyage that will write a new page in seafar ing history. When she arrives at her east ern destination, the little white vessel will be the first ship in history to have circumnavigated the North American continent. Passage Negotiated In 1944, the St. Roch negotiat ed the northwest passage, from Halifax to Vancouver, B.C., for duty as supply ship to the moun ties western Arctic outposts. Now that airplanes have taken over her task, she is on her way back to Halifax via the Panama canal to assume similiar duty on the eastern side of the continent. When she arrives she will have completely circled North Ameri ca by sea. Set. Frederick Farrar, third mate of the St. Roch, will share the little ship's triumph as the only member of the crew to make the full continent-girdling voyage. Solid Timber Hull The St. Roch is only 104 feet three inches long and displaces 323 tons. Her hull is solid timber up to 21 inches thick to shrug off the weignt ot Arctic ice. The vessel, commanded by In spector K. M. Hall, was wel comed by a delegation from the San Francisco Canadian consu late, including Consul-General Harry Scott and Consul Norman Senior. Her 14 man crew will visit San Francisco 48 hours before re suming her voyage. Lot of Farmers Said To Grow Worse Later Washington, Apr. 14 (U.R) Farmers have been faring a lit tle better so far this year than the agriculture department pre dicted. But officials said their lot will worsen later. In a report on farm income, the department estimated today that cash receipts from sale of farm products during January April will total $7,300,000,000. That's a drop of five per cent from the same period last year. Earlier the department predict ed that 1950 would bring a 10 per cent cut in farmers' cash receipts from marketings. Officials said the department still stands on that forecast. They said a relatively small por tion of farm products is market ed during the early part of the year. Total receipts probably will begin lagging further be hind the 1949 level later in the year . when, marketings, are heaviest, they said. PERIL IN DETROIT Detroit U.R) Alice Wade lost her red leather wallet at a drug store snack bar. She found it when other customers complain ed the pea soup was pink. Second Section. Mediord, Oregon, Friday, April 14. Pages 1-6 What Time Is It Here Soon To Be Monotonous Question NOT AS IT SOUNDS I Memphis, Term. (U.R) The Rev. B. A. Wilson's two children went to the Reform school, but the pastor doesn't mind mention ing it. lie used to De pastor ot the Baptist church at Reform, Ala. By United Press The annual summertime ques tion "What time is it in this town?" will become monotonous ly common in the Pacific north west beginning April. 30. The daylight savings time is sue has been settled In most cities but the argument still rages in others. So far, most cities west of the Cascades have decided to set their clocks ahead one hour, while those east of the mountains, particularly in Washington, are ignoring fast time. Confusion in Yakima In some cases, clocks a few miles apart will disagree by one hour. Yakima may become Washington's confusion center as it was last year, when clocks in the county courthouse ware set according to what each depart ment had decided, while the rest of the city was on daylight time and Yakima valley residents stucK with standard time. On April 30, clocks will be set ahead one hour in Seattle, Tacoma, Olymnia. Bremerton, Everett, Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Cosmopolis, Kelso, Longview, Vancouver, Woodland. Centraua and Chehalis in Washington. All except the latter two cities will return to standard time on September 24. But in the same area, Port An geles, Bellingham and Mount Vernon will stay on standard time, as will all rural communi ties in Lewis county, despite the fact that Chehalis and Centralia have voted to adopt fast time. These two cities will return to standard time nearly three weeks early, however September 5. Port Orford Holds Out In Oregon, only Port Orford in the southwestern part of the state and Madras in 'the central section will definitely stick to standard time. Pendleton. Baker and La Grande are undecided. All other major Oregon cities are going DST, including Port land and Eugene. Other Oregon cities committed to daylight sav ing time include Corvallis, Med ford, Klamath Falls, Roseburg, The Dalles, Oregon City. Sea side, t Milwaukie, St. Helens, Lakeview, Bend.

Richland Goes Along Richland, the atomic city, so far is the only Washington local ity cast of the Cascades adopt ing daylight saving time. But the Tri-City Herald is conducting a poll to determine whether its subscribers want the neighbor ing cities of Kenncwick and Pas co to follow suit. So far, the poll shows daylight time favored. Last year, Richland adopted day light time while Kennewick and Pasco remained on standard. Spokane has set the standard time pace for other cities In east ern Washington, including Walla walla, wenatchee, Ellensburg. Omak. Okanogan, Ephrata and Moses Lake. The northern Idaho cities of Coeur d'Alene and Lew iston normally follow Spokane's decision, xms year, vigorous ef forts are being made to adopt fast time in Lewiston and Coeur d'Alene, but the city fathers so far have decided they will fol low Spokane. California Cuts Resort Prices in Bids for Tourists Los Angeles (U.R) For the first time since the war, Califor nia resort owners are dangling bait to attract vacationists to their winter havens.

Several popular resorts and hotels offered package deals whereby meals and lodging for two days or more are available at reduced rates. Beach hotels, too, dangled off season entirements.
