Forest Fire Energy Waste Linked to Bomb Ann Arbor, Mich U.R) There's as much energy wasted in forest fires each year as would be released by the ex plosion of 250,000 medium atom bombs, according to a Univer sity of Michigan forestry profes sor, Kenneth P. Davis. Davis, co-arthur of "Forest Fire Control and Use," ex plained that the energy equiv alent of an A-bomb is released in 40 acres of burning brush, and 10,000,000 acres of forests burn each year. Steps are being taken to cut down the loss, Davis said. Mod ern fire-fighting equipment is being used increasingly against the fires, and airplanes are sup plementing watchtowers in spotting them before they get out of control. He said a modern power plow or tractor equipped with power spray nozzles, two-way radios and walkie-talkies does the work of 50 men in fighting for est fires.

U.R) A prediction that the federal gov ernment will intervene in the West Coast tuna industry crisis was made by Rep. Robert Wilson (R-Calif.) when he addressed by amplified telephone a meeting of 400 wives of San Diego tuna fishermen. According to Mrs. Laura Tocco chairman of the Tuna Fisher men's Wives Emergency Com mittee, imported Japanese frozen tuna have ruined the San Diego tuna industry. "Our fishermen simply can't compete with the Japanese, who sell their fish for $100 less a ton than our men can afford to sell for," she said. The wives organized to con duct a campaign to get President Eisenhower to establish a quota on the frozen tuna imports. Wilson tbld the wives that the "only solution " is a quota and one which will have some teeth in it. However, we are going to have to share the market with other countries."

In years gone by, Olympia's Master Brewers attempted to duplicate the quality of Olympia Beer at other locations, using other waters. The results never satisfactorily approached the unchanging quality and the delightfully refreshing flavor you rely -upon each time you have a glass of Olympia. That is why we confine the brewing of Olympia Beer to one plant at the site of our artesian wells, and why Olympia has won its reputation as a superb beer of consistent good taste. Many have found the answer in the Encyclopaedia Here is what the Encyclopaedia Britannica says about the importance of water in brewing: "Beer on an average contains some 91 water. It is there fore not surprising that the character of the beer is to a large degree determined by the nature of the water used in its production. In fact, for many centuries in the past certain localities in Europe, such as BurtonKn-Trent, Pilsen, Munich, Dortmund and others have enjoyed the reputation of producing ales and beers of distinctive character which could not be duplicated elsewhere. The secret, unrecognized for a long time, lay in the peculiar composition of their waters. .if 49 far n &m s. m s j. 4FapaTOTr 49 ra.
