Board Recommends
Raises For Railroads
wasmngton w.kj A presi
dential emergency board has
recommended that major rail
roads boost the pay of most of
their clerks, telegraphers, main
tenance men and other non-operating
employees by HV2 cents
per hour.
The board was set up by Presi
dent Eisenhower to avert a
threatened strike by 12 unions
representing the non-operating
railway workers.
It also recommended that the
railroad assume the full cost of
alth and welfare insurance,
which now is split 50:5Q between
the railroads and the workers.
Under the board's recommen
dations the extra welfare bene
fits would become effective
March 1, 1956. They would be
equal to an additional pay raise
of about two cents per hour, the
board said.
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.
"The United States tradition
ally has followed Europe in all
other phases of forestry," he
added, "but it is the world's
acknowledged leader in fire con
trol "

Tuna Industry
Intervention
San Diego, Calif. 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."

e answer is the same
Thousands have asked us why "It's the Water"
Since 1896 we have been telling westerners about the rare
water that flows cold and clear from our deep artesian wells
one of the world's few sources of naturally, perfect brewing
water. 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.
