It's not only bragged about by Austral ians all over the world, but it's consumed at home in gargantuan quantities. The brewing industry is only this year reaching the stage where it is catching up with de mand. And the demand last year was the third greatest in the world, amounting to about 24 gallons per person. Only Bel gium and Luxembourg top the Australians as beer drinkers, and there is the possibility, that with extended drinking hours and increased production, Aus tralians will emerge as the world's champion beer drinkers before the end of this year. Selby Burt of Tooth's Brew ery, Australia's largest, said some 206,600,000 gallons of the foamy amber beverage were pro duced and consumed here last year. And those are imperial gal lons, four of which equal five U. S. gallons. American beer consumption last year amounted to only 14 imperial gallons per person, Burt said. And all this is accomplished despite rigidly controlled drink ing in public. Bars in some Aus tralian states close at 6 p.m. In Sydney and New South Wales they have recently been allowed to remain open until 10 p.m., but must close from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in hotels only guests and travel ers may be served on Sundays. And none of it is sold in cans. "Australians just don't like to drink out of a can," Burt ex plained. But they do like to drink out of a glass, and the bars called pubs resemble a bargain sale on nylons in late afternoon when the homeward-bound Australian stops in at his favorite pub for a "a middie or two." As thousands of Amori"-"'; learned during World War II, Australian beer paeKs a u.... . The 3.2 per cent by weight pro duced in America is considered slops by the Australian, whose beer averages better than four per cent alcohol by weight. A 10-ounce middie costs about 12 cents and a 20-ounce schooner about 20 cents except in the more fashionable restaurants where a cent or two may be tacked on for prestige, or out in the hinter land where the bottle and bar rels have to be trucked in a few in .v.. ca miles. Regardless of where you find yourself in Aus tralia, and it's a country the size of the United States, you'll al ways find beer, and you'll always find it cooled, for, unlike the British, the Australians want their beer chilled. Navy Veieran Sends Seeds To Needy Lands Newark. N. J. (U.R) Four years ago, when a Korean child died of malnutrition in his arms, Patty Mozier decided to become "Patty Gardenseed." Patty, a veteran of 30 years in the U. S. Navy and Marine Corps, decided then and there a few seeds would go a long way toward feeding the hungry peo ple of the world. Since then Pat ty has circled the globe several times and distributed some 250, 000 packages of seeds. "That's actually .$2,500,000 in food," Patty explained, "because each package yields $10 worth of food. 1 can buy 30 packages for a dollar, so each dollar con tributed helps hungry people raise $300 worth of food." The modern Johnny Apple seed wears; a cowboy suit ever since someone took him for an Englishman and hit him over the nead. Beer drinking here has be come such an institution that an ptlempt was made to restrict the beer .drinking at the mining town of Broken Hill, one of the world's largest producers of lead and zinc. Production stopped and the miners refused to go underground again until assured that their government would make no further attempt to cur tail their beer drinking. 4r - V rv J -""P'A; V- < k-tg wsC -y, t'i'C - K - "?'7& i-h hi7W Only Union Pacific offers you... the Luxury of ASTRA DOME DINING plus the Economy of FAMILY PLAN FARES on Hi luxury styled Domeliner "City of Portland" to Chicago and East at no extra fare.

Some 2,700 miles of track criss-cross the peninsular na tion, monthly freight traffic is double what it was six years ago and a sweeping dieselization program is under study. World War II and the Ko rean conflict socked the coun try with a one-two punch. The first cut off the agricultural south from the industrial north at the 38th parallel, and the second saw the battering of rail lines, equipment and installa tions. Before World War II the rail network, which ' was largely built by the Japanese, was laid out like a tree with a thick trunk and scrawny branches. New Coal Exploited Coal for powering steam loco motives was extracted from mines in North Korea, and the main trunk line from Manchuria to the Korea Strait opposite Japan was heavily traveled. East-West rail transportation, however, was almost non-existent. The Japanese were interested only in moving products to and from Manchuria. Korea was merely a bridge over which rail lines were laid. With the division of the coun try, railroading in southern Ko rea was almost strangled. Abundant supplies of cheap grade coal exist in the central section of the new republic, but most of the fields are in remote mountainous areas. In exploit ing this idle coal, new rail lines had to be laid across the country with tie-ins to the main north south rail trunk. Ninety-three miles of rail lines to these coal-rich areas have been spiked down and at least another 50 miles are being con structed or are in the planning stage. The National Railway had 11,400 freight cars before the Korean fighting and was down to 3.000 when the struggle end ed. United Nations economic aid has brought the figure up to 12,000. Largest Industry Passenger cars, however, have not made as complete a recov ery, but new rolling stock is en route from the United States. Of 1,182 cars in pre-war days, less than half were left when the fighting stopped. The level has now reached 626 cars, but 202 of these are being used for Oldest Army Unit ' Observes 180th Year Fort Riley, Kans. CU.P.) The U. S. Array's oldest unit on con tinuous active duty observed its 180th birthday during March, on home soil for the first time since early in World War II. The outfit is Battery D of the 1st Infantry Division's 5th Field Artillery battalion. It was organized in 1776 as the New York Provincial Artil lery company, captained by 19-year-old Alexander Hamilton. After the Declaration of Inde- baggage, mail, and hospital fa cilities. However, 380 freight cars have been converted to passenger use. Passenger traffic is 10 times that of civilian freight traffic in terms of rev enue produced. Locomotives were hardest hit during the war. The railway now has 500 steam locomotives, of which about 50 per cent are in efficient or difficult to keep in working order. The first 10 diesels are presently being pro cured with aid funds. U.N. and ROK officials want to dieselize completely the country's rail road network by 1960. Railroading is now the big gest single industry in the na tion. The densely populated country is heavily dependent on rail traffic.

George' Washing ton's rmy that Christmas night when he surprised the Hessians with his famed crossing of the Delaware river.
