Scientists Await
Improved Weather
Atomic Test Site, Nev. (IB-
American scientists waited im
patiently today for the weather
to improve so they can explode
with safety the first nuclear de
vice of an unusually long series
of tests
Unfavorable winds caused by
a last - minute change in weath
er conditions led the Atomic En
ergy Commission to postpone for
24 hours the detonation of a nu
clear device atop a 500-foot tow
er which had been scheduled
for today.
The AEC explained that winds
would have carried radioactive
particles in dangerous quantities
south of the firing area, sprink
ling them upon newspapermen,
the scientistst hemselves and
military observers, including
those from 13 NATO nations
gathered to witness the tests.

hurt or kill anyone.

Sleepy Mexican Village May
Be No. 1 Tourist Attraction
La Paz, Lower Calif. (U.R)
This sleepy, Mexican fishing
town is rapidly coming to life,
and residents predict that in 10
years it will become the No. 1
goal of tourists ' from the entire
western section of the United
States.
Long known as one of the
world's finest sports fishing
spots, La Paz is now expanding
facilities to provide recreation
for those who do not take to
the rod and reel.
New resort-type hotels are
being built and are being filled
with an ever-increasing number
of visitors.
All eyes are on the highway
under construction to connect
La Paz with the United States
at Tijuana. Everyone admits,
however, that it will be several

Lucerne is a better milk

Lucerne.)
Lucerne is a better buy
... because the bonus quality
you get in Lucerne costs you
nothing extra less, in fact,
than home-delivered milk. (The
Lucerne people can pay more

because they never make ex

Felix F. Diaz Bonilla, editor
of the newspaper Accion and
a member of a three-man com
mittee that discussed the new
highway with President Ruiz
Cortines', said there is little
chance of speeding' the work.
"The President explained that
the amount of money involved
for the 1,000 miles of highway
was extremely great," he said.
"The president said his admin
istration was spending as much
as possible on the project but
that it would be up to the fol
lowing administration to com
plete it."
By Air and Beat
Mayor Alberto Avarado A.
said there was no question but
that" the highway would change
the entire economy of La Paz.
"However," he said, "we are
growing now. We now have
between 25,000 and 28,000 residents."
There are only two ways to
reach La Paz at this time by
air or by yacht. And each month
shows additional thousands of
tourists coming to enjoy the cli
mate, the fishing, the recrea
tion or just to rest far away
from telephones.
The airline Trans-Mar de Cor
tez has expanded its service
from Tijuana to daily flights
and Aeronaves de Mexico flies
daily from the mainland of
Mexico. Flights are filled.
Guillermo Escudero . Lujan,
president of the local Chamber
of Commerce, said the very fact
that the town can not be reached
easily makes living pleasant. He
said the natives continue to be
friendly to tourists and that
thefts are virtually unknown.
"It's because we are just like
living on an island," he said.
Robert Elias, manager of Los
Arcos Hotel, has posted this no
tice in the rooms:
"Since our little hotel has
been in operation, we've never
had one case of theft from any
one or any room. As for locking
your room every time you go
out, you needn't bother because
no one will touch anything. We
are proud of our employees and
can vouch for their honesty and
integrity."
Hunting, Too
The swank hotel Los Cocos,
located two miles out of La Paz,
now has 19 rooms and 30 more
under construction. There is not
a lock on any room door.
In their efforts to entertain
others besides fishermen the re
sort operators have begun to
publicize swimming, shell col
lecting, hiking and at one place
horseback riding.
Hunting is great in the hills
around La Paz, but involves
considerable red tape for the
traveler from the United States.
To obtain a gun permit it is
necessary to belong to a gun club
in the United States that is af
filiated with one in Mexico.
Then arrangements must be
made weeks in advance.
But whatever else develops
La Paz "will still be notable for
its fishing.
During the first week in April
two San Diego, Calif., men were
fishing with two lines out. A
200-pound dolphin took the bait
and the second fisherman imme
diately set to pull in his line
to get it out of the way. Before
he could reel it in, the bait was
taken by a marlin, which began
to tangle the lines.
It took more than an hour but
these skilled rodmen boated
both fish and were back at their
hotel for lunch. For their dinner,
the hotel chef prepared the
marlin.

calling for a vote of the people
on discontinuance of tubercu

Dalles or Portland passed the
House late Wednesday and went
to the governor fof signature.
Rep. R. E. Schedeen, Gresham
Democrat, said the bill would
give the Board of Control power
to use one or both of the hos
pitals for other purposes.
There are three TB hospitals
in Oregon. The Salem hospital
has 179 patients with a capacity
of 270. The Dalles hospital has 92
patients with a capacity of 170
and the Portland hospital has
63 patients with a capacity of 80.
Schedeen said he doubted if
either The Dalles or the Portland
hospitals would be closed. He
said one or the other probably
would be shifted to care for
mental patients - or geriatric
cases. .
Rep. Katherine Musa, The
Dalles Democrat, objected to the
bill because it had no provision
for closing the Salem hospital.

You buy a refrigerator only two or three times
in your lifetime. ,
Yet you don't hesitate to buy one without
getting so much as a look at the intricate "works"
that makes it run.
How do you dare make such an important
purchase without having an expert check it over
for you? What makes you so sure you're getting
your money's worth when you say, "I'll take
that one"? 1
The answer's obvious. You look for the brand
name on the refrigerator your "guarantee."
You've learned to follow this first rule of safe
and sound buying:
A good brand is your best guarantee
Ko matter what kind of product you want to
buy, you know a good brand won't let you down.
You know the maker stands back of it guar
antees it. And so, when you buy a good brand
you know you're right.
Read this newspaper to find out which are
the good brands (and the stores that sell them.)
The more good brands you know, the surer yon
are about all your shopping.
