Walt acted quickly and coolly to

Fire Razes

BLAINE, Feb. 18 MV-This border
: city's first major fire since before
, the war blazed on the main thor
; oughfare Tuesday morning, razing
' two of its best-known business es
, tablishments.
Fire Chief Alfred Kruse estimated
loss of Larson's cafe and the
Rainbow tavern at (50.000. They are
' located on Peace Portal drive, which
I is on the Pacific highway In down-
town Blaine, not far from the ln
j ternational boundary.
The fire had too good a start when
discovered at 4:55 a.m. to be put out
by the volunteer firemen, but it was
confined to the two stores. It ap
parently started in the basement of
the cafe.
Kruse was overcome by smoke but
there were no serious casualties.
Production Up
In
England
SPOKANE, Feb. 18 yP Britain's
national production Is up 20 to 30
per cent over pre-war levels, but
must go higher yet for security, Ed
ward A. A. Shackleton. member of
parliament, said Tuesday.
As an example of a step on the
road to recovery Shackleton said
coal production, one of the coun
try's vital industries, had risen to
the point where exports to Europe
were under way.
Shackleton, a former Royal Air
force wing commander, is in Spo
kane to fill a series of speaking en
gagements. Office Building
Purchase Eyed
PORTLAND, Feb. 18 IPiA pro
posal that the state board of control
buy Portland's Lincoln high school
for an office building met a cool
reception today from school board
members.
Sig Unander, candidate for repub
lican nomination for state treasurer,
suggested that the city's only west
side high school could be bought
at a price which would save the
state half the cost of a new office
building. At the same time the
school district would be able to
proceed faster on plans for a new
Lincoln high, he said.
Ouy E. Jaques and 8. Eugene
Allen of the school board said Lin
coln Is at the "tall end" of a 10
year building program and the sale
price wouldn't build a new structure.
Facsimile Used
In NYC Papers
NEW YORK, Feb. 18 W Fac
simile newspapers written and edited
by the staff of the New York Times
were received at 14 New York de
partment stores. The Times said It?
was the first postwar demonstration
of a radio transmitted newspaper on
a large scale.
Blx editions were sent out at five
minutes after each hour between 11
a.m. and 4 p.m. over radio station
WQXR-FM. Each edition contained
four pages, 11 Inches long and
eight Inches wide.
Demonstrations will continue for
four weeks.

This lady Is Xl-year-old Mrs. Ruth
Bcrbes, who last week launched i
one-woman drive against present

of living fast." Her passive rebellion

cents for a quarter pound of butter.
Mrs. Bcrbes immediately went on
a diet consisting of five slices of
biead a day and two glasses of milk.
In the first few days she lost three
pounds. She said other housewives
were taking up the idea.

esting possibilities. If it becomes
popular American women will have
to put even more padding In their
clothing to retain the "new look."
and that will probably cost more
money than they saved by dieting
Bachelors Benefit
Stingy bachelors will benefit most.
They will show up at their girls'
houses with a loaf of bread and a
bottle of milk and say:
"Let's stay here and enloy a nice
meal at home, honey. We'll fight
this ol" inflation together."
Personally I think Mrs. Berbes Is
overlooking an even better way to
reduce her grocery bills.
She works at a drugstore soda
fountain. I did this for two years
during high school and found my
worries about food costs were at in
end.
When I took the job I weighed an
aiiemic 135 pounds and could hard
ly muscle up a gallon Jug of choco
late syrup. Technically we were
supposed to pay for any delicacies
we consumed. But with me the
public always came first. From time
to time I found it necessary to taste
pioper for the customers. I also
ngularly checked the marshmallow.
the fudge sauce and the crushed
pineapple.
After two years the store man
ager found that my wholehearted
devotion to-the public welfare was
costing him about one gallon of ice
cream out of every five. So he
moved me over to the tobacco coun
ter But I had gained 25 pounds.
I hadn't bought any meals for
months and months, and had
money in the bank to start college.

Of Peace
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 iP)
President Truman said Tuesday he
Is "an optimist" about prospects for
eventual peace In the world.
Speaking extemporane o u s 1 y to
members of the United States na
tional commission for UNESCO, the
president said there are many prob
lems which have to be confronted
but that he believes they will be
solved.
UNESCO is the United Nations
educational, scientific and cultural
organization. One of its 'purposes is
the exchange of scientific and cul
tural information among nations.
Secretary of State Marshall, who
addressed the group earlier, told it
UNESCO's work Is of "tremendous
importance" to world peace.
