Serving Chocolate at Weddings Indian Custom The custom of serving choqolpte at wedding receptions in Middle America can be traced to the early Indians of Honduras. In that day when a youug man chose the girl of his dreams, he simply sent a matron in Ins name, bearing gifts of cocoa, a supply sufficient for the initial celebration of--he hoped--the mar. riage. If the token was accepted, she meant yes! The approaching marriage was announced by the bride's returning his gift with more cocoa, enough this time for two pairties-- one oz which would be held at his home, and the other in the home of her relatives. Thus the question asked Middle Americans "When will you be serving chocolate?" really means "When will you be married?" Three Alaskan Valleys Offer Farming Promise lb.'the farmer who casts an eye at Alaska, Stanley L. Balloun, head of the Fairbanks experiment station, offers this counsel: If you are prepared to battle low fertility Of soil, long winters, low temperatures and isolation and to make your for- {une slowly, Alaska offers much. There is rich scenery and beauty-- and an income beyond the realm of possibility for the ordinary farmer in the states.* \ - Three fairly well-developed farming areas exist, says Balloun. He describes these as the Matanuska valley, tlie Homer area on the Kenai peninsula and Tanana valley around Fairbanks. Both the Matanuska and Homer areas are in the moderate temperature strips of southern Alaska where winters are scarcely mora severe than in the midwest. Matanuska is the most extensively developed with good roads, schools, churches and a wellrounded community. The Homer area shows promise. Soil is productive, with wild brome grass growing 5 or 6 feet tall. Land 1 is available for homesteading, and some cleared and improved land is for sale at reasonable prices. Roads and markets are lacking but will undoubtedly be developed. The Tanana valley, with Fairbanks as marketing and trading cen* ter, is a promising section ordinarily overlooked. Farming here and in Iowa is very similar. One advantage of interior Alaska is its lack of wind. A 40 or 50 below zero temperature affects livestock less than would 10 below with wind. However, livestock farming has the disadvantage of a long period of cold weather and much snow. Increased labor and feed requirements result from the short pasture season. Brick tteplaeas that are should be safc&oo and a acrubbing brush, then, rinsed thoroiigfcjj.

The Australian government has decided, too, to assume responsibil. ity for the education of children of deceased, blinded or permanently incapacitated members of the fighting services. During such a child's early education the commission will meet essential expenditure involved in buying school requisites, text books and traveling to and from school. Each case will be reviewed when the child is about 10 or 11. At this stage, following an aptitude test the parent will be advised by the commission about the form- the child's subsequent education should follow. If this advice is followed a weekly education allowance will be paid to the parent. This allowance will be increased to keep pace with the child's educational progress. The scheme ^will in cases where it is deemed justified extend on to the universities where participants will not only be given financial assistance to pay for their education but also will receive a. sustenance allowance. - •t IM*H I 11 lIHitlM M i ll I* TUESDAY (ONE DAY) Roy Rogers -- Dale Evans "UTAH" Also New U. 8.
