“The Old Rugged Cross”
America’s Favorite Hymn
“The Old Rugged Cross” still
is America’s favorite hymn.
More than 61,000 newspaper
readers from coast to coast voted
in the recent National Newspapers
Hymn Poll and lo«482 of there
chose “The Old Rugged Cross”,
a vivid hymn which describes
the traditional meaning of the
Cross, as their dearest religious
song.
BUI McVey, the Christian Her
ald gospel singer, who directed
the survey to determine the
hymns America loves best, and
Audience Analysts, Inc., Bala
Cynwyd, Fr., the independent re
search organization which tabu
lated votes from readers of more
than 1,000 newspapers, reported
that “How Great Art” was
a close second to “The Old Rug
ged Cross.”
' “How Great Thou Art”, a dy
namic gospel song describing
God’s omnipotence received 8,449
votes. Audience Anaysts said this
large vote doubtless was due to
the song’s popularity at hymn
sings across the country. “How
Great Thou Art”, a favorite se
lection of baritone tMcVey and1
BUly Grahafn, was fourth in last
years Christian Herald hymn
poll and McVey attributed part
of its current popularity to its
moving evangelistic feeling and
strong melody. .
Third National Favorite
The third favorite hymn dis
closed by the National News
papers Hymn Poll was “What a
Friend We Have in Jesus”, a song
which has earned a place in
Americans’ hearts by its warm
expression of faith held by Pro
testants of every denomination,
McVey said.

Alpine Ski Championships
Initiated by Long Distance
Phone Call to Paris, France
Invitations to the 1863 Nation
al Alpine Ski championships to
tx» held in Girdwood, Alaska, were
initiated by a long distance call
to Paris, France. The invitation
by telephone was a part of the
dedicating ceremonies of the new
automatic dial system recently
installed by the Trans-Alaska
Telephone Oo.
The use of long distance calls to
issue the invitations to the Al
pine Championships was decided
upon to dramatize the versatility
of the new system now avail
able for use of the residents of
Girdwood. The Paris call was
made possible through the cour
tesy of Trans-Alaska Telephone
Co. with the cooperation of the
Alaska Communications system.
The 1963 National Alpine Ski
Championships are expected to
draw hundreds of winter sport
enthusiasts from all over the
world. •
We want the world to know
when they come here that Alas
ka has the most modem com
munication facilities found any
where, said Tom Harris, president
of the Trans-Alaska Telephone
Co. This call will help build a
new winter industry in Alaska
and wc’rc happy to be part of it,
he added.

AF Men Give I
Accounts on Ill
Fated Plane Crash
FAIRBANKS UP) — The Air
Force cargo plane which exploded
in flight, carrying possibly seven
Texas men to their deaths, was
notified shortly after takeoff from
Whitehorse, Y.T., a wheel of the
landing gear was afire, a sur
vivor said.
S/Sgt. Leroy Cotton, 37, Ga
lena Park Tex., who gave the ac
count, was one of three known
survivors when the C-l-lfl carry
ing reservists back home from
Alaska maneuvers crashed Thurs
day.
The Air Force listed two men
as known dead Saturday and five
others as dead or missing. The
latter included a man who para
chuted.
M/Sgt. Clyde Nicholas, 46, Pas
adena, Tex., said he was the last
of four to parachute. He leaped
after the explosion blew the
“right wing off, and the plane
flipped over on its back.”
Cotton and Nicholas told in
telephone interviews from White
horse of the plane’s last minutes.
Investigators checked their ac
counts.
The plane flying south from
Elmendorf Air Force Base land
ed at Whitehorse end four of the
14 passengers got off.
At takeoff the plane’s brakes
were frozen and the pilot gunned
the engines, Cotton, a line me
chanic said.
Shortly a message came from
the Whitehorse Airport their right
wheel was afire and when only
15 minutes out the pilot, Capt.
Wayne Sager, 37, Pasadena, Tex.,
turned back to Whitehorse, Cot
ton related.
“The right engine was starting
to bum,” Nicolas, the plane crew
chief said. “We had fire extin
guishers .but there wasn’t time
and the-pilot gave the jump sig
nal.”
There was not time even to
pick up survival gear, Cotton said.
He jumped first, followed by
M/Sgt. Roger Forstner, 48, Hous
ton, Tex., a mechanic; and Air
man 1/C Jean Forstner, 48, Hous
ton, Tex., a mechanic; and Airman
1/C Jean Conklin, 30, Genoa,
Tex., also a mechanic.
The explosion came. The plane
flipped over and started to plunge
to earth.
“I didn’t know how far it fell
before I could get out,” Nicholas
said.
His parachute barely opened
and he landed in a tree which
broke his fall.
“A part of the plane blew
against my leg when the plane
crashed,” Nicholas said. “I had to
release mysexi. from the chute
and fall to the ground.”
Ke saw three other parachutes
in the air and hobbled to the
plane and saw two men dead.
He said they were Airman 1/C
William Murphy, 25, Houston,
loadmaster; and Airman l/C
David Paul, 38, League City, Tex.,
a mechanic.
Nicholas was unable to pull
them away because of a hurt
leg and the plane was “still ex
ploding.” Cotton joined him and
an hour later Rangers and Cana
dian Mounted Police found them
and took them to a Whitehorse
hospital. An hour later they re
turned and, brought out Conklin.

A new type of utensil, the non
stick frying pan, offers two
major benefits to lighten the
work and worry of today’s home
(1) greaseless cooking,
clean-up.
Both these ad
ntages are
gained through
use of an unus
ual material
•lied “Teflon”
TFE-fluoro
carbon resin.
Coatings based
on this resin
, make the sur
face of a pan
so slick that
virtually no
food can stick
Hence, no fat is required
for frying. Nor do skillets need
any scraping or scouring.
Greaseless cooking on top of
the stove is great news for fam
ilies concerned about calories and
cholesterol. Having a pan with
an ultra-smooth finish—and it’s
so slippery that not even chewing
gum would stick to it—opens
new horizons in planning an al
most endless variety of fat-free
diets.
Fat-free or not, your food,
when done, slides out of the pan
and onto the plate without a
trace of burnt food or other sticky
goo in applies to
eggs, c! lulash, or
what V an !
ck,:; Y
matter of holding it under a run
ning faucet. If more cleaning is
needed, you just run in some
warm water, add a bit of deter
gent, and swish the soapy water
around with a sponge or dish
ciotn. Rinse, and you’re ready to
cook again.
Pans coated with “Teflon” are
fast becoming popular in Amer
ican kitchens, and they’re avail
able in a wide variety of styles »
and qualities. You can find them
in department
stores, drug
stores, hard
ware stores —
in fact, almost
all outlets that
handle cooking
ware. A wood
en or rubber
spatula usu
ally comes with
each pan and
is the only tool
you should use.
If you buy a
non-stick pan coated with “Tef
lon”, be sure, to follow directions
which tell you how to protect
your investment by avoiding
damage to the finish. Important
tips are: (1) don’t use steel wool
or scouring powder or pads, and
(U) don’t cut food in the pan
with a knife or other metal tools.
Meanwhile, several manufac
turers are either producing or
planning griddles, cookie sheets,
; muffin pans, and other non-stick
