Anchorage Women's Club
To Sponsor Art Show
At Fur Rendezvous
ANCHORAGE — The Anchor
age Fur Rendezvous Committee
lor 1954 has asked the Business

Anchorage to sponsor the Art
Show, which includes profession
al, amateur and schools sections,
for this year’s Rendezvous, and
the club has accepted the respon
sibility.

Club is anxious to see it grow
and de-velcflb as the Rendezvous
grows each year.
The Rendezvous and B & PW
Club are asking the cooperation
of all people in Alaska who are
interested in the cultural growth
of the Territory in making the Art
Exhibit an outstanding annual
event.
Entry blanks are available at
the Nugget Office for those wish
ing to participate.

Baby Boy Born With Two Heads
Brought Home To Live With Family
Feminine Geologist Says
Alaska Heading Into
Oil Prospecting Era
JUNEAU, UP — Alaska’s only
feminine geological engineer
thinks the territory is heading into
an oil prospecting era that is
without precedent in the north.
Mrs. Irene Ryan commented
during a visit here from Anchor
age:
“There could very well be
proved in Alaska an oil-producing
area that would rank with the
largest in North America. The
large scale prospecting slated in
the near future will provide a
great deal of the- necessary struc
tural information as yet un
known.”
She cited the filing of large
numbers of oil prospecting leases
as evidence of the growing inter
est. She said three companies now
are on the market with stock and
one near Anchorage is drilling.
London Couturier Says
Average British Woman
Is “Definitely Dumpy“
LONDON, UPl — A clothing in
dustry council reported Wednes
day the average British woman
has a 3S12 inch bust—same size
as Marilyn Monroe. End resem
blance.
Other comparative measure
ments were: height 5 feet 3 inches
against Miss Monroe’s 5 feet 6.
Weight 133 pounds against 119;
waist 26.9 inches against 24, and
hips 38.4 inches against 36.
“Definitely dumpy,” was the
verdict of a London couturier.
And he wasn’t talking about
Hollywood’s Marilyn.
Oldster Owns Ten Homes
But Can't Afford Wife
KALISPELL, Mont., W>—Wil
liam McKinely, who owns 10
homes but “never could afford a
wife,” observed his 100th birth
day Monday.
The spry, energetic oldster at
tributes his long life to giving up
tobacco and liquor 40 years ago.
He says “only two animals use
tobacco—humans and the African
goat.”
McKinely scoffs at Montana’s
current cold snap. He tells of
working for weeks in the Minne
sota woods at 40 below zero tem
peratures.
> PETERSBURG, Indian, UP)—Mr.
and Mrs. Cecil Hartley and their
three daughters settled down to
family life Tuesday with their
two-headed baby boy, home from
a hospital after five weeks.
The baby was asleep after the
122-mile ride from Riley Hospital
in Indianapolis Monday night and
his excited sisters- jumped out of
bed to play with him.
“Isn’t he cute?” cried Connie
Sue, 4. Shirley Ann, 2, looked in
silent wonder.
“Why does he have two heads?”
asked Mary Lou, 5, the only one
who had been told the baby was
not normal.
Nobody could answer.
The baby, normal below the
waist, has four arms and two legs.
Dr. J. W. Elbert, the family
physician, pronounced the baby
in good health after the arrival.
Dr. Elbert himself helped ar
range for the Hartleys to move
from their virtually inaccessible
log cabin in the woods three miles
northeast of Petersburg. He had
insisted on such a move before
the baby was brought home.
The baby had lost some weight,
but is now back to his original
10 pounds, 7 ounces.
Mrs. Hartley didn’t appear at
Riley Hospital when the infant
was released. When her husband
brought the baby to her, she said:
“Gracious, I’m glad this waiting
is over.”
She picked up the blue-blanket
ed baby from his new bassinet
and cuddled him.
“Look, Cecil,” she- said. “Donald
Ray is smiling.”
The parents had chosen two
names, Donald Ray and Daniel
Kaye, although a single birth cer
tificate was issued at Washington,
Ind., where the baby was born by
Caesarean section.
“We know that doctors say it is
impossible to tell how long our
babies can live,” Mrs. Hartley
said. “We know that most of them
like ours haven’t lived to full
maturity. We love the babies and
want to do right by them.
“I know we don’t have any
money, but we’ll do the best we
can.”
Hartley, a former coal miner,
had to miss a day’s work at the
Crane Naval Ammunition Depot
to get the baby from the hospital.
He rides 97 miles a day round trip,
to his $50-a-week laborer’s job
near Bedford. He also pays a
support allowance for two minor
children by his previous marriage.
Mrs. Hartley cooks on a coal
stove, and there are no rugs on
the living room floor.
Friends have been helping with
their laundry since their old gaso
line motor washing machine broke
down.

Anti-Trust Suit Against
A & P Food Chain
Settled By Compromise
WASHINGTON, Iff)—A compro
mise settlement of the govern
ment’s anti-trust suit against the
A & P food chain was announced
Tuesday by Atty. Gen. Brownell.
The big retail chain will not be
broken up.
The attorney general said a
consent judgement, accepted by
both the Justice Department and
the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Co., was entered yesterday in the
federal district court in New York
City before Judge Edward A.
Conger.
Brownell said the decree pro
vides that A & P must move at
once to dissolve Atlantic Commis
sion Company, its produce buying
subsidiary.
The subsidiary had been accused
of functioning in an inconsistent
dual role as a direct buyer for
A & P’s 6,000 retail stores scat
tered through 40 states, while at
the same time acting as a selling
age-nt for the A & P suppliers in
sales to the big chain’s retail
competitors.
