FIRES A giant forest flre -- raging across slx hundred thousand aeres ln Yukon Territory, Canada -- has jumped the lnternatlonal border into Alaska and threatens to Join up with another big fire near the Far North town or Chicken. 'l'he massive flre is said to be out or control partly-•inly because or the remoteness or the area, and the lack of men to fight it. Farther south in Oregon, more than six tksr9-hundred men are battling the State's worst forest fire 1n fifteen years. llong the rugged coast range west of Cottqe Grove, twenty-six thouaand acres are reported ablaze -- with a large area of southern Oregon under a pall of smoke.

IEWIS One more of the nation I r veteran newe commentators Fulton Lewie, Jr. hae departed from the scene -- at the age of eixty-three. A heart attack had followed surgery. Fulton, a big, friendly, genial man -- whose hobby had been the building and playing pipe organs, was a political conservative who, throughout his radio career conetantly opposed what he considered the socialistic tendencies of the Democratic Administration. Millions followed his broadcast-· many with almost religious fervor -- and they knew so well the words he had made so familiar as he signed off:-- "that•s the top of the news ae it looks from here." Fulton Lewie, Jr., had been on the air for eome t~nty-nine years • The air waves won't seem the eame without him. CLOCK ~merican scientists are developing a new kind of clock an expensive one, to measure time to a millionth or a second -- a unit known as a microsecond. When you get down to a m!scrosecond, thedef1n1t1on of time takes on a new significance f'or there are nearly one-hundred billion microseconds a day. Who needs such a split-second clock? Why, the National Space program, where time must be measured to the nth de g ree. Such a clock -- known as the hyarogen master -- will cost about three hundred thousand dollars -- and they say its timing would not be oflf more than one second, in thirty- thousand centuries. ICE - We've all heard the old saying about sending coal to Newcastle -- but how about this? Shipping ice to the Arctic Circle. The Soviet Newe Agency, !aee, eays dry ice is being sent to the Arctic town of Igarka where the ground is far . from be 1ng frozen the year around. In summer the tundra is even too eoft to support the buildings in Igarka. They say the dry ice le being packed into holes ln the ground to freeze the surrounding soil and give the buildings a solid base. Next will those Actic Rueek1es be welcoming the refrigerator ealesman,Warren? NUDIST ------- More tha11 tuo thousand casuall_\, dressed theatre- J!Oers flocked lo a Ir• nt1disl colony al Glen Cardne , r. New Jerse_\ , , during the weekend - lo see <1 play entitled "Bare(_\ , Proper". Th e play has lo do u ith a v ery proper English gentleman If ho was co,iverled lo nudism by his German§irl-friend. As expected, the show was a sell-out -- lying 11p traffic for miles around as the customers= --- many wearing sheepish grins - jammed the highways. ~ LTP.1966.08.22.pdf LTP.1966.08.22ii.pdf
