Three Volcanoes In Alaska Erupting Part Os Alaska Is Plunged Into Dark ANCHOKS3E, Alaska UP — Ash and dust from three erupting volcanoes plunged 20,000 square miles of Western Alaska into darkness today, disrupting communications and possiibly endangering the lives of 100 persons in a remote turning village. The volcanoes began erupting early Thursday sending clouds or hot ashes falling like black snow over a'vast area. The explosions were the most severe in more than 40 years. - The volcanic dust completely •blacked out Anchorage, a city of 50,000, for several hours. - Fears were expressed for the safety of 100 residents of the fishing village of Tyonek, about 50 miles southwest of Anchorage. There were unconfirmed reports the village was in the path of a huge cloud of hot ashes. However, there were no reports of a lava flow.

The three volcanoes were -MU Spurr, a 11,069400 t peak, <Mt. Tobert, a 10,600-foot peak, and an unidentified mountain. They sent their curtain ot ashes and smoke as high as 50,000 feet into the air. All air* traffic to and from the volcano area was suspended. The civil aeronautics authority warned pilots that engine failures might occur if their engines become covered with dust. Officials of the Alaska native service were trying to establish radio contact with Tyonek, but the dust completely disrupted communications. — — House Group Favors Theater Tax Repeal WASHINGTON, UP—The house ways and means committee today' voted, 22 to 3, to repeal the 20 percent federal tax on movie theater admissions.

MIL • _ Scripture: Romans 8:1-14? IX Devotional Reading: Psalm S2:ft-IX . Christian's Code - Lesson for July 12, 1953 THE Christian is mot “under law,” as Paul says, but “under grace,” This does not mean that a Christian can live as he pleases, any old. way good or bad. There is a code of behavior for Chris* tlans. Only the Christian’s code is not like a city’s laws or the rules of a game. The nearest thing we have to a code is certain great principles of behavior,

the foundationlines for our house of life. One of the ' most familiar chapters of the Whole Bible is Romans 12, where Paul sets down in pretty plain words what kind of behavior may be expected of a Christian. The passage

is so familiar, in fact, that it can too easily be read with the eyes only and not with the mind. So this column will) depart from its usual method, and simply present, for the most part, some of the important sentences or phrases from this Classic chapter, first in the old King James translation and then in various other more recent ones in English. They will be numbered as follows: 1 King James translation (1611 A. D.) 2 Revised Standard Version (1946) 3 Moffatt’s translation (1922) 4 American Translation (1923) 5 Weymouth’s (1930) 6 Phillips’s (1947) (“Letters to Y.oung Churches”) (Where a number does not appear, it is because that version is not notably different from some of the others.) These translations will perhaps suggest to the thoughtful reader that there is more In Scripture than any one translation can fully bring out 1. Present your bodies a living sacrifice . . . your reasonable service. 2. — your spiritual worship. 4. — your rational worship. & —an act of intelligent worship, (verse 1) 1.

Police Crack Down On Dope Peddlers 500 Addicts Found At State Capital rNDPANAPOOS UP — Police said today a crackdown on dope peddlers will follow their si<month investigation which showed an j estimated SQO addicts in the city. * Officers said a dozen addicts and peddlers already have been roynded up and four local doctors loti their narcotics certificates during a check on dope traffic by four detectiyes. J ■Detective Anthony Watkins said two of thg four had previous “trouble with the police” and one had issued 37 narcotics prescriptions in one day. All were redeemed at the same drug store, he said. Th e investigatfhg team discounted the possibility a syndicate wa---operating the city’s traffic. They said traffic centered in one small nearrdowntown area but was not confined to that section. “We’re out to. make it tough for the peddlers," Watkins said. He said a roundup of independently operating peddlers, which would slow traffic almost to a standstill, would be a better answer to the addiction problem than direct acion against addicts themselves. He said raids cut th© supply of heroin and other drugs, but morphine, dolphine and dilaudld obtained with fraudulent medical prescriptions were the "biggest headache.” If you nave sometning w sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat j Want Add.
