NAVY FLIERS VICTIMS OF LATEST AIR DISASTER ON

WEST COAST

.¶ SAN DIEGO. Calif., Jan 6 -(UP) —When five navy airmen bailed out of a 13-ton bomber Thursday night rather than take their chances on a plane bucking a snowstorm with iceladen wings, their numbers were up.

They were doomed.

.¶ Thus aviators at the navy's San Diego base explained today the deaths of four men who chose their parachutes over west Texas, and were killed Saturday night with seven other officers and men when the

She told the class that she hoped her son was safe, that “I am a Christian woman. I commit my son to the care of God and whatevei hap-

A little later the navy telegraphed

EXTRA SMOKES

\ r I-S, the smoke’s the thing! After 1 all, you don't get anything from a cigarette until you’ve lighted it... until it's burning. And there is the set ret of an advantage Camel smokers have enjoyed for years. For Camel's costlier tobaccos are slower-burning. Slower-burning for more coolness and du Li ness — fur Camels arc free from the excess heat and irritating qualities of too-fast burning. Slower-burning for more flavor because slow burning preserves tobacco flavor and fragrance.

Now Science confirms still another advantage — Camel's slower burning means less nicotine in the smoke — less than any of the four other largest-selling brands tested ... 28% less than the average! Yes, when you measure the pleasure of a cigarette... the smoke's the thing. Make Camels your steady smoke and enjoy all the advantages that only Camel’s slow er burning... costlier tobaccos cun give. There’s even an economy advantage (see left). R J R-ynoldiTobarroCompany. Wln*ton-Rt1em. North CtrolliMI
