Hundreds of rivermen visited her home, bringing curios fiom all over the world. Among hei’ treasures was a pilot license granted Mark Twain April 9, 1859. For two weeks Elsie had been ill in the hospital. Before she died she asked that her body he cremated and the ashes strewn down the river.

Army Rules On 18-Year Olds
WASHINGTON, June 1 — (UP) The Army has put into effect a cor.fressional mandate requiring all replacements under 19 years of age to have a minimum of six montns’ training be- • re entering combat by extending and expanding the training program insofar as it applies to these men. The first step to extend replacement training was taken immediately after V-E Day when the period for individual training at Infantry replacement traing centers was restored to 18 weeks. The Infantry training period had been, reduced from 17 to 15 weeks shortly after the Germans attacked in the Ardennes last December. In addition to the restored 17 week basic training, all arms are now initiating a nine weeks course of advanced replacement training for all replacements unr der 19 which will give them a total of 26 weeks of training as replacements, plus furlough
time, before they are sent to replaosment depots subject to shipment overseas. These advanced courses will stress unit training similar to that received In the final two weeks of the bivouac period of the original 17 weeks training.

civilians the rest of this year. A United Press survey based on government and private sources show that pork and beef will be luxuries. Chicken will be only a little more abundant. Sugar wii be available only for necessary uses- such as sweeten coffee, tea and cereals. And butter is rapidly approaching the
status of a museum piece.
Chicken to some extent will help alleviate the meat shortage. But the Farm Bureau Federation said chicken raisers can’t get enough feed. The federation said the government would not giant needed manpower proior-
ities to feed producers.
Main items on the family table, the government reported, will be: eggs, fluid milk, skim milk by-products, fresh and frozen fish, and grain products with the exception of rice in some
areas.
Add to these items fresh vegetables from truck farms and victory gardens and the nation will find a well-balanced, of plain, diet.
