She conducts two types of river tours. Parties of between 10 and 12 persons are taken for one to three weeks of shooting the rapids in three 17-foot long, and sturdy, nylon boats, usually lashed together. Between 25

Moon Pictures Scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) which controlled the Ranger flight, said many small craters never viewed before were seen on the floor of Alphonsus. Also it showd what appeared as a jagged crack on the floor of the crater. “It was go from launch to impact, on schedule,” a JPL technician exclaimed. The most complete series of I the moon ever taken will aid future manned moon flights to the lunar surface. The first picture to be flashed on home screens in stereopticon fashion appeared to be clear. It showed a large crater and two smaller craters toward the lower bottom of the picture. Crater Alphonsus, was in the lower left hand corner. More than 500 square miles of the highlands of the moon were covered by the first sequence of pictures, with the field gradually narrowing as Ranger raced in to impact. Scientists at JPL described the pictures as of “excellent quality,” and scanning well.

Predict Boom In Building RICHMOND, Va. UPI — Tidewater Virginia is a new entry in the “megalopolis” sweepstakes which envisions a I single city over such extended areas as Boston-New YorkWashington. The entire peninsula between the York and the James Rivers, from Richmond to the sea, will be a single continuous city by 1975, Governor Albertis S. Harrison Jr. told a recent gathering of the New York Southern Society. The state’s population will double in that decade. The home-building boom which will be set off by what growth is sparked by an industrial expansion that sees the opening of one new plant, or one major factory addition, in the state every two-and-a-half days. Tidewater growth is anchored at the south end by the bustling Hampton Roads seaports, with new traffic from the mid- : die west resulting from more
Threat Issued By Viet Congs SAIGON UPI — The Communist Viet Cong threatened today to bring “hundreds of millions” of Asians into Viet Nam if the U. S. air raids continue against the north. It said the foreign troops would “wipe out and bury” Americans. Even as the Communists were broadcasting their threat South Vietnamese planes with U. S. Air Force jet fighter cover attacked military targets in the north for the fourth consecutive day. The principal target was a radar station near Dong Hoi. The U. S. jets hit anti-aircraft | positions. The Soviet news agency Tass said American jets bombed and strafed the western part of Quang Bin Province and the Vinh Lin district just north of the 17th parallel. It claimed three American planes were shot down and said this was a total of 63 since the attacks be- : gan. No planes were reported lost I today and the Communist report appeared to be an exaggeration. The Viet Cong statement said the Communists were innocent of any wrongdoing in South Viet Nam and blamed the fighting on “American aggression." It said the Americans were losing but it said if U. S. raids continue the Viet Cong will bring in foreign troops and arms. The Communists were vague as to identifying the foreign troops but the statement was broadcast one day after the Soviets reported many “volunteers” had expressed eagerness to serve in Viet Nam. The Chinese in the past have hinted that some volunteers might aid the Viet Cong.
Aim of that meeting will be to advise families who will be dislocated through inner - city highway construction. Mrs. Coney’s portion of the program will concern “how to be a good neighbor when you move.” The 10 rules, somewhat abbreviated, are: —Keep your property neat and attractive. —Conduct yourself in a quiet and dignified manner. —Be well-groomed. Relaxed living does not mean sloppy attire. —Respect the property of your neighbors. —Keep noise at a minimum. Radios, televisions and family arguments should never be loud enough to be heard outside the house. —Do not encourage street loitering. —Be alert to conditions which, if continued, could ruin e. neighborhood. —Don’t be a horn-honker. —Instruct your children in neighborhood responsibility. —Be a responsible citizen

school work. The members of the Forum at a recent meeting heard Prof. Lettie Galloway of Tennessee State University’s sociology department advise them that their aims, while good, may be difficult to achieve because of a personal ingredient usually termtd “motivation." “If you know how to put motivation into people, you will be invited to Washington,” she told them. “It is impossible to say any one factor is responsible for lack of motivation. You can’t say that the reason some people are lous and boisterous is because they came from poor homes. Some come from nice homes.” Dr. Galloway suggested the Forum not spend “too much time on tea and cookies” but more in identifying problem areas and getting citizens of all levels interested in solving the
problems.
Mrs. Frank Beckwith, one of the Forum’s project chairmen, noted that the new organization represents an effort “to give something away before you get

It’s nothing short of magic what you can do with a simple dessert and a package of frozen mixed fruit. This happy com* bination of 6 fruits includes white grapes, dark sweet and red sour cherries, sliced peaches, red raspberries and boysenberries.
