THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA ) of our very good friends, | Jim Jordan, is head of the town’s | Jargest bakery, and the other day he showed the members of my club through his bakery. We watched the entire process of ba ing, the slicing, and the automatic | sealing of loaves into waxed paper wrappers, and it was really fasci- nating! One of the ladies was par- | ticularly intrigued by the automa- | tic wrapping. Jim smiled . .. he gaid nearly everyone enjoyed watching that operation but then asked us if we knew the interest- ing story behind the wrapper. [ He began by telling us that the | paper used to make waxed paper is made of choice slow - growing spruce trees, grown in Canada and the northern states. Because of the cold northern winters, he explained, the spruce trees mature slowly, giving added length and strength to their fiber, and consequently, provides better protection for bread. The trees are usually cut during winter and sent down the river to pulp mills in the spring. At the mill, the bark is removed and the wood whittled into small | chemicals. We all laughed when Jim said the entire cooking process was like making apple- sauce! ? After “cooking”, the” waste is | dradned away and the chemically treated pure wood pulp is fed into a huge paper making machine — RUMOR INVOLVES U. 5. CONSUL IN CHINA INCIDENT MOSCOW, June 17.—(P—A Prav- da dispatch said today there was a rumor in Shanghai that J. Hall Paxton, U. S. Consul in Tihwa, “prepared and organized” the inci- | dent involving Chinese and Mon- | golian frontier detachments June 5. | The Communist Party newspaper | termed this incident * a violation of the horder of the Mongolian People's Republic.” (The Chinese Central News Agency declared Mon- golian troops invaded Sinkiang Pro- vince, with the aid of warplanes bearing Soviet markings). The Pravda dispatch said travel- ers from Sinkiang reported that | Paxton visited the frontier between Russia, the Mongolian People's Re- public and China in April at the instruction of Gen. Dwight D. Eis- enhower and photographed the area “They (the travelers) sa the Pravda correspondent wrote, “that Paxton has exhibited a special in- terest in recent months in the frontier districts.” ALASKA COASTAL FLIES ON MONDAY Alaska Coastal made regular flights to scutheast ports of call with the following passengers: From Skagway to Juneau, Esther Whalen, Rae Peterson, George Pe- terson, Rese Sylvia, Gertrude Mil- The machine re-wets the pulp fib- 4 ers, then mats them together in a | . sheet.

Think of the millions and millions of dollars that go into the making of waxed paper! Yet, we get the | complete protection it affords in keeping our bread fresh and tasty for just a fraction of a cent a loaf. BULLETINS Chatham to Juneau, O. Berg- S AT seth.
