No Relief in Sight for Valley's Terrific Heat
Beaches and Parks Get Record Crowds
By 8HELDON C. WINTEBMUTE
Keep the electric fan oiled, the liquid refreshment stock replenished and the wardrobe to a minimum because more, of the same sizzling heat that has had Wyoming Valley sag- j ging for a week is predicted for today. And, the weather^ man tells us, it won't do a'bit of good to jump in your car, to try and escape it all. The sticky, stifling hept will sit heavily on the entire eastern half of the nation.
Beaches and parks in Luzeme county reported "jams" yesterday, but perspiring managers fairly beamed as they predicted that business today would be "terrific, brother, terrific."

25-Year-Olds Start By Signing Tomorrow; 4,000 Boards Ready
WaahinKton. Aug. 28 (UP)—Mil¬ lions of America's youth will begin trooping io registration centers Monday to sign up for peacetime military service.
The 20,(X)0 registration centers were set to handle some 9,600.(XX) young; men 18 through 25 who are ri>qulrcd to register under the 1B48 .¦¦riective service act.
Only a small fraction of those I' ho register will be called up. The ' iA->?ar-olds won't be called until 'iipv are 19. Others--including hus¬ bands, fathers, farm workers and most veterans-won't be Inducted. Start* Tomorrow
.National selective service head¬ quarters said tonight that all the 4.000 state and territorioJ draft- boards are set for business. Regis¬ tration starts Monday with the 28- ypar-olds. It ends Sept 18, ¦*hen th? youngest age group signs up.

Actual Inductions probably will not begin until November. All those tnl<en then--an estimated 10,000— w.ll go to the Army, which will c»',l up about 2.^0,000 In the next yesr to bring its strength to 790,- nno omcers and men. Ikater, the Ariry expects to draft 30,000 a nionlh.
Tlie other services, the Air Force RTiri the Navy, hope to keep up to authorized strength through volun- t«ry enlistments. But If that meth¬ od fails, they can draw on selective f^rvice to get their men.

Dredging of Schuylkill Will Start in 10 Days
At Harvejr's I^eke veteran cot¬ tagers and all-year residents re¬ ported without qualification that more persons took advantage ot the lake's cool water yesterday than at any time in the last 10 years, at least Harvey's Lake police were in agreement with this statement. They said automobile traffic was not heavy during the entire day — there being times when It was too hot to drive.
For   the   steaming   suburbanites and cooked city-dwellers who like statistics    with    their    sweltering, here Is some blistering data. Started  Wednesday—Officially
The heat wave officially opened Wednesday, but reached its high¬ est mark at 8:29 p. m. on Thurs¬ day when the mercury climbed to 98.4 degrees — Just 37.6 degrees below the hottest recorded day the world has known. That was In 1922
when a temperature of 138 degrees was checked in the midst of tlie Sahara Desert sands In Libya.
Highest official readings yester¬ day and Friday were 94 degrees.
We don't want to be gloomy, but the weather bureau can't see any break in view for the next three days and when asked to give an estimate on possible high tempera

Chicago, Aug. 28 (UP)—The giant flying boat Caroline Mars landed In Lake Michigan at 11:2,"! a. m (1:25 p. m. BDT) today after a non-stop flight from Honolulu which ci tablished two new records.

have already been slg:ned for work on the river Improvement project
Work on two of the contracts, one for core borings and the other for the demolition of flve old dams near Port Clinton and Hamburg, has  been completed.
Plans call for the construction of 23 Impounding dams between the Berks-Schuylklll county line and Norristown. Silt and culm washed down the river will be imprisoned by the dams and pumped Into nu¬ merous impounding basins located along the Schuylkill. Mines Co-operating
McCawley praised anthracite op¬ erators, w)>ose breakers are located on the river and Its tributaries, for their co-operation In halting the flow of waste Into the river.
"Thers is little or no new culm or silt entering the Schuylkill now," McCawley said. "But It wiU be a tremendous Job to remove what has lodged there in the last 100 years."
Bulldozers are now removing the silt and mud that has accumulated on the banks of the river. The culm Is being pushed into the river bed where It can be withdrawn by dredges. The state hopes to re¬ claim part of the cost of the pro¬ ject through sale of the culm to processors.
McCawley    said    areas    around

The state hopes to flnish its part of the Schuylkill clean-up by the end of 1951. The Commonwealth is responsible for cleaning, dredg¬ ing and rehabilitating the river basin to Norristown.
Army Engineers will begin the task of removing culm deposits from Norristown to the Falrmoimt Park dam in Philadelphia some time the same year. They hope to complete the job within a year.
Officials estimate the cost of the project when completed will be about $35,000,000.
FIVE DIE. ONE HURT IN TRUCK-AUTO CRASH
Pocatello, Ida, Aug. 28 (UP) Five persons were killed and one was critically injured tn a truck- automobile collision todagr, O>roner Arthur W. Hall reported .
Hall said the accident occurred five miles south of here. He said the six people could not be identi¬ fied "because everything Is so badly smashed up."
The six persons riding In the automobile were all from Salt Lake City, however, Hall said. He said a pur.se found In the car had the name "Mrs. Josepih Morrison, Salt Lake City," Inscribed in it.
David Arnold of Pocatello, who drove by the scene a short time after the accident, said that "one of the persons, a boy of about 18 years old, was thrown clear through the windshield, and others were badly mangled,"

He Isn't the only farmer com¬ plaining. Carloads of fresh vege¬ tables are being thrown away daily at Cleveland, Pittsburgh and other cities because of the condition of the market. Women  Not Canning
Housewives are not canning and this Is attributed to the heat. Many are away at the lakes and resorts, leaving home chores undone.
Farmers hauling bumper crops to the markets find no buyers and in some Instances have dumped the stuff along the highways.
With Farmer Bobbin it was a question of shipping produce rut and getting nothing In return. He figured on saving money by not sending his cabbage to market. He'd be better off giving it away.
But thc people of Nanticoke and vicinity were definitely not inter¬ ested and this explains why he still faaj 39,000 heads on his bands.
No deaths induced by the stifling heat were reported in tho valley area, but the heat wave death toll for the eastern half of the nation passed the 100 mark.
Hospitals reported two persons treated for heat exhaustion. Ed¬ ward Smith, 45, of 232 Old River road, was admited to Mercy Hos¬ pital for observation, but the other heat victim, Luther Busch, 46, of 260 South Main atreet, was re¬ leased after treatment at Homeo¬ pathic HospitaL
In both Instances, the men were removed to hospitals in the city ambulance by patrolmen Joseph Zelinski and Stephen Lawryk.

Athena, Greece, Aug. 28. (UP) — The Greek army high command will be shaken up l>€cause large groups of guerrillas in the Mt. CIramnios sector slipped through the army's trap and escaped to Al¬ bania. Lt. Gen. James A. Van Fleet, chief of American military mission to Greece,  said  today.
He said Maj. Gen." Demetrios Liaos, commander of the 15th Divi¬ sion, will be removed as a first step. The division failed to close the gap in the army's pincers along the Albanian border. Van Fleet said 6,000 rebels escaped as a result
Several les.scr officers also will ba shifted, van Fleet said. Lt Gen, Panos Kalogcropoulos, commander of the Second Corps, was removed several weeks ago because he waa "too defense-minded."
Van Fleet said the Mt Grammot guerrillas fled in such panls and abandoned so much equipment thejf could  not  fight again Immediately.
