Elmi ra and Chemung County's Defense Council is one jump ahead of the New York State Evacuat ion Committee which is obtaining in­formation from upsta te counties on accommodations for evacuees in time of major disaster in metro­politan areas.

Although Eltnira hasn't been called on as yet to provide this in­formation to Gov. Herber t H. Leh­man 's Evacuat ion Committee, facts and figures are available from four or five housing surveys made ia the past for other purposes.

In view of this no local volun­teer corps of workers will make a house-to-house canvas. This work is being done in 15 upstate coun­ties. The plan will provide infor­mation as to where women and children, the aged and infirm can he moved should New York or oth­er large cities in the state experi­ence actual warfare.

More than 400,000 survey report forms already have been distribut­ed for u s e among the 8,000 volun­teer workers in upstate counties. Commissioner Edward Weinfeld, said today. Mr. Weinfeld, who heads the State Division of Hous­ing on the governor's committee, reports splendid co-operation from upstate counties.

Washington (UP) The Vanish­ing American is no longer vanish­ing

John Collier. Commissioner of Indian Affairs, has cited population figures showing that. Indians in this country are increasing faster than general population and that Indians in the Western Hemi­sphere now total 30 million.

In Columbus' time, he noted. there were approximately 900.000 Indians in this country. This number subsequently was cut al­most one fourth by >v:iis, famine, disease, removal and it was be­lieved the Indian was a dying race. Today. ho. \e \er . Indian popula­tion has grown to more than 361,-M-'X* of whieh almost half are full-bloods.

The increase, he said, is due to "steadily improving health and economic. conditions 1 a r g e 1 y brought about by an intelligent national interest in Indian prob­lems

difference when you start using LAVA

SOAP.

In 20 to 50 seconds that super-fine

cleaner of LAVA'S gets in deep and routs

Fast but genth ! And here's the amazing thing. Touch

the good gray LAVA bar and it seems rough. But there's no trace of roughness

in that snow-white foam of lather. It's smooth as cream.

use it even on Mother's face — to remove

all make-up and give a fresh, wholesome
