Propose Unifying Agricultural
 Research in Alaska

FAIRBANKS, (P)-A move to unify agricultural research in Alaska under single program was disclosed here in an announce ment by U. s. department of ag- riculture officials.
 P. V. Vardon, department re- search administrator, said the plan has been under discussion in se- ries of conferences held since Jan. 12 between representatives of the department and the University of Alaska.
 It was noted here this would represent a change in the present system under which the agricul- tur department has been doing ex- pertinent work with federal funds while the university conducted a separate program financal by the Territorial budget.
 The present law, which turned Alaska experiment stations over to ne department of agriculture, passed the 60th Congress and re- mains in effect un.il next June 30. The proposed joint program thus would mean a return of farm ex- pertinent work to the university under an agreement with federal officials.
 President Truman's budget con- tains a total of O675, ,OOO of federal funds for agriculture experiments in Alaska. It also contains S66,0O0 for a proposed federal grant for university agriculture experiment stations.
 The proposed Territorial budget for the next biennium proposes the expenditure of S9l0,000 for uni versity agriculture work.
 A plan to make these funds available 10 finance proposed joint program now Is under considera- tion.
 Two other agriculture depart nent officials took part in the dis cussions-S. B. Fracker, research coordinator, and F.. C. Biting, as- sociated chief of the office of ex- pertinent stations.

The History Of Time
tBY Doc" Thompson

The worlds oldest timepiece is the earth, dividing a period of time into two parts, known to primitive man as light and dark ness. Even today, earth, spinning through space, is the master clock by which all man-made clocks are set.
 Marked passage of time at night and on cloudy days most likely was achieved by the caveman by use of a burning rope of vines knotted at regular intervals. The Great Pyramids of Egypt, by cast ing their shadows on the sands. denoted the passage of time 5000 years ago. Over 4,000 years ago Hwangti Yellow, emperor of China, made the first water clock. Consisting of a pierced brass bowl floating in a large basin of water, the hours were calculated by the length of time it took the bowl to submerge. A slave attendant set the bowl floating again and mark ed the passage of time by striking a huge gong.
 The ancient Babylonians de- vised a time-keeping system by the stars, dividing heir day into l2 equal parts, each period mark ed by cluster of stars in which they saw imaginary forms O. local dietieS. But the sun dial remained for many yeras the outstanding time piece in the Holy Land, and is mentioned several times in the Bible.
 Tn 760 A.D., history mentions clock for the first time. It was given to the King. of France by Pope Paul First. However, it was not until the latter part of the 18th century that our present day time piece was devised. Peter Heinlein, a poor Nuremburg lockmaker was the first to construct a spring driven clock.
 The first spring-driven time piece appeared in Nuremburg abou: l2 years before Columbus set out on his famous voyage, made almost entirely of iron. These clocks were so heavy they nceSssi- ta ed a bearer who consulted the dial and spoke the time when asked by his master.
 By 1885, pocket-size watches were being made, although their distribution was only among the wealthier classes. The minute hand gave watches new and practical importance. Doc ors were quick to see its value.
 Dr. Robert Hooke of England in-
The Nome nugget., 1949-01-28

vented the balance spring in 1885, from which time watches improv- cd rapidly in quality. In America, wa; chmaking gained foothold in 1909 when Luther Goddrad opened a factory in ShreWsburg, Mass.
 Americans can well be proud of the ancestry behind the American watch.

 Fishermen are going to ask things from the legislature and l think they will be willing to bear their share. The argument of fish ermen'S feeling has been over played"
 Taylor challenged:
 If we have fishermen who would register boats outside to eS- cape a bit of tax, we ought to let them go."
 The Senate fisheries committee has returned a Do Pass" recom- mendation on a memorial by Sen. Ed Anderson, Nome Democrat, urging the federal fish and wild life service to premit salmon fish ing in the Boring Sea north of Bristol Bay.
 A Senate transportation com mittee majority has recommended passage of Sen. Frank Barr's bill to qualify non-military airports for federal aid.
 The House passed again today tWenty-three to one the bill to quadruple fish trap taxes and put an extra charge per fish for traps with heavy catches. The same bill was passed during the special ses- sion but died in the Senate. The tax ranges from $500 for hand driven or stake tax to S2,000 for each trap above fifty for single operator. The only vote against the bill was James Nolan, Wran- 9ell Democrat.
 The Senate passed under Sus- pension of rules yesterday a joint resolution instructing the public welfare department to discontinue the Maynard Columbus hospitali- zation of Axel Werner. The Senate acted speedily on the resolution by Jones of Nome, that Werner was sufficiently recovered and doesn't need disqualification. Permanent disqualification was authorized un- der Jones' resolution last session.

 Rep. Taylor suggested mention of Anderson should be omitted be- cause the miners association com munication earlier explained that the organization had not filed for the reason Anderson drew only the regular salary as secretary plus living allowance during the ses- sion and didn't think association filing was required.
 The Senate received two bills, one resolution and one memorial.
 The major bill would appropri- ate $7,500 for public welfare re- lief for the biennium ending Mar. 31. The memorial, introduced by Barr and McCutcheon, requests that civil aeronautics board control over small commercial aircraft in Alaska be abolished or greatly limited"
 The property tax bill in the spe- cial session passed the House with only three negative votes, but died in the Senate.
 Vating against it yesterday were Democrats Franklin, Hope, Jensen, Rydeen and Taylor and Republi- cans Miscovich and F rank l.. Johnson of Nome Taylor argued vigorously against critics of the bill during debate - although he said he thought the personal prop erty exemption should be only $200-but on the final vote he said i Nay" Johnson and Ipalook of Nome asked for higher exemp- tionS.
 The main controversy was over what exemptions should be all lowed.
 Jensen said passage Twill hit many people who can't pay and will make the Territory look like second hand store with many properties on the auction block"
 He also argued it would deter new industries, with special refer ence to proposed Southeastern Alaska pulp mills.
 Taylor asked Jensen and Glen Franklin, Fairbanks Democrat, who also opposed the bill: Does any community become exempt from property tax payments be- cause of inability to pay? It is based on the possession of world ly goods"
 Franklin declared i've can raise as much by adding five or six per- cent to the income tax. That would be on ability 70 pay and bring no squaWis. This is aimed at big in dustries but will drive down the little fellow with them"

Israel, is not a rabbi as reported

We have already become so
stepped in the new atmosphere
that we have to remind ourselves,
on special days, of the great sig
nificance of the fact that, during
this last year, the integration of
immigrants in great numbers has
become an everyday worry, in
stead of far off contingency
which would be dealt with in due
time when the fight for the open
ing of the gates to our brethren
is won.
Even the erstwhile romance of
settling on the land is disappear
ing, and pioneers must learn to
do without the cherished thrill of
evading the watchful eyes of an
administration intent on enforc-
ing restrictions on Jewish settle
ments.
Quantity has become the watch
word, as the quality of our en-
deavor is already so well estab-
lished that it has become a mat

BLACK SEA COAST-This is
Russia's Riviera-more than 200
miles of it from Tuapse to Batumi
near the Turkish frontier.
Travelling from Moscow our
train entered the coastal region
at Tuapse, after cutting through
the Caucasian Mountains from
the city of Armavir.
I have travelled from the White
Sea to the Black from the
Danube to the Bering Strait .
from the Caspian Sea to the Gulf
of Finland all in Russia.
have never seen anything to equal
this in climate and scenery.
The sky is cobalt blue. The sun
is beating down with a summer
warmth The vegetation is mag
nificent-palms, palmettoes, mag
nolias, banana trees, lemon trees,
orange trees, tangerines. Then
there are the mountain streams
and the beaches.
Like Rockies at Denver.
Over to the left are the lofty,
impressive, and snoW-capped
mountains. They look as the
Rockies do around Denver. Here
to your right is the Black Sea,
which today is very green.
At Tuapse we got out of the
train in overcoats, felt the SUN
and then shed the coats and be-
gan to walk about and buy tange-
rines and eat them on the spot.
From Tuapse the train rolled
right out to the edge of the sea-
From the door of our car I could
pitch an orange into the water.
After TuapSe we came to
Shepsy. Here are beautiful estates
with beaches and near the River
Shepsy. 1t adjoins the sea- over
a distance of about 1900 yards
stretching far back from the
shore.
At Ashe there are numerous rest
homes of rare beauty. The mag
nolias are especially striking-just
like the ones down in Alabama,
Georgia and Mississippi.
Further on is LaZarevskaya
where the River Psezuape falls
into the sea. Years ago in the
wars with the Circassians it was a
military fortress.
Next we came to Loo on the
River Loo, with the ruins of q
Byzantine church.
Still going south along the quiet

lsea we passed through little
Dagomyss-the former estate of
the Tsars.
Then there came Sochi, prob
ably the most popular of the
health resorts along the Black Sea
coast. In addition to all the other
SUBJ tropical stuff here you find
bamboo and lotus.
Dozens of health resorts are To-
Gated here. Thousands of Soviet
citizens come to Sochi every
spring, summer and autumn fo1
their vacations.
Here there is bathing of every
kind. Any kind of suits go. and
it seems to be the briefer the
better. You can even bathe and
sun bathe without suits. But if
you're going to do this, you have
to stick to areas set aside for this
purpose.
Mountain Panorama Impressive.
From Sochi the railway runs to
Adler, parallel to a fine hard-sur-
faced highway.
Just couple of miles distant is
Matzesta, a health resort with
powerful medicinal springs three
kilometerS from the sea. This is q

The mountain panoramas be-
came more impressive. Everywhere
were rocks, woods, luxurious plants
and early flowers.
Then we came to Gagri, situated
on a narrow plain adjoining the
sea-. The entire coast is covered by
fine park about five kilometers
long.

SINCE SPRING IS NOW OH
cially here, perhaps we can men
ton flowers without fear Of .
capricious Spring snowfall. But
Washington weather being what
it Is, we're not always sure.
Anyway, the flowers we want to
tell you about today are cut
fiowers-and they're well pro-
tected at Thomas & Slye's stand
In the back of the Market.
II you're on the search for q
touch of Spring, come see this
stand. You'll find pink, white and
red carnations; snapdragons;
stock; German iris; roses, and
cut flowers Of every description.
This stand has plenty Of laurel
and rhododendron leaves for
that bit of greenery, too.
Let us hope that you don't have
anyone in the hospital, but If
you do have a friend ON the
"sick list" Thomas 81 Slye will
fix you up a hospital vase that
will chase all thoughts Of sick
ness from the room.
Thomes & Slye have been for
lists to Washington since the gay
90's," and they used to be located
down at the old Center Market.
Today, their stand at Center
Market City, No. $50, is one of
the Markets buster ones.
EVERYWHERE WE GO, we're
reminded of Pyramid Clubs.
Since we aren't members of one,
we can't carry on a social con-
versation anymore. We've even
noticed that the word pops into
conversations carried on In
French, Italian and Spanish.
Seeking an escape from the
Pyramids, we went to the Market
yesterday. Wandering through
the rows of fruit and vegetable
stands, imagine our chargrin at
finding produce stacked in guess
what2-PYRAMIDS! See where
our imagination has led us!
After a bit of conversation with
Henry Fleisher, who owns stand
No. 1875, we got our mind off of
Pyramids, and back on to fruits
and vegetables.
Here's what we found at this
stand: Old-time Winesap apples
for eating,-juicy, bits of brilliant
redness; Cauliflower and broccoli,
and Brussel sprouts from Calf
ornia.
Henry has both watercress
and upland cress for Spring
salads and garnishing. Cucum-
bers and Spring onions can be
found at this stand. too. And
those little hot peppers that add
so much to certain dishes are
also at Henry's stand.
Henry is well prepared to give
you ideas for vegetable dinners
and Spring salads.
SHAD-SeenS the Shad season
gets better and better. Shad has
been coming in small amounts,
but now the supply is picking
up. Most of it comes from North
Carolina, but some has been COM
ing in from the Bay.
Rockfish is getting a bit cheap
er than it was. And for house
wives who have to think of Lent
en- dishes, we recommend a good
old baked Red Snapper. One
friend of ours has Red Snapper
for breakfast-she fries it and
serves 1t with grits. She, natur-
ally, is a Southener.
