CONSERVATION
 NOTES
By Lew Hanks

Last week was Farm Safety Week. Now is good time to take a look around. One of the fore most hazards on a farm is that of fire. Check your fire hazards now and eliminate them. Clear out the dry grass and brush close to buildings. Check your wiring system. Get rid O. all the hayWire and drop-cord wiring you've done the past year.
 Give the pennies in the fuse box to the kids and take the matchsticks out from under the breakers. It's easy enough to burn up a building without asking for 1t.
 Check your ladder for loose steps. Then keep it handy for emergency use if necessary. Look over your farm machinery. Have you got it all booby trapped by tearing off the safety guards? Put them back on. Farming is hard enough work without trying to

NEW TYPE HEAD
 LETTUCE AVAILABLE TO GROWERS NEXT YEAR

Alaska" seed, a new head let tuce variety well adapted to the Territory's growing conditions, will be available next year, ac- cording to the staff of the horti- culture department of the Univer- sity of Alaska Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station.
 Dr. M. F. Babb, chief horticul- turist, described the new variety as a large, dark green, late ma turing, slow bolting, tip-burn and authracnose resistant head let tuce. The heads are firm and have good wrapper leaves, but are somewhat exposed on top.
 This strain has been under trial in Alaska during the past five years and has given outstanding results in the Matanuska Valley.
 While the Alaska" seed is not available from either the Agricul- tl1ral Experiment Station or from the Extension Service, it should be in ample supply at commercial seed houses next year.

FARM EXCHANGE
 YOUTH FROM FIM AND TO VISIT IN VALLEY

30 Larson, farm youth from Finland, will arrive in Alaska in early June to spend three months as a guest in various farm homes under the International Farm Youth Exchange program, Lynn o. Hollist, associate director of the Agricultural Extension Ser vice, said.
 The 22-year-old youths home is ia Lovisa which is near Helsin- ki and in about the same latitude as Anchorage He is junior at the University of Helsinki where he is majoring in agriculture. From 1943 until 1947 Larson was . All club member and carried out his projects on the home farm. Cereal grains, cattle and forestry are the principal forms of agricul- tu1e on the Larsson's 550-acre farm.
 After a brief welcome in Wash ington, D. C., Larson will fly di- rectly to Fairbanks where he will observe and work on farms in the Panama Valley. Current plans also include about month in the Matanuska Valley and some time in Southeastern Alaska.
 While part or the EYE dele gates travel expenses are paid to this country, Alaskans are asked to Fay travel within the Territory and provide a certain amount of spending money. EYE delegates from abroad are permitted to take only a limited amount of money with them when they leave their homeland. This sum is inadequate to cover expenses of six months in the states. One way the foreign delegates earn their expenses is to speak before American organi- zations which pay S5 to S10 for each talk.
 During Larsson's visit in the Territory he will do some farm work in line with the learn-by- doirg policy of the National All Club Foundation, the EYE spon- so-. However, the delegate is

INFORMATION CENTER
THERE OUGHT TO be, especial

THERE OUGHT TO be, especially in New York, g
Virgin Islands information center which could furnish prac-
caHy all information on these Islands and its people. With
approximately 5000 Virgin Islanders in New York and other
large cities on the mainland, there ought to be a central point
where information can be given and received.
DURING THE COURSE4of a year the travel back and
forth is tremendous. Many Islanders reach New York, and
while they~are taken care of by their friends and relatives,
and frequently news gets about, yet the absence OF a central
point makes itself felt time and time again. There are, for
example, many Virgin islanders residing out Of New York
City, who, upon reaching the big city miss many an impor-
tant event because there is no such center.
A CENTER UCH as the type we have in mind, could
be a clearing house for all types of information. Directories
could be prepared of organizations, societies, churches, pro
fessional and business enterprises. Then this type OF center,
having access to the New York papers and periodicals else
where, could issue releases from time to time giving such
information as is considered of value. Many times it has oc-
cured that contacts could be made, but missed because of
no proper planning,
THEN,TOO, AN information center can have a most
wholesome influence on the lives of Virgin Islanders on the
mainland because of the further fact that significant interests
could be served, We imagine that each year thousands OF
queries 90 unanswered because there is no place to seek
the needed information. A cohesive force, this center could
avoid many an error and wasted energy.
AND IT WOULD not be long before our people would
know that this type of center could set them straight on all
types of matters, political civil, educational, professional, Y
otherwise, & as it grows it would take its place and serve the
greatest possible good. It might be well if those in New York
who can reach our people will give SOME serious thought to
the creation of such a center. It would be most valuable.

Acts of Your Own
Contribute to Happiness

Now, there are many, many
different things, and thoughts,
and ideas that will contribute
many acts of your own that
will contribute to the fun you
have out of life. You can go
along the bank of a stream
in the tropics and there is a
crocodile lying in the sun.
He looks the picture Of con-
tentment.
They tell me that often they
live to be a great age-a hum
dred years or older. Still
lying in the sun, and that is
all they do.
Now, by going to Dart
mouth, by going this far along
the road, you have achieved
certain standards, and one of
those standards is, 1t is no
longer easy for you to have
fun-you can't be like a croco-
ollie and sleep away your lie
and be satisfied. You must
do something, and normally it
must involve others-Some-
thing you do for them. The
satisfaction-it is trite, but
it is true-the satisfaction of
q clear conscience, no matter
what happens.
You can get a lot Of fun out
of shooting a good game Of
golf. But you would not have
the slightest fun out Of that
first 70, if you did it by teeing
up in the rough, or taking the
slightest advantage anywhere,
and no one but you knew it.
That game would never be a

70 to you. And so it was not
worth while because you had
no fun doing it.
Whatever you do. lend a
helping hand to some one
along the road-so something you
have achieved-like your Dart
mouth diplomas today. Those
things that have become
worthwhile in your own esti-
nation, will contribute to your
happiness. They will measure
up to your standards. because
your Standards have become
those that only you know. But
they have become very high,
and If you do those things that
are the kind of things that will
satisfy you, and make life
something that is joyous, that
will cause your face to spread
out Indicating a smile), in
stead of going this way Gin
dicating a long facel--and
there's too much of that in
the world. anyway.
Don't Solve Problems
With a Long Face
You are leaders. You are
bound to be such, because you
have advantages that will
make you leaders to some one,
whether you know 1t or not.
There will be tough problems
to solve. You have heard about
them. You don't solve them
with a long face Il.
This brings me to my second
little topic, which is courage.
I forget the author, but you
have heard that famous say
ing, 1.-THE coward dies a thou
sand deaths but the brave man
dies but once" In other words,
you can live happily if you
have courage, because you are
not seeking something that
you can't have. You must have
courage to look at all about
you with honest eyes-above
all, yourself, and we go back
to our standards. Have you
actually measured up to that
courage. To look at yourself
and say, well, I failed miser-
ably there, I hurt someone's
feelings needlesSly, I lost my
temper-which you must never
do except deliberately. Then
you did not measure up to
your own standards.

HANOVER, N. H., June 15.-
The tert of President EiSen-
hower's address yesterday at
Dartmouth College commence
ntent:
Your President possesses a
braSh bravery approaching
foolhardinesS when he gives
to me this platform in front
of such an audience with no
other admonitior except to
say, speak informally-and
giving me no limits Of any
other kind.
He has forgotten, I think,
that old soldiers love to rem
inisce, and that they are in
addition notoriously garrulous.
But I have certain limitations
of my own I learned through
out these many years, and I
think they will serve to keep
me from offending too deeply.
But even If I do offend, I beg
in advance the pardon of those
families and friends and
sweethearts that are waiting
to greet these new graduates
with a chaste handshake Of
congratulation, and assure
you that any overstaying Of
my time was unintentional,
and just merely a product Of
my past up-bringing.
First, I could not pass this
occasion without the tradi-
tional congratulations to this
class-the completion Of four
years of arduous work at a col
lege of such standing as Dart
mouth, and of which there is
no higher.
Next, think I may be par
doned if I congratulate you on
the quality of the addresses
you have heard today up to
this moment. I think that
your commencement addresses
and the two valedictory ad-
dresses establish a standard
that could well be one to be
emulated even here in the
future.
Now, with your permission, I
want to talk about two points
two qualitieS-that are pure
ly personal. I am not going to
be an exhorter, as Secretary
Pearson has said. ! want to
talk about these two things,
and merely suggest to you cer-
tain ideas concerning them.
I am going to talk about fun
-joy-happineSs; just fun in
life. And I am going to talk a
little about courage.
Now, as to fun. to get myself
straight at once, for fear that
in my garrulousness might
stray from my point, I say this:
Unless each day can be
looked back upon by an in
dividual as one in which he
has had some fun, some JOY,
some real satisfaction. that
day is a loss. It is un-
Christian and wicked, in my
opinion, to allow such a thing
to occur.
Evening star., 1953-06-15

Now, If you have the cour-
age to look at yourself, soon
you begin to achieve a code.
or q pattern, that is closer to
your own standards. BY the
same token, look at all those
dear to you. your own family
of course. your own children
are going to be the greatest
and most extraordinary that
ever lived. But also look at
them, as they are, occasionally.
Look at your country.
Here is a country Of which
we are proud. and as you are
proud of Dartmouth or of your
family. This country is a
long way from perfection.
Haven't Hod Courage
To Uproot Wrongs
We have the disgrace Of
racial discrimination, or we
have prejudice against people
because of their religion. We
have crime on the docks. We
have not had the courage to
uproot these things although
we know they are wrong with
our standards-the standard
given us at places like Dart
mouth-we know they are
wrong.
Now that courage is not go
ing to be satisf1ed-your sense
of satisfaction is not going to
be satisfied, If you have not
the courage to look at these
things and do your best to
help correct them, because
that is the contribution you
shall make to this beloved
country in your time.
Each of us, as he passes
along, should strive to add
something.
It is not enough merely to
say I love America, and to
salute the flag and take off
your hat as it goes by, or by
singing 1.-THE Star Spangled
Banner. Wonderful. We love
to do them, and our hearts
swell with pride. because those
who went before us worked to
give to us today standing here,
this pride.

brought great happiness. You
must add to it. Don't join the
