Halloween was celebrated in
Smyrna in the usual gleeful man.
ner and if anything there was
more enthusiasm among the mer-
ry makers and mummers than
last year. The chief interest with
the merry makers was the torch
light procession, and street par
ade given under the auspices of
Union Castle No. IL knights OF
the Golden Eagle. On Frazier

walk near the corner of Delaware
street was torn up, steps were re-
moved and thrown over back
yards, shutters and awnings were
torn down.

Conwell, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Benjamin T. Conwell was
married to Mr.. Joseph Mariner

Tschudy and Cats basket mill is
now an assured fact. Mr.. Charles
E. Napp of Trenton, N. j., who
has been active night and day the
past week in securing subscrip-
tions of stock has been quite sue
cessful and yesterday announced
that he had secured the necessary
quantity to start the industry as
soon as the Smyrna and Kent
County Manufacturing Company
became Incorporated and organ
ized. The officers to be selected
are as follows: Mr.. Charles e.
Napp, president; Mr.. A. l.. Hud-

 Supplemental Appropriations
 The Supplemental Appropria- ton Act for the 1855 fiscal year as it cleared the Congress this week following adoption of the conference report contains money for expenditure in Alaska by the Commerce, Interior, Treasury, Air Force, Navy and Army De- partments.
 Operation by the Civil Aero nautics Administration and the Weather Bureau at Cold Bay for civil aviation activities was ap- proved with most of the funds totalling $920,000 to come from appropriations made available to the Commerce Department in pre- vious appropriation bills. Alaska's share of the reestablished Feder- al aid airport program will be $225,000.
 The bill as it went to the Presi- dent for approval also contains an appropriation of $503,000 for the Alaska Communication Sys- tenn plus authority to use an ad- ditional $541 ,000 previously made available. Construction money for the Defense Department in Alas ka includes $12,870,000 for the Air Force, $719,000 for the Navy and $6,059,000 for the Army. The Trea- sury Department was granted $250,000 for replacement of sec- tion of the Coast Guard wharf at Ketchikan.
 The conference report was sil- ent with regard to the use of the $1,180,000 appropriated for the care of Alaska Native Service tubercular patients. Both the House and Senate had agreed on the amount of money, but the House Appropriations Commit tee stated in it's report that the funds were to be used for 400 ad- ditional hospital beds in Wash lngton State and all the money was to be spent for contracts in that state. The Senate commit tee, however, stated, If the Sec retary determines it to be in the

The authorization legislation, which includes close to 200 pro-
 ects for the whole country, ap- groves the construction of the fol- lowing Alaska projects recom- rlended by the Department of the Army: Seward Harbor of Refuge, $81,2 200, to provide raising the south breakWater and construct ing a pile breakwater to close partially the east side of the bas- in; Valdez, $116,600, for a rock and gravel breakWater along the southeast side and pile break water to close partially the south west side of the basin; Sitka, $41, 500, for dredging of the United States Forest Service basin; Kodiak, $1,685,OOO, for dredging of a 12-acre and two rock break waters; Dry Pass, $1,419,800, for dredging of channel; Neva Strait, $224,400, for dredging channel through Whitestone Mar rows; Petersburg Harbor, $40,000, b provide dredging of the outer one-t third of the small boat basin to a depth of Is feet; Pelican Harbor, $270,000, for a small boa. basin; Ketchikan Harbor, $2,947,- 900, for a small boat basin at Bar Point protected by two rock breakwaters; Rocky Pass in Keku Strait, $214,000, for improvement by removal of rock hazards; and flood control at Gold Creek, Jun eau, in the authorized sum of $38O,O0O.
 The approval for the Alaska projects was given in three stag es. At the time the House con- sidered the omnibus bill, the De- partment of the Army had sub- mited recommendations for only Seward, Valdez and Gold Creek. Following House passage the Army sent recommendations for Sitka, Kodiak, Dry Pass and Neva Strait and the Senate Public Works Committee added the four projects in reporting the measure to the Senate after Delegate Bart lett recommended inclusion of the

Alaska Public Works


 Funds for Is Alaska Public Works projects were allocated this week from the $91a million made available by Congress for the 1855 fiscal year, according to information given Delegate Bart lett by the Interior Department.
 It will be recalled that the Presidents budget had contained $5 million for the program, an amount approved by the House. However, the Senate raised that sum $412 million above the money sought by the Interior Depart ment in the budget, bringing the total to $912 million, the figure which prevailed. Ten school pro- jects are included in the alloca- tions. The remaining eight allo- cations are earmarked for the following projects: Water, streets, sewer at Petersburg, $506,700; an addition to the Pioneers Home at Sitka, S800,000; a hospital at Valdez, $460,000; streets in Jun eau, $397, ,450; utilities at the Uni versity of Alaska, $567, 500; two sewer extension projects at An chorage, one in the sum of $311,- 100 and the other $482, 100; and sewer extension at Fairbanks, $5OO,OO0.
 The original law authorizing. a $10 million public works program for Alaska was enacted in 1949 to extend until June 30, 1855. Thr- ough the 1855 fiscal year, the Congress has appropriated $5O,- 708,200. Delegate Bartlett's bill to extend the program until June 30, 1859, was signed into law in July.
 Navigation and Flood Control
 Projects

Alaska Mental Health
 Legislation

With objection, made to the leg islation during what was prob ably the final call of the Senate calendar prior to adjournment, there was only slight possibility of enactment of the Alaska men tai health bill during this Con- greSs.
 The measure, sponsored by Congressman Saylor of Pennsyl- vania, as it passed the House and was reported to the Senate con- tained relatively similar provl- sions for modernizing and revis- ing the commitment procedures for Alaska's mentally i'll but diff fered in their financial procedur- es. The measure as it passed the House provided that the Terri tory of Alaska would assume any costs of the program above $798,- 600, the sum appropriated to the Interior Department during the 1854 fiscal year for the care of Alaska's mentally ill. The Sen ate Interior and Insular Affairs Committee amended the bill to provide that after April 1, 1855, the Territory would assume the financial support of the mental health program, the federal gov ernment continuing only to care for those already committed up to that date. The Senate commit tee recommended grant of 20O,- 900 acres of land to the Terri tory to assist in meeting the fin ancial burden imposed. In addi- tion, the Senate committee recom- mended that any contracts which the Territory through the Cover nor might enter into would be confined to Alaska and the con-

projects. A day or two before the Senate acted on the measure, the Department of the Army sent to the Hill it's recommendations on projects for Petersburg, Pelican, Ketchikan and Rocky Pass. Sena- tor Magnuson of Washington State sought their inclusion in the bill on the Senate floor and was successful. The bill then came back to the House and all Senate recommendations were approved.
 The measure is an authorization bill only and does not include ap- propriations.

Talking things out together is
the way Americans have helped to
shape their Destiny" the Librarian
declared in announcing the pro-
gram and inviting participation.
She added:
The aim is to discuss problems
which faces US today in the light
of the basic documents, ideas,
and exciting experiences which
constitute our American heritage.
1t is surprising how many issues
Of today were faced in the earlier
years of the nations growth and
it is encouraging to discover how
they were successfully dealt with.
Trained leaders from the COM
munity help guide the discussions,
informality is the order of the
meetings and the members of the
groups choose for themselves
from suggested books and films
what subjects are to be covered
and discussed at the meetings,
according to Mrs. Lyells.

libraries is now in its third year,

gree of unity before certain issues,
mainly colonial"
The reason for the fading away
of the Asian-African bloc are
many.
l. The group never responded
to a common theology, nor did it act
as a third force, except in 1880
1851 on the Korean issue. Then it
showed it's greatest vitality and CO.
hesion, even if, in fact, it merely
had accepted Indian leadership.
2. The groups main function al
ways was opposition to .colonialism
and racialism. But now the United
Nations is running out of colonial
issues. The question of French
North Africa has lost it's dramatic
impact since the French Govern
ment of Pierre Mendes-France
promised reforms paving the way
to internal autonomy in the pro-
tectorates. The decision to raise
the question of the status of AL
geria was later reversed. Racialism
in the Union of South Africa re-
mains on the books for the record.
The UN has done all it could on the
racial issue but has no power to
enforce a decision. On the Cyprus
issue the bloc is divided.
Other issues, not properly CO.
lonial, in which the bloc took a
leading interest have lost their
urgency. The dispute between Bur-

ma and Nationalist China over the
presence of Chinese Nationalist
armed bands in Burmese territory
is on the way to solution. Nothing
new is expected along the Pales
tine front. is
3. The main reason for the bloc's
weakness, however, is that it oper-
ates as the UN only, without re-
fleeing a similar alignment at the
government level
1t was probably to correct this
situation that Indonesia has called
a conference of Asian and African
nations at Jakarta. Considerable
skepticism is being voiced here
about it's chances of success. Many
Asian and African nations are en-
tering into new alliances, or con-
sidering doing so, that are incom-
patible with the kind of alignment
Indonesia is contemplating.
Pakistan, the Philippines, and
Thailand have joined the South
east Asian Treaty Organization.
Ethiopia and Liberia always have
sided with the west, while Iraq,
lebanon, and Iran are moving in
the same direction. Egypt is I'M
dergoing rapid changes and no one
can forecast where they will lead.
Most other Arab countries are too
concerned with internal problems to
have evolved foreign policy. Only
India, Indonesia, and Burma fol-
low "neutralistic" or independent
line. Furthermore, divisive issues,
of which Kashmir is an example,
keep some of the Asian-Africans

essential to the understanding of
the issues of our times"
A special group discussion pro-
gram for young adults is also be-
ing arranged at the Carver Branch
Library. Called "It's Our America"
the program follows the American
Heritage plan with participants
limited to young people of out-of-
school age, Is and over. They
also select their own subjects and
books and films; they have train
ed discussion leader of their own;
and they concern themselves, pri-
marily, with issues which are
faced in the years Of youth.
The American Heritage discus
sion groups are sponsored in Mis-
sissippi by the Library Commits
sion. The Jackson Public Library
headed by Miss Pearl Sneed sup
ports the project. Full details may
