Results Of Heintzleman's Proposal

Governor Heintzlemans proposal to cut north
western Alaska from statehood left Democrats and
Republicans alike stunned especially at this late date
when delay change might mean deferment Of state
hood again

the Aaskns who would be left outside the border Of

feel sorry for but states that little is better than
nothing Gas long they are on the statehood side Of

Public reaction to the plan this week, however,
has been indignation any division of Alaska Pres
ident Eisenhower has had strong backing in the Sec

shaking up since Wednesday, when the announcement
made that he might favor partition Many Repub-

going for Republican candidates in the primaries this
month should action be taken
The idea Of partition is not a new one, as Ralph

Defense Secretary Wilson Says New
Radar System Will Give Warning OF
Planes Approaching Over Polar Cap

WASHINGTON, RASecretary
Of Defense Wilson said Thursday
survey work for a new Canadian
United States radar warning
chain across the rim Of North
America lis already well adj
vanced."
This new system is north Of the
"Pinetree Chain" of aircraft
warning stations which was start
ed four years ago, Wilson said in
a statement. A simultaneous an
nouncement was made in Ottawa
The far north radar warning
system is placed to detect air
craft coming over the polar cap.
Wilson also announced a build
up of the warning system over
the northern Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans.
He said:
1T is obviously just as impor-
tant to have early warning of
aircraft approaching target areas
in North America from over the
sea as from over northern Can
ada. For this reason, the United
States Government is expanding
the early warning barrier across
the northeastern and northwest
ern Seward approaches to North
America.
The Alaska radar system is
cOOrdinated with those in Canada
and the continental United States,
and the development of airborne
radar is well advanced"
1t has been disclosed that the
United States has installed in AL
aska at least one experimental
radar unit, operating fully auto
matically and designed to provide
at least six hours Of warning to
Jno OnlL6Q SLdLeS.
This station, apparently intend
ed eventually to be part Of the
distant early warning line" Of
stations, is in the vicinity of Bar
ter Island off the northern Alas
kan coast and about 1900 miles
from the North Pole
The airbOrne radar equipment
to which Wilson referred includes
search and scanning equipment
mounted in big planes which can
fly to distant positions and patrol
for hours. The advantage Of air.
borne radar is that the range is
extended because the altitude of
the plane makes it possible to
reach farther out over the curva-
ture Of the earth.
Much Of the ea-airborne radar
system is operated by the Navy
with long-range patrol planes,
radar picket submarines and de-
stroyer5.

On the crest of a hill above the
bathing beach there are ID over
night cabins built of native white
oak and chestnut. The cabins fit
into the landscape beautifully and
they are luxurious enough to suit
any vacationer. Each cabin has a
kitchen, two bedrooms, a toilet
and shower and a living room,
and each is equipped with a hot
water heater. electric lights and a
three-burner gasoline stove. Each
cabin has a large woodburning
fireplace.
On the other side of the lake
stands a large stone lodge that
provides an outstanding dining
room, recreation facilities, meeting
halls, and a very attractive porch
that overlooks a portion of the
picturesque body of water. An
other group of cabins are in close

zaIeski Park Is
Top Play Area

Columbus, Ohio Among the
beautiful rolling hills of Vinton
County in southeastern Ohio lies
Zaleski Park 22,400 acres of
public playground. The name of
the park has almost been eclipsed
by the popularity of one segment
of the tract which is Lake Hope.
Lake Hope is well known to
thousands of OhioanS and tourists
from other states. The 12O-acre
lake which was formed by the
damming of Big Sandy Run pro-
vides boating, bathing and fishing
facilities. One spot on the lake
has long beach and two-story
bath house that contains dressing
rooms, check rooms, showers and
sun decks. A wooden pier extends
out into the water $50 feet, and
several diving boards have been
erected.
Some distance from the bathing
beach there are boat docks, tie
ups, and boat house. A sheltered
porch on the second floor of the
boat house overlooks the lake.
Some of the States best tim
berland is located in the valleys
and on the hills that surround the
lake. Parts of the State Park
serve as a game refuge, but most
of it is open to hunters at certain
seasons of the year.
Footpaths totaling more than
eight miles wind through the cool
green fastness of the forest, and
for the motorists there are 35

Mr.. Zaleski began buying up land
in that section of Ohio in 1850
because he had heard of marvel
ouslv rich veins of iron ore there.
He stayed in Paris, but sent an
agent over here to take care OF
his business. The agent surveyed
the land, laid out an entire town,
and built a fine mansion for Mr..
Zaleski. Everything was done to
the last detail, even rows of
houses were built for miners. Mo-
thing ever came of the venture.
and Zaleski never came to Amer
lea. The great house called zal-

slowly fell to pieces. Today the

instead of a public recreational

Higher Costs In Milk
Industry Drop Profits

Higher taxes, license fees and
container costs more than offset
the lower farm price of milk ac-
cording to Fred J. Greiner of the
Ohio Dairy Products Association.
Basing his report on a study of
milk distribution costs by Indiana
University, Mr.. Greincr said the
average decline in farm milk pric-
eS of nearly three cents per sales
dollar was offset by rising costs to
such an extent that the average
profit of milk companies was one
and one-half cents, the lowest on
record.
The study was made for the
Milk Industry Foundation, a ma
tional association of the nailk dis
tributing industry. Findings were
based on data from 342 milk firms
in $50 cities located in 43 states
and Hawaii 1t is the fifth study
made by the Foundation in the in
terests of developing even greater
efficiency in milk distribution.

Columbus, Ohio-In more than
1900 Methodist churches across the
state Sunday, Jan. II, Methodists
will pay tribute to the men and
women who have given the best
years of their lives to the ministry.
This will be the first annual
Ministers Day, formerly known
as Veterans Day. The title was
changed and the emphasis enlarg-
ed, to include the encouragement
of young men and women toward
entering full time Christian serv-
ice as ministers.
Ohio Methodism last year lost
some 40 full-time ministers thr-
ough retirement. The church is
concerned with replacing these
men-not only to keep pace with
retirement, but to interest more of
its young people to devote their
lives to the ministry. This is vital
in face of the, growth of the
church.

Decrease Synthetics
Before Washing Warns
Clothing Specialist

Grease spots in synthetic fab
RIGS should be treated before
washing, says Edith Berry, cloth
ing specialist at Ohio State Uni
Versity.
Usual methods for removing
grease spots from washable fab
RIGS have little or no effect on
grease spots in synthetic fabrics.
Miss Berry advises using a
sponge to saturate grease spots
with a concentrated solution of
soap or detergent. After spots are
thoroughly saturated, they should
be rinsed in cold water. Manipulate
ing spotted areas until water
squeezed from the fabric is clear
is the best way to rinse. After
rinsing, the garment is ready for
regular washing.

Infra-Red LAMBS
Make Brooders

Infra-red lamps provide flexible
broOding equipment for farm an
imals, says I. P. BIauser, extension
agricultural engineer at Ohio State
University.
He says they are used in Ohio
for broOding as few as Is to 50
chicks and for as many as 10000.
Infra-red lamps are used for
brooding pigs and lambs too.
1nfra-red bulbs are designed es-
pecially for heat application and
last longer than ordinary light
bulbs. They have special buiIt-in
reflectors which direct and concen-
trate the heat, and some have
special glass to reduce breakage
and cut down light intensity.
Bulbs are available in l25, $50.
and 375-Watt sizes.
BlauSer recommends one $50
watt infra-red bulb for 50 to 125
chicks. The 375-watt bulbs will
handle about IL times that many
chicks. Farmers usually use $50
watt for pigs and lambs.

Milk containers including bot
ties and cartons showed an in
creased cost of 40 per cent since
1947 taking five cents from the
sales dollar. The cost of taxes and
licenses which have been rising
steadily takes two cents. Admins
trative salaries total eight tenths
of a cent with all other salaries
and wages reaching 19 cents. AS
such, all salaries and wages were
a slightly smaller percentage of
the sales dollar than before.
Insurance, advertising and de-
probation as a group showed only
a small variation from previous
years.
The average price received per
quart of milk delivered to the
home was found to be 23.76 cents.
On this basis the operating margin
of the milk firms averaged almost
exactly 1/3 cent per quart.
Cost of the milk and other raw

Pigs May Do Well
Without An+ibio+ic

Including an antibiotic in soy
bean oil meal ration for pigs be-
yond weaving age does not always
result in a marked improvement in
performance, says a swine re-
search specialist.
w. L. Robson, in charge of
swine research at the Ohio AgTi-
cultural Experiment Station, bases
his statement on results from 8
dry lot experiments over a 4-year
period.
He found that pigs given an an
tibiOtic such as aureomyCin, or a
BIZ and antibiotic supplement,
gained OIL pound a day faster or
were ready for market 6 days
earlier on the average than those
without it. In 3 of the tests, the
feed saving per unit of gain from
using an antibiotic supplement av-
eraged only slightly over 1 per-
cent. In the other tests, the saw
ing was slightly higher-from 2.5
to As percent.
At current retail prices, cost of
the antibiotic supplement offset
the saving in feed so that the av-
erage cost of feed per 100 pounds
Of gain was the same for both
groups of hogs.
Robson believes the kind and
amount Of other ingredients in
soybean oil meal rations have
some effect on the response OBJ
tanned. But the greatest factor is
the degree of health of the ami
mails.
In other tests, ROblson compar-
ed the effect of feeding low and
standard protein ratiOns with an
tibiotiCs. With the low, antibiotics
enabled the pigs to be marketed Z
days earlier and saved an average
of AS pounds of feed per 100
pounds of gain. A standard protein
ration made no difference in rapid
ity of gains, but did lower the
feed requirement ga pounds per
100 pounds of gain. The low pro-
tein ration contained an average
Of II percent of sOybean oil meal;
the high, 178 percent.
Apparently if low protein ra-
tiOns contain a good balance of es-
sential amino acids and ample
quantities of vitamins and miner
ais, especially the trace mineral
cobalt, they give satisfactory re-
suits. But since a low protein ra-
ton makes a fatter carcass, Robin
son believes that most farmers
would want to feed an intermedi-
ate rather than a low protein ra-
ton.
