Dulles Confers with Eden On How To Put German Troops In West Defense

LONDON, R - John Foster Dulles talked at length today with Britain's government lead CTS on the question of how to put German soldiers into Western de- fense. He arrived from Bonn all ready in agreement with Chan cellor Konrad Adenauer that West Germany should be treated as an equal partner in arms.
 Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden also was just back from a tour of continental capitals with the same topic uppermost in talks with East European leaders. At his last stop, in Paris, Eden and Premier Pierre Mendes France, issued a joint communique which French Foreign Office spokes man said meant there was basic agreement on Eden's idea for a seven-nation West European de- fense alliance including West Ger many, Britain and France.
 Later, however, there were published reports Mendes-France had attached many ifs and con- ditions to this basic agreement. Informed sources said details are to be worked out at conference in London beginning about Sep tember 27.

Today is 20th Anniversary Of Disastrous Fire Which Razed City of Nome In '34

Twenty years ago today a fire destroyed the entire business dis trict of Nome and extended as far as D Street into the residential district. High winds swept the fire ahead of the fire department, de- stroying all hose and fire fighting equipment.
 It was all over in four hours, residents will recollect, and no lives were lost. By nightfall every one had a roof over his head and food from Little Creek was avail able.
 By Associated Press the news of the disaster was broadcast and the Nugget was printed on mim- eograph until the Alaska Steam ship Co. could send special cargo ships to rebuild and restock Nome for the winter.
 First is still one of the biggest hazards of living in Nome and residents are urged with the com ing of winter to check their stoves and flueS and to clean them as the weather starts to get colder.

Scientists Report Finding Oil Near Magnetic Pole

BOSTON, R-There's oil in the frozen wastes around the mean dering magnetic pole, scientific expedition reported today upon its return from an exploratory voyage of more than 5000 miles aboard the fishing vessel Monte Carlo.
 Heading the scientific staff was the Rev. Daniel Linehan, S.J., director of the Boston College seismograph station, who com- piled records which may show the expedition was first to localize the pole, an area rather than a precise point on the globe, the northwest corner of Prince of Wales Island near Cape Dundas, about HOO miles from the true North Pole.
 The magnetic pole, however, does not occupy a stable position. That is why navigation charts show its rate of variation in re- lation to the pole at the top of the earth.
 Fr. Linehan said that other ex- petitions which claimed to have located the magnetic pole used the old dip needle method while his party used the modern in duction method which he de- scribed as more accurate.
 Capt. Wilbur Dow Jr., of Short Hills, N.J., skipper of the 78-foot vessel, joined with Fr. Linehan in saying the magnetic pole had been located in relatively small tri- angle"
 Approach of winter forced the expedition to retreat before It could complete observations. On several occasions the sturdy fish ing vessel was caught in ice and once she was freed by Canada'S new Arctic patrol vessel Labor ador.
 Fr. Lnehan pursued selsmo- graph work on Prince of Wales Island and at Emily Bay. He found enough oil seeping from rocks at Prince of Wales and Edgeworth Islands to smear the hands, he said, but no indica- lions of uranium. Any oil found in the area would be the property of Canada

Development
 Board Feted by Nome Chamber

The Nome Chamber of Con- merce held a special luncheon to- day to honor the Alaska Develop ment Board who are having their first official meeting here since the appointment of some new members.
 Announcement was made that Ken Sheppard of Anchorage is the new president of the board, other members being Robert Groseclose, Fairbanks; William Bates, Ketch- ikan; Grant Jackson, Nome; and Tormod Bic, Seward, Alaska.
 Also attending the meeting are Alexander Baird, manager of the Board; Al Anderson, Anchorage, assistant manager.
 All the members were infor- mally introduced and responded with a few words. This was fol- lowed by an excellent report from Baird, who gave summary of the all-over picture of the work of the Development Board.
 Baird showed the importance of placing on the market, at this stage in the development of the territory, those products which can be sold on the competitive market. First in this category is pulp because of the demand at this time.
 Second on the list is coal, of major importance if it can be pro- duced to meet the prices of coal from other parts of the country.
 The importance of this meeting of the Development Board is to get together and understand the needs of each part of the territory and set up working plan to help all parts of the territory in its growth.
 Also attending the luncheon was Ralph Starkey, vice president of Alaska Airlines, who extended to the ADB members special invitation from his company to take trip to Lost River tomor- row. There they will see the only tin mine in North America in op- eration; then On to Wales and Little Diomede Island and quick look into tomorrow when they cross the International Date Line.

be warned ahead of time and
avoid certain state highways that
are being oiled each week, the
noble county state highway gar
age will make public the route
numbers each week.
This policy of Supt. J. E.
Douglass should prove very
beneficial to many motorists in
the county.
State route 146 from Sarahs-

Thursday morning of this week,
weather permitting.
The next solid oil job is slated
for route 724 from Carlisle to
Elk Fork and Route 260 from

High School Student
Killed On Excursion
Porkersbure Youth On
Troin With Belle Volley

The Belle Valley senior class
and their chaperones got more
excitement than they bargained
for on their return trip from
Washington, D. c.. last weekend.
The young people, in addition
to Mrs Rama Steen, Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Coyle and Mr.. and
Mrs, Gerald Drake, were enroute
home by rail, after their visit to
the nations capital, when a
school boy from another group,
fell from the back car of the
train to his death.
The accident happened mile
west of Sir Johns Run, w. Va.
The boy, one of a group of
Parkersburg school patrolmen
who had been to Washington, d..
c., apparently had walked in his
sleep, to his death.
Train crew members and
teachers, serving as chaperoneS,
for the group, were unable to
explain the exact circumstances
of the tragedy: One of the teach
ers said she had dozed off for
a while, after all the boys had
Quilted for the night, and that is
apparently when the boy wand
cred off. He was Charles w.
Braden, II, of Parkersburg.
1t goes without saying that the
discovery of the boys death was
a black mark on the holiday
weekend spirits of the Belle
Valley students.

ROTARY HEARS
CLEANING TALK
William Kruchen Addresses
Members on Dry Clean
ing Industry
METHODS OF CLEANING

The Smyrna Rotary Club heard
a talk by William Kruchen, a
member, on the 'Dry Cleaning In
dustry" who told of the early
methods of dry cleaning and the
hazards involved. He traced the
chain of solvents from benzine
and gasoline to the late 1890 SOL
vents which were still petroleum
derivatives, saying that today SOL
vents are "chlorinated solvents"
with such high flash points that
most of the hazard is removed.
He explained the cleaning cycle,
identification system, tests, as
well as customer problems of the
industry. The response was made
by James E. Everhart. A report
was received from the committee
on recommendations for dispersal
of the community service fund,
and it was voted to buy two
smoke masks for the Clayton Fire
Company. Other items were dis
cussed and will be acted on at a

Ponder Function of New Tree
BEFORE Planting

Planting the right tree on the
right home grounds spot is a lot
more complicated than it sounds.
This problem is highlighted now
that the transplanting season is
under way.
Most home owners usually pom
der the variety and type to fea-
ture on the landscape, but pay
little attention to the function,
says w. H. Knowles, field repre-
sentative of the Davey Tree Err
pert Co. They solicit advice as
to the kind of tree. Rarely, how
ever, do they ask professional
opinion about the most suitable
location, which calls for equally
expert knowledge.
The shadow cast by any tree is
a veritable sun dial-the exact To-
cation selected is all important
for both summer shade and win
ter warmth. For instance, a de-
ciduous tree, one that sheds its
leaves for the winter, planted on
the southwest side will cool home
or patio in summer without OBJ
structing the warming sun in
winter. On the other hand, dense
windbreaks of evergreens or
shrubbery can be located to ward
off northerly blasts in winter
without blocking summer breezes.
Many types of evergreens can be
used as screens to block unsightly
views or add privacy.
According to the tree author
ity, every tree and shrub has its
advantages and disadvantages.
The Norway maple is ideal for
heavy shade, but interferes with
free air circulation. The thorn
less honeylocust is recommended
for lacy shade and minimum air

shrubs. With the lower-growing
plants, the bagworms are particu-
larly vulnerable during the DORM
ant season, being readily seen and
easy to collect, according to e. j.
Ledger, field representative of the
Davey Tree Expert Co.
Bags are brown in color, about
two inches long and are attached
to the twig with a silken thread.
Each contains hundreds of over
wintering eggs for next years
ravenous broods.
If the cases are left intact, the
bagworms hatch in late spring
and make their exodus to tender
foliage. After chomping the green
cry, the larvae begin spinning
their own bags around them, en-
larging their quarters as growth
requires. They expose only their
heads and legs. After a three
week pupal stage, the male moth
deserts the case for mating. The
female remains to lay her eggs.
The tree authority says a good
degree of control can be achieved
by handpicking the cases on small
trees and shrubs. He advises that
collected cases be burned or soak
ed in kerosene. The bagworm is a
serious pest in the East and Mid
west.

in an effort to stamp out dis
ease that has wreaked havoc for
years. Calling attention to the
fact that this half-century bat
tie by the Society is ever coming
closer to finding preventive mea-
sures and better cures, Governor
Boggs urged everyone to buy his
quota of seals this year. "The
people of our state have always
been most responsive to the seal
campaign" Gov. Boggs said, "and
that is as it should be. The late
Emily P. Bissell was responsible
in 1907 for the establishment of
an annual sale with which to
bring in funds to operate the So
ciety. This devoted lady, for
whom we have named our State
Sanitorium, led the battle against
tuberculosis for years. The fact
that the Society's. report shows
that 20 persons were rehabilitat-
ed in 1858 should be cause enough
to win support. However, this
was only one of many high spots
in the organizations overall pro-
gram. We could mention that
3,825 students in 80 schools are
enrolled in health habit courses

ciety's activity. when the fam
iliar little package of Christmas
Seals reaches your home, it is
my sincere hope that each of you
will sit down and send back a
check at once. If all of us join
in doing our share in this small
way, we know that greater strides
will be possible in eliminating a
community menace and many
