continued rfoua tlfat p4goy
talk there were many questions
from home makers which the
speaker answered with desired in
formation.
Louis p. Shannon, of the Public
Relations Department of the Du-
Pont Company, in Wilmington,
speaking in the afternoon session
on Lets Look at Tomorrow"
told the hOmemakers, Progress
doesn't just happen-it is caused.
Progress is always the result of
the effort of people who enVisiOn
a better tomorrow as a goal and
then work INCREASINGLY. to achieve
that goal. He paid tribute to the
importance of the contribution of
the homemakers in working for q
better world and made comparisons
between industrial progress and
progress in human relations"
He exhibited some of the latest
triumphs of the research labOra-
tory and showed how they would
affect the world of tomorrow. He
showed a 'MylaF" polyester film,
very new addition to Americas
Industrial might. He told how
Mylar had cost many millions Of
dollars jim money and years Of CO.
operative effort between highly
trained people i'm order to get it
into production. Mr. Shannon also
exhibited some titanium metal
which, he pointed out, had become
q must" in national defense in
the jet age and stated that titanium
is comparable to high grade steel
but is only about half as heavy.
He pointed cut that as recently as
1947 titanium was only a labOra-
tory curiosity. In concluding his
remarks, the speaker said, "The
moral and spiritual strength of
/ America is just as vital in our to-
morrow as our technical and in
dustrial strength. / am confident
that as we all work together, seek
ing to do a better job in our own
sphere than we did tOday.-that
dedication to progress will become
a real foundation for prosperity
and peace"
Reports Of special chairmen
were given during both morning
and afternoon sessions. The report
on Safety, given by Mrs. Davis
Carlisle, of the MillsbOrO Club
told of a survey conducted by Miss
Louise WhitcOmb, Of the University
of Delaware Extension Service
providing information on Causes
of Rural Accidents. She also re-
ported that two radio programs on
safety had been given; that another
survey was made for the first five
months of the year OH hazards in
the homes which should be re-
moved and stressed the fact "Safe.

Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON

On almost any clear, moonless night, especially in November and December, a few moments of close watching will be rewarded with the sight of one or more shooting stars.
 In November 1799 and 1883, hundreds and thousands were seen for hours at time. They are called meteoric showers. The in ,terval of time between these showers has been 33A years, but the last two intervals of 1899 and 1882 did not bring the anticipated showers.
 Careful watching has revealed the important fact that all the lu minous streaks, if prolonged back ward, will meet in a small area of the sky which is fixed among the stars. This area is called the radiant point.
 The conveyance of these lines is due to perspective, proving that the meteors move through space in parallel lines.
 The constellation in which the radiant point falls gives the name of the shower. Those comnig from Leo, for example, are called the Leonids.

KnOWland Asks U. s. Blockade Of Red Chir' ,

WASHINGTON, l-Se AN now land R-CaliD proposed s." friday the United States clap a tight blockade on Communist China if the Reds refuse demands for the immediate release of 13 American airmen jailed as spies.
 KnoWland, the Senate Republi can leader, told a news conference he would hope American allies would join in such a blockade through United Nations action, but he said the United States should undertake the blockade alone if it's friends dragged their feet.
 KnoWland praised the admins tration's action in sending a strong note to the Peiping government, but said he fears the Chinese will pay no more attention to it than they have to similar protests notes in the past.
 The government was reported to have decided to press vigor ous campaign for release of the 13 by rallying opinion in the free world against the Red outrage" Knowland said the time has come ito use more than words to pro- tect Americans abroad"
 It is his belief, he said, that a blockade could be made effective without any grave risks of Ameri- can involvement in war in Asia.
 A demand for the prompt re lease of the II military men and two civilians was delivered to Red China's diplomatic represen- tative in London Friday by the British Foreign Office at the re- quest of the US. State Dept.
 Washington officials said the same angry note was being deliv- cred also to the Peiping regime through the British diplomatic representative in the Communist capital British channels were used because the British maintain diplomatic relations with Red China, the United States does not.

2d Division Will
 Benefit From New Road Fund System

Alaska's Board of Road Con- missioners have agreed to junk the old system of allocating road funds on a divisional basis and at last weeks board meeting decided on a new and simplified allocation of fuel tax monies that will put the Haines-Juneau auto ferry on the books as trunk line road'' and will give every division a Well-defined share of the costs of roads and related services.
 Instead of allocating wholly on a divisional basis, the total col lections received from the terri torys tWo-cent-a-gallon motor fuels tax will be first used to pay the costs of aviation, police, Alas ka Road Commission joint ex- penses for snow removal and maintenance, and for engineering and travel.
 The remaining money will then be divided 50-50 into two funds. One half of these funds will be used to develop a "trunk-road system, money to be expended wherever the commissioners deem it advisable on trunk roads eX- pansion. The other half of money remaining will be divided on a pro-rata basis between the four judicial divisions of the territory in direct relation to the amount of fuel tax receipts collected with in each division.
 In effect, the new ruling means that the poorer divisions, such as the Second, where tax collections are low, will have the help of the larger divisions in paying the "go- ing costs" of the highway engi- neer's job.
 The Third Division last year collected 56 per cent of the fuel tax monies, Highway Engineer Irving Reed said recently.
 Under the new system, the heavy costs will come out of the tax fund on a territory wide basis, and only half of the remaining re- ceipts will be used on the divi-
The Nome nugget., 1954-11-29

sional pro-rata share basis.
 The new system will permit the Haines-Juneau ferry operation to be conducted outside of the First Division road share sphere and literally gives the route terri torial responsibility status rather than a First Division responsib- ility" so heavy that in the past it has absorbed that areas share in road funds.
 No change was contemplated by commissioners, however, in the system of boat fuel taxes being returned to the division in which they were collected.

Veterans. Dependents Given
Pension, Compensation Boost

Nearly 100000 veterans and GER
tain dependents of deceased veter-
ans will receive a per cent increase
in monthly compensation and PEN
sion payments effective October /,
1854. under two new laws.
Flat increases in excess of 5 per
cent were granted to widows and de-
pendent parents of wartime veter-
ans whose deaths we're attributable
to service.
Veterans Administration said the
increases are automatic and will be
included in checks mailed at the end
of October
VA requested veterans and depen-
dents NOT to write to the agency
concerning the increases because
they are payable automatically
VA explained that compensation
is payable for service connected dis
abilities or deaths and that pension
is payable for nonservice-c connected
disabilities or deaths.
The Compensation Act will incre-
ase service-connected payments to
2036,000 veterans and to 81, 400 de-
pendents of deceased veterans. or a
total of 2.347 400 persons.
The Pension Act will increase
nonservice-connected payments to

START TEETH CARE EARLY

That first visit to the dentist for
Johnny shouldn't be delayed past
age 3, whether he appears to need
attention or not.
The visit can be a social call in
which the dentist and Johnny can
become good friends The dentist
can show the child around his Of
flee, explain his equipment d
also initiate him into the ritual of
toothbrushing.
It's likely parents will have to
do most of the brushing for some
time One suggestion is to let the
child brush his own teeth and then
have an adult 60 over them. The
child is forming the habit of reg
ular toothbrushing, but the parent
is actually keeping the m gu h
clean
Dentists find that children who
have been started on a brushing
routine early in life usually keep
up the practice as they grow older.
Dentists also find that the child
who presents a problem is the
one who has had no home train
ing and whose first dental visit
is postponed until he is 6 to u
years old.
The notion that treatment of
primary teeth is not important is
false They should be cared for as
carefully as permanent teeth, dem
fists emphasize
Premature loss of a first tooth
may result in drifting of other
teeth If a space is blocked, tn
permanent tooth may not have
room to erupt in its proper place
This forces the teeth out of align
ment.
Many mothers believe that it is
not important to repair first teeth
lnaSmuch as they fall out anyway
This view not only leads to great
pain and sleepless nights for the
child, but may result in many
aosceSsed teeth and necessitate
wholesale extraction This, in turn,
interfereS with proper chewing and
proper growth of the child's jaw.

Well, the second grade at, the

School has a parakeet again.
It's not Lucy-She may be gone
'forever-but it's bird that is
tanner, sings better and likes
small children more than poor
frightened Lucy ever learned
to do.
Albert Y. DreiSenstok. a retired

brought the new bird to the
children yesterday.
He was one of dozens of per-
sons from all over the Metro
politan Area who read about the
lost bird yesterday and tele-
phoned the school to report
finding birds. None of the birds
seemed to be the real Lucy.

Ex-Nazis Hail Mccarthy,
Ask His Cooperation
By the Associated Press

HAMBURG, Germany, Oct.

has sent an open letter to Sena-
tor Mccarthy, Republican, of
Wisconsin asking him to help
end the defamation of Ger
many" and get the American
Morgenthau boys out" of the
country.
(The name of Henry Morgen-
thau, former Secretary of the
Treasury, was connected with a
plan to subject Germany to an
agricultural rather than an in
dustrial future)
Karl Ludwig Strieder, Ham
burg state chairman of 1.-The AS
sociation of Those Damaged by
Denazification" asked the Sen
ator to regard the Nazis as his
"allies, forerunners in battle, and
prophets"
Political sources say the group
has about 10000 members.
un Washington Senator Nc
Carthy had no immediate COM
ment.)
The letter said German ex-
Nazis approve of the fighting
aims of the Senator.
