 For Operation North Star

FAIRBANKS, R-Units of the 4th Infantry Division moved out of Ladd Air Force Base in 43 below zero weather early Monday and headed over a wilderness trail toward Nenana as Operation North Star got under way in AL aska.

NEWSPAPER CIRCULATION UP

Despite the advent of televison, pocket books, drven theaters and other modern forms of entertain ment circulation of daily newspapers continues to increase. Editor and Publisher, weekly magazine of the journalistic trade, reported recently that 1853 circulation record, moving up about one per- cent from 1852 figures
 Not only did the nations daily papers increase their circulation but they also increased their advers ing volume last year Even though business firms shelled millions of dollars for teevision and other forms of advertising newspaper advertising continues to be by far the most popular form of advertising and to bring in increasing revenue
 There are those who believe new news and enter tainment mediums such elevison prove beneficial to other media, such as newspapers. People want a news paper to see what is on radio and to look up favorite programs and times.
 After hearing news bulletin the radio, listeners eager to read more about the "story in the newspaper.
 So the different media do not necessarily compete, They complement another to large degree Nothing can will, take the place of the newspaper in American life. People like to have a record of events, source of and advertising they pick up in any spare moment, and competa pre- sentation of news events. Only the newspaper can provide that and that's why circulation totals continue to go up

Soviet Launches
 Campaign to Boost Trade with Canada

OTTAWA, R - The Soviet Union is launching a campaign to expand her trade with Canada. There's room for plenty of ex- pansion, since Canada sold Rus sia just $466 worth of goods dur ing the first nine months of 1853.
 D. s. Chuvahin, Moscow's first ambassador to Ottawa since Igor Gouzenko's spy revelations in 1945, invited newsmen to his em- bassy Monday night to tell them the Soviets want to do business with Canada.
 ChuVahin said Russia could seek Canadian manganese ore, diesel fuels and petroleum products, cot ion and probably many other commodities. He said his govern ment is ready to buy freighters, textiles, farm machinery, butter, meats, raw hides and maybe even some of Canada's surplus wheat if that woud help trading relation ships.
 He added Russia is ready to ex- port items classified by the West as strategic materials-the war potential goods which Canada and the rest of the Western allies won't sell to the Soviet bloc na- lions.

HOLLYWOOD, R - sF,rom Here to Eternity" has swept thru with 13 nominations in the Oscar derby and appears to be the pie ture to beat
 The nominees, which were an- nounced last night, showed a strong favoring for the hard bitten army drama. It drew an amazing five nominations for it's stars and at least three of them were strongly favored to win.
 Current Hollywood betting fla vors tough Burt Lancaster for the top Oscar because of his ser geant's role in Eternity" Deb orah Kerr, who abandoned queen ly roles to play an army wife of loose morals, could also be win her, although Audrey Hepburn of Roman Holiday" appears the fla vorite so far.

By the Associofed Press

Senator McCarran, Democrat,
of Nevada said today Attorney
General Brownell has injected
politics into national security
and that this accounts In part
for a lack of action on the ad-
ministration's anti-subversive
bills.
Senator McCarran also said
some of the anti-subversive
measures submitted to Congress
by the Justice Department "have
bean so loosely drawn that they
rattle" He is a former chairman
of the Senate judiciary Com
mittee and its Red hunting In
ternal Security subcommittee.
President Eisenhower yester-
day urged passage of the anti
Communist measures before
Congress adjourns, listing them
along with farm, tax revision,
Social Security foreign aid and
housing measures as major
parts of his program.
Senator Ferguson. of Michi-
gan, head of the G. o. P. Policy
Committee. conceded that not
all the anti-Communist bills
recommended by Mr.. Brownell

A controversial wiretap meas
ure points up the cross currents

Weeks ago the House passed
a bill to permit evidence OBJ
tanned by overlapping to be
used in the prosecution of ma
tional security cases if the wire
taps were court-ordered. Mr..
Brownell has urged that the At
torney General be empowered
to authorize such overlapping.
A Senate Judiciary subcom-
mittee approved the wiretap
measure asked by Mr.. Brownell.

Fencing Farm Lands
Takes Some KnOw1HOW

There are some tricks to the
trade when it comes to putting
up wire fences, reminds William
Larsen, agricultural engineer at
the University of Delaware. Many
farmers erect fences with made
quate bracing and stretch and at
tach the wire improperly.
Strong, long lasting fences de-
pend on the following: posts that
will last 20 years or more; heavy,
good quality wire; properly locat-
ed and constructed braces; wire
stretched tightly and attached
with fast holding staples.
Durable woods such as cedar
and locust will last 15 years and
longer. Nondurable woods treated
with creosote, penta-chlorofenal
or osmosis salts will last 18 to
20 years. Brace post units should
be to 6 inches in diameter at
the top and line posts zfa to 4
inches.
The wire should have a good
coating of zinc for protection
against rust, suggests Larsen

about 1s5 per cent, and for motor
trucks, the increase was about
$50 per cent.
Numbers of farm tractors in
the southern states bordering the
Mississippi river and east of the
river increased skiold during the
same period, the report indicated.
On the other hand, farm auto
mobiles for the country as a
whole have increased since 1910
by less than 10 per cent.
The USDA report said that
since 1912, the number of farms
with milking machines has in
creased by about $50 per cent,
while the number of feld-type
cornpickers has increased about
400 per cent, adds the county
agent. The number of grain COM
bines on farms in 1858 exceeded
100000, compared to 375,O00 in
1915, and only about $4,000 in
1880, according to the report.

Top DHIA Herds

The Dairy Herd Improvement
Association of Delaware announce
es So herds on the honor roll for
the testing year 1953-1954. These
honor roll herds have averaged
over $50 pounds of butterfat per
COW per year. The past five years
have been the only time in the
history of the DTIIA program
that the state average for rs
herds or more erceeded $50
pounds of butterfat per COW.
According to Delmar Young,
dairy specialist for the Delaware
Agricultural Extension Service
the number of honor roll herds
this year has more than doubled
the number of DFIIA herds in
1947. The size of the hreds has
also increased during the past few
years from 18 cows per herd in
1910 to 27 cows per herd in 1854
Herds ranked as the top herds

Larsen recommends the follow
ing steps for constructing wire
fences: put the wire on the Tive
stock side" of the posts. At the
beginning and end of each stretch
the wire should extend around the
post and be attached to the cor
responding wires Stretch tightly
to pull out about half the tension
curves in the wire. Use 11a Inch
or the L-shaped strong hold stap-
les in treated woods. On line
posts between the brace units,
staples should be firm but not
tight on the wire. When using

November 8 ebay
For Delaware Farmers

November s is "C-Day" for Del
aware farmers-the day marking
the start of the 1854 Census of
Agriculture in the state.
Farmers can expect to receive
questionnaires in the mail about
November 1. This will allow time
to fill out the forms before the
census taker arrives. In some
states the interviews begin as
early as October 4.
This census of agriculture
first to be taken during fall
months-is the first that census
workers have tailored so COM
pletely to fit weather conditions,
crop harvest dates, and rental
agreement dates. A major alter
alton was a law changing the ma
tional starting date from January
to october.
The Census Bureau is urging
farmers to complete their own
questionnaires. This will save
time for both farmers and census
takers. 1t will also reduce the
cost of the census and will make
the results available sooner to the
public.
Census workers find that a
program must be flexible in deal
ing with people. In Utah, for
example, the census date was
changed from October 25 to No
vember 8. The reason? There
was conflict with the hunting sea-
son.
