NIKE Installations
 Planned for Alaska

Announcement that NIKE in- stalIations will be built in Alaska was made by U. s. Army officials today.
 NIKE installations are deploy- ed throughout the States as a defense for industrial, highly populated and strategic areas, and have been integrated into the Army-Air Force Defense Team.
 Tn Alaska, bases for NIKE-the Anrny's new antiaircraft weapon, a guided missile with speed faster than sound will protect important defense installations in the key areas of Anchorage and Fairbanks.
 NIKE sites will be located on federal lands whenever possible, the report stated, however, 1t IS anticipated that acquisition of some private land will be neces- sary.
 The report does not go into the location of these proposed NIKE sites, only to state that de-

tailed survey and testing is nec- essary. The site must satisfy all the technical requirements be- fore action is taken to acquire title to the land. Survey of a tentative site does not necessarl- ly mean that the site will be sell ected, ta1e report stated, but the difficulty in meeting the many technical considerations in locat- ing battery sites naturally limits expensive survey operations to the most likely sites. Private land owners affected may contact the District Engineer to deter mine their rights and procedures aO protect their interests.
 NIKE construction in Alaska is sO he a part of he regular De fense Construction Program, con- arac4ed 10 civilian construction firms under competitive bidding ard standard lump sum type con- gsTuctiOn contracts.

want to be more careful than
usual about the sunniness of the
day. You'll find that the best color
quality is obtained outdoors in
bright or hazy sunlight, with
shadows kept soft yet full of de-
tail.
Your best effect will come from
soft lighting-behind you and full
on the subject - without the
strong contrasts of light and
shade that make Tor deep harsh
shadows. Let the contrasts of
color take the place of contrast
ing light and shade, and look for
simple backgrounds, preferably in
cool colors like blue and green.
Also, remember that your best
time for shooting is after the sun
has been up for several hours or
in the mid-afternoon about two
hours before sunset

By

Home Agent

AAAOhAOCIS anu anV
others interested in reading this
column. | can think of no better
way to observe National Home
Demonstration Week than to start
something new. would like to
make this a weekly personal chat
with each of you to tell you what
is going on among the women of
Dare and pass on such suggestions
as Mrs. Mincie Partridge, of Col
lngton, gave us-"to cut down
odor OF cooking greens, collards,
cabbages, etc. drop a whole pecan,
yes hull and all, into the Dot to
remain throughout the cooking
time"
In commenting about the DEM
onstration theme ''Today's Home
Builds Tomorrow's World'. Mrs.
Edith Best of Stumpy Point saws,
"the Home Demonstration Club
sets the standard for our homes.
that the homemakers of TODAY
have the responsibility of tomor-
rows citizen leaders, and as we
practice family cooperation, loyal
ty, understanding and love we will
greatly influence the World of
Tomorrow"
Mrs. Melvin Daniels, Wanchese,
says, II am proud to have been a
member of a Home Demonstration
Club for the past % years. The
club has meant lot to my COM
munity-just look at the yards
we have learned about flowers,
shrubs, and the social features
means great deal to the women.
We exchange ideas, and get sug-
gestions from the agents to make
feeding families, pleasure rather
than drudgery."
Mrs. Lewis Meekins, Colington,
says thanks for the tip about put
ting salt in water to boil eggs-it
does prevent cracking, and be sure
to use eggs several days old for
easy peeling. Fresh ones break to
pieces quite badly.
Mrs. Wallace Taylor, County
Treasurer, and l were notified
recently of an advance in Fedora
ton dues. The State Executive
Board passed on motion that coun-
ties pay one day per club. Isn't
it nice that our treasurer can
take care of that without any
hesitation.
BY way of Reviewing accom-
plishments Mrs. Ella Midget,
Waves, says through the club she
has learned what to do to make
her home more liveable and at
tractive. Mrs. Matte Midget,
Waves, says her canned foods are
better because she learned
through the demonstration pro-
gram how to preserve the fresh
flavor. Mrs. Inez Austin, Hatteras,
reminds us of the first things
taught by beloved Alice Carter
baskets and trays made from raf-
fla, new clothes for the children
from Dads shirts and many new
food concoctions. Mrs. Austin
says that in early years the social
part was of more Importance than
today, but I have observed
throughout the county it is still
a special feature one not like
many other groups engage in. 1t
is interesting to see how some
games can be brain testers or
teasers.
I'd like to thank Mr.. Evans for
giving us his window space for
the Frame display.

Mr.. Eisenhower implies that the

This meant, the newspaper

Seven of the Is nations in

The pacts still face upper house
votes in both France and West
Germany, the nations where they
have had their hardest shedding.
Another Paris newspaper. the

PARIS. Mar. II. - President
Eisenhower's pledge that the
United States will maintain
troops in Europe if the Paris
agreements on West German re-
armament are ratified won a
warm welcome today in West
Germany. But Paris newspaper
comment was cool.
Mr.. Eisenhower made the
promise yesterday in parallel
messages to the prime ministers
Of the seven nations to be en-
rolled in the projected West Eu-
ropean Union. He said if the
Paris agreements were put in
effect, the United States would
keep in West Europe it's fair
share" of the forces needed for
defense of that area.
In Bonn, an official West Ger
man spokesman said the Presi-
dents assurance appeared
stronger than the similar pledge
Eisenhower made last year in
connection with the -defunct
European Defense Community.
The German said especially
noteworthy was the emphasis the
President put on close coopera-
tion with the WEU members

MOSCOW. Mar. 1.-THE So
Wet government said today it
would like to follow through on
that idea of sending Russian
farmers to learn how Iowans
grow such tall corn and so many
pigs-and vice versa.
A Foreign Ministry note,
handed to United States Ambas-
sador Charles E. Bohlen. said
"Soviet agricultural organs are
ready to receive in the USSR
an American agricultural dele
cation and also to send a Soviet
agricultural delegation to the
USA."
THE Soviet government would
like to know how the United
States Government feels about
the question of exchanging ag-

Farm System, Set Up
Incentive Program
BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW. Mar. 1.-THE So
Wet government. openly admit
ting food shortages, today or
dered its farm system revamped
to give the man on the land
more chance for initiative in
crop planning.
At the same time State farm
managers were warned they will
be held strictly accountable for
any failure to meet production
quotas.
The decree, signed by Commu-
mist Party Chief Nikita S.
Khrushchev and Premier Nikolai
Bulganin. aimed at decentrali-
cation of planning which the
upper echelons have hitherto
controlled.
Profit Incentive
1t was seen as another attempt
to use the private profit incentive
which Mr.. Khrushchev has been
plugging over the past year to
prod Russia's tagging livestock
production.
The new directive told colIec-
tiveS, state farms and machine
and tractor stations to use their
own judgment. This apparently
would end the old system OF far
away bureaucrats overruling the
man on the scene and ordering
him to grow crops he feels are
not suitable.
Serious shortcomings and
mistakes have been observed in
the practice Of agriculture" the
decree said.
Making no secret of the fact
that food shortages exist, the
decree set forth as its main aim
the improved use of land in order
to "have in our country enough
bread. meat, milk. potatoes, vege-
tables and other products.
managers warned
But despite the accent on
local enterprise, the new min
lister of state farms, Ivan A.
Benediktov, in a separate an
nouncement warned state farm
managers they must meet their
production quotas or face public
reprimand or dismissal.
His warning sited particularly
the performance of state farms
in Lithuania, which he said in
the first two months of 1855 full
filled only 26 per cent of their
production quota in meat, IS
per cent in milk and Sc per cent
In eggs.
Mr.. Benediktov was the tar
get of severe criticism during
the past year as agricultural
minister. Premier Bulganin
named him to his new job on
March 2 when A. I. Kozlov was
ousted as minister of state farms.
