The Army today was trying to
learn whether an accident or
mechanical defects caused a
Nike guided missile to go astray
yesterday afternoon and land in
the middle of the Baltimore
Washington Parkway.
The ground-to-air anti-air-
craft weapon. launched from
Fort Meade. Nd, landed near
Barboursville, about a mile south
of the entrance to the fort.
Several hours after the Incl
dent. the Pentagon disclosed
that a soldier suffered minor
burns as the Nike took off. He
was identified as Sergt. t1/c)
Stanley C. Kozak. of Battery G,
36th Antiaircraft Artillery Bat
talon. A crew member, Sergt.
Kozak was standing aoout z
feet from the Nike when it went
off. The soldier was given first
aid and then admitted to the
hospital for observation.
Detonated i'm Air
A spokesman at Fort Meade
said that the Nike carried an
explosive and was detonated in
the air for safety reasons.
An investigation board Is seek
ing the cause of the incident.
Another spokesman said that
while no definite cause has as
yet been uncovered, there are
possibilities" In addition, repre-
sentatives OF the Douglas Air
craft Corp, and the Western
Electric Co., who are concerned
in the manufacture of the Nike,
are probing the possibility of
electronic malfunctioning.
Army officials said it was
launched from a temporary
launching platform during a
routine practice alert by the 10th
Antiaircraft Artillery Group Of
the End Antiafrcraft Regional
Command.
Park Police Pvt. Charles r..
Lamon. jr., witnessed the Nike
fall and shatter. He said it sent
a dense cloud of yellow smoke
about 100 yards into the air.
No Cars Near
Luckily, no automobiles were
passing the scene at the time,
and there were no reports of in
juries at the explosion point.
Ordnance personnel, clad in
white protective suits. removed
the fragments. first carefully
flushing them with water. The
back of the truck into which
they were loaded also was
flushed.
The missile landed in the park
way between the northbound
and southbound roadways. Frag-
ments which flew onto the north
bound road gouged holes in the
pavement, causing that lane to
be closed temporarily to traffic.
The long, slender Nike is a
weapon developed to combat air
attacks. It is guided by radio.
The Army said that either
IAN accident or mechanical de-
fects" caused it to go astray.
Fort Meade was one of the
first Nike batteries to be in
stalled in the country.

Ten Years Sees
More Ohio Jobs

An employment booklet by the
Veterans Administration and the
u. S. Department of Labor re-
veals that employment for both
men and women in Ohio substan-
TALLY increased in the 10-year per-
iod from 1910 to 1850.
Employed men in Ohio in 1850
numbered 2,232,OO0 as compared
to 1,789,OOO in 1910. The number
of women employed in 1850 was
$4,000, representing a consider
able increase over the 1910 fig
ure of $4,000.
The 107 page pamphlet titled,
Occupations and Industries in the
East North Central States" also
includes information about Illinois,
Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
It may be purchased for 60c from

This and four other pamphlets
covering other sections of the

Ohio Farm, Home
M. Topics Same,
Content CHANCES

Content has changed but many
topics for Ohio Farm and Home
Week are similar to those present
ed 40 years ago. For example,
home economists will discuss light
for tomorrow's living" at the 43rd
annual Farm and Home Week
March 22-25, while 40 years ago,
III. c. Ramsower demonstrated ker-
csene and acetylene lighting.
Forty years ago, there were
topics on silos and silage. This
year at Farm and Home Week the
counterpart will be a meadow crop
silage clinic. Feeding hoInones to
livestock also is few steps ahead
of the ideas presented III 1915 on
feeding dairy cattle for milk pro-
duction.
The same comparisons may be
made in most areas of farming and
hon1emaking. George Crane and
Guy Miller, co-chairmen of the
1855 Farm and Homo Week pro-
gram, say it illustrates the role of
Farm and Home Week in keeping
farmers and homemakers up-to-
date on new solutions to problems
facing farm fanilies-so solutions
that contribute to an ever improv-
ing standard of living on Ohio
farms.
Early Farm & Home Week pro-
grams included reunions for win
ter course enrollees at the College
of Agriculture. There was stu
dent grain show for Ohio State
University students and it was
time for annual meetings of live
stock and crop improvement asso-
Citations.
The 1916 Farm and Home Week
program listed liberal prizes for
the best exhibit on dairy butter,
market milk, market cream, pas
teuriZed milk and swiss cheese" !"
There was an egg show, a corn
show, a meeting of the state horti-
cultural society, Ohio vegetable
growers, Ohio Percheron Breeders,
and other breed associations that
year.
General programs were held al
night on early Farm and Home
Week programs. Many of those at
tending stayed overnight then. To
day, with improved transportation,
most people drive or fly to Farm
and Home Week and return home
at night.
Yes, Farm and Home Week has
changed, the program chairmen
agree; but it is still the annual
open house at Ohio State Univers-
ity's College of Agriculture. It's 4
time when people can see new ia
cilities and learn new develop
ments in farming and homemaking
at their land-grant college.

Famed Sc Stamps
Facing Oblivion

Washington - The 3-cent stamp
may soon step out of its role as in
innate little necessity in the Amer
leans everyday life.
The Post Office Department
wants to substitute a Accent stamp
for use on first class mail. If that
happens, 3-centers will be pluckei
for the last time from the dark re-
cesses of dainty handbags and fer
reted from the worn folds of wal
lets and the dutsy corners of office
desks and home bureaus all over
the letter-writing United States.
No other denomination has his
tory as diversified as the 3-cent
stamp, says the National Geo
graphic Society.
The first 3-center appeared in
1851, four years after the govern
ment started issuing adhesive post
age stamps. Brick red, it carried a
profile of Washington designed
from a bust by Houdon.
From then until now, Scent
stamps have provided more rev.
enue than any other denomination.
In the fiscal year 1854 alone, 10,-
174, 4,398,000 were run off, bringing
in some S300,OOO,0O0. Three regu-
lar issues (1938's Jefferson, 1925
NATO and 1954's Statue of Lib
erty) accounted for nearly 9,000,-
100000. The 1888 stamp-printed
16 years-was probably the most
used stamp on record. The Liberty
stamp came out in June, 1854, the
first Scent issue inscribed with
I'm God We Trust"
The 3-cent stamps have compos-
ed a gallery of leading Americans
and a chronicle of epic events.

BroiIer Producer
Meets Low Pices

Burnell Warner urged Ohio
broiler producers to give atten-
ton to management and market
ing details in an effort to break
even during this period when
prices barely equal cost of pro-
duction.
The Montgomery County broil-
er producer, speaking at the Ohio
State University Broiler School
advised producers to keep in con-
tact with buyers. Buyers seem
little more reluctant TO buy birds
in a distressed market so we try
to keep constantly in the buyers
picture regardless of supply on
the market, he said.
Following chick replacement re-
ports of the previous 10 weeks
will help growers anticipate mar
ket changes. A distressed market
sometimes reverses itself quickly
and the situation may warrant
taking a chance on a price rise,
Warner said. Birds should not be
held too many days once they are
ready for market he cautioned.
Economy of gain decreases as
birds get larger.
Stay with a standard feed pro-
gram, provide plenty of feeder
space, floor space and ventilation
to get most economical gains the
grower advised. Adequate venti-
lation helps get good feathering,
and adequate space results in bet
ter quality birds. Supplementary
feeders helped us get more rapid
growth and more economical gains,
Warner stated.
He encouraged growers to take
advantage of the full fertility val
ue of manure as another way to
meet the cost-price squeeze.
and communicate with them in
terms they will understand. There
must be no limitations imposed by
age, education, intelligence, cultur-
al background, or economic level." "
He then went on to outline pro-
gram plans for the occasion.
DR.. Bolts concluded his remarks
by saying Every citizen needs to
become better acquainted with
mental sickness. Only then will gi-
gantic strides be taken in its pre-
vention, treatment, and research.
We are offering such an opportun-
ity through observance of Hospital
Day on Sunday, May 1st. This also
marks the beginning of National
Mental Health week as proclaimed
by President Eisenhower"
