eva" Will Take
Color Pictures In
Complete Darkness

BOSTON, GA costly instru-
ment nicknamed Eva" - which
can take color pictures in COM
plete darkneSs-has been exhib-
tied to the public for the first
time.
Eva" short for evaporograph,
enables photos to be made of a
blacked-out city, a house a mile
away and even hot gases pouring
out of a chimney.
Only recently declassified by
the US. Signal Corps, the $1,000
instrument was demonstrated by
DR.. Bruce Billings, physicist and
general manager of Baird Associ-
ates, Inc.
Not an electronic device, Eva
gathers the heat radiation sent out
in varying degrees and wave
lengths by various objects. The
radiations are focused on a very
thin, uniform film of oil
The film is maintained, inside
Eva, on a plastic membrane. Heat
radiations are focused on the oil
film. Molecules evaporate from
the oil surface in proportion to
the temperatures focused on the
various parts of the film. Color
pictures of the image are taken
by little camera built inside the
instrument.

Official Visitors
Here From Dept.
Of Public Welfare


district representative, Depart
of Public Welfare, announces an
official visit from the central Of
flee staff in Juneau.
Miss Marjorie Morris, director,
Division of Social Services, is re-
viewing local office operations as
well as information supplied by
agents of the department in the
outlying villages.
Special attention is being given
to the lien provisions of the Old
Age Assistance program. The first
Old Age Assistance law, which
was passed in Alaska in 1887, did
not contain a section providing
for liens on property. 1t did pro-
vide for the filing of a claim by
the territory against the estate at
the death of any person who had
received payments from the Old
Age Assistance, fund.
The 1949 legislature revised the
law and added a provision where
by the territory has the right to
lien against the property of re-
cipient of old age assistance in an
amount equal to what the person
has received in payments. For
number of years the Welfare
Board required liens to be placed
only on property that was valued
at more than $1,000. It was no.
possible to determine accurately
the value Of property as it fluctu-
ated in value, so about a year ago
the board changed the require
ment by removing the limit on
value.
During the past year, the staff
has been reviewing the property
of the various people receiving
OLD age assistance, and there are
many liens now being filed on
properties valued at less than
$1,000. The fact that a lien is
placed upon property does not
take that property away from the
person who owns it. 1t simply in
Sures that the property will not be
sold during the persons lifetime.
No lien is foreclosed during the
lifetime and need of the person
who owns the property.
Miss Susan Aunet, child well
fare supervisor, is reviewing the
activities of the district office as
far as they pertain to child well
fare.
She is discussing with Miss
Jolley the proposed standards for
foster care in accordance with
Chap. IT, SLA 1851, which gives
the Department of Public VEL
fare the responsibility for setting
standards and licensing foster
homes, boarding homes, day care
centers, and children's institu-
tons.
Standard-setting is necessary
part of insuring adequate care for
children in the territory; and it
gives protection not only to the
children, but to people who are
caring for the children. Broad
standards are being set which, are
applicable in all parts of Alaska.
Miss Morris and Miss Aunet
will leave Nome on February 81.

PEANUTS FOR DIETERS

Peanuts may soon be made less
threatening to calorie- conscious
people
The U. S. Department Of Agri-
culture has done a study that shows
a solvent bath process can remove
oil from peanuts without changing
their physical appearance.
According to weight the peanut is
about so per cent oil. An ordinary
handful-from IS to II peanuts
contains about "a calories T h S
same quantity Of de-oiled nuts has
about 80 per cent less energy value,
only about II calories.
The high protein value of peanuts
is not destroyed by removing the
oil. The de-oiled nuts have a firm
crisp texture These nuts have a
slightly lighter color than the or
binary peanuts. and are also con-
Slderahly mllder and sweeter BY
roasting the nuts after the oil has
been removed, both the color and
flavor can be enhanced.

Bare-Headed Men

No doubt one of the reasons for the de-
cllnesln the wearing of hats by men is the
belief, rightly or wrongly, that wearing a
band around the head may cause badness.
The hat industry attempted to counter this
belief by pointing out that bare medicines
was certainly an invitation to poor health.
They quoted Army reports showing that
the wearing of hat helps keep the feet
warm. Presumably, it was taken for grant
ed that it kept the head warm, also.
But, in recent years, the wearing of hats
by men continued to decline Now, the hat
makers say that the style trend is back to
hats, including caps which seem to be
making a comeback. And, the number of
cueballs in the United States being on the
increase, these gentlemen are expected to
wear more hats.
But the hat industry does not mention
the cue-balls, for some of them have been
told that wearing hat made them bald
and so this is a case of letting a sleeping
dog lie And, we will probably 90 along
with the hat industry that there is hat for
every man. 1t just so happens, though, that
we have never yet been able to find ours.

4 \ article in national weekly newspa-
per recently pointed out that Danbury,
Connecticut, the hat city of the United
States. was concerned about hat-check girls
and the fact that men are not wearing hats
like they used to.
In fact the hat industry today makes
only 10000 felt hats a year, and this is
only about fifty per cent of the production
Of hats in the early part of this century,
before World War l.
Obviously men have drifted away from
the habit of wearing hats since World War
| because the population has increased
enormously while the production of hats
has dropped. One of the reasons for this,
although perhaps not the main reason. is
the existence of hat-check girls. which
some people in Danbury. Connecticut,
think harmful to the hat industry
To a certain extent, we think this is true
since many people feel that putting a hat
on a rack or shelf, is not a task which de-
serves financial remuneration SO. many
men Just do not wear hats and avoid the
constant requirement of tipping when they
enter a restaurant, a club or some other
establishment.

Business Outlook Good

RECENT polls of important business ex-
ecutlVes, and surveys Of corporation ex-
ecutlves, indicate most business men expect
better times in 1857.
In fact, the general opinion contrary
TO what we have suspected - is that next
year business will pick up considerably.
The average opinion among the optimjsts
Is that business will be up by at least ten
per cent and that the gross national pro-
duct will be up to something like $3.50 ,0Oo,-
100000
We are not so sure business is certain to
be better in 1857 than in 1856. However
the PRESIDENTS economic advisers also say

believe there is better conception even
among the integrationist press
Many constitutional questions remain to
be determined both by the courts, the leg
islatures and the Congress before any last

Court could we'll assist in such solution
by recognizing the sovereignty of the states
and rights of the people concer e d..
Through actions such as have been taken
in Clinton, Tenn. the federal Judges may

The lengthening shadow of racial rela-

the courts and the U. S. attorney general,
and powerful influences for a so-caled

and bitter legal and legislative battle in the
