4-H'ers To Assist
In Farm Census

When the census taker Knocks
on the door of a All farm fam
lily this fall he can be pretty
sure that the younger members
of the household had a hand in
rounding up the required in
formation, stated Norman C.
Mindrum, director, N ati o n a |
Committee on Boys and Girls
Club Work, Chicago, Illinois.
Answers will be needed to
questions involving number of
acres in crops or pasture; kind
and number of livestock and
poultry; inventory of farm equip
ment; kind and quantities of
farm products pro d u C e d and
sold; cost of gasoline and oil;
breakdown of man-hours spent
on and off the farm.
Keeping accurate records in
relation to All project work is
a must" for club members, so
they learn early how to 60 a.
bout gathering statistics relating
to production, costs, sales and
the like. AS a matter of fact,
the All record book is an i'm
portant item in Judging annual
All award winners, Mr.. Min
drum said.
Most Alters throughout the
county have had considerable
experiences in keeping tabs on
farm operation and personal ac-
tivities while successfully full
filling the requirements of All
programs in achievement, lead
ership, and community service,
according to the Cooperative
Extension Service which directs
the work.
Members who do an outstand-
ing job in these areas look for
ward to competing for one of
several awards provided each
year by leading business enter
prises and public-spirited citi-
zens. Awards for achievement
are given by the Ford Motor

Frear Attending
Economic Talks
In Polish Capital

United States Senator ]. AL
len Frear is in Warsaw, Poland,
attending the annual meeting of
the Inter-Parliamentary Union.
Mr.. Frear left the United States
Saturday morning by plane, but
will return later this week to
Washington.
The Delaware lawmaker is
participating in the internation-
al conclave as an official dele
gate of the United States-a
position he has held for the past
several years.
In his weekly statement pre-
pared just prior to his depar-
ture, Senator Frear expressed
regret at the necessity to be
absent from the Senate during
the time when important votes
may occur. However, he en-
phasized that for the first time
the Conference is taking place
behind the Iron Curtain This
fact, coupled with the location
of the Conference in Warsaw
indicates that the Iron Curtain
representatives will endeavor to
emphasize to the fullest possible
extent the power and prestige
of the Soviet empire.
'In view of the status of Po
land at the present time" MIR
Frear added, 81 feel it especial
ly necessary to take part in at
least some of the Conference
sessions, hoping that they will
help to further encourage anc
support the interests of the Po

National Flower
To Be Selected
In October Vote

During the month of October,
Delawareans, regardless of age,
will have an opportunity to vote
in a most unique election ad-
vises the Delaware State DeveI-
opment Department.
This election, according to the
state information agency, does
MT involve a single campaign
speech or expenditure of one
cent of public funds. This is
undoubtedly due to the fact that
Delawareans, along with resi-
dents of the other 40 states, will
be voting for flowers-not peo-
pie.
For the past forty years, mem
bers of Congress have attempt
ed to settle upon one flower as
the National Flower. Inasmuch
as Congressman, like most 9TH
er folks, are partial to those
things found in abundance in
their home states, variety of
flowers have been proposed as
the Nations Floral Emblem.
During the current session of
Congress, the rose, marigold,
black-eyed susan, carnation and
Shasta daisy, as well as corn
tassel and plain old ordinary
grass, have been the subjects
of bills introduced for. the pur-
pose of designating a National
Flower.
Early next year, members of
Congress will have access to the
broadest a m pling of public
opinion ever undertaken when
results of the National Flower
Election are made known to
them. While they won't be OBJ
ligated to designate the polls
No. l choice as the National
Flower, it is quite possible that
appropriate legislation, based on
the choice of a majority OF
those who participated in Oc-
tober's Flower Election, may
follow.
Anyh o w-the Development
Department feels that all Della
wareans should be made ac'
quainted with the fact that they
can participate in the nation
wide balloting and, in so doing
possibly influence the choice Of
a floral emblem for these Unit
ed States.

Members of the Home Arts Club, Women's Federation Club, enjoyed a talk by Mayor Steffen Andersen on Civilian Defense.
 It was explained that civilian defense is no longer organized on a national basis with all planning being conducted at the nations capitol, but is being placed on a local level, with each community responsible for it's own survival in the event of war or catastrophe. Andersen stated that Nome could be completely isolated, should there be a surprise attack, for a lengthy period of time. and some plan should be formulated to meet that emergency.
 It was also disclosed that a technician is being trained to study radioactive substance in this area.

High School Band Trip To Festival
 Planned By P-TA

The fund raising has started for the purpose of sending the Nome High Scholo Band to the Music Festival in Anchorage in late April.
 This fund has commenced with a $5 contribution which was given in the spirit of sharing, by the students of the 2nd Grade class taught by Mrs. Evelyn Langhus.
 Last week at the P-TA meeting, this room was given $20 prize for having the most parents pres ent for three meetings. These little second-graders had lots of ideas on how to spend their prize money, but were more than will ing to give one-fourth of it to the School Band so that they might particate, like other Alaskan school bands, in the annual school'festival.
 Thirty-three students in the band are eligible to participate in the festival, which is being held this year in Anchorage.
 The P-TA has several projects lined up to raise the money for the transportation of the group, which will be housed by the An chorage schools. Nome is the only school in the state with a good band that has not shared in this big annual event. Music Director, William Bixby stated at the last P-TA meeting that the Nome School Band is well qualified to compete, and will soon be working on the festival music, which is played in ensemble during the festival. The group will also parti- pate competitively in instrumental groupings.
 P-TA president Roscoe Wilke announced today that Jim Blan- ming and Dorothy Young will be 'co-chairmen for the fund-raising events and will formulate the plans for the trip.
