LEWES

Progress being made in the
equipment of the present Lewes
Library in the spacious new Lewes
Town Hall building was related be-
fore the Lewes Rotary Club re-
Gently by Mrs. Raymond R. Atkins,
secretary of the Lewes Library
Commission.
Mrs. Atkins was presented by
Rotarian Emory B. Birmingham,
lieutenant on the Lewes Police
force and program chairman. She
told of the sources of revenue and
funds still being needed for new
furnishings and equipment OF the
library annex built as a unit OF
the Town Hail. The first benefit
affair toward this project was a
book revue coffee on November 2,
in Bethel Fellowship Hall, which
raised a sum of $125.00. For new
shelving to take care of the IL
brary's some 5000 volumes, she
said the town commissioners had
borrowed $2,40000, and this is ex-
pected to be paid back by other
benefit affairs and individual do
nations.
A Friends of Lewes Society was
recently formed to assist W it'd
raising funds of which Mrs
Nathaniel H. Evans was the NOV,
ing spirit. Mrs. Atkins said it is
hoped to have the shelving in
stalled in the near future when
the town library will again be open
to the public. For several weeks
it has been inactive since the
books were removed from the 2nd
floor of the Zwaanendael Museum
The original quarters had been IL
operation as a Memorial Library
since the Zwaanendael House was
dedicated in 1892. Prior to that
small libraries were set up in var
ious locations around town. ;.

BUTTE CONTAINS FOSSILS

FOSSIL, Wyo. up = Efforts are
under way to establish a national
monument here commcmoratlng
what may be the best fish fossil
bed in the world.
State geaologist Horace D. Tho
mas said the 700-foot butte which
contains the fossils once was at
least 1000 feet under water. Dead
fish settled at the bottom and
were left undisturbed because
scavenger fish could not live in
srch deep water. The fish were
then buried in countless layers OF
mud.
Some fish extracted from the
butte are believed to have lived 50
million years ago at the beginning
of the mammal age. One OF the
extracted fish was bought by Els
'enhower last year as a gift for
Japanese Emperor Hirohito.

JFK Signs Into Law Remainder of Aid To Education Bill

WASHINGTON R = President Kennedy has signed into law with extreme reluctance a bill containing the remains of his aid to education program.
 The measure: CD Extends for two years the program of aid for school districts crowded with children of federal personnel and @ Continues for two years the national defense education act.
 The former, known as the im- pacted areas program, carries about $500 million year in US. grants. The Defense Education Act, which provides loans to col lege students and aids to teach ing of science, mathematics and foreign languages, has been cost ing about $250 million year.
 It was all Congress granted the President of the ambitious federal aid to education program he pro- posed this year.
 Kennedy last night vetoed bill that would have given $60.8 mil lion year in pay raises to 56O,- 900 postal workers through quick CT longevity increases.
 In veto memorandum Ken nedy said, ''budgetary needs are too urgent to permit approval of this measure unattended by reve- nue increases"
 In signing the education meas ure, Kennedy said in a statement:
 "It ill becomes those who in- sist that we cannot afford the expenditure of federal funds to aid public education of all chil- dren to insist with equal fervor upon the passage of this unsound and uneconoInical measure which aids the education of only some"

Defense Building in Arctic Prevents Natures IcebOx from Thawing

A defense building in Arctic Alaska is built on refrigerators with the idea of preventing na- ture's icebox from thawing.
 A pier foundation for the build ing has built-in refrigerants de signed to prevent frozen ground from thawing.
 Army engineers specified piers for the foundation of a radome structure that stands three stories high on a headland west of the Eskimo town of Kotzebue located north of the Arctic Circle on the coast of the Chulxchi Sea. The ra- dome was built this year to sup piement facilities of the Kotze- bue Air Force Station.
 The site is situated in a perma- frost area which extends over large areas of northern Alaska Per1nafrost designates layer of subsoii that doesn't thaw in the summer as long as Insulating cover of tundra is not disturbed. The tundra insulates the frozen ground preventing it from thaw- ing in way similar to the way that sawdust-insulated ice kept from melting in the summer at ld-fashioned icehouses. Once the cover is removed the permafrost thaws rapidly in the summer.
 Construction in permafrost has been haanpercd in the past be- cause of the difficulty in estab- fishing firm foundations.

 Declining BIA Post
By Fritz Witti

WASHINGTON lR = The Blu reau of Indian Affairs began looking yesterday for some else to become it's Alaska's Area Di- rector after State Sen. Frank Peratrovich of Alaska turned down the job.
 Peratrovich, President of the Alaska Senate, said he was de- clining the offer because he found fundamental policy differences between himself and Interior De- pertinent officials on how Alaska operations should be conducted.
 Philleo Nash, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, confirmed that Peratrovich had been offered the job and declined. He said the Bu- reau is now considering number of others for the post since the Alaskan decided not to take it.
 Nash had no comment on the differences referred to by Pera- trovich, whom he termed "a very fine and outstanding man."
 The Bureau would like to make use of his services as consultant in the future. Nash added.
 James Hawkins, present Area Director stationed at Juneau is being called to Washington for consultations, possibly next week, said Nash.
 There will be a new Alaska Area Director, he said, but it will not be Hawkins, who is to be re- assigned. He declined to discuss the other persons under con sideration.
 Peratrovich announced his de- cision through the office of Sen E. L. Bartlett and then left for Seattle, enroaite to Alaska. In Seattle, Peratrovich said hs offered fivc-point program un der which he would take the DO sition.
 But he said he was told n
 other area had that sort of privil ege. so neither could Alaska. Peratrovich said he considere, the five points necessary for sue cessful operation of the area of flee. He listed them as: The chance to fill a vacancy il the Education Department of ssihi. Juneasi office of the Indian Btu reau.

Banning Sale Of Silver Brings Outcrys from Users
By San, Dawson

NEW YORK M Silver a commodity or d backing for money? And what price silver?
 Today the metal is under a spotlight perhaps more intense than at any time since the days of Jennings Bryan's cry for 16- to-1 status for silver.
 AS a commodity, silver has been teetering on the edge of short supply Miners say it's official price has been too low to en- courage sufficient output. Users wanted the price held down.
 AS backing for paper money it supports scsne g billion of paper currency, all $1 bills and some $2, $5 and $l0 bills, known as silver certificates, and it cir culates as coins.
 President Kennedy has order ed the Treasury to stop selling it at begged rate of 91.5 cents an ounce. He also wants the silver certificates replaced gradually by federal reserve notes = now the most widely used form of folding money.
 That makes miners happy, and many others in states where min ing activity may perk up. It makes users unhappy, although many agree it seemed inevitable
 Some silver dealers here say the price might jump above $1 an ounce, now that the Treasury isn't selling it at what they call bargain rates.
 Commercial use of silver has been growing while production of silver has been dropping.
 It goes into jewelry and silver ware. But use has been soaring for photographic film and cleo tronics equipment, for use in mis- siles, in organic chemistry, even food preservation, and for cleo trical circuits in such appliances as TV sets and radios. Supplies have grown tighter be cause much silver output wes closed down, miners saying they couldn't operate profitably at the legal price - 9O.5 cents an ounce the Treasury psid for their metal.
 The gap between demand and supply in this country has been bridged by the US. Treasury selling part of it's supply. At the start of the year the Treasury had 1885 million ounces not tied up as backing fer currency. The steady commercial demand has whittled that down to 22 million ounces.
 Now commercial users must look to the world market where prices seem bound to rise, even if they fluctlla4e widely for time.
 American silver producers = and those in other lands con- tend that expected higher price fer the metal will start up pro duction in mines now idle.
 With more production, they argue, the metal will come back to adequate supply and the price will be stable.
 Big users aren't 90 happy. East man Kodak uses nearly 28.5 mil- lion ounces a year to make silver nitrate for its films. It has tried to build up stoclnpile, wishes it could have got more.
 Some users are philosophical about it. At the rate the Treasury stockpile was dwindling, there wouldn't have been much left in t anyway, even if the President hadn't acted.
