mOnitOring equipment consisting
of gas masks and three survey
Instruments. The latter includes
a geiger counter and two more
detection instruments designed to

During the training course here
this week the fledgling monitors

Department of Health, assisted
with this phase Of the training.
Widmer brought with him

ton from Cobalt 60 is sufficient
for good training purposes. but
not enough to endanger students.

Fund Encouraging"
Meanwhile foundation spokes-
man reported today that contri-
buttons to its scholarship fund are
coming in at a rapid pace. Han
bury said the initial response has
been ''enc0uraging."
The foundation launched a
statewide appeal Monday for
funds to establish a continuing
scholarship fund to aid parents
who may not be able to pay the
private school tuition.
The scholarship fund was
turned to by the foundation in
order to continue to offer its edu-
cational opportunities to all white
children in the county following
Judge Oren R. Lewis decision
ruling out county and state tu-
ition grants and tax credits in
Prince Edward as long as the
public schools remain closed.
Negro Plans
The status of the Prince Ed
ward County Christian Associa-
tons training centers remained
indefinite this week in the wake
of current school developments.
The Rev. L. F. Griffin, head of
the association and a special con-
sultant to the NAACP. said. I'VE
are sitting on training center
plans until we see what hap
pens. He said that if they were
reopened they would be run on
a more systematic basis this
year.
Efforts to place some of the
Negro children in schools else
where are being made by the
American Friends Service Com
mittee which placed AZ children
in schools out of the state last
year. Miss Jean Fairfax, regional
director for the AFSC, said she
did not know how many children
they would be able to place at
this late date.
Also. a citizens committee has
been formed in Washington,
DC, to help Negro children get a
education. Hans Furth of the
Catholic Interracial Council said
tuesday the independent COM
mittee has been formed to locate
foster homes where about 20
youngsters might live while at
tending schools.
Furth said the group, known
as Citizens Committee To Help
Educate A Prince Edward County
Child will try to place some of
the children in parochial schools
on a tuition-free basis. Commit
tee representatives were to meet
with parents in Farmville Thurs
day to explain the plan.
Furth also said other students.
all of elementary age, could be
placed in public schools where
they are required by local poll
cies to pay tuition ranging from
$500 to $500 a year. The COM
mittee plans to collect money to
pay tuition if foster parents can
not afford to foot the bill them
selves.

Week Long Revival
It was the first night Of a week
long revival. Mrs. w. H. O'Neal,
wife of the visiting minister, said
1t was the most horrifying ex-
perlence she had ever witness
ed. She was not hurt.
1t was said that if the full i'm

Pastors Comment
Mr. O'Neal was a former
pastor here. He said that the
people felt that it was only the
protecting hand of God which
kept this from being stark
tragedy and they are all thank
full that no one was seriously
injured, and that he only trusts
that this will draw all Of them un-
to Him. and that he will continue
to use this week of revival to
bring out people in this commu-
nifty into a closer relationship
to Christ.

Fraud

A recently published book
let aimed at preventing skull
duggery at the polls has be-
come such a top political
best seller it has already gone
into its fifth printing.
The 12-page booklet which
for the first time in political
history presents a practical,
comprehensive set of elec-
tion anti-fraud rules, was
prepared in the Women's
Division of the Republican
National Committee under
the direction of the Assistant
Chairman, Clare B. Williams.
Published only a month
ago, the publication entitled
Are You a Shadow Voter?'"
exposes irregular practices by
political bosses and offers de-
tailed non-partisan advice
for the voters protection.
Response has been heavy
from Republicans and Dem
ocrats alike as well as inde-
pendent voters. The COP
National Committee was so
swamped with requests that
three days after the book
let's release, the first run Of
$4,000 copies was exhausted.
The Fair Campaign Prac-
tices Committee, a nonpar-
tisan organization, ordered
copies for distribution in so
states.
Plans are now underway to
translate the booklet into a
movie. Two angels" who
p asked to remain unidentified
for the present, have begun
to raise funds to film Are

State To Pay Extended JobIess Benefits

The local office of the Alaska State Employment Service began taking claims for the new temp orary unemployment benefits on Monday, April 10.
 Johnson said jobless Alaska workmen who have exhausted their regular state unemployment com- pensation benefits should contact their local employment office to determine if they qualify for the federal program which pays ex- tended benefits for up to 13 addi- tional weeks.
 In general, Johnson said work men will qualify now for the tenn porary extended unemployment benefits if they have exhausted their state unemployment benefits since June 30 of last year, are still unemployed, meet the require ments of the state unemployment compensation law and are not dis qualified. Under the program such Alaskan workmen may draw up to 13 additional weeks of compensa- tion at the same rate as the state benefits drawn originally. In ad- dition, under terms of the program workmen who exhaust their state benefits between now and April l, 1862 will be eligible to draw tenn porary benefits.
 Also of interest to claimants is the fact that no waiting period is

Banker Heads Navy League

 Lou Veerman, secretary for the past year, was elected to the office of vice-president. The office of sec retary-treasurer went to John Trent.
 Following review of the years activities by the president and committee heads, the group was ad- dressed by Rear Adm. H. H. Cald- well, Commandant of the 17th Naval District.
 Despite the space age in which we are now living, Adm. Caldwell pointed out, there is still a need for the foot soldier, the men who man the ships, and the Air Force. More specifically, he cited the great strides made by the Navy in it's Polaris program. Subs equipped with Polaris, he said form an i'm mense strategic factor in striking power
 ''The Kodiak naval station" Adm. Caldwell pointed out," is important. Both Kodiak and Adak bases are so located as to effec- lively serve as watchdogs of ship ping" He stressed the importance of this even in peace time.
 Kodiak" he said, lis important as submarine base. Though in- active now, we have the facilities here, which can be activated in hurry"
 The Admiral pointed out the inn portance of Kodiak as supply arm for the Coast Guard. "Only re- gently we witnessed the import ance of this branch of the service to Kodiak" he said Adm. Caldwell spoke highly of the Marine Corps, which he said was another branch of the service which was served by the Navy installation here.
 He touched on the importance of ACONA, the Navy Leagues ad- visory group which works directly with Navy authorities in an area to iron out any differences that may arise. He cited instances where they have been of real help in certain areas. Adm. Caldwell called on greater participation by the League members in the observance of Armed Forces Day in May.
