No Comment From Egan On Taylor

JUNEAU (P)-Gov. William A. Egan declined to comment on the announcement of State Rep. War ren A. Taylor (D-Fairbanks), that he is candidate for governor. Tay- Tor, speaker of the House, an- nounced his candidacy Wednesday.
 He is the first Democrat to do so. Verne O. Martin, Anchorage Republican, said Sunday he will seek the COP gubernatorial nomin- ation.
 Egan, commenting on the death of Speaker Sam Rayburn, said: "I certainly regret the fact that the nation lost the services of Sam Rayburn. I will never forget the afternoon he rose from his chair and made an off-the-cuff speech which was instrumental in getting the Alaska statehood bill before the House It was most dramatic moment"

Preliminary Planning Report Given City Plated; To Study Growth Factors

Kodiak's used land is residential.
 Both Ault and Lang emphasized the need for planning and keeping the planning simple and workable. It is to be expected, they said, that in zoning and planning, the zoning and planning commission will step on the toes of some people. The planning must be carefully studied, they said.
 Another point brought out at the meeting was that the City and out lying areas must work together in order to derive the most benefit. It was suggested the Commission invite residents from out of town to sit in on their meetings.
 Population trends and what areas of a city that may be developed, Ault said, is not done by mere gues- sing but by study of the land, what types of industry that may

Egan Against Use Seabees At Adak

JUNEAU R = The Navy plans to use Seabees for $1O million in construction work at Adak Naval Station in 1862 drew fire from Gov. William Egan.
 The Governor protested the Navy's plans in a letter to Secre- tary of the Navy Connally A copy of the letter was sent to Secretary of Labor Goldberg. Egan said he understood civilian workers would be excluded for security reasons.
 Some time ago." Egan wrote, "The Airforce dispensed with the use of military personnel on its construction projects in Alaska, and since then has relied on civil ian contractors and laborers for both construction and maintenance work. Their installations, I believe, in many instances comparable to the Navy's program with regard to the need for rigid security. It has not been brought to my atten- tion that construction work accom- plished by civilian labor on numer- ous highly secret installations in Alaska has in any way proven to be dof,.iu,optaJ fo tha security Of the United States.
 If civilian labor could be em- ployed on Aleutian work, Egan said, it would be major factor in alleviating the critical jobless situation which now prevails over most of Alaska-particularly in the Anchorage Fairbanks area where most of the States popula- tion is concentrated"

tourists way may be told by Bill Damery, marine surveyor, who has been pretty busy of late with so many boat accidents popping up all over the place.
 Bill had occasion to go to Bristol Bay last Friday. He chartered a plane, and coming back, they dropped down at Karluk as snow began coming down. They decided to get out of there, and since the storm here at Kodiak prevented them from coming here, and bad conditions at Homer, they finally wound up at King Salmon. From there he went to Anchorage, and arrived back here last Monday.

A Bit Of chority

1t would be easy to condemn
Margery MichelmOre because she
stepped on the sensitive toes OF
Nigrians by criticizing their coun-
try. Critics of the Peace Corps may
pOunce on this occurrence as evil
dence of the boobytraps inherent
in an organization composed large
ly of young men and women sent
on a delicate mission-tO spread
good will and give assistance in
underdeveloped countries.
But before this girl is criticized
too severely we would do well to
show a bit of Christian charity.
Neither she nor the Peace Corps
should be condemned out of hand.
The card she intended for a friend
was not written in a spirit of ridi-
cule or malice. What stirred the
ire of Ibadan University students
was that it mentioned the squalid
and primitive living conditions, a
situation unfortunate but true.
Nigerian leaders understand how
such a thing can happen. They
want the Peace Corps to continue
its work. 1t will do so. And other
members of this group will be able
to profit by the incident.

Nenssiek Frypans
Mol<e Marker Debut

II you don't like the taste of
greasy fried foods, you'll welcome
tho new nonstick, greasless fry
pans. Frances Shoffner, SUISSE 4
county home agent, says the new
frypans have resin coating which
prevents foods from sticking as
they cook.
The success Of nonstick frypans
may depend on how all home
makers follow the manufacturers 8
directions. For example, there are
some indications that continued
high temperatures cause the resin
finish to change composition and
break down. Manufacturers recon-
mend using only moderate top
range temperatures.
II the resin coating becomes
cracked, the frypan may lose its
nonsticking qualities. Miss ShOff-
ner warns against using m t a
scraping utensils or securing pads.
They may harm the protective res
in coating. Usually a wooden spat-
ula or spoon comes with the fry
pan when you buy it. This should
be used at all times. Warm sOapy
water and cloth will clean any
Of the new frypans They don't re-
Quire hard securing with coarse

Health And Safety Tips
From The American
Medical Association

Feeling tired lately? Hungry and
thirsty all the time? Losing
weight? Aches and pains in the
fingers and toes? You might have
diabetes.
OF course, you could have these
symptoms and not have diabetes
at all. 1t might be something else
Or, you could have diabetes and
not have any of these symptoms
Onl., your physician can tell for
SURE.
The American Diabetes Associa-
ton tells us that about 1885, ,000
Americans are walking around
with diabetes and don't know it
There are another 100000 dia-
betics who have been diagnosed
and are under medical care. AL
most all of these folks are lead
ing fairly normal lives. It's those
of us who have undetected dia-
betes that are the major concern

AS Long AS It's
Growing, Keep Moving

The beautiful fall weather has
prolonged lawn chores for many
Delaware home owners, according
to George Vapaa, Kent county a
gent. In a normal season the lawn
mower would have been stored and
lawn forgotten by now.
Unusually. warm weather has
kept grass growing, and it should
be cut the agent warns. Many peo-
pie let grass grow taller in the
tall thinking it will be in better
shape to stand winter tempera-
lures. This idea is wrong he says.
Grass that is allowed to grow
higher in the fall is actually more
susceptible to "snOw mold" injury
than grass cut at normal height.
Follow your normal moving pat
tern, Mr.. Vapaa advises. II the
lawn keeps growing you should
keep moving. Shorter moving, or
allowing it to grow taller actually
results in less resistance to win
ter's hazards.
It's a good idea to remove leaves
throughout the fall period to pre-
vent smOthering the grass. Don't
burn the leaves; place them on a
compost pile as a future source of
organic matter for flowers and
shrubs.
Milford chronicle., 1961-11-17

The most likely targets tor d1A-
betes are persons who are related
to diabetes, because the disease
is hereditary. Other likely candd-
dates are persons who are over
weight or past 40 years OF age.
Women past 4v are more likely to
contract diabetes than men.
Diabetes can't be cured, but 1t
can be controlled, by diet, exer-
else, and, when necessary, by In
[sulin. Neglect OF diabetes can lead
to all sorts of complications, such
as heart disease, failing eyesight,
hardening of the arteries. kidney
disorders, gangrene, cerebral hem
orrhage or diabetic coma.
There are simple tests to deter
mine sugar content of the urine.
II the tests show too much sugar,
the physician usually then follows
up with blood test for glucose
tolerance. The best approach is to
call your family doctor and teA
him you want your whole family
to have the diabetes test. He'll
tell you what to do thereafter.
The diabetes tests are easy and
painless. Don't take chance on
undetected diabetes

Get Those Vehicles
Inspected At Once

Motor vehicles, operating with
exempt registrations, should be in
spected during the present month,
according to Motor Vehicle Com
missioner Russell Whitby, in order
not to interfere with the inspection
of other motor vehicles during
December.
Mr.. Whitby pointed out that
there are more than 2,400 OF these
exempt registrations in operation,
belonging to various governmental
agencies, fire companies and vet
eran organizations.
All of the exempt registrations
expire on December 31st, accord
ing to Mr.. Whitby, who added that
they must be inspected before the
registration can be renewed.
But, said Mr.. Whitby, "the
records show that there are a
large number of state, county and
municipal owned vehicles still to
be inspected"
The Motor Vehicle Commissioner
said that if it was desired to have
some of these vehicles, such as
fire trucks, inspected on their
premises, arrangements for that
inspection should be made with
the inspection lane in the county
where the vehicles are located.
Concerning the inspection OF
motor vehicles with December 31st
registration expiration, Mr.. Whit
by said they are visiting the in
spection lanes at very slow rate
with the indications being that
there will be large number OF
these vehicles to be inspected
during December.
Motor Vehicle Department rec
ords show that there are a total
of 51,68O motor vehicles having
registrations expiring on Decem-
Der 31st, with 1,133 being in Kent
County, 8,431 in Sussex, 29,168 in
New Castle and 2,498 exempt.

Delaware Food Market
Report
By ANNE HOIBERTON
Agricultural Extension Service
University Of Delaware

All kinds of meat are in gen.
erous supply. Poultry selections
- turkeys, ducks and brOilers =
are priced lower than a year ago.
Pork prices have edged down at
the retail level Beef continues to
be plentiful.
Many of you will be buying
your Thanksgiving turkey this
weekend, so plan ahead. Most
turkeys sold at the grocery stores
now are frozen, so when you buy
them make sure you think ahead.
Be sure you allow enough time
for thawing A turkey which is
thawed cooks more uniformly and
| it is much easier to stuff with
dressing.
Turkeys take from / to 4 days
to thaW in the refrigerator, de-
lpending upon the size of the bird.
The bigger the turkey, the more
time you need to allow. A 4 to 10
pound bird will require l to days,
a 20 to "a pound one, 8 to 4 days.
Vegetable bins are brimming
over with many good selections,
as larger shipments from southern
areas combine with nearby sup
plies. Cabbage, cauliflower, broc-
coli, Brussels sprouts, Eastern
onions and potatoes, sweet pota-
toes and acorn, butternut and
hubbard squash are among the
most plentiful vegetables. But
with weekend specials the follow
ing vegetables are also excellent
buys. Carrots, beets, artichokes,
celery, cucumbers, eggplants, let
tuce, spinach and mushrooms
A greater variety of fruits are
available this weekend. Two un
usual fruits, pomegranates and
persimmons, are reasonably
priced. Both are in season and at
peak supply, so do try them. Ap-
pies, avocados, cranberries, pears,
lines, oranges, grapefruit and
bananas are all abundant and
prices are low to medium Plenti-
full grape varieties include Thomp-
son Seedless, Ribeers, and En-
perOrs.
Egg prices have declined again.
Both large and medium Grade A
eggs are 4 to s cents a dozen
cheaper and approximately IL
cents below last years prices.
Remember when buying eggs, Sc
lect those that are refrigerated
since the grade goes down after
the eggs have been at room tenn
lperature a day or so.
