Soil Practices At
Accident Featured
In Sos Magazine

The rewards of soil conservation
measures practiced in Accident are
the subject of an article in this
months Soil Conservation" a
magazine published by Sos and the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
I The article by Accident and
BY Design was written by Will
liam w. Mace, work unit conServa-
ZIONIST for Sos in Oakland, and
re-tells the history of Accident
which inherited its name by a
trick of fate almost two centuries
ago.
In 1851 King George II granted
600 acres of colony land in the
western part of Maryland colony
to a George Deakins in payment
of a debt, but Deakins never at
tempted to stake out his claim.
When Deakins' son William in
herited the INDICATED land in 1774,
he dispatched two survey parties
to select his tract. Neither group
knew of the other By chance the
two parties met, compared notes,
orders and reference notes and
found they were on the same mis-
sion and had by accident marked
the same area cut of all that will
derness. The tract was then patent
ed with the name Accident" to
william DeakinS in August 1774.
MIR. Mace wrote that ensuing
generations of timber clearing and
farming brought soil erosion and
related problems and that by
World War II conditions were bad.
Foster Yost, farmer and COM
munity leader, is credited with
having been largely responsible
for the change from old fashioned
soil wasting farming in the valley
to contour stripcropping recon-
mended by Soil Conservation Serv-
ice, to help tie down the soil.
| However, he was not immedi-
ately convinced that anything but
straight rows would be practical
until he and some of his neighbOrS
visited conscrvations farms in
Frederick County to view contour
strips and talk with farmers who
used them. That spring he plowed
his cropland in contour strips and
built two long diversions to help
carry excess rainWater off his
cropland. His reputation as good
farmer helped convince his neigh
bors that the new farming ideas
we're sound and they soon follow
ed his example.
Today, Mr. Mace wrote, Acct
dent is thriving dairy and beef
cattle center, which relies heavily
on soil and Water-saving practices.
Farm ponds dot the land One
large community pond supplies
emergency water for the local fire
company and recreation for the
village.
mo accident is the impressive
concentration of soil and water
conservation measures that visitors
and travellers on U. S. Highway 219
see extending up the slopes in
both directions from the town." Mr..
Mace added.

Two More Ministers Hand in designations From Canadian Cabinet

OTTAWA R- Trade Minister George Hees and acting Defense Minister Pierre Sevigny resigned from the Canadian cabinet Satur- day, saying they cannot agree with Prime Minister John Diefenbaker' defense policy.
 They were the second and third men to leave the cabinet in the dispute over whether Canadian forces should have nuclear war heads for the carriers which have been made ready for them.
 The same dispute brought down Diefenbaker's government la st week and forced new elections for April 8. The campaign is almost certain to have anti-U.S. over tones, since it was a querying statement from Washington about Canada's nuclear plans that set off the whole uproar.
 Hees and Sevigny made public their separate letters of resigna- tion by handing copies to news papermen.
 Hees, g, fourth ranking mem- Der of the Diefenbaker cabinet, said "our present defense policy does not either fulfill our national com mitments or provide for the secur- ity of our country"
 Sevigny, 45, called the govern ment's defense policy ambiguous. |"
 Both ministers said that if the April election campaign is fought on the defense issue alone it could only be anti-American, and harm full to Canada.
 Their resignations followed that of Defense Minister Douglas Hark- ness last Monday. He said he was convinced that Canadian force at home and abroad need nuclear warheads now. Sevigny repeated in his letter that he agrees with Hardness.

Conflict of Interest Law Planned For Introduction Before State House

JUNEAU R' Rep. Joseph Josephson said today he plans to introduce a conflict of interest bill which would apply to all state officials, including the judiciary and legislature.
 Josephson said the bill would require public officials to file a statement with the Department of Commerce if he, or any member of his immediate family, has a pe- cuniary interest in the outcome of any transaction with the state, or in any activity regulated by the state.
 Such activities would include holdings in the field of transpor- tation, public utilities, mining, fish and game, securities transactions, banking, insurance and the like.
 The statement would be required for any holdings of $1,000 or more. However, it would not be neces- sary to disclose the extent of fi- nancial interest, nor would it be necessary to surrender it.
 Alaska has no conflict of in terest law now," Josephson said, land actually it's not essential for Alaska as it exists today.
 "But I think that this is the time to get it on the books"
 Josephson said the statements would be kept in files, open to the public, in each of the states four judicial districts.
 'The statements would be very simple" Josephson said.
 "For example, my name is Rep. Joe Doaks. l have an interest in the Joe Doaks Helicopter Co., Gegulated by intra-Alaska air car riers and the Division of Air Commerce).
 Josephson said that under terms of proposed legislation, any person who knowingly fails to file such statement would be guilty of 8 misdemeanor.

Debutante Offers to Plead Guilty to Manslaughter
 For Death of Her Lover

BOSION R-SuZdnne Cllft, Zl, accused of the fatal shooting of her Italian-born lover, has offered to plead guilty to manslaughter and throw herself on the mercy of the court.
 The defendant related a story of blighted romance with Piero Brentani, 27, electronics engineer. His unclad body was found in her Beacon Hill apartment last Octo- Der and a grand jury indicted her on a charge of first-degree murder. Miss Gift, a society debutante, testified she was hopelessly in love with Brentani for Is months al- though he had told her he would not marry her.
 Last September, she said, doc tor told her she was pregnant.
 "I never told him because knew his feelings" she said. "He told me if I ever became pregnant, l would have to have an abortion" About the death of her lover,
  Miss Gift said she did not remem- Der anything about it.
 q don't know what happened. don't recall the shot," she said in low, restrained voice. "I did not feel or hear anything. The only thing I can recall was being in the kitchen"
 Under questioning by her attor- ney, the defendant told of trying to kill herself by slashing her wrists, attempting to brv sleeping pills for the same purpose.
 Since her arrest three days after the shooting, Miss Gift, niece of movie actor Montgomery Gift, has undergone several psychiatric tests by court order.

Attempt to Legislate Qualifications For Comm. of Education

JUNEAU R - A bill requiring the State Commissioner of Educa- tlon to have masters degree got a mixed reception in the Senate Friday before it was returned to the Rules Committee by a vote of 12-7.
 Sen. Nicholas Begich said he had sponsored the bill to correct ac- tons taken last week by the State Board of Education which, in his opinion, downgraded qualifications for the post.
 Begich told the Senate the board changed the regulation which re- quired the Commissioner of Edu- cation to have masters degree by adding the words, "or it's equival- ent in practice and experience ac- cording to the judgment of the State Board of Education"
 He said the change in regula- tions was made by the board a short time before it presented the names of four persons to the gov- ernor as it's recommendations for the post of Commissioner of Edu- cation.
 The post has been open since the resignation of Dr. Theo J. Norby last June.
 'The governor has been acting under this requirement in the ap- pointment of the last three com missioners,' Begich said, land I feel it should be retained"
 Sen. w. O. Smith argued the bill might be setting up unnecessary restrictions.
 "I think the Board of Education and the governor certainly are in a position to judge a mans quali- fications," Smith said. "A person should be considered on his indivi- dual merit regardless of what de- grees he might have"

MY HOME IN NOME

The heating stove different; It belched balmy breeze That shot straight to the ceiling And left the feet to freeze. Level frozen drain pipes Showed stupid plumber skill; Any foolish woman knows That water flows down hill. But Yankee ingenuity Ger this problem did not lag; I thawed them with hot water And an enema bag. Aside from these few drawbacks I'll no aspersious cast My palace was haven From the Arctics hoary blast. And of one thing I am certain Wherever may roam There is one spot I'll ne'er forget And that's my home in Nome.

It was a little palace Of four square walls and strong That kept me snug in day time And when the nights were long. It sat upon the permafrost And when the ground would thaw One end of it would gently gee While the other end would haW. And then the door would bind at top And leave a crack below To let within the icy wind And an inch or two of snow. The bathroom was a marvel Of the honey bucket style; One tarried not nor fingered long Upon the odors vile.
 The cooking stove was something That would make Spartan squau For when the cake was just halt baked The oven door would fall.

President Kennedy's mess
age to Congress on the labor
dispute which has threatened
a Nationwide railroad strike
is essentially fair in every re-
spect. 1t affords little COM
fort, however, to either the
unions or the railroads be-
cause it merely postpones
until a later day the final
solution of the problems in
volved. Will both sides come
to realize-as we'll as many
unions and employers in other
industries - that national
union power could be APP
preaching the end Of its
rope?
The huge cost and wide
spread injury that could re-
suit from a railroad strike
are well understood through
out the country, and the
American people are in the
mood to go along with any
solution that will spare them
such q hardship. But the
fact remains that nationally
organized labor unions now
WELD such economic power
that, to avert tragic strikes,
the Government has to step
in and do more thar merely
mediate a dispute.
For, in this instance, Con-
gress is asked to give the In
terstate Commerce Commits
sion full authority to pre-
scribe a settlement. 1t isn't
called compulsory arbitra-
ton" Yet it means an order
to both sides to take certain
steps outlined by a Govern
ment agency.
Americas economic mech
anism has grown so complex
that, under the commerce
clause Of the Constitution,
the Federal government has
been assuming that it has
the legal right to regulate
not only the transportation
industry, but also the wage
conditions and working ar
rangementS in virtually all
industries, whether OF not
they are public utilities.
From q legal and constitu-
tional viewpoint, there is no
doubt that Congress pos
sesses the power to write
laws to control the national
economy by STIMULATING the
wages and hours and work.

vail in most industries. But
