CALIFORNIA; fashion indus

Anchor Point Snow Festival Set Saturday

anchor Points annual Snow Festival celebration has been re- duced to one day only this year due to insufficient snow coverage to hold all events scheduled for a three day weekend.
 This Saturday, Feb. 9, has been set for the weight pulls, begin ming at 1 pm; the Snow Flake Ball, beginning at 9:30 pm. with live music, and the Queen Coro- nation ceremony to take place at midnight at the dance. Awards to winning contestants in the weight pulls will be made at this time also.
 Dick Iverson, president of the Anchor Point Sled Dog and Rae ing Assoc, Inc, said that Anchor Point was practically barren of snow until Thursdays snow fall, which was not enough to warrant re-scheduling the dog sled races for this weekend.
 If it should continue to snow before Saturdays events begin, the afternoon program will prob ably include snowshoe races and skijoring, Iverson said.

Recreati0n-C Conservation Work on Moose Range Adds New Payroll to Area

Pay checks and public works are the objectives of the Accel- erated Public Works law which is materially boosting the econo- my of the Kenai Peninsula with the recreation and conservation program now underway on the kenai National Moose Range. The program is designed to provide immediate useful work in areas where unemployment is prob lem.
 The Kenai National Moose Range, Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, was the recipient of $200,00o under the Presidents Accelerated Public Works Pro gram, with the grant specifically indicated for recreation and con- servation activities.

But they often begin Won

This Friendship Developed
Into a Successful Business

Bob Blum and Chet Cowen
have been friends all their
lives.
But after completing
school, they drifted apart.
Bob became a salesman and
Chet worked in his fathers
clothing store.
Then two years ago, they
attended the same party. 1t
turned out to be a turning
point in their lives. While
they we're talking, Chet dis
covered that Bob shared his
interest in land development.
That's when they decided
to form a partnership and
build houses.
First they built "a homes in
Fernwood Forest off Bradley
boulevard in Bethesda. The
homes sold quickly and they
began looking for more land
to develop.
The young partners found
what they were looking for
in a heavily wooded 68-acre
tract on Seven Locks road be-
tween River road and Brad
ley boulevard in Bethesda.
They named it Lockwood.
They employed engineers
and site planners to design
the community so the lots
would average half an acre.
Eighteen acres were left for
parkland and the streets
we're laid out so there would
be no through traffic.

Whether it will slacken next
year or not, we don't know.
But everybody is optimistic"
That's why their firm, like
many others in the area, has
outlined ambitious construc-
ton programs for the year.
They take steps, of course, to
assure success regardless of
the market.

ents we look for when we
plan any job" says Mr.. Wag-
man. They are location, To-
cation and location" AS Mr..

wood with a catered dinner

LIVE CHRISTMAS TREES
are often preferred by families
who own their own homes. Some
families add new tree to their
landscaping plan each year this
way, and at the same dms have
an attractive tree each Christ
mas.
While the evergreen is serv-
ing as a Christmas tree, 1t
should be kept as cool as pos
sible. 1t should be we'll water
ed, but should not be allowed
to stand In water.
After Christmas, put the tree
in a garage or cool room for
about week to let it "harden"
for outdoor life. After plant
ing, water it well again.
Because the ground may be
frozen and hard to dig after
Christmas, it's a good idea to
dig the hole for the tree now
and keep a bushel of soil in
the basement to prevent freez-
ing. When planting the tree out
doors, use this soil to fill in
the hole, and add another six
inches of mulch around the
tree to prevent freezing and
thawing.

Proper Exercise Makes

Many homemakers, too, find

proper exercise In the right
amounts can help you feel and
look much better. To do this,
it isn't necessary to rush into

tent exercise help the body to

The best kind of exercise is
the kind that takes very little

hausted. One such method is ex-
planned In a recent University
of Delaware extension publica-
zion entitled ''Stay Young

X. Morris, extension home

several exercises which can be
done while homemaker goes

dition to explaining how to look

compnshing this.

BEET SUGAR production inter-

The hearings presently going on

groups representing at least
twenty five states from 33 pro-

Your county agent spent last

plant. Eight senator's and rep
resentatives from the Congress

RADIOACTIVITY is nothing
new. It's as old as the earth;
much older than man. All living
things are continuously being
bombarded by small amounts
of harmless natural radiation.
Nothing can destroy radioactive
ity except time and its own de-
cay.
Although radioactivity is old
stuff, fallout is modern term
to describe a modern threat.
1t requires modern knowledge
and modern protection. After a
nuclear explosion, radioactive
fall would give off a form of
energy alledgamma rays. This
is a kind of invisible light to
which all materials, including
the human body, are partly
transparent. Overexposure to
these rays can make you sick
or kill you. The only way to
protect yourself from fallout
is to get as much shielding as
possible between you and it.
Everyone needs shelter from
radioactive fallout because no
one knows how many or what
targets an enemy might strike
and no one knows where the
winds might carry the fallout.
Get the facts and make your
emergency preparedness plans
now.
A shelter needn't be elegant,
only safe. You should be ready
to take advantage of the best
shelter available at all times. In
event of surprise attack, most
people won't know even approx
imately how much radiation
they've been exposed to. Only
those who go into an adequate
shelter before fallout arrives,
and stay there, can be sure of
escaping radiation sickness.
A few hours and a little money
may be all it will take to build
fallout protection into part of
your home. That's a small price
to pay for survival insurance.
All county agents in Delaware
have copies of ''Your Family
Survival Plan" and "Your Farm
Preparedness Plan," and are
ready to help you make your
plans now.

given with hand pick up-by

it. The Crawford system uses
seven instead of is people to
pick up third of an acre per
hour. But 1t takes only "a man.

as against As hours for the

machine picked up twice as
much dirt as hand picking in

If you think agriculture Is
just for men, you may get an
argument from Miss Theodore
Wang, a junior in the Univer-
sity of Delaware's School of
Agriculture.
Not only has Miss Wang in
vaded a predominantly male
population, but she has achieved
distinguished record of merit
In her chosen field. Now In her
third year of studies, Miss
Wang is a Deans List student,
and the top student majoring
in horticulture, according to DR..
Charles w. Durham, her ad-
visor and a professor of hor-
ticulmre.
Teddy, as she is known to
her friends, is not a bookish
female. Her out-of-class ac-
tiWties include membership In
Beta Beta Beta, the national
biological honorary society,
dormitory activities and work
on the business staff of the
University of Delaware year
book, "The Blue Hen.
AS one of six female STU
dents in a School of Agricul-
ture enrolment of 200, Teddy
doesn't mind being out-num-
bered by the men, and she
notes that the men don't seem
to mind the girls, either, ex-
cept to complain that there
aren't enough of them.
Plants have always been of
special interest to Teddy, who
relates that a high school bio
logy course added to her de-
sire to continue learning about
what plants are and how they
function.
Choosing to attend a state
university near her home in
Tenafly. New Jersey, Teddy
could have gone to Penn State
or Rutgers. She chose the Uni
versity of Delaware because
of its smaller size and the
promise of better contacts with
professors. 81 didn't want to
get lost in the crowd, or be-
come a number attached to a

cellent academic record, she
surely won't get lost In any
crowd, even after her school
days are completed. She plans
to attend graduate school, and
hopes to do research on plants
