New Classroom Addition Put Into Use al SoIdotna, Faculty Staff Increased

Last Wednesday, Feb. 6, was a great day for IF children in Sol dotna, according to Charley Grif- fin, Soldotna School superinten- dent. It was moving day.
 Students formerly housed in four temporary classrooms in the basement of the Central Peninsu- Ia Clinic building and the M. L. Grange building back of the Clin- ic gathered up books, lunch buck cts and othar possessions and moved into the bright new class rooms recently completed as part of the main school building.
 The new six-classroom addi- ton, with the F and w Construc- tino Go. as contractors and Cliff Johnson in charge, was completed ahead of the Feb. 15 schedule.
 The Soldotna School now has 12 classrooms, all of which are occupied, and an enrolment of $40 students.

The reactor is called SNAP-8.
1t is the first to be built and

The California tests involved
the reactor only, the Acc said.
Later tests will involve both

Mr.. NaSSer had flown to

Mr.. Chou's response was. for

African neutralists.
Nod to Independents

NUMISMATIC
NOTES
Indian Heuds--3

From 1865 to 1909, all In
dian head cents were made
in bronze and with an "L."
In 1865 cents were made in
large quantity. But from
1866 through 1879, annual
issues were cut back consid-
erably.
None of the dates in this
14-year period 6-1870
are common and some truly
scarce. The hardest to find
and most valuable Of all In
dian heads is the 1877. Only
852,500 pieces we're issued
that year, the smallest an
nual number since 1921.
Cents dated 1872 and 1871
are scarce with those of 1870,
1869, 1876 and 1873 being
moderately so.
From 1880 through 1907
cents again we're minted in
volume with those dated
1885, 1886, 1894 being less
plentiful than other years.
The Indian head cents Of
1908 and 1909 require special
attention. From 1893 through
1907, all United States cents
were issued at Philadelphia.
But in 1908 the minting Of
cents was started at San
Francisco (about IL million
pieces, such coins being
identified by a small as" on
the very bottom of the re-
verse. In 1909, the final year,
only 100000 Indian head
IS" cents were made. With
the 1908-S bringing a nice
premium and the 1909-S In
dian head being second to
the 1877 date in value, any
accumulation Of late-date
Indian head cents should be
examined carefully for the
IS" mint mark.
Varieties and oddities
among Indian head cents do
occur but seldom have price
significance. In 1885, the
diverse legend was shifted
slightly making two varieties.
Cents Of 1866 and 1859 are
known with the last numeral
recut. The cents of 1878 ap-
pear with either open or
closed 3's. Some cents of
1867 have the last two num-
erals recut. A few cents Of
1888 have a discernible ex-
ira 8 making the date read
1888, yet little attention is
paid to the above varieties.
The one true overdate,
1898 % over 81, however,
is popular and commands a
decided premium over other
1869 cents. But caution is
. urged in purchase Of the
1898 cent since many 1869
cents with recut 9 are sold
as genuine overdates.

Alliance for Progress Stamp
To Be Part Of Joint Issue
BY BELMONT FAIRIES
Star Stamp Ec'tor

The United States will is
sue a stamp honoring the
Alliance for Progress on Au-
gust II. All members of the
Organization Of American
States except Cuba will be
invited to do the same.
Postmaster General Day an
nounced the United States
commemorative last Tuesday
at a meeting in Miami Beach
with Central American postal
officials. At the request of
Secretary of State Rusk he
asked postal chiefs of Costa
RIGA, Ell Salvador, Honduras,
Nicaragua, Panama and the
Canal Zone to participate in
the Joint issue.
Similar invitations will be
sent through the Organiza-
ton of American States to
other nations which are
members Of the Alliance for
Progress.
The August II date Of issue
for the United States stamp
is the second anniversary of
the signing of the Charter of
Punta del Este at the Uru-
quay conference officially
setting up the broad 10-year
program for hemisphere eco
nomic and social Develop
ment, financed in large part
by American foreign aid
funds.
The GAS stamp proposal
includes art contests in each
country for the selection of
designs. Where this plan is
followed it is unlikely that
stamps will be ready for re-
lease by August II, but al
lance officials hope the
stamp designs can be made
public at that time.
There will be no art con-
test in the United States. The
stamp design probably will
include the Alliance for Prog
ress insignia.
Plans for a Bolivian stamp
honoring the Alliance for
Progress were announced last
fall but the stamp has not
yet been issued.

Printed Page Awards
Most collectors use printed
albums, but pages from them
are rarely entered in stamp
shows since they stand little
chance In competition. Earl
Apfelbaum, the Philadelphia
dealer, has decided that
something ought to be done
about it.
Starting in September the
Maurice Apfelbaum Award,
named for his father, will be
available for club and society
shows. The only requirement
is that a printed pages award
be announced in the show
prospectus.
Polished gold medallions
will be awarded on the basis
of accuracy Of stamp place
ment, quality of the stamps
displayed, completion of the
collection and neatness of the
printed album.

KANSAS CITY, Motive
baby animalS-chicks, duck
lings, pups, and Dummies
play a major role in the de-
signs of many greeting cards,
particularly Easter greetings.
Getting them to pose in the
right position to illustrate a
special meaning takes a par
ticular kind of technique.
Richard Fanolio-producer
set designer. prop man and
directors a greeting card
expert for Hallmark Cards
who has learned the whims,
likes and dislikes of these
infant stars. He has been
working with the offspring
of the animal kingdom for
the past six years.
He creates the design of
the card to be, builds his own
props, fashions costumes, en-
lists the services of the stars
sometimes having them
shipped in from far away
places-directS the action,
and performs the role Of
caretaker during their visit
to the company.
Baby animals, chicks and
ducklings are challenging to
work with" he said. They
can be funny, capricious, and
just as temperamental on
stage as any prima DONNA"
he explained.
How It's Done
For instance, baby Dummies,

right spot for the picture.
Tips for Photo Bugs
Unlike a movie or tele-
vision studio, there is no
need for a lot Of space in
photographing the infant
Stars-they don't need a
dressing room either. Sounds
are kept at a minimum, and
Mr.. Fanolio uses q muted
tone in talking to the animals
when coaxing them to pose
for a picture.
Mr.. Fanolio gave some
hints on photographing
young animals such as chicks
and ducklings in interesting
poses:
/. Pictures should be taken
outside in the bright sun
shine, providing the weather
is not too chilly, using flow
ers or green grass as a
background.
2. If doll furniture or other
suitable toys are available,
pose the young stars in some
situation which utilities the
toys. Be gentle, patient and
don't tire of coaxing.
3. Use small amounts of
chicken feed for chicks and
ducklings to coax them into
position, or the moistened
center of a candy Easter egg
for a bunny.
4. If the pictures are taken
indoors, use pastel colored
paper as a background by
propping it against the base
board or taped to the wall
and floor.
