CHESTER, III. R Orville Hodge, one time politician ac- cused of footing the Illinois State Treasury of more than one million dollars, walked out of prison yes terday with $8176 in his pocket.
 AS he emerged from the peni- tentiary into the bright sunshine. he repeated: "Isn't this great? Isn't this wonderful?"
 Hodge, a Republican auditor, turned his back on the brownstone prison on the bank of the Missis- sippi River 615 years after he en- tered it, paroled by Gov. Otto Ker- ner, a Democrat.

ShaktOOlik
 Builds Village Water System
By John C. Doore

While it is now winter, with spring just ahead of us, it is not too early to consider the develop ment of community water systems for this coming summer. The ex- perience of Shaktoolik on Norton Sound, east of Nome, is well worth reviewing.
 The completion in June of last year of summer water supply and distribution system for the village of Shaktoolik highlighted an i'm portant cooperative program be- tween the people of Shaktoolik, the Alaska Rural Development Agency and Sanitation Aide Services of the Division of Public Heath, Alas ka Dept. of Health and Welfare.
 Lawrence Kayoukluk, sanitation aide of Shaktoolik, and the village council had been working on a village water supply project. Pro- gress on the development of this supply was slow because of a lack of money for the necessary ma- terials and labor involved. Last spring the Alaska Rural Develop ment Agency made available the necessary funds which would make possible the completion of the work.
 George Markham, sanitation aide supervisor for the Norton Sound area, and Lawrence Kayoukluk completed the plans and specified tions for the system. Under the immediate supervision of Kayouk- lux, the village men went ahead with the construction of the project.
 The project, as built, consists of a driven well, about 26 feet deep and a gas powered pump, both covered by an insulated frame building. Ten 50-gallon barrels on 10-foot high platform, are the main supply and pressure tanks. These units are located in the cen- ter of the village. Two distribution lines of M-inch plastic pipe carry the water to either end of the com munity. Outlets for drawing water are placed between every other house along the lines. The north end of the village has a booster pressure tank, near the middle for the distribution line, which helps to maintain the pressure to the end of the line. The water lines were laid in shallow open trenches and only covered where a pathway crosses the line.

US. Takes Sharp Issue With Canada Defense Forces

WASf1lN1l OIN HJ - llle OllIlSU States, apparently taking sharp is sue with Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, has declared bluntly that Canada's defense forces should be equipped with nu- clear weapons.
 Although North American de- fense systems using nuclear cap able weapons" are necessary for effective protection against the So- viet Unions nuclear bomber fleet, the State Department said We'd nesday night, the the Canadian government has failed to come up with a practical plan.
 The nuclear weapons issue has been hotly debated in the Parlia- ment at Ottawa in recent days and has become problem in Canadian domestic politics. In such circum- stances a US. government decla- ration is highly unusual. In Ottawa, there was widespread speculation the US. criticism would spark a general election call and a cam paign fought on nuclear defense issues.
 The statement, issued by the State Department and delivered to the Canadian Embassy, is also unusual because it is stripped of ordinary diplomatic language and lays down the Washington view of the North American defense prob lem in sharp, simple sentences.
 "The Soviet bomber fleet will remain at least throughout this decade a significant element in the Soviet strike force," the statement said. "An effective continental de- fense against this common threat is necessary"
 The statement said that although the Western alliance needs more conventional forces, conventional forces are no alternative "to eff fective NATO or NORAD defense arrangements using nuclear-capable weapons systems" NORAD is the joint U.S.-Canadian defense system against Soviet bombers.
 The statement did not refer to Diefenbaker by name, but referred to various points made in the Can adian Parliament's nuclear weapons debate, in which Diefenbaker has participated.
 In Ottawa, the Social Credit party leader, Robert Thompson, called the US. statement "a bombshen to say the least-it could be the spark to topple the govern ment."
 Liberal leader Lester Pearson, leader of the Liberals, the biggest opposition party, said he found it surprising the United States should issue such a statement. But he blamed it on what he said were conflicting versions of defense policy given by Diefenbaker and Defense Minister Douglas Hardness in Commons debate last week. Bing Crosby Undergoes
