Boy Scout Volunteers
Go Book Hunting
HEWLETT, N.Y. — A Boy
Scout is trustworthy, but he can’t
do the impossible.
Still, a Boy Scout is loyal, so he
keeps trying.
Eighteen Boy Scout volunteers
were dispatched by the Hewlett
Woodmere Public Library over the
weekend to scout for 150 books
held by delinquent adult borrow
ers. The boys blazed a trail across
this Long Island community and
returned with 15 books.
The librarian, Mrs. Walter
Thomson, who knows the prob
lems involved in book-hunting,
called the 10 per cent immediate
return encouraging. The members
of Troop 21 vowed to continue the
hunt across the four square miles
served by the library over suc
cessive weekends.
The Scouts gave Mrs. Thomson
the following accounting:
A dozen borrowers to look miss
ing books; three agreed to pay for
lost books; two insisted they had
returned the books; a dozen were
reported away, and doorbells went
unanswered at the other homes.
Robert Oscard Jr., 12, son of the
Scoutmaster, reported a few anx
ious moments when he was con
fronted by a menacing-looking
police dog at the home of one
borrower.
The owner finally came out,
calmed his pet and read the li
brary’s explanatory form letter.
He told the boy: “Son, I return
ed that book a long time ago. I
think you’ve got a fine idea there,
though. Keep after the others.”
The missing book is “Lolita.”

tion urging transfer of jurisdic
tion over Alaska’s reindeer indus
try from the Bureau of Indian Af
fairs to the Bureau of Land Man
agement or Department of Agri
culture was introduced in the

ment policies of the BIA have been
inadequate to promote a thriving
reindeer industry among the
peoples of Northern and Western
Alaska by making reindeer stock
readily available.
The resolution was sponsored by
Reps. Robert Blodgett, Jay Ham
mond and Axel Johnson.

"Taste Just Awful" . . .
SEATTLE UP) — Irving Clark Jr.
says he has no intention of going
on a 50-mile-hike, but "it’s a lot
better for you than eating gold
fish.”
Clark, a Seattle attorney, ought
to know.

vard University, Clark swallowed
24 goldfish. His stunt touched off
a nationwide fad.

Kremlin Will
Withdraw Some
Soviet Troops
From Cuban Soil
WASHINGTON UFl — Russia has
informed the United States that
several thousand Soviet troops will
be withdrawn from Cuba in the
next three weeks, diplomatic in
formants reported Tuesday.
This word from Moscow is un
derstood to have been given to
the Kennedy administration Mon
day through the Soviet Embassy
here.
It is understood that President
Kennedy’s decision to call con
gressional leaders to a meeting
with him Monday night followed
that development. The bipartisan
group, about a score of legislators,
had only two hours notice.
Official administration estimates
are that there are about 17,000
Russians in Cuba at the present
time.
Adult Education Courses
Offered At Nome School
Two more adult education
courses are to be offered by the
I Nome Public Schools, reports Mrs.
Mary Lyttle, Director of Adult
Education.
Shorthand and typing with Mrs.
Muriel Crumin, high school com
mercial teacher, will begin next
week. Should 10 or more enroll
in each course, two separate class
es will be held. Classes will begin
next Monday evening, Feb. 25, at
7:30 in Room 11, upstairs in the
new high school addition. Regis
tration fee is $7.50 for each course.
Meetings will be once a week for
10 weeks.
Upholstery Workshop, instructed
by Mrs. Jean Burand will be of
fered April 9. Persons desiring the
upholstery course are asked to en
roll early so that materials may be
ordered and on hand for April 9.
Persons wishing to enroll for any
of these courses may call the school
office at 2426.
Highly qualified informants said
that there was “no deal whatever”
involved in the latest development
and that the Soviet government
had not proposed or demanded any
price for the reduction of its Cuban
froce.
Last Nov. 20 Kennedy received
a note from Khrushchev saying
that a number of Soviet combat
units associated with the nuclear
missile and jet bomber bases would
be withdrawn “in due course.”
Two weeks ago Kennedy recalled
this at a news conference as he
sought to deal with mounting con
gressional criticism, particularly
Republican criticism, of his Cuban
policies.
The number of troops which
I would be withdrawn under the
new Kremlin assurance was no'
precisely known but speculatior
turned on the point that severa
thousand would mean by defini
tion at least 3,000 and that thi
total could be quite a bit mor<
than that.
Special concern — particularly
in criticism of administratior
Cuban policy here—was focused or
approximately 5,000 heavily armec
combat troops organized into foui
mobile battalions.
The Congress members who mel
with Kennedy declined for the
most part to talk with newsmen at
any length about the session.

WASHINGTON UR — Approval

ing, is expected to create some 38

Ran Oul of Fuel . . .
