Targe* for Valentine Day
Romance is the target in this sweet table decoration for any
Valentine Day party, be it for the very young or for the “boy
meets girl” group. Cupid will hover over the party table and
sweet talk will be the order of the day when this simple-to
make centerpiece is used to prettily serve the dessert course.
Here’s how to make it: Cut a heart shape from styrofoam 14”
wide by l-li” thick. Spray with red paint. Place on large doily.
Use large chocolate heart for target; back with doilies and
fasten to cardboard backing with toothpicks. The tripod for
chocolate heart is made of three dowel sticks inserted into
styrofoam base; a six-inch cross stick provides support for the
chocolate heart. Use large red bow at top of tripod. Cupid’s bow
is shaped out of a wire coat hanger and covered with hollow
licorice sticks which easily slide over the wire. Insert end of
wire into styrofoam to hold bow upright. Arrows are Vs” dowel
sticks with small candy hearts for arrowheads.
Talks With Spain About
Bases Postponed
“By Mutual Agreement”
WASHINGTON UP)—The visit of
Deputy Secretary of Defense Ros
well Gilpatric to Madrid to dis
cuss renewal of an agreement on
bases in Spain has been postponed
“by mutual agreement of both
countries,” the Pentagon said.
The explanation given by a
Pentagon spokesman was that this
would “allow both sides more time
to do their preparations for the
discussions.”
The announcement here followed
a report by the U.S. Embassy in
Madrid that the visit had been
postponed “because it appears
neither side is yet ready to start
talking.”
Gilpatric was to have arrived in
Madrid Feb. 15. The Pentagon
spokesman said no new date has
been set but indicated it would
be in the near future.
Gilpatric leaves Sunday for Eu
rope, where he will go ahead with
planned conferences in Rome and
Bonn with U.S. and foreign of
ficials.
Peeping Billy—Nervous Queenie
HASTINGS, Minn. Uh—'The case
of Billy, a window-peeping goat,
and Queenie, a dog with a nervous
stomach, has been settled out of
court.
The suit was filed by Travis
Sparkman. He claimed a neigh
bor’s goat upset the temperament
of his German shepherd, Queenie.
According to Sparkman, Queenie
was in the house when T. G. Som
mer’s roaming goat peeped through
a window. Queenie charged thru
the house, knocking over furniture,
plants, lamps and a television set.
Before the matter came to trial,
Sommers agreed to pay $300.
The ordinary hen never heard of
Thomas A. Edison, but because of
his inventive genius she has to
work harder. Use of electric lights
to lengthen short winter days has
spurred chickens to lay 10 per
cent more eggs.

Alaska Savings
Bond Office Opens
In Anchorage
Final preparations are under
way for this week’s formal open
ing in Anchorage of the Treasury
Department’s Alaska State Office
of the U.S. Savings Bonds Division.
Every state in the union has had
a state office since World War II
with the exception of Alaska and
Hawaii. A few years ago the Ha
waiian office was set up and the
establishment of the Alaska Office
completes the 50 state offices.
The Alaska staff consists of Mrs.
Helen Fischer, recently appointed
state director and Mrs. Diane Bate
man, office manager, formerly as
sociated with the Savings Bonds
Division’s national headquarters in
Washington, D.C.
The first task of the state staff
will be to build a state volunteer
organization from Barrow to Ket
chikan. The volunteer is the cor
nerstone upon which the Savings
Bond program rests. The Treasury
Department is calling for Savings
Bonds Volunteers in every city
throughout Alaska to aid in organ
izing Alaska’s new department.
Upon the organization of state
volunteers, the state office will
I work toward getting the payroll
! savings plan installed in state and
local governments and industry in
Alaska.
In this, Alaska’s first year of
participation in a nation -wide
drive the state staff and volunteer
organization will join the other 49
states in carrying out the 1963
Freedom Bond Drive from May 1
to July 4th. The key objective of
the 1963. Freedom Bond Drive is
for each family in the state to pur
chase at least one U.S. Savings
Bond by July 4th.
An area chairman for the Nome
area will soon be appointed. Inter
ested persons can obtain brochures
and other written materials by
writing to the Savings Bond Of
fice located in Room 201 of the
Federal Building in Anchorage.
A raven is always kept in the
Tower of London. The tradition
stems from Charles II, who pre
dicted England would fall if ravens
ever left the tower.

Airman Must Lose 32 lbs.
Or Face Discharge and
Loss of Pension Rights
WESTOVER AIR FORCE BASE,
Mass. (#—A veteran of 17 years
military service has another 9ft
days to lose 32 pounds in excess
weight or face enforced discharge
and loss of pension rights.
Airman lc Edward Macguire, 34,
stands 5 feet 9 and weighs 225
pounds. The Air Force says his
weight should be 19.3 pounds.
The Air Force said Friday Ma
guire was ordered last April to
attain 193 pounds or be discharged
under regulations ruling him un
suitable for military service.
After a week of medically pre
scribed 800 - calories-a-dav diet,
Maguire dropped one pound. He
was ordered to do better.
He put himself on a diet of 40ft
calories a day. He informed his
superiors of his extra effort and
his deadline for reaching 193 was
extended to Jan. 21.
Under the strict diet, Maguire
said, he collapsed at the wheel of
his car, so the doctors put him
back on the 800-calorie diet.
Maguire appealed to Sens. Ed
ward M. Kennedy, and Leverett
Saltonstall, both of Massachusetts,
and his wife wrote to President
Kennedy.
Last Thursday the comamnding
general of the 57 th Air Division
postponed a hearing on Maguire’s
fitness for duty and extended his
deadline another 90 days.
Maguire said he weighed 210
pounds while fighting in Korea as
a Marine, and asked, “So why am
I unfit now?”
An Air Force spokesman said,
“There are 10,000 troops at West
over and regulations apply to them
all, from generals down.”
Would Boost Income to $1,800
For Subsistence Licenses
JUNEAU — A bill which
would permit the issuance of a
subsistence license to persons with
an annual income of less than
$1,800 was introduced in the House
today by Rep. Ray Christensen,
(D-Bethel).
Under present law, subsistence
licenses cannot be obtained by
persons who have an annual in
come of more than $800.
