Mr. Coyle said that he was (till studying the parking situation on the beach but that he was against putting in parking meters right away.

Missis sippi's only woman fire watcfear is a 51-year-old widow who spends an average of 10 hoars a day keeping an eye on George County woodlands. And when forest fires are rag ing, Mrs. Mae Price stays on the job lis many as 24 hours at t time, dispatching fire fighting crews and making decisions that determine the fate of 70 square miles of tim berlaod. It's a solitary existence for a woman, but Mrs. Price keeps busy even when there are no fires to report. Not only must she maintain her office, but she also must keep daily weather records of temperature, wind velocity and direction and rainfall as part of the Mississippi Forestry Commission's program to predict, prevent, detect and ex tinguish forest fires. Her office is only 110 feet from her living quarters but it's 110 feet straight up and she must climb the 131 steps several times a day as she moves about her duties aloft and belaw. The only entrance to the office is through a counter balanced trapdoor. Her living quarters are similar to any housewife's home, but her office would make the average housewife cringe. Aside from its lofty perch near the central com munity six miles west of here, the office is a mass of necessary clut ter. Crowding the glassed-in cubicle are radio transmitters and receiv ers, weather instruments, plotting boards, direction finders, maps and other tools of the fire fighting trade. Mrs. Price must evaluate every wisp of smoke rising from the dark green tree tops, deciding whe ther it is a harmless campfire or the beginning of a devastating for est fire that could leave the land scorched and devoid of life. Under her supervision also are the Forestry Commission's three truck-tractor units and five simi lar units and three jeeps belonging to paper and lumber mills Jfl .the area. All fire fighting crews vrkhin her jurisdiction obey her instructions implicitly. During the summers, Mrs. Price Is the county's only fire spotter. During the winters, Mississippi's moat dangerous time for forest fires, three other fire towers are manned, but they, too, are under Mrs. Price's supervision.

Federation of Heme Demonstration Clabs The week of May 4-10 has been designated for National Home Demonstration Club Week. During this time the members of the or ganization have the opportunity to work for greater public under standing of the objectives and program of home demonstration work and also an opportunity to emphasize their future plans. The women are doing much to carry out their theme "Today's Home Builds Tomorrow's World." It is common knowledge that the American home plays a vital role in the social and economic life of our Nation and is largely respon sible for determining the charac ter and quality of our future citi zens. Cratial Timet Today's children are living in crucial times of racial problems, atomic bombs, satellites and edu cational problems. As leaders of tomorrow, they mutt face the world with confidence and courage, supported by strong bodies and healthy minds. It it in the family circle that our youth firat learn to under stand and apply the concepts of freedom, personal responsibility and respect for individual differ ence! that are basic to our demo cratic way of life. Women are primarily reaponaMe for maintaining the home and in the rapidly changing pattern of mudera day livbig, homemakers need an up-to-date reliable source of information that will help them in solving problem! of the family and community. Home demonstra tion work is designed to meet that need. Help for Families This brings about the valuable work of the home demonstration agent whose job is one of helping families to improve undesirable situations which they recognize and want to do something about. Because the is a home economist and a member of the State Land Grant college itaff, the home onstratRm (Kent ha* access to a vast store of information about matters concerning th? home and family. Her job is U encourage families to analvie their present situation and to supply them with informa tion that wiil help them to make whatever change they feel ia desir able, whether it be a remodeled kitchen, a family budget or a rec reation center for their commun ity A staff of extension workers at each land-grant college is respon sible for interpreting the results of research and for keeping the agenta informed. Through this method of in-service training, the latest research information is rap idly translated into improved liv- , ing for American families 1 In addition to learning bow to : be a better home maker you will 1 learn how to preside at meetings, how to be an officer, how to be a leader. There is no limit to the things home demonstration mem bers can do. Besides the home demonstration agent, over 700,000 women serve as local leaders in the United States. One of the most effective ways of reaching many homemak ers is through group meetings. About 1V4 million women are train ing to improve their homemaking skills and abilities through educa tional programs in over 68,000 such group*. Though home demonstration agents do some direct teaching in home demonstration groups, the local leader system is an impor tant feature of home demonstra tion work. Since there are many training schools for leaders, and women assume different leader ship roles each year, this method of carrying on extension work has become an important means of de veloping strong community lead ership. The home demonstration pro gram gives us the tools and know how to build tomorrow's world and it it up to us to use them to be assured at a better world. Takes to Hospital Joe Whitefield, Stem, N.

The territory is famous for its brown and black bear, moose, deer, arctic polar bear, mountain goat, dall aheep, reindeer, caribou, musk ox and even buffalo. But Gil stands alone as the only one of her breed in Alaska. She's a lion? or a lioness, if you prefer. And her life, although complicated in the past by frequent court dis putes, is a bit more soft than that of other game animals in tbe ter ritory. She doesn't roam the rugged forests in search of food or a place to sleep. Even Alaska's frigid win ter weather is no problem. Gil is a pet? and about as do mesticated as h 2-year-old lion anywhere could be. She's owned by S. Sgt. and Mrs. Glenn F. Diel, and lives mostly in the garage of the Diel home in suburban Hidden Valley. Her grazing land, the back yard of the Diel home, now is enclosed by an eight-foot wooden fence topped by a heavy wire mesh. The barricade was ordered by U.S. District Judge J. L. McCarrey Jr., after a number of complaints had been filed against Gil's neighbor hood ramblings. Gil's most serious bout with the law came as a result of a $3,000 damage suit filed against Sergeant Diel, who is stationed at Elmen dorf jAjr force base here. The parents of i young girl con tended the lion trtrtl scratched their daughter. A federal S:durt jury awarded $5$ in damages to cover a doctor bill. With winter snow on the ground, and temperature around the zero level, GU doesn't venture outside of the garage much more than 15 minutes a day. Her paws get cold. Gil was born in captivity at the Chase Wild Animal Compound at Halifax, Mass. Mrs. Diel chose the animal's name ? in honor of a for mer employer in Sacramento, Calif. Canrt Settlement Petersburg, Va.
