Gilt Parcels Can Pierce The Soviet Iron Curtain By CARL HARTMAN iPur Jane Kads WASHINGTON ? For gift pgr eels by mail, the iron Cutain has a hole in it as broad aa the gener osity of Americans. You can mail Premier Malenkov a can of caviar if you feel like it. The United States approves as long as you put $25 worth or less in one package and mark it "gift". Th Russians, though, will charge five times the regular customs duty if you send any one person i ore than 11 pounds of fish and caviar in one year. Most dealings between 'he Uni t ! States and the Soviet bloc have (' me to an end. but the mail still ?i cs through," "Postal relations," says one po-t office official, "are about the last links to be cut and the first to be resumed between unfriend ly countries. It's usually some time after a declaration of war that someone remembers that may. b< the mail had better be stopped." I Not many packages go to Rus atiy more but some of the sat ellite- get substantial numbers ? especially where citizens have many r< latives in the United States In one year the Soviet Union re ceived only 97,000 pounds of par cel-post from the United States Rut Roland got 10.320.000 pounds and Czechoslovakia 2.303.000 pounds. One government trade ex pert estimates 99'x per cent of it wa<- gifts. Except for Red China and North Korr a. the United States is on good po Jal terms with the whole world.

" * Kentucky Puts Books On Road BOOKS. HOOKS. BOOKS?Kentucky got more than expected in the drive tn start auto libraries in the state. \P Newsfeature* LOUISVILLE Ky? More than one hundred mobile libraries soon will fan out over Kentucky to pro vide something that hundreds of thousands of rural Kentuekians never have had before?free li brary service. The cream of an estimated 750. 000 books collected in a statewide "Bookmobile Project" will stock these traveling libraries. The goal had been only a half million books. Three barn-like buildings here, the main collection center for the hook drive that dinped into private libraries in nearlv every Kentueky community, are jammed by con tributions. Miss Margaret Willis, head of the circulation department of the Louisville Free Public Library, -aid the sorting and culling of the volumes will be expedited by train ed librarians She expressed belief al least half the books collected will be; suitable for general library eircu lation?a net of around 375.000. The bookmobiles themselves, which cost $3,000 with an original complement of 600 new books, will be purchased from funds obtained in a finance campaign that still is going on. The goal had been 100 traveling libraries. Funds for 93 already have been obtained in a drive so successful that leaders have said the goal may be raised to 120 ? one for each Kentucky county. The great response in book contributions resulted from a "t'iitzens March for Books". This was a door-to-door canvass in com munities throughout the state. Also highly successful was a free-movie .program for children. In more than 300 theaters through out Kentucky, children who brought two books were admitted to a special program. Theater operators contributed the use of their movie houses and the film, and the employes their services. New Dominican Dance Popular In Washington By JANE EA OS WASHINGTON ? Those Domin ican diplomats have a way of mak ing headlines. In New York it was tin wedding of rich Barbara Hut ton to Dominican playboy diplomat Porfirib Rubirosa. Here in the capital it was the ambassador's dance. Everybody here is either talking about or doing the merengue 'pronounced merenga' since the handsome new ambassador. Gen do Mova, and his pretty wife in troduced the beautiful and state l.v national dance of their country i at a recent embassy party. The ancient dance was born in Dominican rural districts. Top socialites like former U. S. Am bassador to Russia Joe Davies and Mrs Davies like it It is a change of pace after square dancing, rhum , ba. tango and samba. The merengue has been des cribed as a "stiff-legged fox trot." and one observer remarked it | could best be done by a person with one wooden leg. Others de-1 scribe it as "second cousin twice removed of the rhumba, with a step structure that resembles the samba." "It is between the two, but dif-1 ferent," Miss Olga Finke. the am-1 bassador's secretary, explained to the guests. Actually, the dance is a combination of Spanish dances and the dances of the Carib Indians who were around the island repub lic when Christopher Columbus landed on its shores more than four centuries ago. Ambassador 'Hondo' At Park Sunday Brings John Wayne And Improved 3-D The coming of "Hondo" at the j Park Theatre .Sunday bring.s not only John Wayne in one of the moat heralded pictures to come out of Hollywood but also in improve ment in 3-D glasses. A vast and marked improvement in eye com fort and ease is promised movie patrons and clip-on viewers for people who wear regular eye glasses. "Hondo," a Warner Brothers western drama, was filmed in col or under a broiling Mexican sun with temperatures sometimes a high as 126 degrees. Wayne was joined by his two strapping sons Michael, 18, and Patrick. 14, while on location. He immediately put them to work on the theory that because they are the sons of a rich and famous father, they will probably have to work all the hard er. The boys were rousted out with the crew at 6 a.m. daily, loaded in busses for the location 25 miles away, and worked a full day. Mike was apprenticed to the assistant director, while Pat learned the property man's angle of the busi ness. The epic adventure film intro duces to the screen the sensation of the Broadway theatre. Miss Geraldine Page. The film was based on a novel bv Louis L'Amour which first appeared in serial form in a national magazine. MORE ABOUT laycees (Continued from Pace 1) Carolina Jayvees' third district meeting, with about 80 visiting delegates and their wives from Asheville, Brevard, Black Moun tain, Mars Hill and Hendersonville expected here. Banks Finger of Franklin, Javcees vice president for this district, will preside al the district session, which will fol low to the banquet. A special committee, whose names will not be disclosed, will srtect the "outstanding young man," who must be between the ages of 21 and 35. but need not be a member of the Javcees. He will be chosen on the basis of leader ship and participation in civic betterment projects not connect ed with his regular business or profession A plaque will be presented to the DSA winner, while the two outstanding Javcees will receive keys. Certificates will be given to j the three business firms named. Winners of the distinguished service award have been Charles Isley in 1951 and the Rev. J. H. i Coleman ii/1952. Dwight Beaty is serving as chair-1 man for the banquet in place of Blue Robinson, who is in the hos pital. de Moya said it was first introduc ed into the drawing rooms of the country 24 years ago by President Trujillo. who admired the dance he had seen so long at fiestas. The steps are simple with a lot of hip movement and empha sis on the knee-drop ? and easier to learn than most Latin dances," one new fan explains. The music is a little slower '?oo and usually is played by an oichestra consisting of a tamora. lor drum, an accordion, and a ' guira, a gourd-like instrument. Such an orchestra wasn't avail able for the de Moyas' party, which they say is only the first in a series of merengue evenings they plan. So they imported an orchestra consisting of piano, ac cordion. drums and maracas from New York. The ambassador and his wife obviously have started their career in our capital city on the right footing. This party was infomal. and even the food?served buffet style ?? made conversation. They explained it was the kind of food that would be eaten at Dominican fiestas where the merengue would be danced. There was a rice and bean dish called "moro" and "pastelitos." or patties, stulfed with minced meat, raisins and eggs, as well as chayute salad made from a pearlike fruit. Be accurate when you measure dry ingredients such as flour and baking powder for cake or cookie making! Fill the cup or spoon to overflowisg without packing or shaking down. Then pass a spatula or knife over the top for even lev eling. JOHN WAYNE, GKRAI.DINE PAGE in "Hondo," in improved 3-Dimension color can be seen at the Park Theatre Sunday, Mon day and Tuesday. Report Cites Statistics o On County Farms, Hoitieo An extensive set for statistics on rural population and rural family living in Haywood County are contained in a recent report issued by the Department of Rural Sociology at N.

The report contains these figures. Total population (1950 census) ?37,631; rural non-farm popula tion?39.9 per cent; rural farm? 33 per cent; non-white?2.2 per cent. Number of rural farm house holds?2.912; number of persons per household?4.4 per cent; per centage of farm homes built since 1944?18.2 per cent; percentage built before 1920?27.8 per cent; percentage households occupied by renters?23.1.
