A famous space scientist fore
sees the day when TV cameras
w ill be in orbit above the earth to
assist weather forecasters. Willy
I.ev incorporated this idea into
one of his four new Monogram
space kits. In addition to the TV
Orbiter, he has designed a Space
Taxi, a Passenger Rocket and an
Orbital Rocket. Ley’s kits are
hobby “musts” for space-minded
model-builders.

Ceramics are gaining in popu
larity as a hobby for the home
maker. New designs and patterns
are on the market to be used in
the assembly of tables, trivets and
other useful and decorative items.
Once cemented in place, the ce
ramic tiles are durable enough
to be used for outdoor furniture.

One of the fastest growing
sports in the country is skin div
ing. New equipment makes it easy
for even a novice to safely pursue
this hobby. Experienced skin div
ers warn, however, that no one
should attempt the sport without
instruction—and never skin dive
alone.

For the skin diver—in or out
of water—we recommend Mono
gram’s hobby kit of the U. S.
Navy frogmen with an LCPR
lloat. The realistic kit comes com
plete with five frogmen that car
ry full equipment, including swim
fins, face masks and air tanks.

Russians Protest Norway’s
Plans To Build New
NATO Munitions Bases
MOSCOW, OP) — Russia has
warned Norway her decision to
build new NATO munitions dumps
and bomber bases on Norwegian
soil is not “in the clear interests
of peace.”
Soviet Foreign Minister Gro
myko handed the Soviet protest
note to Ambassador B. H. Gun
derson. It complained particularly
against the building of dumps for
joint use with West Germany.
The Soviet note warned that it
did not help matters for Norway
to prepare a bridgehead for West
German forces.
Fisli-Game Control
Test ‘Attacks State
Voters’ -- Westland
WASHINGTON, WV—Represen
tative Jack Westland (R-Wash)
said Friday that if the Governor of
Alaska tests constitutionality of
the Westland amendment to the
Alaska statehood act he would be
in the position of attacking legis
lation approved by people of his
state.
The Westland amendment pro
vides that the federal government
shall control fish and wildlife in
Alaska until the state proves it
can manage these resources in the
national interest.
“It seems strange to me that
such an attack might be made a
few months after Alaska became
the 49th state when statehood
wouldn’t have been granted with
out my amendment,” he said.
