The gun works perfectly, the son says, and has a hard kick when it is fired. It was made by Durand Manufacturing Company, Durand, Mich.

Close Call When a Dummy Missile Falls SP4 Billy F. Peters at the Nike site still has a bump on his forehead reminiscent of a narrow escape he had May 14 at Richard-Gebauer Air Base. Road Progress Noted During National Week This week is National Highway av Week in Missouri, proclaimed by Gov. John M. Dalton.
In keeping with that proclamation, the Missouri State Highway Department has compiled some facts and figures to spotlight the state's roadbuilding activities in its District 4 area. District 4, which has its headquarters in Kansas City, is comprised of 12 western and west central Missouri counties: Benton, Carroll, Cass, Clay, Henry, Jackson, Johnson, Lafayette, Pettis, Platte, Ray and Saline. R. N. Hunter, district engineer, reports that there presently are 65 state highway construction contracts active on a total of 198 miles of roads in the district.
Of the contracts, 32 are on 67 miles of Interstate routes; 21 are on 75 miles of Supplementary (Farm to Market) routes; 11 are on 56 miles of Primary routes; and one is on .2 of a mile of an Urban route. Hunter also cited some statistics to show what state highway building means to the economy of the District 4 area. For example, he said the 65 construction contracts now in force are for work valued at $39,374,032. A breakdown of the figure shows the amount of construction funds involved on the various routes: 'Interstate, 428; Supplementary, Primary, and Urban, $250,941. Construction companies who hold the contracts for these jobs employ hundreds of people to perform the work.
In addition, there are 636! State Highway Department employees in the district and their payroll totals more than 000 a month. It takes quite a staff to draw the plans, acquire the right of way, test the materials and take care of the hundreds of details necessary to the building of every road. Also, a large force of maintenance men is needed to maintain the more than 3,400 miles of state highways in District 4. Other immediate economic factors involved in highway construction include payrolls at quarries and other materialsproducing sites in the area, transportation of these materials to the scene of construction and equipment purchases, rentals and repairs, to name a few. Looking at the state highway construction picture on a statewide basis, it is found that there now are 386 active contracts on 1,296 miles of roads.
The value of these contracts totals 470,845. Of this total, $87,926,259 is on Interstate routes; $33,754,636 is on Primary routes; $13,624,051 is on Supplementary routes; and $8,165,899 is on Urban routes. J. J. Corbett, chief engineer of the State Highway Department, says he is the first to admit that this is a lot of work and a lot of money.
But Corbett also says that, as a highway engineer viewing the situation objectively, he must point out that Missouri still is falling badly behind in providing an adequate state highway system. The reason? "Simply because traffic is increasing faster than we are building highways," according to Corbett. Nike Site Display In Lobby of Bank A display depicting the Nike site northeast of town in miniature has been on display this week at the Pleasant Hill Bank. The Fire Control and launching areas are shown on portable tables. Included are target tracking radar, missile tracking radar, administration building, and replicas of the Ajax and Hercules missiles.
The display was made by the U. S. Disciplinary Barracks at Ft. Leavenworth. SP-4 Leland Wright from the site was on duty most of the week to explain the details of the exhibit.

So far bait fishermen haven't even entered the honorable mention column for large trout taken in Missouri. In 1957, a 10-pound, rainbow was caught on a marabou fly by Bill Shutt for fourth place in the Eastern Fly division.
Along came Pete Centro next year to catch a nine-pound trout which that year won second place. Centro also used a marabou. No Missouri catch entered the win column in but in 1960 a monster rainbow weighing 13 pounds, 12 ounces was taken by H. N. Branson on a white miller.
His fish took first place in the Field and Stream contest. If there's a moral to this story it's this: If you catch a large trout this year, enter it for a prize. According to past records your chances of winning are good- -if you used a fly. Funeral Tuesday For M. A.
