(AP) America's second Saturn 5 super-rocket developed troubles with three engines and hurled a 132-ton payload into the wrong orbit Thursday, possibly delaying the man-to-the-moon program by casting doubt whether the roqket is ready to launch astronauts. If the flight had been intended to launch men to the moon, "We have had to conduct an alternate mission in earth orbit," said Maj. Gen. Samuel C.

Phillips, director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Apollo program office. "The objective of having a propulsion system function properly on each stage was not fully met," Phillips said. "It certainly makes this less than a perfect mission." At stake as Hie 363-fool-taIl booster thundered into space was whether the Saturn 5 rocket was qualified to launch astronauts. If it had performed as flawlessly as the first super- rocket mission last Nov. 9, NASA was prepared to skip a third unmanned test arid go directly to manned Saturn 5 flights.

Despite- the engine Howard Hughes empire spreads through Nevada VEGAS, Ncv. (AP) Billionaire Howard Hughes, who has spent an estimated $125 million in Las Vegas in one year, has expanded his empire to the historic gold and silver mining land in northern Nevada, it was learned Thursday. The Hughes Tool Co. bought 480 acres of land Wednesday for a reported $225,000 near Virginia City, center of the Comstock Lode silver and gold rush before the turn of the century. Hughes, who has not been seen in' public for years, has bought four Las Vegas casinos.

He recently neared completion of transactions on two more. At that time, his aides said they planned to buy ho more Las Vegas casinos, but they did not out northern Nevada land. Nevada mining officials have predicted a rebirth of the Comstock area because of rising gold and silver prices. They big mining firms exploring the area and that 1hey would not be surprised if 2,000 persons began digging won new Virginia City, southeast of Reno. The Union Pacific RailroM recently leased mining claims there.

Mervin J. Gallagher, state mining inspector, said, "I would only speculate that Hughes is going to do some mining nearby, or else build some sort of an industrial plant on this property. These claims here would be peanuts for him. "He might be making some sort of a deal with the Union Pacific, which has claims nearby in the Comstock Lode area." Hughes said earlier in a rare prepared statement that he would like to have more industry in Nevada. The Hughes organization gave no indication of its plans for the newly-acquired property.

But' Meier, Hughes' scientific adviser who negotiated for the property, said last month that gold mining would be a solution to the U.S. crisis in gold standards. He said then that more than $12 billion worth of gold in the California Mother Lode Country --far to the west of Virginia City-- could be extracted. The Nevada land had been owned by George' Von Tobel, whose family owns a large store, and E. L'.

He predicted a decision would be made "before the end of this month." Flying astronauts aboard the next Saturn 5 would accelerate the Apollo lunar landing by several months, possibly permitting a landing on the moon by the middle of 1969. Having to fly another unmanned test of the super booster would delay the manned lunar landing at least until the last half of 1969. The majestic Saturn 5 lifted off exactly on time at 7 a.m., EST, but two of five engines in the powerful rocket's second stage shut down prematurely as the booster propelled its payload--including the unmanned Apollo 6 moonship--toward space. Three other second stage motors and a single engine aboard the Saturn 5's last stage took up the slack, shoving the last stage with Apollo spacecraft still attached into an orbit 110 miles too high. Instead of a planned 115-mile-high circular path, the satellite ended up in an elliptical orbit ranging from 110 to 225 miles high.

Then two orbits later--3 hours, 13 minutes after liftoff-the last stage failed It was to propel itself about 322,000 miles into space to prove it can kick an Apollo spacecraft out of earth orbit and toward the moon. Cause of the engine failures was not immediately deter. mined, although the space agency said prior to the failure of the last stage re-ignition that a leak was detected in a system that pressurizes fuel aboard the rocket. The problem with the second stage engines was possibly associated with a fuel-mixing system leading into the said.

SapoGn has to be good! 5-YEAR DURABILITY GUARANTEE! COVERS COST OF FAINT PUS LABOR Programs for whole family In presenting its proposed program of work for. the coming year to the Board of Directors of Otsego County Cooperative Extension Association for approval, the Home Economics Division, like the Agricultural and 4-H Divisions, made its own analysis of conditions in the county with which it must deal. The work program covers a broad field of economics education, including among others such factors as consumer education in home management, wise purchasing 'of foods, material, furnishings, and in the improvement of home facilities, use of equipment, as well as familiar relationships, child development, and proper nutrition. The home economics analysis of the situation here follows: Otsego County is a beautiful rural county that has many possibilities. The county is rich in natural resources since a Gilbertsville hit by fires I I Gilbertsville Firemen called out twice on Sunday for two grass fires.

The first call came about 11:45 a.m. for a fire at the home of Mr Mrs. Edward Miller on the Ferry Mansion Road. About 2:45 p.m. the firemen received a second call for a fire which started on the Charles Bennett farm located on the South New Berlin Road about three miles Gilbertsvflle village.

The wind spread the fire over an area of 75 acres or more according to Fire Chief Edward Wilson. Two barns on the property of Mrs. Carl Bolberg were burned to the', ground other buildings damaged. The fire spread rapidly due to the swift wind. Through mutual aid Mount Upton, Morris, South New Berlin, New Berlin and West a i summoned to help fight -the blaze which lasted for hours.

One hundred firemen responded to the call: The Ladies Auxiliary from the various departments provided refreshments for the firemen. Chief Wilson reminds area people to avoid burning trash or other debris on windy days. The Star has been published weekday of every year since 1890. large percentage of the acreage is farmland, forests, and water. Continued planning is necessary in order to preserve this natural beauty.

More effort needs to be devoted to the development of human resources. The average yearly per capta income is relatively low but some are able to utilize their resources, although limited, to their best advantage. The possibilities of employment skilled and semi-skilled jobs is on the increase although many persons lack the training to take advantage to these job possibili-. ties. One of the main industries in Otsego County is farming with dairying the major enterprise.

There are approximately today (a decrease of over 500 since 1959). The farms remaining as a going business are larger in size. CARLOAD LOTS FOR BETTER DEALS! MOTE Discount Given To Defray The County and State WEST END IMPLEMENT CO. COUNTRY CLUB RD. 432-12M ONEONTA, N.

In I960, this country had 1800 absentee land owners These persons find that Otsego County is a good place for a summer home, a retirement 1100 dairy farms in the County home, hunting and fishing. The City of Oneonta is facing many problems at this time since it is expanding in several directions and progress is being made in many ways.

The City of Oneonta has the highest concentration of population in thg county, is the industrial center for the county, is the shopping center for some residents of two counties and has two colleges. Many groups and organiza. tions are trying to cope with the problems and needs of the people of Otsego County such as level of living, a a portation, educational opportunities, resource develop- planning (community, land use, regional, county.) Many good things are being done to improve living in this rural county. It seems that the activities of these civic and-or social oriented groups need to be coordinated in order to do an effective job without duplication of effort. This would be worthwhile so the persons directly concerned with specific problems and the lay public would know and understand the existing activities.

The approach to solving this problem needs to be given a great deal of thought and.planning. Some preliminary work needs to be carried out first, such as: establish a rson-to-persori relationship with those in control; establish a more unified identity for Cooperative Extension; to explorg how Cooperative Extension fits into the total framework what support it can give, ami information and services Extension can provide. The Home Economics Division the time to explore, the ways in which they can make more persons aware of Home 'Economics Extension while still serving the present membership. We need to establish an identity as a resource for home economics information which can be used by all people. We also need the time to make personal contacts with agencies, educa- tionaj institutions, and other professionals in allied fields.

In the following broad objectives and specific Objectives for the 1968-1969 Plan of Work, we have tried to reflect our Intentions for carrying out the program taking into consideration our knowledge of the prevailing county situation. BROAD OBJECTIVES: ONE To provide home economics information and services to the people in Otsego County through an educational program, an informational center, and professional resource sons at the county and state levels. TWO-to help further the understanding of Home Economics Cooperative i activities with the Board of Directors, County Board of isors, governmental agencies, education institutions and industry. THREE To continue cooperating with the Agricultural and 4-H Divisions when feasible and appropriate in order to have a more unified county extension identity. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES (by priority) ONE To acquaint more homemakers in Otsego County with the activities and program of the Home Economics Division of Cooperative i evaluating by the number of non-members who participated in extension activities, questionnaires, and number and type of requests received.

TWO To provide a home economics program information and services to the Home Economics Division membership evaluating by questionnaires, number and types of requests received arid number of members that participate in Extension activities. THREE -To continue working with the Homemaker Teachers Service (Child Welfare Department of Social Services) by providing home economics information and personnel training if necessary, evaluating by personal contact and oral communication. FOUR To acquaint tho per- sonncl in the governmental agencies (especially those who are working with families) with the information, services, and programs available through the Home Economics i i i evaluating by the number and type of requests received. FIVE To explore the possibilities of how the Home Economics Division can support other continuing educational efforts, such as adult education, continuing educational in SUNY, and vocational education, evaluating by the results of contacts. The Iwnie economists of the Chcnango, Delaware, Otsego and Scholiaric i Cooperative Extension Associations have consented to cooperate in preparing a 13 week series of special articles on home improvements on a "do it yourself" basis, which will appear later in The Star,.
