We don't want 20 find Il
necessary 70 speak q this again.
ASIDE from that. and despite
the fact that We couldn't find
ANYBODY theresb bouts who
seemed much interested in the
matter. STSC is fixing to launch
again.
Chief difference between the
Cape Cleare. slated for Friday
afternoon launching. and her
previous sisterships is that the
former has brilliant green
boot-topping and looks very
smart and somewhat yachty.
Oh yes. Before we forget II
again. for the record well note
that the hailing ports Of the
three ships look like SO: Cape
.alava Of Tacoma, Cape Flattery
OF Seattle. Cape Cleare OF Port
land.
Ultimately the Cape Cleare's
topsides VIII be painted alumni
mum. but for the nonce mere
red-lead and rust will be much in
evidence.
We had to be told-some
months ago it was. however
that rusting is welcomed on
steel ships under construction:
II removes a coating known as
mill-scale. which has TO be taken
off in any event before paint can
be applied. Pneumatic wire
brushes FURNISH off the rust and
give the painters fine slick
surface TO work upon.)
And we stood around one day
this week and morbidly waited
for a machinery breakdown or
something during the process OF
stepping the stout steel cargo
masts aboard the Cape Alava.
No such luck, and everything
went along very smoothly-no
excitement al all.
Incidentally. the Cape Alava
is beginning to look like a real
ship since that operation, shes
definitely beyond the hulk stage
and day by day nearing the time
for trial runs at sea, slated for
shortly after New Years hang
overs are cured.
And about the only thing left
TO say about STSC is that the
payroll has been upped notch
and there are now more thar
1.400 names on il.

The coast guards cutter
Northland. which has been en-.
gagged in an extensive ice obser-
vation-patrol. recently reported
from Baffin Bay that floating
ice is not only a serious menace
TO navigation but is much. much
bigger than this department
ever dreamed.
As matter Of official record.
the Northland logged one berg
which stood 406 feet out Of
water.
A bit Of hasty arithmetic on
the basis that ice floats with
only one-ninth Of its bulk show
ing above water, reveals that
aforementioned berg was some
$3.50 feet high-roughly 90
mile,
And not satisfied with that
monster, the Northland con-
tinued her way and later logged
another berg which was meas
ured at 2.3 miles long, albeit
projecting only As feet out OF
water. What's more, there were
two polar bears fussing around
atop it.

cerned about herself and her own
desires. Middle Aged.
Dear Miss Grey:
May I add a few words 10 the
argument started by the Bride !?
think this young woman Is
all wrong. / think any person
a wife or a husband-has a right
to take out q certain time each
week IL that person wishes to do
so. For one mate to sulk and
whine and demand all of anothers
time-is to me a matter of sheer
est folly.
I have been married almost 20
years. When my husband wants
to 70 out with his friends never
question him and he never makes
me feel like an unloyed wife
merely because he wants to have
company other than my own.
The trouble with most OF US wo-
men Is that we think selfishly--
we will not concede the fact that
a man has q right to live his own
life, despite the fact that he was
brave enough to say goodbye.
everybody" when he got married.
We women are a funny lot. l
don't think much of US as a gen
eral rule.

Dear Miss Grey: SO the bride
feels disconsolate because her poor
husband wants to take time out"
each week and play cards with a
few old friends.
What a selfish and foolish bride.
! am afraid she is taking herself
too seriously-too selfishly. None
Of us can afford TO do that.
When I was a bride l had the
idea that my husband, To be gal
liant and fair. would always have
TO cater to my every within. A
foolish supposition-and one that
! soon learned to forget. Ny hus-
band was fair and square, but he
would not tolerate any OF my
hysterical ideas, so. (having an
average amount of intelligence). l
Immediately tried practicing the
$3.50 idea of marriage. ! profited
by 1t because the bitter arguments
that were started 30 soon after
marriage, ceased to exist when /
learned to be a woman-not a
selfish child.
A man has a right to time out"
in marriage and a woman does,
too. When men and women start
in doing failing" act, they can
look for matrimonial trouble.

has had to learn her way about,
