Uncle Jim Says

We'll, folks, this is brand new column and we don't know how you are going to like is.
 Please excuse the mistakes as the kid that set next to me at school wasn't very smart.
 First, anyone wanting to buy genuine leopard skin rug, see Joseph Sposato. He has all sizes and shapes and is open for bids. Come one, come all.
 Phyllis Carter should be more careful where she puts her shopping lists. She made one out on the back of a reQuisition blank and it got around the whole victory yard. More fun.
 Joe. Davis of the machine shop hasn't given up the idea of trying to get date with certain girl not his fault. Keep trying Joe. May be her resistance Is low. Admiral Jim Beran is a pretty lucky guy to have the pleasure of adding a little bunch of honey like Rosilee, J. Cavoli to his roster at the Blue Print Department. Rosilee, who insists that you call her Lee, is a girl that makes men over 30 wish they were under 20, and men under 20 glad of it. What eyesl Um-um!
 Charley Morse has been elected to take over the finished Store house on the second shift for the V Yard. Everybody likes Charlie and I am sure he is welcome by all. Good luck, Charley, and don't miss the Great Gildersleeve.
 You can see that spring is here. How? Just watch Tony, the tiny bunt artist of the noontime ball games. He has actually shed his second pair of long flannels. Many search ends at E. B. for Scouts in search of ball players. It is expected that Dot Freeman and H. Tucker have caught Athe scouts eye. Dot Is being watched after making a sensational stop (with her chin) of hard hit line drive and Helen would do well at the cleanup point of the batting order. She hit a sizzling ground ball that went past three husky fielders and would have been a home run If it hadn't been for a brilliant stop by Dynamite Christy who made fine throw to the plate. Gosh! Gee Whiz! Helen never did get home that day.

MundeU Sets TentatiUe Cmd For BO1ing ShO,U Nest Thursday

be the sensational local sailor Al Valez, from the sub base, who is one of the cleverest fighters that Mundell ever handled. His oppon- ent Is unnamed as yet. Joe Gillig who handed Valez his only defeat, will also be on the card, opponent not named.
 Of interest to employees in the yard, Is the blood and thunder match between Bill (Sonny) Riley of the foundry and Solly Miller, Victory Yard. This should be a real battle all the way and what the boys might lack in boxing fnesse, won't be missing in nerve to belt 1t out toe to toe.
 It was hoped that Jackie Brown and Ken Crooks, from the stable of Al Albeit, would be on the card but 1t appears dubious at this time, whether either one will be around. Tn Gus Bounds, however, from the South Yard, their absence will be slightly erased because he has the same style that Is characteristic of these boys.
 Mundell, hopes to feature four six rounders and two four rounders and the best wishes for successful season are extended from this end.

Progress and Success go hand in
 hand, Rewarding all who aim and love
 the land, On every side we see the need of
 better ways, Going forward and planning for
 happier days; Remember what our history shows
 of honor bright, Each page of great events gives
 proof and light, Showing how truth and virtue may
 lead the world, Sure that justice and freedom fol-
 lows our Flag unfurled. All men love liberty, but millions
 have been slaves. Now oppression is over, and the
 tyrants in their graves, Do not lose your courage, be al-
 ways true and brave. Success in every action, be 1t great
 or small, Upon us is a duty, to gain from
 honors call.

We'll, boys, Bills holiday is over
 and I'm sure you will agree
 with me
 He never looked more fit and fine,
 as you can very well see. Persistent? Yes! But gentle soul
 and as timid as mouse When 1t comes to treating his new
 wife and being bOss?? in his
 own house.
 We thank you for your fine gift
 of knives and forks and spoons; It was very kind of you all and
 almost caused Bill to swoon. We do appreciate your thought and
 it will always be pleasure To remember you all, when we
 use any of these.

Farewell and stuff to Norma Young of Temporary Lights. How ever, our loss Is the Main Yards gain as our attractive and winsome miss has become a member of the drafting department in the Elec- tricians' Shop, Main Yard.
 There Is no need for the weather mans report on the conditions of the elements last Sunday by the looks of most of our fellow workers this week.

Boxing makes its debut next week Thursday at . place that will be announced by Promoter Jim Munde1l, within the next few days and if the tentative card Is any criterion of what the complete show will be, boxing should get off to a rousing good start around New London.
 Blocked by everybody and his Aunt Sadie in putting on bouts at the Ocean Beach auditorium, Nun dell thought he might have to put them under a tent at Mercer field but even though at the time this is being written, there isn't any, thing official about it, the chances of the show being put on at the beach are better then they were . month ago.
 Is'lis expected that if all goes well, Bobby Logan, who Is now in the Canadian air corps and is expected home on furlough, will be featured in the number one bout with his nemesis, Gus Levine. Any one who remembers that last scrap of theirs at the beach, won't want to miss this curtain call.

 have been hearing lot of com plaints about the canteen service for the past month or so, and after keeping my eyes and ears both in good working order, would like to state that the ones who have been doing most of the kicking are the ones that buy the least. And as for the party who thinks he pays too much for his food, would advise him to carry his dinner from home.
 In our shop on the second shift we get all we want at all times up to ten thirty, and our waitress, Mrs. Joseph, is sure doing a fine job and also keeps her booth in perfect order at all times.
 Miss Helen Lake, better known to us as "Giggles," will be Mrs. when she comes back to work. She is taking for bodyguard one of the cooks from the Coast Guard. Name unknown to the writer. We'll, Giggles you do not have to worry about the cooking.
 We on the second shift would like to hear something from the first shift: What is the matter? Has everyone broken their right arm?
 Topples are in bloom and so is love. We will soon be hearing wedding bells for Rita Provost and Lawrence Urubland, first class sea- man. Rita is one of our beautiful blonde haired painters on the first shift. Wishing you loads of hap pineSs, Rita; you deserve 1t. Hope you won't be leaving us.
 We would like to congratulate Frenchie Duchane on being the proud daddy of a pair of twins born recently. We have two crane men on the twin list at present. Stanley, you are not alone any more.
 We have female welders. and fe- male burners; we have female cleo tricians and female shipfitters; we have female pipefitters and female machinists; we have female ma- irons and female waitresses; but the best of all is our new females in the flat foot squad. We wonder what will happen when they come face to face with one of our wharf rats sitting up in the shop waiting for his evening meal.
 Better carry your night sticks, girls.
 Will leave you until the next issue.

Joe Rafferty SpikesRumOrs

Joe Rafferty, well known sports authority from way back, sent the following letter to the sports edi- of The Sub:
 MT. Gort Wilbur,
 Sports Editor,
 The Sub,
 GrOtOn, Connecticut.
 Dear GOrt:
 Would you grant me enough space in order to spike malicious rumors about the Morgan league which are untrue.
 It seems that some members of the Trojans, have spread the fact that they were frozen out of the opener and should have been al- lowed to play the Ockfords, as has been the custom for the champion the previous year to play the run- ner-up.
 They claim that the league is making this into money making scheme booking two clubs with major league talent for the opener and then at the last moment neither Babe Young of the Coast Guard Dolphins or Red Branch, would appear.
 Let me explain in detail each charge.
 In the first place, the league q was president at the time and asked then) asked the Ockfords, champions. and the Trojans to play the opening game. The Ockfords were willing but the Trojans were not.
 Bill Haase, who represented the Trojans that night, claimed that the E. B. would be working prac- tically every Sunday and that he would not be in favor of any Sum- day baseball. (Yet, less than a week later an announcement came out in the paper that the Diesels would have a team and would play Sunday exhibitions.)
 When the Ockfords heard about this they said that the same in that case would apply to them, as the Ockfords team Is composed of E. B. players. As the Willets A. C., the lone other civilian team, would also fall in this category, the only other two teanns in the league last year, the Bears and Dolphins, were asked and they ac- cepted. That these two teams had Branch and Young on their ros- ters, is a coincidence but the league was not going to discour- age 1t.
 Thanks lot, Gort, for anything you can do to set the boys right
 Yours in sports,
 Joseph Rafferty,
 Secretary of Morgan League.

TU NORA
 By AUDREY HENDERSON

Walking down Front Street the other day, noticed the prepara- tions the King Islanders were making on their departure for home. The King Islanders have really carved ivory this summer on a mass production basis. A few complained of sweat-shop conditions. But beautiful cary ing was accomplished for all the world to see and admire and love. Many pieces have been shipped to the United State while many pieces have found their way to Europe and Africa The Alaska Eskimos have shown in the past very high talent in carving of weapons, tools. uten. sis, and ornaments. Although their carving tools were always very rude, it is in the various stages of the beautiful carvings the modern scientists have traced the Eskimo history. Even today the Eskimo carving tools are crude and hard to handle. It is the patience and endless toll that results in the beautiful objects of art. It is worthless Eskimo who won't make an effort to decorate in an artistic manner all of his possessions. Although the designs of today are beautiful, the artistic skill of the Eskimo has degenerated. It has only been in the recent few years when the advent of war in this hemisphere that the markets have anxiously called for more ivory carving, that the Eskimo has come into his own again. When one takes the carving at it's best, it is to be compared with the worlds great art. The carv- ing tools in ancient times were simple tools of flint and it was the advent of the traders which caused the Eskimo ivory carvers to be able to use steel tools. The bow is still used to propel the drill into the ivory, making small holes and circles and dainty small animals. The ivory is usually held in the hands or be- tween the knees, thus giving strength and tensity to the carv- CT. Lines and polishing are still done with files and chamois skin made of seal. The events of the Eskimo life were usually etched for the benefit of the coming generations as history. Today the Eskimo has branched out to carve many things for the white man that does not bear on Eskimo history.
 Next year we shall look for ward to seeing the King Island CTS once again. The pulling of their skin boats up or the Nome beach shall announce once more that spring and summer are real ly here.

Uncle Roy's Corner

Lately there has been much talk
about the worlds oil supply. Some
persons say we are in danger Of
running out Of gasoline in from II
to is years.
What a change that would mean
in our ways of life! Millions of mo-
tor cars need gasoline, and how
could we get along If they were all
put away?
Air travel is in danger, too. What
shame It would be to lose the
quick transport which airplanes
give!
Before we grow too gloomy, how
ever, let us remember several facts.
In the first place, new oil fields
have been found year after year all
through the present century. 1t is
likely that others will be located
during the time to come.
And we can count on good work
by our scientists. They will find
new ways Of making fuel. Even
now 1t is possible to turn alcohol
into fuel for automobiles.
Perhaps most cheering Of all is
the fact that We shall be able to
mine oil in the future. Instead Of
taking it from wells, we can get a
great deal Of it from soil in at least
one part Of the world.
Canada has a vast field of oil
soaked sand. 1t is in northern Al
berta and contains thousands Of
millions of barrels of DILL
The field was discovered more
than 80 years ago, but clear proof
that the oil can be marketed has
come only lately Thanks to the
Alaskan highway, the problem of
transport is being met. Good roads
can be laid to connect that high
way with the mines.
The thick, black oil taken from
the sand produces lighter -colored
crude oil after being heated. The
lighter oil can be refined into gaso-
line.
The beds of oil sands are along
side the Athabaska River and its
branches. Some of them are from
100 to 225 feet deep.
Oil experts say that the gasoline
probably will be of grade as high
as 80 octane. They estimate that
the beds close to the surface will
produce at least 100000 barras Of
oil
The deeper beds of this oil sand
can raise the amount far higher.
An official has placed the total oil
content between 100000 100000 and
0000,0 900 barrels. That would
take care Of the worlds needs for
from so to 125 years.

Natures Children
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.
BLUE GULARIS
(Fundulopanchar caeruleum). J.

(FUnduLOpGnchGE cGeTuLenm).
One never questions the state
ment that the blue gularis is one of
our most beautiful fish. To watch
the colorful male darting rapidly
about through the water is to be re-
minded of an exquisite jewel.
These fish are from the Dutch
East Indies and Africa, by some
known as the ribbon-tail and by
others as the lyre-tail, because of
the shape and color of the tail.
AS is usual among natures chill
dren, the males are the more color
fully attired, the female being in
conspicuously clothed in fish-green
with rounded caudaI and dorsal fins.
Her mate has a beautiful blue and
green uniform with rows of bril-
liantly colored scarlet scales. The
dorSal and anal fins are elongate,
decorated in orange and blue. The
lyre-shaped tail is striped, and it's
inner curves are velvety black. The
Evening star., 1943-10-09

central portion of the Tyre is orange.
Patience and understanding of the
habits of these fish is necessary be-
cause of the long period needed for
incubation. The eggs require five
to six weeks to hatch. Many things
can happen to them during this
time. 1t is said the parents may
feast upon them The young fry
also must be provided protection so
that larger neighbors do not eat
them.
The parents should be kept sepa-
rate for week or two and fed on
nourishing food. Then they should
DE established in a warm, sunny
tank furnished with thick floating
Utricularia or Riccia.
After the first day carefully In
spect the plants for eggs. These
should be removed to a Matching
jar. New plants must be put in the
tank where the parents are living.
When the babies step from their
shells, they should be fed on young
daphnia. Do not overfeed them.
When they are strong enough to
fight their battles and find ther food
they may be introduced into larger
tank with neighbors.
In a large, established tank
the eggs are so we'll hidden among
aquatic plants that the parents do
not find them. Still, few fish reach
maturity compared with the number
OF eggs laid. This is a wise plan of
Nature: otherwise, man would have
a gigantic problem indeed.
Blue gularis get along beauti-
fully with their neighbors. They
are peaceful fish, with no yen for
fighting. Their contentment in the
aquarium and their brilliant colors
make them favorite fish for small
as we'll as large aquariums. If one
follows the directions for the care
OF goldfish no difficulties should be
experienced
