EVELYN STEFANSSON:
SHE THINKS AND TALKS "ARCT|C"

The Stefansson Polar Library in
New York City needed librarian.
Just then Evelyn Schwartz Baird
breezed by, between jobs. How
would you like to be our librar-
ian?' DR.. Vilhjalmur Stefansson.
the famous Arctic explorer, asked
her.
why, I'd love to, but I've al
ways been the artist type, rather
than the intellectual. Besides, l
can't even typewrite," she replied.
DR.. Stefansson had been ac-
quainted for IA years with this
tall, vivacious, dark-haired young
woman and knew her worth. You
can do it, he assured her You're
bright-and curious. You can learn
to typewrite.'
So, she went at the job with
her usual whirlwind intensity,
learned to typewrite in two weeks
flat, and went to work in the
Library directly. That was in 1889
In 1941 she became Mrs. Vilhjal-
muir Stefansson and she solemnly
declares that it is only after ii
years that she can really pro-
nounce her husbands first name,
For Evelyn Stefansson, life has
always been an amazing adven-
ture, one into which she continu-
ously throws herself wholeheart-
eddy AS librarian, she loves meet
ing and talking to the explorers
whom she invites to lunch, she
says, and then makes them pay
for it by answering countless ques-
tons.
All this experience, plus her own
research among the thousands OF
volumes in the Stefansson Polar
Library, the largest of its kind in
the world, and her husbands I'M
varying enthusiasm for the Polar
regions, fired Mrs. Stefansson to
such a pitch she had to do some
thing about it. So she sat down
summers in their country home
near Bethel, Vermont, and wrote
two stories for children about the
country she has come to know so
well. And, believe it or not, she
chuckles, these two books, Here
is Alaska now in it's 18th print
ing, and within the Circle" her
latest book, have sold more copies
already than any one of DR.. Stef-
ansson's II books.
Since 1910 she has been working
on geographical research reports
for the Army Air Forces, and since
1941 she and her husband and
their research staff have been
working for the photographic Of
flee of the United States Navy,
compiling and writing Sailing Di-
rections of Arctic Waters. These,
she explains, are "Baedeckers" of
the coast line and waters, with pre-
else information about depths, an
chorages, facilities at ports, ap-
pearance of landmarks, etc, fc~
the use of navigators. It is prob
ably the first time women have
been so employed in the United
States, she continues, and she has
found the work fascinating. She
had to learn an entirely new tech
nique and Technology in order to
help prepare the series of four
coast pilots" as the Sailing Direc-
tons are called.
Mrs. Stefansson accompanied
her husband to Colorado not long
ago where he taught the Ski
Troopers how snow houses can b.
built in less than an hour. Now
she is preparing for an imminent
northern jaunt with her husband
to the Arctic. They will go by

Iceland Bases Are
Important, Says Russia

MOSCOW, March 4.-The Inter-
national Review of Red Fleet de-
clared yesterday that Iceland's
strategic position on the North At
lantic sea route was of Importance
to "other powers" as we'll as to
the United States.
"Icelandic public opinion be-
lieves that giving bases to the
United States may lead other pow
ers to make claims for obtaining
strongholds in this district" The

by the city, Chamber President E.
L. White replied that Farrell is now
giving 80 per cent of his time to
his industrial efforts and only about
10 per cent to supervision of cham
Der activities.
1t appeared likely from COM

that before the industrial agent S

be requested to discontinue his
Chamber duties and possibly tc
move his office to the city hall.
The 1946-47 fiscal year will mark
the first full year of the operation
of the industrial agents office and
the budget for that agency is ex.
pected to approximate $40. 600.

Believes Farrell Should Sever
Chamber Of Commerce Connections

The concensus of the city council
yesterday was that City Industrial
Agent John H. Farrell should sever
his official connections with the
Chamber of Commerce and devote
MS full time to the job of interest
ing new industries in locating in
Wilmington.
Mayor W. Ronald Lane said,
however, that no official discussion
OF the matter had as yet been held
by the council and that no official
action would be taken until the
next city budget meeting, tentative
~ scheduled for early this we *.
The proposed move, which ap-
parently is %favorably looked upon
by a majority of the council, is ex-
pected to encounter opposition from

The attack came as the Arab ex-
ecutive in a full session fatty re-
jected the British-American cabi-
net committee proposal to divide
Palestine into federally governed
Arab and Jewish provinces, and re-
fused 'to sit with Jews or partici-
pate with Jews in any manner in
any conference"
This announcement was made by
DR.. Hussein. Khalidi, secretary OF
the executive, shortly after DR.. L.
Eat famous, retiring secretary of
the Arab higher committee, de-
clared that adoption of such a plan
would mean perpetual war in the
middle east"
DR.. famous said that from the
Arab point of view no solution can
be accepted unless it recognizes
the just claims of the Arabs on the
basis of their natural rights in their
homeland"
DIR. Khalidi released this resolu-
ton, which he said was passed by
the executive:
Whereas the Arabs of Palestine
have repeatedly refused to sit with
Jews in any conference: therefore
be it resolved that the Arab execu-
tive refuses now to sit with Jews
or participate with Jews IN any
manner in any conference.
THE executive further refuses to
accept the idea of partition in any

"The partition S c h e m e was
unanimously refused by the Arabs
of Palestine in 1887 and was proved
by the Woodhead commission the
following year to be impracticabls

DIR. Khalidi said the Arabs had
refused time and again to par
ticipate with the Jews in talks be-
cause I'VE do not consider them

sion of the future of Palestine"

 After a careful survey. Amyets has this to say of vets who are back in schools and colleges: There is re- lative superiority of our present veterans over both non-veterans and pre-war students"
 Amvets doesn't think veterans should be treated as a special group of persons who need more eau tious handling than others"
 That's pretty much the outlook of another World War II veterans outfit with a similar name - the American Veterans Committee. The A. V. c. seems to go thought fully and loftily farther. It has made a job for itself thatll take a lot of hard work and planning to square away.
 The A. V. c. has an internal col- bring and believes that the estab- lishment of an international veter- ans committee will do lot toward getting rid of war. It was the only new vet organization to be repre- sented at the United Nations Con- ference at San Francisco. Its heart is given to the idea of some kind of world union.
 It believes that no one group can do more toward setting up a peace thatu stick than the veterans - not only the American eX-servicers, but also the war veterans of other countries, people who know what war is, who have been messed up with the stink of it. and who don't like the futility of it.
 The latest tally on A. V. C.'s mem- bership totals around ten thousand.

Today I'm taking a short breather These articles, for a period of year now, have been explaining laws and news and regulations-and stuff like that-which affect us as soon as we become ex-seryice men.
 What I want to do today is just to write few words about veterans organizations that have sprung up since Pearl Harbor.
 Maybe you remember that, some few articles back, told about some of the old-line, well-established vet erans' outfits that got going after World War l, and now boast mem berships in the millions.
 Yet many world war II vets think they should have their own outfits by getting together with their buddies of their war. I'm not arguing for or against any of these new organ ization I just want to mention a few for the record.
 Probably the largest of the new veterans outfits is the American Veterans of World War Two" quick ly known as ''Amvets". (Not to be confused with the American Veter- ans Committed It's hard to say exactly how many Global War vets have Amvet membership cards, but the figure is in the vicinity of 20 thousand.
