Woman Minister of Commerce
Sees Training As Vital Asset


first Swedish cabinet minister who
curtsied before the Kig is 56-year-
old Karin X C k. Seldom has a
woman been so we'll received. in
a position never before held by a
woman, as Miss Kock was by the
whole Swedish press when she was
appointed last April.
1t was, of course, a clever move
by the Social Democratic govern
men to appoint a woman-who is
always news-to take up a vacant
seat following the not-so-popular
Gunnar Myrdal, former Minister
of Commerce, who left to take up
a position as head of the UN's
hew Economic Commission for Eu
rope Yet Miss Kock is regarded
as a most reliable economic eX-
pert; and that is what Sweden
needs to fight initiation, her great
est problem for the moment amidst
a tremendous lack OF manpower
for all kinds of jobs.
Her Field of Service Wide
At the time of her appointment,
Karin Kock was not only profess
sor in National Economy at the
University of Stockholm. but also
assistant secretary to the Depart
ment of Commerce.
If the Swedish women had
hoped for a woman member of the
cabinet to solve many urgent ques-
lions connected with the develop
ment of the home, education, the
political and social position of
women, they were disappointed.
For, though Miss Kock for many
years has played an important
part in the women's movement in
Sweden, she started by declaring
that the task would be strictly linn
tied to solving questions of eco
nomic planning and rationalizing
of the Swedish industry and to
taking care of the most urgent
projects. among which are t h e
building of government = w n e d
steel works in Lapland and an
Gil cross-country conduit.
Miss Rocks career is, for Swed-
ish conditions. an interesting one,
as she has changed her profess
sion thrice. She studied mathe-
mates before she started as a
bank clerk and won a certain po-
sition in the bank world. But
when she found t h a a woman
probably would not be placed in a
high executive pest in any bank
she walked out and started again,
this time to study national econ
omy and so took her doctors de-
gree.
She then became, for marry
years, Mrs Myrdars assistant pro-
fessor, until she began to take part
in the state administration as head
secretary of many economic inves-
legations for the government. And
today the proudest bank directors
have to listen to what Karin kock
tells them.
Miss Kock is vice-president of

came padding along in a kayak, and as one photographer has so aptly remarked, "that is one picture I didn't get" I didn't have my camera with me! Just about this time, with the use of binocu- lars. I spied dog team far out on the ice. They told me later that as the ice was getting rotten" it would not be safe to attempt it again for some time.
 Finally the men from the base arrived in their weasels and alli- gators, and the ball game got un- der way. The baseball diamond is on the beach. It amazed me with what speed they could run in that ankle deep, coarse sand. The sand did not seem to impede their base running. They play a seven-inning game and soft ball instead of the regulation hard baseball is used Though the Eskimos take it very seriously, there is friendly rivalry between them no matter which side wins. This time the men from the base won, by just one run. The group of spectators presented bright, colorful picture. There were women with babies tucked into the hoods of their parkas; young boys and girls, and older men and women. all wearing parkas made of materials in motley assort- enent of colors-practically every color in the rainbow. It was inter- esting to watch their faces. All seemed to understand the game, and they cheered as enthusiastic ally for one side as for the other.
 The wind blew constantly. and it was very chilly. Even though the sun was very high at 10 p.m., the temperature was around 40 de- greeS and heavy wraps were neceS- Sary to keep warm. During the summer the sun never dips below the horizon Now as the sun was so high and so bright, it cast beautiful reflection, and painted a golden-red path across the lagoon

After supper, folks began to gather on the beach. In the eve nings. weather permitting, they have baseball games between the Eskimo men and boys. and the men from the base. While waiting for the game to get started, I strolled around and casually re- marked. "I must dip my hands in the Arctic Ocean," and proceeded to do so. Now the Eskimos, especi- ally the children, are quite curious, and of course l was newcomer from the Outside to them, so they gathered around to watch me and shortly they, too. were playing in the water and making great sport of it. While I was thus engaged, an Eskimo man with a baby in his lap

Some times, later on, a fog bank ob- scures the bright rays of the sun, and tonight heavy fog did come rolling in, though it was bright all night long. Dark, heavy shades were closely drawn but still the bright light filtered through.
 The next uay was Sunday and I attended the services at the church. This church, known as the Ootea- vich Presbyterian Church, is main- tained by the Presbyterian Board of Missions with Reverend Sam Lee as minister. The building is fairly large, white frame, having two square towers topped by Steeples, one at the main entrance. the other a bit to the back of the structure. One of the former mem- bers of this Eskimo church, Roy Ahmaogak, is now on ordained Presbyterian minister in charge of the church at Wainwright about one hundred miles south by west of Barrow. The Eskimos gathered from all directions They were garbed in their gay summer Sum- day parkas-heavy quilted gar mentS, some of their hoods edged with fur, with babies tucked snug ly in, seemingly content. Formerly there had been great loss and mutilation of books belonging to the church, so now each has his own Bible and hymnal and they take great pride in faithfully bringing them to the services and keeping them in good condition. Books are especially provided for visitors, so as l approached the building a young Eskimo girl was waiting at the entrance to give them to me.
 There were wooden benches for peWs, and this is quite convenient for the women especially, as they just lean against the backs of the benches and let the babies, snug
 
 gled in the hoods of their parkas, bulge out in the space between the bars of the back rest. Apparently it does not bother the babies for there was never even a Whimper of protest. As the church was crowded, I noted that many could

that raced Is miles from Gunston

traditional race home concluded

Saturday. Orme was leading for
time, but his crew was too light
to keep Bfue Water going at her
best. She finished fourth and re-
manned in that position on corrected
time.
The Marquardt brothers, sailing
their fast star boat White Shadow,
continued their role of always a
bridesmaid. but never a bride. They
were first to finish, as on Saturday,
but their handicap dropped them to
seventh.
