Upolu and Savaii. The sisters are
bigger, richer, more fertile and to-
gether four time as heavily popu-
lated as America Tutuila.
Upolu and Savaii were German
until World War I, when Japan
and Britain divided up the Kaiser's
South Seas, first by force and then
by secret treaty in February, 1917,
after the United States was COM
mitted to a break with Germany.
At Versailles, President Wilson made
a wavering effort to break the Sc
cret treaties and put Samoa under
the American flag. When he yielded
to Britain and Japan. the two larger
Samoan sisters were given under
mandate to New Zealand, and to-
day they are U. N. trustceships.

Samoa Growing Fast
AsU. 5. Charge After
Serving as War Base

PAGO PAGO, American Samoa
fCDN Samoa, Uncle Sans lovely
Polynesian daughter below the
equator, is putting up her hair and
asking to be noticed.
The green island of the American
South Seas, known to few Ameri-
cans and understood by fewer, is
mulling over serious things like
citizenship and democracy. Our up
snd-coming brown daughter by
adoption is plunging into civics and
economics. She shucked her grass
skirt generation ago and she is
fast growing out of bobbysox.
Postwar Samoa has a new high
school full of students en- route to
American colleges. Elderly chiefs
are still hanging onto their power
but book learning is pushing them
out.
Samoa did her bit as a trans
Pacific base during the war. She
met about 10000 Americans, mostly
Marines. Now they are gone and
the drama Of the summer boarders
and the farmers daughter has hit
the September stage.
Island Is II Miles Long.
Samoa is back on breadfruit and
Navy checks, but she is not after
more pocket money.
American Samoa S household name
is Tutuila Tutuila is a craggy
green island II miles long and about
across, with an extra archipelago
called Manua tagging it 80 mNes to
the east
We adopted Tutuila because of
her harbor, Pago Pago pronounced
''Pango PangoD, and usually short
ened to "Pango." Pago Pago is a |
tropical ford, two miles long and
100 feet deep, trimmed at water level
with naval docks, radio stations,
bush stores and missionary churches,
and above that with hundreds of
feet of green breadfruit and COCO
nut palms. Her climate is cool and
healthy.
The Navy of the McKirley-Roose-
velt-Mahan-Lodge period wanted
the long green fjord, its easily netted
narrow entrance, and the protection
against observed shellfire provided
by its towering cliffs. Britain, Ger
many and France had divided up
the rich islands of the Central Pa
cific. We got Pago Pago as an ell
bow coaling base en- route to Asia |
,Tutuila has two Samoan sisters,

Apia, had about 5000 dates with
the free-spending marines. Fertile
and rich, Upolu never leaned on
the dollar or the Devildog like
Tutuila, but she got fine airf1eld,
nevertheless. Savaii, the big west
ern sister, did not date any marines
and today has neither regrets nor
memories.

sponsors and they expected us to
set new distance record every
time we competed. Torger Toxic
and | worked together. If | went
first, and landed okay, Id turn
around at the bottom and signal
to Torger. Then he'd know he
could really bear down and still
hold the slope. If you overshoot
and land on fiat ground, you're in
trouble. l did that last year and
broke leg. So make sure you
practice on a jump that has a long
enough slope to hold you, no
matter how far you leap"
The take-off is all-important,
and the experts spend long hours
wrangling over whether the end of
the chute should point straight
out, slightly upwards, or slightly
downwards. The angle may be
altered by piling on or shaving off
a bit of packed snow. Art, being
fairly light, prefers a slight upturn
to increase his distance. A big fel-
low, however, builds up more mo-
mentum coming down the chute,
would prefer a downward angle.
It Takes Muscle
ART has found that water skiing
and cycling are good conditioning
exercises for the ski jumper. Re
member, you're toting nineteen
pound skis when you zoom through
the air." he says, land it takes
real muscle to keep them in line"
Getting set for jump, Devlin
stands as far back from the top
edge of the chute as possible. Then.
he digs his skis against the board
backstop and charges forward like
a commuter racing for the BIS.
you've seen a fellow creep out
Evening star., 1948-02-29

on the diving board" Art explains.
Hell gaze down until he's got
the heebie-jeebies, and end up
with cold feet. The same thing
could happen to a ski jumper"
looming down the icy incline,
Art doubles into a knot to reduce
wind resistance. When he springs
upward and outward, the air slaps
against him like a door slamming
in his face. In another second, he's
gliding toward the snowy slope at
70 miles an hour.
Not a HeEcopter
BUT don't say Pm waving my
arms like Bird" Art cautions. Il
may give couple of twirls at the
take-off to gather momentum, but
if have to flap 'em after that it's
because I'm off balance. Always
remember you're trying to initiate
a glider, not a helicopter."
What about fear?" Devlin is
often asked. Il get butterflies in
my stomach before the first try"
he answers, but that happens in
every sport. You'll have 'em, too.
I'm not scared as long as I'm on a
well-built jump with plenty of
landing slope. This isn't dam
gerous sport If you know
what you're doing"
The record bears him out. Five
thousand leaps were made on two
of Lake Placid's slides, with only
three bone fractures. In Switzer-
land, tricky winds upset a Nor
wegian named Carlsen, and he
landed on his head. He was jump
ing again the next season.
That's the kind of determina-
ton you need" Art observes. IF
you've got it, I can teach you"
Evening star., 1948-02-29

on skis is easy just
watch Olympic Ace Art
Devlin hit the chute
VoU, too, can soar through the
Il air like bird. All you need
are l9-pound skis, a fine sense of
balance, lightning-fast reactions,
double-indemnity life insurance
and a good teacher.
One of the best instructors you
could find would be handsome,
24-year old Art Devlin, a key
man on our Winter Olympic jump
ing team. Art, who has leaped
255 feet. believes he could teach
any athletic adult to jump modest
distances. Fundamentals, of
course, would come first. You
would begin on a ledge about 10
or IL feet above an open slope.
That's the way Art started.
When he was only four years old
he was jumping from a 20-foot
snow pile in his back yard in Lake
Placid, N. Y. Skis were lashed to
his shoes with rubber bands.
Before I'd agree to teach you,
I'd make sure you wanted to jump
more than anything else in the
world" Art says. you've got to
be the kind of fellow who isn't
happy unless he's about to leap, or
has just finished.
