SOMEIHlNG NEW IN BYLAWS
 (By Pauline R. Reynolds in The Country Gentleman)
 If you think club bylaws pretty cut and dried {though necessary you'll find these framed by the Es- kimo Woman's Club of Unalakleet, Alaska rather re- freShing.
 Here examples:
 Each mother must bathe her child every week
 Children must be put to bed by o'clock.
 Honor and obey your husband.
 There other rules, too relating to dues and regu- lar attendance of the clubs 43 members but these give clue some conditions the Arctic Circle which clubWomen trying to change. For example it's long been custom among the EskmOs for the entire family to stay up late at night that neither adults ch dren want to get up in the morning. One school in the Arctic met the problem of low attendance by serving brakfaSt to the children who reached school time.
 Since an X-ray survey showed number of active of tuberculosis in this native village and since the average Eskimos life span is only 45 years club bers have begun an aggressive health program Their first thought for the school children who get nutrtonay balanced meal each noon For this men of the village furnish wild meat (the blood is frozen for use later in soup) and the supply vegetables and berries
 year ago the club bought the first pressure cooker the members had seen. Among the foods canned caulfloWer greens, though growing vegetables is not unfortunately practice among many Es- kmos. Unalakleet plant and for vegetable gardens, while the men work in fish cannereS.
 All of the club members are Esknos, but American like Brown and Smith be found on the club roll along with Agibnik, Nashoalok and Nanouk. The club charges members 50 cents dues per year In the four years since it's organization it has not ony mprov ed the level of child and homemaking but it has provided interests for the village Unaakleet needs these, for although is the Berng Sea has har bor to receive ships and be reached only by plane and dog sled
 community fair has been educational and recre- etona project In the handicraft division women dis play mittens parkas and winter boots called mukluks all made from skins which have been tanned and sewed together with sinew by the women It's form of need leork which requires not only hands but teeth we'll and the Eskimo women gradually wear down their teeth by this ancient method Knitted clothing and carved ivory displayed also among the handicrafs
 There horses in the village and therefore no horse at the fair but dog teams and reindeer prove just exciting
 In addition to starting the fair, the club has,
 Sponsored food sales twice year netting $604, of the proceeds going for the school lunch project
 Entertained the superintendent of the Alaska Native Service and asked him for improved schools where their children can learn better English.
 Sought lower freight rates from the commercial air lines serving Unalakleet.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
While going through my old note
looking for something to put in thi,
weeks column, I came across this
little bit of nonsense and pass il
on to you without any comment.
She's an angel in truth, a demon
in fiction.
A woman's the greatest of all con-
tradictions;
She's afraid of a cockroach. shell
scream at a mouse,
But she'll tackle husband as bic
as a house.
She'll take him for better, shell
take him for worse:
She'll split his head open and then
be his nurse;
And when he is well and gets out
of his bed
She'll pick up teapot and throw
at his head.

sighted and blind;
She's crafty, she's simple. she's
cruel, she's kind.
She'll lift man up, she'll tear
him down.
She'll make him her hero. her
ruler, her clown.
You imagine she's this but you
find that she's that,
For she'll play like a kitten and
light like a cat.
In the morning she will in the
vening she won't
And you're always expecting she |
will when she won't.

There Is no solid ground yet
for settling on any one predic-
ton Of Russia's likely course.
but wisdom and regard for our
security dictate that we examine
the potentialities of the situation.
President Truman has expressed
the belief that the Russians are
acting in good faith in their over
lures for settling the blockade,
and there is no reason yet for
doubling their sincerity on this
point at least. although future
actions will be the test.
But conceding that the Rus
slams really want to settle the
Berlin issue, and assuming that
an agreement can be reached on
the basis that a foreign ministers
meeting will be held in the near
future on all of Germany-what
could happen then?
May Adopt Tougher Stand.
One possibility-not to be ruled
out by the appearance Of peaceful
intent in which the Russians have
wrapped themselves-is the adop-
ton Of a much tougher and more
aggressive Soviet position on the
whole of Germany when the
foreign ministers do meet.
AS a matter of fact. in view OF
Russias apprehensions over the
Atlantic Pact and the Marshall
Plan there is reason to expect q
much broader attack on the whole
position of the United States In
Europe. The presentation of q

sensible and reasonable, I think

Farm Interest Keen.
In general. farm prices are de-
clining while harvests continue tc
be abundant. Naturally this keeps
farm interest keen in all price sup
port proposals.
Republicans admit that, until
the farmer has spoken. their party
won't take any position ofiicially
They realize their power is CEN
tered in the Middle West and that
they have to re-elect Senators IN
Kansas. Missouri. Iowa, Indiana
and Ohio.
One thing they are doing Is
fighting the Truman Brannan
campaign charge that the s0th
Congress denied farmers grain
storage facilities. Their argument
is that the Government could have
managed to find storage facilities
If 1t had wanted to, that actually
1t sold such facilities.
Nevertheless. the elevators here
are bursting with grain as the new
harvest starts to ripen. Farmers
remember they had wheat lying on
the ground until November last
year and they aren't happy about
the situation.

could well try to find out If q
