Letter to the E ditor

Dear Editor:
 A friend has just sent me your editorial from the Kodiak MIRROR entitled Goodwill Tour?"
 1 am writing at once to
 point out that the telephone call described in this article never took place at all. l am sure MT. Schott will confirm the fact that l never before had the pleasure of speaking to him either on the telephone or in any other way until the time of my courtesy call at his office. Certainly MT. Schott would be right in refusing to go to the base under the cir cumstances you ~ describe. Nothing infuriates me more either than supposed "big shots" trying to throw their
 weight around". No school superintendent of the many I have called on has ever gone out to military bases or an air.
 field to meet me. There is not
 the slightest reason why one |of them should. ...
 It is true that when l met MT. Schott in his office
 he said something about being
 sorry that he had been too busy to go out to the naval station" and also something a. bout a telephone call regard. ing it. l commented at the time that had sent no such message. but I knew that Adm. Wagner had instructed
 one of his officers to make a car available for transporta- 1 tion and to telephone MT. i Schott and MT. Lawvere that l was coming. hoping to call on them. My recollection is that MT. Schott's mention of this
 other phone call and our prompt clarification of it hap pened to occur after your re-
 porter left Mir. Schott's office. Nevertheless I am utterly as- tonished to read the editorial and of course deeply grieved
 at the injury which may have been done the University by lit.
 The trip to Kodiak was not
 made as part of a goodwill i tour of the territory" (the ;idea of such a name for it has
 never been mine) but on this
 occasion primarily to confer
 with Adm. Wagner about the
 possibility of the University

Town Habits

Because the small suburban which the Tagura Transit Co. has been using for a special town and base run did not turn out to be s'what we wanted", Burl Clymer has sold it to MT. and Mrs. Glen Banks of the City Market.
 Banks said he will have the red part painted black so that the car will match his new black and yellow sign on the front of the store.
 Among the graduating sen- iors are lone Norton and Iver Malutin. lone, a year younger than Iver, is his niece, Says lone, "I bet Pm the first girl who ever got her uncle through school!" They have gone through the entire IF grades together. :.
 Who says Kodiak isn't a dogs town, with canines get ting special privileges? Take the case of Bill Lowe, who re- gently arrived here as a civil ian engineer at the base. His wife is due on the next Funs- ton, but his dog, scotty, has to come by plane, and arrived this week via PIMA. :.
 Miss Margaret Gum, who was a public health nurse a. ound Kodiak Island until she retired recently, has gone back east, and somewhere in Connecticut addressed a women's church group. She sent a clipping of the new paper report of it to Nurse Marion Curtis, with the note: It must have been a master piece of confusion.
 According to the story, Miss Gum said there are three groups who inhabit the inland: Aleuts, Indians and Eskimos! ,, Miss Gunn", the story con- tinues, ''had her headquarters on Juno which is one of the five villages on Kodiak Is- land."
 The article concluded that beautiful slides incolor taken by Miss Gum were most in- teresting and enlightening too with such gorgeous coloring in the flowers that were in bloom and sunsets too vivid to imagine

Eawvere but lost that oppor- tunity when the night before (we) were driven down by bad weather. and were for ced to spend the night on the banks of the Tustumena River. Having no pre-arranged schedule with MT. Schott we decided to make up the lost halliday by cutting my visit to MT. Schott and Mir. Law were down to a short courtesy call only.
 It is true that l am greatly uninformed as yet about the educational needs of the im- portant Kodiak region. ;. and would like to make good that deficiency as soon and as often as l can get away from my desk to do so. l think the only way for me to do that is to call upon the school superinten- dents of the various high schools, and take sufficient time to go thoroughly into their educational problems and needs. I did not expect to be able to accomplish much of this at the time of my brief courtesy call upon MT. Schott as obviously it would be nec- essary to spend a full day and more, not just fifteen minutes, which was all the time available at the moment. 1 l now think a mistake was undoubtedly made in trying te , cover too much ground in toe /, short a time and yet remain consistent with safe flying. i Please accept our sincere a. pologies if we in any way offended the good citizens o1 Kodiak.

Modern MARRIAGE
Psychologist Lists Defects of Women
Most Objectionable to Their Dates
By DR., Paul Popenoe

"Ouch!"- words to that ef-
feet. That is the reaction Of a
number of young men to the in
dictment of their sex that I pub
lished recently. I quoted Purdue
University girls, who listed the
Objectionable dating practices OF
young men; and the list was not
f1attering. Too many of these
young fellows were crude, vulgar,
self f-centered, overbearing, sloven-
ly. The idea of marrying one OF
them would have been painful.
They're doing us wrong" my
male correspondents protested.
There are two sides to the story"
Sociologist Harold Christensen
didn't overlook the other side.
He listed the following in order of
Importance as the defects of
women dates that are most mark
edly different from the defects of
men!
/. Being artificial in dress and
manners, putting on airs. trying
to be fashion plate.
2. Asking stupid questions or
making trite and silly remarks;
showing shallow interests or ex-
cessive frivolity.

Now that civil defense is upon
us we thing of all forms and
phases of prevention. We must
by necessity think of action, SER
vice and actual care. We must
plan for public health needs OF
each and every county in the
state of Ohio.
The governor of Ohio has noti-
fled the State Director of Health
that each and every health de-
partment within he state shall
play big part in civil defense in
the way of assisting in the plan

also in the way of medical SER
vices, nursing services, prevention
of all public health hazards and
control of environmental santa
ton. 1ass
These thoughts are of vital con-
cern to each and every person
within the United States; conse-
quently, we should insist upon
adequate planning for the future
of our communities and families.
Of necessity this planning should
demand adequate and competent
public health services and or

Who Says All
S+ews Alike?

A heart y, subtly seasoned stew
is right for any November day.
And since stew may be prepared
in SO many different ways the
homemaker need never worry
about its becoming a manotonous
choice.
For instance, there's a wide
selection of meat cuts to use in
a beef stew. SUITS suggested by
Reba Stggs, meat authority, in
clude the beef chuck, shank, heel
Of round, flank, plate, brisket or
short rigs. For lamb or veal stew,
there is the neck, shank, flank,
breast and shoulder. These are
often economical choices which
make stew wise main dish.
Stew vegetables are may vary
greatly. Often overlooked vegeta-
bles include green or lint beans,
peas, brussels sprouts, cauliflower,
corn, cabbage and celery. As for
seasonings to add to the liquid
which completely covers the meat,
there are pepercorsn, whole cloves,
thyme or celery tops.

RADIO EXPERTS HELP KEEP
UNSc0B'S EAR TO GROUND

communications team are all
young men-the Oldest is 30 years
old-of five different nationali-
ties: Belgian, Danish, Norwegian,
American and British. All were
qualified radio men before they
joined U.N.
Now that the fighting is at a
minimum, the number of U.N.
field bases, each with its own
radio unit, has been reduced to
two: One at Alexandroupolis and
the other at Yannina, in the north
west toward Albania. Mobile radio
units, however, are still function
ing and may be sent anywhere in
case of emergency.
A year ago, the twenty-eight-
year-old Dane in Alexandroupolis
was technician in a radio station
in his native Copenhagen. One day
at work he received a notice from
the Government of Denmark
informing him that u. N. was
looking for qualified technicians
in communications and transport
as well as young men who could
be trained to serve as guards at
U.N. Headquarters and with U.N.
missions in the field. Men of all
nationalities were eligible provid-
ed they could qualify. ~
Like his Belgian colleague in
Athens the Danish radio opera
tor on duty in Alexandroupolis
was attracted by the idea of a
career in U.N. service. To him il
meant good pay. an opportunity
to work in foreign countries and
a broader area of experience
Even more, it meant an opportu-
nifty to use his skill and abilities
in an important job in good
cause.-the cause of peace.

BY a Special United Nations
Correspondent

ATHENS - A twenty-eight-
year-old Dane in Alexandroupolis,
In northeastern Greece not far
from the frontiers of Bulgaria and
Turkey, radios a message to the
Athens headquarters of the United
Nations Special Committee on the
Balkans (UNSCOB). in Athens.
a Belgian radio operator, just
turned 81, monitors the message,
in this case, report from UN-
SCOB's observation team on the
northeastern frontier, and re-
lays it to the principal secretary
of the Balkans Committee for ap-
propriate action.
The young Dane in the border
outpost and his Belgian colleague
In Athens are members of the
United Nations Field Service,
which was organized to provide
u. N. missions in the field, such as
UNSCOB, with trained commune
cations and transport experts and
guards for police duty.
In Greece, the Field Service
men make up an IL man team, of
nine radio operators and two me-
chanics, whose job has been TO
set up and maintain a cormuni-
cations system between UNSCOB
headquarters in Athens and Sa-
lonika and the observation teams
in the mountainous frontier areas.
They are an indispensable link in
UNSCOB's chain of watchdog
outposts in the Balkans.
If the u. N observation teams
in the field are, as they have been
called, the "eyes and ears" OF
UNSCOB, the U.N. Field Service
radio men make up the nervous
system, carrying word of what ii
seen and heard In the frontier
areas direct to UNSCOB's brair
center in Athens and then carry
ing back the latter's instructions.
