social services for the community
are practically nil. All of the
Protestant schools are closed even
the mission ones, she reported.
One of the pleasant highlights
of our interview was meeting her
92-year-old mother. Mrs James
H. Gilkey, the widow of a physi-
clan, who makes her home with
her daughter AS we chatted over
delicious homemade grape juice
and viewed the shining jars of
grape jelly, which she and her
daughter had made that very day
it was easy to see how her daugh-
ter comes by her humanitarianism
and her gift of leadership.
Has Job in Church.
Mrs. Calkins attends the Arl-
ington Presbyterian Church and
expects to teach in it's primary
Sunday school department after
her return from her trip to Copen-
hagen. She has two brothers who
are active in church service. One
is a Baptist, the Rev. Charles w
Gilkey, for many years dean of
the chapel at Chicago University
The other is the Rev. James Cor
don Gilkey. pastor of the Congre-
gational Church at Springfield,
Mass. and the author of many
religious pamphlets and books.
The two younger CalkinS daugh-
tiers, Harriet and Gladys. are both
married. Fay, the older, is at
home working on her Phi. D. thesis
for the University of Chicago.
In addition to her years of out
standing service in Y. w. C. A..
local, national and international,
Evening star., 1950-10-01

which she attended at Silver Bay,
N. Y. and the participation in the
discussion groups of the student
board held in Boston were fore
runners of the national and in
ternational leadership which she
has since achieved in YWCA work.
A member of the board of this
clty's Y w. G. A. Mrs. Calkins
called tC my attention to more
than 1896 community and student
Y. w. c, A. groups in this coun-
try with their total of over 3,000,-
600 members. The association is
likewise Represented to 10 other
lands she emphasized. In China,
it is still very active under the
present regime, but under native
leadership, since all of the Ameri-
can leaders have been returned to
this country. Behind the iron
curtain, it is her belief that the
Y. w. c. A. still continues in
Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Estho-
MIA and Latvia.
After the conference of the
executive council of the World
Y. w. c. A. which she attended in
Geneva last spring, Mrs. Calkins
as its vice president spent a week
in Lisbon, Portugal, where she met
many groups of Protestant women
interested in the Y. w. c. A. She
finds it amazing that they have
managed to keep themselves to-
gether. THE people of Portugal
are friendly. it is a pleasant coun-
try, and life is not too difficult
economically for even the poor
est" she reported.
Different Picture i'm Spain.
THE picture is very different in
Spain after one leaves Madrid,
which is probably the most glor-
iouS capital in Europe" she said.
Franco has poured money into
rebuilding it. There are great
modern buildings and impressive
shops, and I saw, magnificent
churches being erected, but often
people are living in novels besides
them or in caves underneath the
emlnenceS upon which they rise.
the contrast between the we'll being
of Madrid and in such cities as
Barcelona, Granada. Toledo and
Sevill in the Andulusian or south
ern part of Spain is a grim and
heart-breaking one"
According to Mrs. Calkins, the
body polite is an oppressed po-
Iced one, with wages fixed by the
government. food strictly rationed,
although the civil war ended 10
years ago, and life on a grim, SUBJ
sistence level among masses of the
people, The things we think of as

speak from wide experience with
groups of women all over the
United States, Canada, Mexico,
China, the Philippines and in
many European countries, with
a background of seven years as
national president of the YWCA.
Although she has just resigned
from this post, she is still a vice
president of the World YWCA, in
which capacity she is to leave soon
for an Executive Committee meet
ing in Copenhagen during the first
two weeks in November.
She is equally convinced that it
is wise for young married women
who are civic-minded to center
their extra-curricular activities in
one field of endeavor in order to
develop self confidence and a sense
of leadership, and to avoid being
swamped with the pull between
home responsibilities and outside
obligations. "It is equally essen
tial, too, that the husbands should
have a sympathetic and co-opera-
tive interest in these avocations
for them to be successful and sat-
isfying," she stressed.
Keeps Her Interest Up.
Mrs. Calkins. the wife of a
civilian engineer now connected
with the War Department. is cer-
tainly a shining example of her
own theories. This Phi Beta Kappa
scholar at Cornell, and student
counsellor and teacher of psy-
chology at Rochester General Hos
pital prior to her marriage, is the
mother of three. Although she has
done practically all of her own
houseWork, she has continuously
kept up the interest in the YWCA,
which began during her college
years. The student conferences

Mrs. Calkins has served as vice
president of the Federation of
Churches and as member of the
board of the Washington Council
of Church Women, whom she
thinks are doing a fine construc-
tive, humanitarian service for this
area.
Il am proud of what church

Spadden had an unsuccessful hunt
last week in the Taku River country
as far as getting any moose is con-
cerned. But they report that they
saw at least four grizzly bears within
Is or 80 feet of their camp at night.
1.-The salmon were really coming
up the creeks when we were there
and we saw large number of
wolves" said Oberg. 1.-THE only moose
seen in the area were seven COWS
and several calves and they were
seen by George Bryson and Jack
Pasquan"
Bryson and Pasquan went up
about 10 days ago and intend stay
ing until the season closes if they
don't get their limit before then,
Oberg said. Three good moose were
brought out by Doug Wahto, Rudy
Pusich, Joe Reedy and son Joe, all

peace in the underworld after the

cemented alliances.
Costello operated the slot-ma-
