to the cuff, and, as in making a
knee patch, use the discarded mate
rial for pattern. Cut along the
thread, making the patch one inch
bigger all around than was the piece
removed.
Since the seam is to be top sewed
to the patch, the corners are not
slashed diagonally as with a patch
having all right angles. The slit is
made to follow close along the seam,
half inch from the trimmed edge.
Seam along the top, then down to-
ward the cuff. Gather in fullness
between placket and underarm seam,
pin the placket in position and top
sew the cuff, placket, and underarm
seam, completing the patch. Cut
away excess material under the
placket.
Knitted Underwear
For knitted cotton underwear, do
not slash corners. Use a knit mate
rial for the patch, and stretch both
patch and garment edge equally
while sewing. This prevents breaks
in the thread when the repaired
garment is being worn and is there
fore necessary though it does give
the garment baggy appearance.
Of course this method may be
employed on jagged skirt tears, the
seats of trousers, or worn underarms,
though the latter, I have always
thought, seldom come until the
whole garment is far spent and
ready to be discarded or treated to
a quick shortcut I've found effective
for SO many things that do not
justify the expenditure of much time
or energy.
Quick Shortcut
Simply pin or baste piece of thin
cloth under the hole and sew back

and have heard read aloud some of
the fine books have vocabulary
way beyond the child who hasn't had
that advantage"
Reading aloud helps to alleviate
periods of enforced leisure that come
with illness or accident Measles,
mumps, broken arms or legs are al
most forgotten in the excitement of
following the adventures of Ulysses,
Ivanhoe, the Three Musketeers and
Tom Sawyer, Treasure Island, Rob-
inson Crusoe, Little Women, Sara
Crew and Rebecca of Sunnybrook
Farm have thought laughter and
tears to many young patient.
Reading aloud to the grownups
may be equally enjoyable and COM
pensating. AS a guest in a ranch
home in Alberta over the weekend,
I once heard the father of the fam
lily read from book of sermons Sun
day evening because it had not been
possible to go the long distance to
church that day. His clear, melodious
voice invoked reverent attention to
the words and the sentences of what
happens ssWhen a Man Prays," for
that was the title of the sermon.
Parents and children share pleas
ure in reading together because
there's great joy in the sound of
wonderful words if read aloud with
understanding and enthusiasm

Resurrection

Within my garden, Winter lingering,
There seemed no life nor any sign
of Spring;
No bud, no nesting bird, no butterfly,
Only gray brittle ghosts, gray
clouds, gray sky.
I turned to go, faithless and sorrow
full,
And found beneath my feet a
niraclel
A little bursting seed, alive, alone,
Had rolled away-had rolled away
a stone.

Ridgway vs. Rhee

Gen. Matthew Ridgway sent an important cable to the Defense De- partment this week regarding his problems with President Syngman Rhee and Korean troops.
 President Rhee has insisted that Korean troops be organized as in- dependent units and fight com pletely on their own. General Rldg- way, on the other hand, has found that Korean troops fight well when closely integrated with U., s. troops hut break and run when organized as independent units. Each time the Chinese have struck recently, they have aimed their chief blows a, the South Koreans.
 Therefore, General Ridgway ask ed the Defense Department 10 help him straighten out this problem with elderly, crusty President Rhee, who argues that if Korea is to de-

 However, another meeting of the Postal Union was scheduled TOT May 21 at St. Gallen, Switzerland, and Bedding immediately got busy. He notified the anti ti-Communlst friends of the U. $.

 "The position to which MT. Wheeler was appointed is of such importance to the government of the United States. that great care must be exercised. MT. Wheeler has been rated ineligible" /"
 However, David A. Morse, then a Lieutenant Colonel and Wheeler's immediate superior, wrote long letter. Oct. l, l945, stating, among other things:
 T am taking this opportunity now that I am back in the states, to submit this letter in MT. Wheel CTS behalf with my estimate of his high integrity and unquestioned loyalty to America"
 Later, Oct. 29, 1945, Morse ap- peared before the Civil Service Commission and testified that If Wheeler had been dismissed pur- suant to the Civil Service letter of Jan. ? the constructive side of the U. S. Postwar effort in Ger pany would have been adversely affected"
 So Wheeler was reinstated and served with the American military government in Germany from Dec. 50, l945 to Dec. 29, 1947. Three years later, on April ', 1850, he asked for asylum of the the Czech government and has since been reported by the Czech press as making speeches in praise of that Communist Paradise" and attack Ing the "warmongering" of his na- i've country, the United States of America.

THE GOVERNORS TRIP

From Ketchikan to Anchorage and Fairbanks we now know the story of Governor Warrens chaperoned trip to Alaska.
 We know in Juneau how Gov. Warren arrived here distinguished speaker en route to the Uni versity of Alaska to deliver the Commencement Day address.
 We were moved to compliment President Ferris Moore and the regents of the University for having prevailed upon nationally known figure as Gov Warren to deliver the address of the occasion taking time from important duties in his state of California But, we might have known there was a catch
 What intrigued end along with the catch was this
 Meeting Gov. Warren at the airport upon his arrival in Juneau conspicuousy absent the lead CTS of the Republican party His party. First man in the line of greeting of course, it should be, one Governor to another was Alaska's Ernest Gruening. Shortly after arrival at the airport, Warren was flown away for fishing trip to Taku Lodge, chap eroned by Gov Gruening He returned the next day for short stop for luncheon at the Governors House where group of invited guests had chance to zee the famous visitorbut few had chance to talk with him. He then left by plane for Anchorage and Far banks, of course, accompanied by Gov Gruenng.
 With the presidential election the principal order of political business for 1852 Gov Warren naturally enough is mentioned the elite of the Republican party-Senator Taft Gen. Douglas Macarthur, Gov Dewey Harold Stassen and others of the Republican high command as possible Republican presidential candidate.
 In fact in the editorial from the Anchorage News which follows that Gov. Gruening speaking in Fairbanks suggests that there should be some higher office" for Gov. Warren.
 Back in 1916 according to Who's Who, Gov. Gruenng listed himself as Republican.
 Could it be that now, with the tempest beating about the head of the Democratic party, our Gov ernor like Beshazzar, visions handwriting on the wall?
 Does he imagine a Democratic defeat in 1852? Is he even now seeking to find under the tent of the Republican party which he has denounced since President Roosevelt started him the way to political importance in the Democratic party?
 Apparently, the Anchorage News had something of the sort in mind. The trip to Anchorage and the Commencement in Fairbanks caused the Anchorage paper to ask if Governor Gruenng is

Worked With KPD

The Civil Service Commission first acted to fire Wheeler when he was chief of the Disqualification control branch of the control coun- cil in Germany after receiving re- ports that Wheeler was a courier for the KPD the German Commun- ist party. This belief arose from the fact that after Wheeler had visited certain cities, the local branch of the KPD would imme- itely begin agitating along the la test Communist lines.
 As a result, William H. Hull of the Civil Service Commission wrote on Jan. 2, 1945: MT. Wheeler has followed the Communist line in its changes from before 1899 to date Evidence relating directly to this matter is supported by other eu- dence that shows MT. Wheeler

Asks Congress for
 $5,76S,ooo,ooOfo for Military Construction

F WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, lR- The chairman of the House Arm ed Services committee today told the House a $5,768, 100000 military construction bill is necessary be- cause Russia has the atomic bomb and planes that can drop it on the United States.
 Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) des- cribed the huge authorization mea- sure as the largest single mili- tary construction bill ever sub mitted to the Congress in peace or war"
 He said there is more to come, as the bill is tailored to require ments of a, 5000, ,000-man armed force and a 95-wing air force. Vinson himself this week urged expansion to 163-wing air arm and two additional giant aircraft carriers.
 During World War Two there was no threat of hostile bombing to this nation," said Vinson.
 To-day we face vastly differ ent situation. Russia has the at om bomb and the capability to drop it within continental United States.
 He said much has been done in building up a radar warning screen and establishing fighter in- .tereeptor bases. but more needs to be done to build up bases for the huge intercontinental bombers of the strategic air command.
 The major portion of proposed construction is allotted the Air Force and will be used to streng- then its ground installations and bases in the United States, in the territories and overseas. Among the latter are bases to cut the striking distance on Russia.
