JIMMY EDWARDS In BERMUDA
tconttnned ZION Last Weekl

(Continued From Last Week.
After being introduced to all
the wonderful people present, We
virtually crowded into cars -
say crowded because the only
cars allowed on the island can
be compared to the American
Austin. The reason for using
this small type Of automobile is,
that up until few years ago the
only transportation on the is
land was horse and carriage,
therefore, the roads are ex-
tremely narrow. They refuse to
widen the roads because the is
land is only 16 miles long and
three aud one-half across. AS a
result, any expansion of the
roads would take up valuable
land space. Riding along, I
suddenly felt very strange be-
cause we were riding on the left
hand side of the road, and was
sitting on the left hand side
of the driver. Later it was ex-
planned to me that in Bermuda,
as in England, all the steering
wheels of automobiles are on
the right hand side and they
drive on the left hand side of
the street.
The drive into the city of
Hamilton, which is the central
part Of Bermuda, was very beau
tiful, although it was night. We
were at times surrounded by
water, crossing many little -
almost miniature bridges.
We arrived at the impressive
Imperial Hotel which is colored-
owned and operated, to De greet

pleasant stay. was much sur

taken up to my room - which
was big and airy with windows
on two sides which opened out
into a terrace.
After a quick shower, I was
taken down to the beautiful
lounge Of the hotel where there
were assembled a very represent
ative group of the leading cit
izens Of the island. The thing
that impressed me most about
the gathering was the wonderful
way in which they were trying
to please - and make me feel
at home. Much to my surprise,
I found the women Of Bermuda
to be very Shy-much unlike our
American women who are force

full and bold. This / discovered
during my stay to be the most
charming characteristic about
the Bermudian Women who, I
also discovered are very beauti-
full. unlike much which has
been said about me In many
publications, think a woman's
chief assets are her poise, in
telligence and femininity.)
The conversation during the
evening was very sharp and
spicy. Most Of the questions
were directed to me - they
were all anxious to know every
thing about American and the
American people - especially
the colofsd American. They told
me that they read the American
colored newspapers and colored
magazines avidly. Yet, they
have had very little chance to
talk and discuss with colored
Americans because SO per cent OF
the tourist trade in Bermuda is
white. They implied they were
very happy to have mes with
them, not only because of my ac-
complishments, but more than
that, because from me they
hoped to get first-hand informa-
tion as to what is really happen
ing with the colored may behind
the scenes in our country.
About PM. we adjourned to
the dining room where there was
placed before me a heaping
platter of golden crisp fried
chicken - and as far as I was
concerned at that point, con-
versation ceased.
In the middle of my delicious
meal, the vivacious Georgine
Hill, wife of Hilton Hill, informed
me that she had seen me in
Home of the Brave" in New
York and thought it was wonder
full. She went on to say that
she only regretted that all Of
Bermuda could not have a
chance to see this exciting mo-
tion picture. I Immediately in
quired as to whether or not

A NEW IDEA

we should never close the
mind to new ideas, though we
feel averse to them at the time;
It takes time to adjust ones
self to changes; and changes
indicate growth. The man who
never welcomes the new in any
form is mind-bound; he is like
a squirrel in cage, forever go
ing-but nowhere. Then too, it
is through new ideas we pass
from the known to the un-
known: and know this, Every

BEAUTY HINTS

ALL WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL
Any woman in the world can
be pretty If she is alert, eDer-
getic and makes up her mind.
There are so many ways of APP
preaching beauty-a lovely COM
plexion, which is within the
reach of almost everyone -
facial expression, which may
hibhlight any face - the ex-
preston in the eyes, which tells
the story of the heart, whether
it be sympathetic, cold or un-
feeling - the carriage of the
head, whether it be noble or
servile - the glory or lack Of
glory of the hair, which may
crown or uncrown her - in fact,

there are only women who do
not know how to be pretty"

f Youk Lulk Is In, ifs Sill Doubtful If You Will Win

What are your chances of win ming, losing, getting killed in an auto accident. or of giving birth to a left-handed son who is six feet tall?
 Folks with a mathematical mind and plenty of time on their hands figure these things to high degree of accuracy. To settle a thousand arguments which pop up during a year (most of them referred to a harrassed sports editor) we are printing some of the odds on sports events and other subjects:
 Chances that a pitcher will ach- ieve no-hit game are l in 2.577.
 When you stack up against a one-armed bandit, the odds are 5000 to against hitting the jack pot in the slot machine.
 An auto racer faces odds of g. TOO to l that he will be killed on the track.
 The gamblers quote you odds of 100 to l that you can't pick 10 winners out of 10 football games but the actual chances against the feat are 1923 to l.
 Baseball fans who pull for the home team have to chance of going home happy; the home team wins five out of every nine games
 When you are driving at the speed of 42 miles an hour, the chances are to l greater that you will be involved in an accident than if you were travelling at 25.
 In writing a book. chances are that you will use the letter "e' (the most frequently utilized let ter) 120 times while using the "z' twice.
 If you want your unborn son tc be a left-handed baseball pitcher chances are 12 to l you will be dis appointed, that being the ratio o1 right-handers to southpaws.
 Chances are l3 to l against youi boy being a 6-footer so that he car make the basketball team.

AP Poll Shows Football Stars Not So Dumb

NEW YORK, Dec. 21-'R-An Associated Press survey of All-Am- erica football players and leading teams showed today many gridiror stars are better than average stu dents-contrary to the general idea
 Notable among the headliners who also shine in the classroom are DICK Kazmaier of Princeton, Hank Lau- ricella of Tennessee, Bill McColl oi Stanford, Jim Weatherall of Okla homa, Joe Palumbo of Virsinia, De- wey Mcconnell of Wyoming, and Bob Ward of Maryland-all first team All-America.
 The fact is that the modern collegiate game has become so fast that the slow, dumb type of athlete can't make the grade.
 Tennessee's team, top ranked na- tionally, averaged 2.52 against a perfect academic score of 400, which would be all A. The university av- craze for all male students was 2.1O. Lauricella averaged 2.6 and made the honor roll in two out of three quarters. Fullback Andy Ko- gar made 2.8.
 Bill McColl, Stanford's towering end, has a B-plus average and IS a pre-medical student.
 Dick Kazmaier, the Princeton glamor back of the year, is a major psychology with 3-plus average which is just below Phi Beta Kappa rating.
 Weatherall, the Oklahoma two- time All-America tackle, majors in business administration and has a B average.

The Alaska Legislature, early in it's most recent session, mem orialized the President and the Department of State concerning the protection of Alaska's fisher ies from encroachment by foreign nationals.
 Specifically, the memorials prayed that the Department of State take immediate steps to se- cure an effective agreement with Japan that will assure the United States that no Japanese fishing vessels will be permitted to en- gage in the fisheries of the Pacific Coast of North America and that no peace treaty be concluded With Japan that does not contain such a provision"
 Those memorials seems to have been worth less than the paper tssay were mimeographed on. At any rate, the peace treaty with Japan was signed at San Francis co in September and it did not contain a provision to protect the Alaska coastal fisheries. The State Department is now in the process of negotiating a fisheries treaty with Japan and, as has happened all too frequently in recent negotiations with foreign governments, we do not appear to be getting the best of the bargain. The Japanese have demanded, for one thing, that they be all lowed to fish in "the Aleutian Sea-" The exact location and boundaries of this sea" have not been reported, but it begins to sound very much as though Jap anese fishing vessels may again be operating in Boring Sea one of these days, as they did before World War II.
 The fisheries of Japan have al- ready damaged American, and AL askan, fishermen to an extent that is difficult to assay precisely. The damage has been done by imports of Japanese caught fish, particularly tuna.
 Imports of foreign fishery pro- ducts to the United States have in- creased to a startling extent in the past few years. For example, foreign fish made up about eight percent of the total fish sold on the United tSates market in 1948.
 In 1949, foreign fish had climbed to 13 percent of total sales in the United States and in 1850 it was up to 29 percent, according to Dr. Wilbert Chapman, research dir ector of the American Tunaboat Association.
 It is only occasionally, of course, that tuna are caught in quantities in or even near Alaskan waters. But many Alaska fishing vessels and fishermen have journeyed to Washington, Oregon and Califor- mia waters to engage in tuna fishing.
 ThiJ season there were very heavy imports of Japanese tuna and the price offered the Ameri- can fishermen for their domestic catches were so low that many of them tied up their boats.
 In addition to the direct effect On the tuna price, all fishery pro- ducts sold in this country, whether they are produced here or shipped in from abroad. are in competi- tion with Alaska's fishery pro- ducts.
 Imports of substantial quanti- ties of low-priced foreign fish is bound, in the long run, to depress the market for Alaska's salmon and halibut.
 Some 300 fishermen met in Se- attle not long ago to discuss the
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-12-21

tuna situation and to see whether they can do something about It.. What they are aiming at is 45 percent tariff on all tuna imports to the United States.
 One of the main speakers at the Seattle meeting was Fred Vol leson, who for many years trolled fer salmon in Southeast Alaska, where he was widely known as "Tne Yakima Kid"
 Last summer, during the meet ing for the signing of the Japan csc peace treaty, Wolleson organ- ized a sizeehle demonstration off he Golden Gate by vessels of the tunt fleet. The demonstration was to call attention to the need Tor protecting American fishermen, but like the memorials of the AL aska Legislature, it went unheed- ed.
 Several western Senators and Representative have promised to take up the cause for the fisher men and to put over tariff. It can be assumed that this program will have little support from our State Department, which in late years has been consistent in cut ting, rather than increasing, the tariffs on foreign imports.
