Letters to The Star

until pressure is brought. can cite
some true examples of this.
One lady threatened to report post
man know because he would not bring
mail up some Steep icy steps to her
porch. The postman was not to be
blamed, but she most certainly was for
not getting the ice off the steps or hav-
ing it done.
It has been said that the owner Of
building or home is legally respon-
sible for injuries sustained by any one
as result of fall on an icy walk or
steps, I do not know If this is true, nor
to what extent, but do know that it
is shamefully and disgracefully wrong
to leave walks loaded with ice. If the
owner or tenant is physically or finan-
cially unable to clear the walk, there
should be some source to which he or
she can turn for aid.
AS write this letter. many days after
our last snowfall, there is still ice on
some walks. Why? 1t is either gross
carelessness and J, indifference, to a
criminal degree, or the responsible per-
sons are totally unable to clear the
walks.
Our greatest trouble in the world Of
today is lack of consideration for others,
and this is but one example. What can
be done about this?
Gene Allen Thomas.
Editors Note: The D. c. Code
says it is the duty" of owners, ten
ants, occupants, lessees, ETC., to clear
their sidewalks within the first eight
hours of daylight after snowfall,
but the code cautions that this
should not be taken to mean that
one who neglects his duty is liable
to respond to damage suitS)

Kimche His Dish

Kimche His Dish
Hal Boyle, the distinguished Associ-
ated Press war correspondent, is COM
pletely out of his element in trying to
treat lightly the liking our gallant Gen.
William F. Dean-now prisoner
Of the Chinese Reds-haS developed for
Korean kimche.
This Is no subject for levity. Kimche
Is only one gift the Koreans have given
mankind. I have known, eaten and
proflted physically through its consump-
ton for more than 80 years.
Some may declare it an acquired
taste, but as simple American peasant,
happened to like it instantly. Kimche,
as have revealed in it both here and
IN Korea, is mystical combination of
garlic. cabbage, carrots, turnips, onions,
celery, parsnips and perhaps some other
ingredients unknown to me- But it
makes hair grow on bald heads and old
men jump in the air, click their heels
and give the equivalent of the wolf cry
at the turn Of the century. It is sur
charged with vitamins, bold, daring,
galvanic vitamins!
MT. Boyle speaks OF It's OdOr. The
sweetest sound and scent on the Korean
countryside in peacetime is the terrific
explosion Of the lid of large clay jar
of kimche and the automatic release of
the vaporS therein. Mothers and fathers
run out with cries of joy and little chill
dren join them, for everyone, within
miles around, knows the process of fer
mentation is complete and the kimche
now is ready to be devoured. 1t is a sin
gular thing that the Koreans should
know for many centuries that kimche
gives them the necessary vitamins when
fresh fruit and vegetables are unob-
tainable.
Another quaint custom of that far
away country, for perhaps the last
thousand or two years, is to apply mil
dewed bread to an open wound, and
somehow or other the patients always
recover. Do hear any one mention
penicillin?
Strange people, these Koreans! Why,
under the inspiring leadership of their
great President, Dr. Syngman Rhee, they
are even willing to die rather than to
submit to communism

The Star of December 26 says that
Senator Charles w. Tobey of New
Hampshire suggests the penalty Of
f1ogging for gross misconduct in Federal
Office. He has the right idea and should
be encouraged. Also he should be COM
mended for his recent article in the
January issue of prominent magazine,
pointing out the danger to our Nation
of domestic corruption.

Storm 8 Memory Lingers On

George Frederick Miller's letter in
The Star December % calls attention to
the fact that more than 200 persons
were seriously injured by falls on icy
streets recently, and gives rather de-
tailed instructions on how to walk on
ice.
I think my suggestion is much more
practical-a dimes worth of common
table salt, applied by each householder
in front of his home land necessary
amounts Of loose rock salt or other
chemical applied by janitors of apart
ment buildings, stores, office buildings,
etc.. This would very quickly melt all
the ice, and there would be no necessity
for any one to fall on slippery streets, or
to learn to walk on ice, as suggested by
Mr.. Miller. OF course, it would be al
most Utopia to get people to cooperate
to that extent. but the cost and effort
involved would certainly be negligible.
In fact, isn't there law requiring
householders to remove ice and snow in
order to eliminate safety hazard?
Bernard r. DeRemer.
Much is being said at this late date
about the foul-ups which occur here
after a snowfall.
But I see nothing at all about very
bad aspect of the whole thing-the
criminal negligence of many home and
apartment owners and residents in re-
gard to clearing sidewalks.
During a snowfall it does no good to
clear a walk. but many persons are in
jured, some seriously, each year because
of the gross indifference of those who
are responsible for clearing walk after
it has stopped showing. When the snow
is left, it most often freezes, leaving
very treacherous and dangerous pas
sageway for any one The glazed, slip
perry walk" as too many of us have
found, is highly dangerous. So, too, are
the frozen streets, which are not sanded

.Frick and Track Lead Comics
In Ice FolIies Opening Tonight

The Ice Follies, opening a one
week stand at $50 o'clock tonight
in Uline Arena, believes in short
and snappy numbers, but some
customers will feel the show is
OVERRIDING that policy when they
get only three minutes of Frick
and Frack.
Presenting some of the funniest
acts ever put on ice. the two
comedians, whose names are
Werner Groebli and Hans Rudolf
Mauch. have been featured per-
formers with the Follies since
1889. If possible. their act gets
better from year to year.
This year the comedy duo will
present number entitled I'm the
Big City" in their usual spot, just
before the finale. It lasts just
three minutes with encores, and
leaves the customers applauding
for more. However. that's just the
way the two comedians want to
exit. They feel their long popu-
larity is due in part to their policy
of never OVERRIDING the act.
Groebli (Frick) and Mauch
Crack were born in Basel,
Switzerland, and were neighbors
in the early 1920s. They got to-
gether a comedy act which became
IA hit IN Europe and were called
by the FollieS in 1889. Veterans

Two Defensive Men
On CIV Injury List

George Washington's football
team will be in fairly good physi-
cal shape for it's final game of
the season Saturday at Richmond,
but the Colonials have pair of
injuries where it hurts most.
On the doubtful list are Steve
Korcheck, an any-position player
who generally is with the de-
fensive unit as linebacker or half
back but who also is center on the
kicking team. and Lou Donofrio,
defensive halfback.
AS Richmond primarily is a
passing team. with Bobby Tyler
as the principal aerial artist, the
Colonials will need to be strong
est in their defensive backfield.
Donofrio, freshman, has been a
late-season star on pass defense.
Two weeks ago he intercepted two
passes. One ended a serious Buck
nell drive and the other set up a
CIV touchdown.
The Colonials held their usual
light Monday workout yesterday
IN the fog at their Frog Island
practice field, while a fullsscale
scrimmage is listed for today.

Baugh Coming Back
To Help Run Redskins
Against Giants
By Lewis F. Atchison

The Redskins long quest for a
quarterback to succeed Sammy
Baugh took a new twist today
when club officers announced the
old Singer himself would be taken
out of mothballS and reactivated
for duty against the New York
Giants Sunday at Griffith Sta
dium.
Baugh may start the game in
stead of Eddie LaBaron, making
him first man on record to sue
ceed himself Actually. they'll
divide the work, for with the ex-
ception of one real bad call, Le-
Baron's strategy against the
Forty Miners last Sunday was
good.
The little fellow has proved his
ability to handle a pro team. but
also has shown a weakness for
miscuing in a pinch.
Sykes Is Dropped.
Meanwhile. the Redskins have
released Bob Sykes, who with
Andy Davis, was blamed for de-
fensive errors that allowed the
Forty Miners to score two quick
touchdowns and snatch away q
victory that seemed in the bag
for the Redskins.
It was the second time this sea
son the Washington eleven gave
up Sykes. who was dropped after
the opening game with the Cardi-
nails and recalled five games later.
Davis apparently has fallen
from grace with Lambeau and
there is a strong possibility he
will be traded at the end of the
season. General Manager Dick
McCann pointed out that even
though LeBaron pulled a skull in
calling for a pass, which was
intercepted, on third down with
2 yards to go for a first down,
it was defensive lapse that lost
the game.
Redskins Now Short Handed.
League rules prevent the Red
skins from making a trade with
any club to replace Sykes. but
they are scanning waiver lists in
an effort to find a replacement.
The club may try to finish the
season with 80 players, or with
81 if Ed Berrang's injured knee
doesn't respond to treatment. The
defensive end suffered torn liga-
ments in Sundays game and his
knee was to be placed in cast
for a week, at least, to speed
recovery.
Baugh was in uniform and able
to play Sunday. but LeBaron had
gone so well until the intercepted
pass Lambeau saw no need for
replacing him. The Singers
hand was injured when he struck
an opponents helmet at Pitts
burgh October 19 and he hasn't
played since.

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 18.-
Heavyweight Rex Layne, wild
swinging and overweight at 203,
kayoed AL Spaulding, Oakland,
Calf, last night in 2:03 of the
fifth round of a scheduled 10

Layne, now second ranking

long rights and lefts.
The Oakland Negro, although
fiabby and slow at 207. slipped of
the ropes and eluded Layne. But
the Utah slugger caught him in
the middle of the ring with q
right to the head and looping
