Alaska Airlines has been grant ed the 1852 Aviation Safety Award. The airline is named one of several winners in the report of the advisory committee of the National Safety Councils 17th an- nual survey.
 Announcement of the award was made by Ned H. Dearborn, Safety Council president, to Nel- son David, head of Alaska Air lines, Inc. Recognition is given to domestic, territorial and over seas air carriers and awards made only for operation of the entire year 1852 without a passenger or crew fatality in scheduled flights.

RESERVE UNITS
Open LOCAL
RECRUITING drive
The Fronfiersman

Vacancies in local Army Re-
serve units now exist for men in
the Palmer area, according to 1t
Col. John J. LAWN, senior army
instructor for Alaskan Reserve
units.
In announcing the start of a
new recruiting drive, 1t. Col.
LAWN pointed out some of the
advantages of Reserve service,
especially to young men of Is.
Almost every young American to-
day must consider a two-year
tour of active military service as
part of his obligation to his
country. All male citizens and
residents of the States (includ-
ing Alaska) born on Or after
August 80, 1922 who are not reg
istered with their local draft
boards are required to do so. Be-
tween the ages of 1917 and 26
they are subject to call for active
military service through the draft
board. Upon completing his tour
of active service, a man is not dis
charged, but is transferred to
Reserve component When his
combined active and reserve SER
vice total eight years he has COM
.pleted his service obligation and
is discharged.
Many young men are not
aware of the advantages of en-
listing in the Reserve as soon as
they are of draft age, LAWN
said. For example, a man 18 years
old who enlists in the Reserve
Immediately starts on his eight
year obligation. While in the
Army Reserve he can join unit
composed of other citizen soldiers
who meet to train for two hours
zone night each week. For at
tendance at this training meet
ing he receives one days pay
and one point credit toward his
reserve retirement He is issued
Army uniforms to wear to the
meetings. After four months of
training he is eligible for his first
promotion. If he is with the unit
Tor one or two years he will also
attend Is days field training at a
regular army camp and if found |
qualified may be promoted to
higher ranks. If not drafted he
may apply for two years active
duty in the rank he holds in the
Army Reserve. Thus o young
man who enlists ON his 18th |
birthday completes his 8-year OBJ
legation before the age of 27.
1t. Col. LAWN said many young
men do not realize the advant- |
The frontiersman., 1953-07-23

ages of early enlistment in the
Reserve. AS a result they wait
until they receive their induction
notice, by which time some indi-
viduals have reached the age of
25, and have acquired family and
business responsibilities. They
then find that their obligation ex-
tends until they reach the age of
33.
Men who wish to investigate
the training, pay, promotion and
retirement plans of the Army
Reserve may visit the Reserve
Armory on the Spodgrass prop
erty Wednesday evening between
8 pm. and 10 pm. or contact C.

Muffin was just a kitten
when we started the trip"
Miss Carson relates. But as
he grew, he became interested
in the specimens l brought in
each day from the beach. So
many of my collecting trips
had to be made during low
tide hours that I had plenty
of time around hotel rooms to,
organize my material. Nearly
always, Muffin was around
and / do believe he could be
called an authority on marine
life"
Miss Carson says her own
interest in nature goes back
to childhood, when her
mother called her attention
to the beauties of field and
stream near their home In
Springdale, Pa.
ITO this day, am very in

"Ornithology is my hobby
when I can find time for 1t.
In my new book, I am urging

be kind to birds and not dis

The author, who is soft

humor, says she has been a
disappointment in some re-
spects to her friends, who ex-
pect her to be completely
nautical.

DACHEL CARSON, author
IL of 1.-The Sea Around U.s."
acquired most of her marine
knowledge while living in
Washington.
Although the slim, blue
eyed author has often visited
the beach and worked in sea-
side laboratories, her inten-
sive studies of the ocean were
made during the years when
she was a biologist here and
later editor chief of the
United States Fish and Wild
life Service.
Miss Carson worked in the
Department of the Interior
from 1886 until she resigned
last year to devote more time
to her books. On her job, she
followed the increasing inter-
est in marine investigation
that reached its highest peak
during World War II.
During the war years, many
phases of oceanic life were
investigated in great detail.
For example, the Navy, in
cooperation with private
agencies, made recordings of
underwater sounds to distin-
guish between marine animals
and submarines. Detailed
studies of waves in many
parts of the world were made
in the planning of overseas
invaSions.
Miss Carson had always
been interested in the ocean
despite the fact she has to
fight Sunburn on the beach.
AS she learned more from
these studies, she caught the
vision of presenting her own
story of the sea in language
that laymen could easily
grasp.
The result was THE Sea
Around U.s." published first
in July, 1851. Reaching best

Rhee Imperils Impending Truce
 By Freeing Anti Red Prisoners

TOKYO, R - Defiant South Korea freed 25,O0O anti-Red Kor- can prisoners Thursday on orders of President Syngman Rhee with out regard for the peril it placed on an impending truce.
 Early Friday 1,5OO more anti Red Koreans tried to make mass escape from yet another prison camp near Seoul's port city of Inchon and clashed with US. sol diers and Marines. First unofficial reports said 100 prisoners were killed. A report from Seoul said 400 escaped.
 Rhee immediately accepted re- sponsibility for the surprise move first official act in open revolt against United Nations efforts to reach cease-fire terms with the Communists.
 Rhee said in statement he did it ''Without full consultation with the United Nations Command"
 we pulled the rug out from under their feet" a South Korean government spokesman boasted.
 President Eisenhower quickly conferred at the White House in Washington with Congressmen over the critical development. One conferee, Sen. Styles Bridges said afterward Tt is a serious thing"
 Chinese and North Korean Reds had keyed the truce talks at Pan munjom to the issue of handling anti-Red prisoners.
 What might happen now to the almost-accomplished truce was, for the moment, anybody's guess.
