ON THE UNIFICATION OF KOREA

Recently thousands Of citizens in Seoul, South
Korea gathered in front of the capitol building in
ceremony celebrating their 34th anniversary Of indie
pendence Part of the sentiment exhibited in this dem
onstration was in favor Of drive into North Korea
South Korean officials and the demonstrators have
long demanded drive to the Yau River as means of
unifyng their country again. The country was
split after World War II when the 18th Parallel
decided upon the dividing line between Soviet and
US. occupation. Although this not completely
satisfactory to the South Koreans had to be accepted
since they had been defeated power and occupied by
the Japanese for many years.
When the North Koreans crossed the 18th Parallel
and attacked South Korea in June 1850 they became
the first to abrogate the 18th Parallel agreement and
the South Koreans feel there is little point in their
stopping at the 18th Parallel.
However, many members of the United Nations
feel that the only purpose Of the u N forces in Korea
to defend the freedom of South Korea and drive the
invading armies out. Some UN members will not sup
port any effort to capture North Korea, thus unfyng
the country again.

A six year experiment in the east Texas city Of
Marshall was recently cited as proof that fouride in
drinking water reduce dental cavities considerably
The test which was hailed as one of the most care
the cooperation Of the American Medical Association
and the American Dental Association.
DR.. Edward Taylor, chief Of the Texas Health De-
partments dental division, in announcing results of
the test recently said that Marshall children have had
81 percent fewer cavities than those of the age
group in another town included in the test, where
flouride was not provided In fact, the cavity rate
among Marshall children is reported to be declining
steadily while cavities among children in the other
town, where flouride is not being used increasing
This latest test, which covered period of six years
should settle the arguments for and against the chemi-
cal and for ALL Every town and community in the
country which has the money should look into the pos
sblity of adding flouride to the drinking water supply

NEW AMBASSADOR TO RUSSIA

Charles E. Bohlen who is expected to leave soon
as the Us. ambassador to Russia, is we'll qualified by
experience and training to handle the Moscow post
efficiently. Though the loss of we'll versed
in Soviet affairs George F. KEENAN, is to be regret
ted, President Eisenhower has picked the who
probably knows as much about Russia as did KEENAN,.
It is generally agreed that KEENAN, and Bohlen are
among the best qualified Americans available to handle
the Moscow post
It will be recalled that the Russians kicked out
Mr. KEENAN, on the grounds that he uttered insulting
words about Russia while visiting Berlin It widely
believed that Remnants ability to accurately con-
ditionS in Moscow and Russia made him thorn in
Russas diplomatic side If this appraisal was accurate
the Russians will face the problem in dealing
with Mr.. Bohlen.

ALASKA IN ADOLESCENCE
from The versatovian." Sitka)

Alaska is an adolescent boy, passing through per-
iod of Sturm ud Drang, period of storm and strife
Notice this young fellow. One day he is small
child - short and chubby. All Of sudden he shoots
up like bean pole He outgrows his Clothes but
tnues to wear them His shirt does anything but fit
him. The bottoms of his trousers come up above his
ankles. His movements clumsy and inefficient He
is accused of being all thumbs, and of being stumble
heel.
Because he suddenly finds himself quite taller than
he was just short time before, he thinks he is all
grown up now. But his parent the federal government
doesn't think So and continues to treat him little
schoolboy, which the young man resents.
For the first time he becomes aware of his social
environment and earnestly endeavors to fit into these
surroundings by trying to join and become Of the
States But these older and grown up relatives
think he is still not man enough to handle his own
problems. They think he has grown too big for his
breeches and therefore they have not accepted him
Adolescence is period Of adjustment and Alaska
is in just that period-the period between childhood
and maturity The federal government thinks it is help
ing this young boy grow up Alaska thinks he is being
bossed and pushed around.

Treasury Dept. Opposed
Increased Price For Gold

4AASA OCACN1 Il NJ IL Tx SOAa
The new administrations Urea
sury Department is opposed to
any legislation which would in
crease the price of gold or other
plans which would bring about a
market price increase, according
to information given Delegate
Bartlett recently.
In February of this year, Dele
gate Bartlett urged that the new
administration take a realistic
position" to assist gold miners.
"T don't have to tell YOU"
Delegate Bartlett stated in let
ter to Secretary of the Treasury
Humphrey, ''that the gold miner
has been uniquely, I believe, dis
eliminated against in our econ
omy. He is the only producer so
far as | am aware, the selling
price Of whose product has re-
manned constant and fixed by the
government itself and who has
been exposed to all the initiation
airy pressures which have caused
production costs to rise. This is
written to express the hope that
the present administration will
take realistic position in respect
to- this matter, which is of con-
Stunning interest to an industry
important not only in Alaska but
in several western states. I should
very much like to know what the
Treasury Departments position
will be with respect to the move
ment so long under way to have
the United States government in
crease the price of gold, either
directly or under some system as
that used by the Canadian gov
eminent.
In declaring the adverse posi-
ton, the Treasury Department re
piled, "The Treasury remains op-
posed to any such legislation
which would change the price of
gold, primarily because of the
inflationary effect such a program
would have upon the domestic
economy Of the United States"
In conclusion, it was stated,
Careful study has been given by
the Treasury Department to both
the Canadian subsidy and free
market program for marketing
newly-mined gold. Although the
Department is sympathetic to the
problems Of the gold miners, it
does not favor the adoption of
either plan by the United States"
Delegate Bartlett in January
introduced legislation which
would allow gold to seek its own
price level in the world market.

We are living in our memories
Of our folks back home and our gals.
We hope that when we return
They're not married to our pals.
All day it keeps on raining
It's as much as we can stand
But folks, we aren't complaining,
For we're the defenders Of our land
We left the good times behind us.
Some of our best years We'll miss.
1t sure is tough when you're drafted,
But it's hell of lot worse to enlist
When they have the last formation
In the big drill field upstairs,
We will fall in at attention
And march by the stand in pairs
Then Saint Peter will see US,
And then we will hear him yell
Come in, you guys from Korea.
You have served your time in hell. %

GI.'s Home Thoughts from Abroad
BY A CT. IN KOREA

Up in the hills Of Korea
Bloody Ridge is the spot,
Battling the terrific weather
In the land that God forgot,
Out in the heat with a rifle,
Or down in the ditch with pick,
Doing the work Of a convict,
But too damn tired to kick.
Here with the lizards and spiders,
Where the CT. is always blue,
Right in the middle of nowhere
Twelve thousand miles from you.
We are soldiers in the Army,
Earning measly pay,
Guarding you folks by the millions
For a meaSly two-sixty a day.

Welsh Rorebit

Every male amateur cook
thinks he can make a better
Welsh rarepit than the other
fellow. A Welsh larebit is. ap-
parently. the height Of culinary
achievement. It's difficult to
say just why this idea persists.
For, actually, a rarebit Is the
easiest thing in the world to
make-if you remember to cook
it slowly.
In the top of o double boiler
or in a chatting dish, if you are
that sure of yourself - melt a
teaspoon of butter. Add 2 cups
sharp cheddar cheese. cut in
small pieces, a teaspoon of dry
mustard, a teaspoon of paprika
and u teaspoon of salt.
Let the cheese melt slowly and
when completely melted. add "a
cup of good ale. Stir rapidly
and constantly until as smooth
as cream. Pour over hot but
tered toast. and serve at once.
