how they might best be devel-
cped. Until girl knows that,
she cannot make a decision as
to what practical step to take.
Second. I think people take a
lot for granted when they as
sumo that every young woman in
the world is going to be full
time housekeeper the rest of her
life. The merchandising genius
of America has already made
such advances in appliances,
prepared foods, diaper services
and the like that we cannot tell
what the future will hold. Many
of the young women may work
part, or all of their lives, married
or no, and a home-ec course for
the girl whose interests may be
entirely in French literature or
botany, say, is a great mistake.
Moreover, this man admitted
that he was happily married to a
quite remarkable woman. I told
him that if his wife had never
studied widely in the general cul-
tural studies, if she had limited
herself entirely to recipes and
slip covers, she might have bored
him so much that his marriage
would have been miserable.
If marriage is to be a compan-
ionship, the woman should know
something more than pots and
pans, just as the man should
know something more than how
to repair the vacuum cleaner.
My advice to this gentleman was
to take the recommendation of
his daughters high school ad-
wiser, and let his girls have the
studies which their tests and
their talents indicate.

Sen. Frear Warns of New Diplo-
matte Problems If Korea is Divided
United States Senator j. Allen
Frear this week warned that a
truce in Korea will bring fresh po-
litical and diplomatic problems to
the United States.
In the second of two statements
dealing with the current situation
in Korea, Mr.. Frear expressed the
opinion that any peace settlement
based on continued division of
that country will, in all probability,
be unsatisfactory to the South
Korean Government. He indicated
that such an agreement would
probably permit Chinese and North
Korean troops to remain intact in
their section of the country, and
thus, in effect, recognize the right
of aggression by the communists.
The Senator also pointed out
that under no circumstances can
the United States afford to relax
its defenses, nor permit reduc-
tion of our Armed Forces in the
event of a Korean truce.
Added Senator Frear, "The long
and arduous months which have
followed the outbreak of the Ko-
rean conflict have seen the United
States vastly increase its ability to

Eric Jackson
 Back From Korea With Battle HOnOrs

HEADQUARTERS, US. ARMY, Alaska-Private First Class Eric M. Jackson, son of Mrs. Hilda Jackson, Golovin least of Nome on the Seward Peninsula, is back in Alaska and on his way home after an action-packed two-year tour of duty with the Army.
 Pfc. Jackson was drafted in April, 1851, while student at the Alaska Native Service school at White Mountain. After receiving basic training and serving with the Fourth Regimental Combat Team for almost year, he volun- teered for infantry combat duty in Korea.
 He left Alaska in March, 1852, and arrived in Korea May IF.

 He was awarded the Purple Heart for shell fragment wounds which hospitalized him for 10 days. He also wears the Combat Infantry Badge and the United States and United Nations Korean Service Medals.
 Pfc. Jackson arrived at Ft. Rich ardson Monday to be processed for dischc rge from active service The next day he was personally commended by Maj. Gen. William M. Miley, commanding general, US. Army, Alaska, for his patri- otism in volunteering for combat duty.

Alaska Attorneys Opinion On Transfer of Property
 Expected To Be Contested

JUNEAU, R-Real property in Alaska, under contract of sale, does not change title until the ac- tual transfer of deed, Territorial Atty. Gen. Gerald Williams said Monday.
 The opinion concerned property owned by the late O. l.. Grimes, Seattle,. who sold an interest in cannery property at Ousinkie to another non-Alaskan. Only a con- tract of sale was issued, however, without any transfer of deed be- fore Grimes died.
 Williams said location of the real property is the determining factor. He said reciprocity is not involved because Grimes still owned legal title to the Alaska property when he died, and, con- sequently, his interest is subject to Alaska inheritance.
 The Seattle attorneys for the Grimes estate are expected to contest the case with the argu- ment that transfer of ownership occurs on execution of contract of sale and is not contingent on later passing of the deed.

But now when I come back
to Washington and pass the

for now a friend Of mine lives
there, and I remember the
words, Lord, Thou hast made me

When Miss Hayes was a school
girl at the Sacred Heart Acad-

mecca for school holiday wan

paper weights and souvenirs.

and without personal ambition"

said she is aware of pending bills
to make possible erection of a
structure for a national theater,
