graphs of a letter to Mrs. Sidney
Hauenstein, who with Mrs. Ray Hilty,
is co-chairman of the local Freedom
Village drive, something of conditions
in Korea as he saw them:
"The home of Korean living in
small village or rural area is con-
structed of wood and a mud plaster
with straw roof. The same fire may
be used for cooking, as we'll as for
heating the hut. The heat from the
fire passes underneath the hut
through a flu, and the smoke goes
up wooden chimney on the opposite
side. This type of construction and
the open fires, along with an made
quate water supply, creates constant
fire hazard.
"The Korean people are hardy
race, and the law of nature, that only
the fittest survive, is quite evident
for the sanitary conditions were def
initely lacking and diseases also were
prevalent.
"Many of the families were separ-
ated during the advance of the
Communists. With their former homes
oftentimes destroyed, refugees sought
shelter wherever their wanderings
carried them. Young children, who
were left alone without relatives to
care for them, were placed in orphan
ages, where their physical needs were
received from relief organizations
and personal receipts of clothing,
toys, ETC., from thousands of G PSI,
Groman wrote.
A recent project of relief organi-
cations has been to introduce dairy
ing and beef cattle raising to sup
plement the vegetarian diet of the
Koreans. Ernest Raber, former Bluff
ton college student, has been with
the Mennonite Central Committee in
that country for the past three years
doing this type of work. He is situat-
ed in the south-central area near
Taegu.
Among other Bluffton veterans who
know what the Freedom Village"
program will mean to the Koreans
are John Triplehorn, Harry Burk-
holder, Donald Burkholder, Homer
Henderson, Eugene Kohler, Richard
Fields, James Messenger, Wade Ober-
ly, James Howe, and William Boehr

NO PLACE FOR DISCIPLINE
FOLLOWING A MASS meeting in which

FOLLOWING "A MASS meeting in which the recall Of
the Governor was requested, the Governor was asked about
it and again used unfortunate words to describe his attitude
and position. According to the papers the Governor is report
ed to have said that there is group which needs to be "disci
pIined" and that he was setting out to do just that,
GOVERNOR ALEXANDER, We are afraid, has miscon-
ceived the role Of Governor Of the Virgin Islands. and as
such also that of representative of the President Of the United
States in these parts. It is not the duty Of any Governor to
discipline" anybody, or group. Nothing could be more I'M
fortunate than for a chief executive to even think in terms of
discipline, and if the Governor really means what he is re-
ported to have said then his entire program, regardless OF
how ambitious or fa1reaching, IS shackled with Illustration
by the very person whose duty It is to carry out that program
IT is TRUE that a particular party has been after the
Governor; that this group criticizes him r~elentessly and in
the strongest terms, and that through it all there are times
when this criticism goes to unwarranted extremes. But on
the other hand, this same party is quite true in much of what
it says, and in many instances voices the sentiments Of q great
number of people in these Islands. Yet, this is by no means
reason for setting out to discipline that or any other group
IN DEMOCRACY land the Islands have shown abii-
ty to carry on in a democratic mannerl the heads of govern
ment simply do not 60 around thinking Of discipline, at
least to the point where they allow themselves the indiscreet
luxury Of blrting it out in public. That is the difference
between a democracy and dictatorship.
BUT LOOKING AT the matter in the light most favor
able to the Governor, still we are at a loss as to why a man,
born and bred in the greatest democracy on earth, and
knowing how it functions, would want to think in terms OF
d~iseiplining any group or groups. Stretching it even further
in the Governors favor, he could possibly have meant the
exercise Of frugalty and such restraint as help make for good
government, yet this is an approach which is entirely within
the Governor power under the new Organic Act, and should

1855 should see this count up
close to IA million. or over 9
per cent Of the population.
In another decade it should be
up to II million. or better than
% per cent Of our people. While
lit is true that many persons are
well housed when they reach IS.
there is a significant group who
ARE not and who would be In
the market for sales or rental
units which they could afford.
Statutory limitations bar many
older people from low-rent pub

private industry is currently able
to supply but little sales or rental

older people to buy or rent. Find

challenge to both industry and

There are also unmet needs In
the field Of housing for nom
whites. Despite progress in this
segment Of the market. the Me-
groes as a group are still less well
housed than their white neigh

years only q small share Of our.
new housing has been built for
non-whites despite the fact that
population gains among the Ne
groes have been about as rapid as
they have been among whites.
In summary. a look at some Of
the most important factors in
