Survival Kit
Described

Details of the Survival
Food Kit" developed at the
Washington Missionary College
by the advanced nutrition
class were described last night
before the National Security
Committee of the District
Business and Professional
Women's Club at the club
house, 2305 Calvert street
NV.
The guest speaker was Miss
Henriette B. Hanson, home
economics professor, who con-
Quoted Operation Survival"
a field test sponsored by the
college last November ST in
the woods near Spencerville,
Md. Thirty-five others partic-
ipated.
The experiment showed that
1t is possible for an individual
to care for himself for several
days before having to rely on
outside help, Prof. Hanson re-
ported.
The survival kit is designed
for individuals, rather than
families, because no family
can be assured it could be to-
gether in case of disaster, the
speaker pointed out.
I'VE are continuing work on
improving the kit as to rec
ipes, packaging and keeping
quality of foods" she de-
clared. I'VE are trying to limit
variety and put in foods which
are most popular"
Miss Hanson recalled that a
6-week-old baby, which was
included in the Operation
Survival party, had to be
taken home because it was
not able to take the cold
under existing conditions. 1--WE
learned from this experience
that babies need especially
constructed sleeping bags with
upper opening for changing
diapers" she declared.
She also concluded that two
chemical heating pads should
be provided for artificial heat
for babies and small children.
Many of our group heated
field stones in a campfire and
put them in brown paper
sacks to help keep warm but
this is not satisfactory for
babies" she said.

In q lifetime of discussion
with parents. I don't remem-
Der any of them who were COM
pletely satisfied with the way
they had handled the sex
education of their children.
Nearly every one admits I'M
certainty, delay. evasion, or
lack Of a confidential relation
ship. Mrs. Y. is no exception,
then when she writes, I'VE
have three small children and
want them to have a better
sex education than we our
selves had. My husband and
I had to learn so many things
the wrong way! What Is the
opinion of the experts at the
present time?"
The opinion Of the experts
is that you are already late,
Mrs. Y! At least, I judge that
the oldest of three children
is certainly at an age to ask
questions unless they are
triplets. The first questions
usually arise anywhere be-
tween the ages of three and
five. If they don't. it may be
that the parents attitude has
scared the youngsters from
bringing up the subject-they
have already sensed that 1t
can't be mentioned.
One of the outstanding au-
thorities is Mrs. Frances
Bruce Strain whose book,
New Patterns in Sex Teach
ings." has long been a stand
by. I'll condense some simple
and sensible "Don'ts" from It'll"

Don't answer vaguely or in

This being 50, then Archie Alfonso AlexandePs appointment
as Governor Of the Virgin Islands may be viewed as a ma
tional disgrace.
Ofteourse, it is impossible to read the text of the hear
ing on Governor AIexander's nomination" for the governor
ship without recalling Senator Wayne Morses prophetic cri-
ticism when the recently resigned secretary Talbotts nomi-
nation came before the Senate, to wit: "The Talbot nominal
ton stinks. The terrific oders ernanating from it are sufficient
to give warning of the great danger Of the decay of the whole
pattern of ethical standards of government It is not un-
likely that Senator Morse would take a similar view of Gov
ernor Alexander's nomination" if he were required to read
about it..
For the benefit of the editor of TIME, however, / quote
flom "The Crimes of Politics by David Lawrence ~. S
News and World, Dec. Fl, 1851 a noted writer who cannot
by any twist of the imagination be accused Of unfaithfulness
to the Republican Party:
America is awakening TO the biggest crime wave of all lines

The Magazine, TIME and "The Backward Virgins
By Charles {. Reubel

After reading "Awaking the Virgins in TIME of last
July Is, / recalled a line by Murray Kempton that caused
me to wonder whether the editor of the distinguished pub
LEGATION is "amored against the consciousness of sin" sin
committed by privileged moguls Of the nations swank Re
publican salons.
Certainly, one finds it difficult to understand why such
an outstanding magazine would devote time and space to
gloat over an exchange of malicious accusations between a
few corrupt Virgin Island politicians and a governor who is
manifestly stepped in vulgarity at a moment when the en-
tire world is turned in on the "Dixon-Yates Deal" the IF.
H. A. and Talbot Windfalls,' and the embarrassment they
cause an administration which is pledged to prove to the
American voter the virtues Of General Motors and the Ameri-
can Manufacturers Association.
Unlike the editor Of M it is to be hoped that most
Americans regret that, because Of a vicious patronage system
sponsored by major political parties, the GOVERNMENT
OF THE UNITED STATES is represented in the Virgin Is
lands, and the entire Caribbean area for that matter by a
political appointee who suffers no scruples when publicly
branding a bystander who offers him lip service "a son OF a
bitch" and is credited with unbridled use Of terms that could
well have been scooped from the sewer. Yes, one may utter
thanks that there are Americans who do not lind delight
in the "straW-boss mannerisms" OF moral dullards who can
secure appointments to positions requiring conduct that IS
in keeping with established standards Of ~propriety and
worthy Of the worlds leading government.
views between the President and his Secretary Of Interior
regarding the quality Of persons who should hold positions
of public trust in his administration. The President recently
expressed it as his belief, and rightly so, that "a man should
not hold office simply because he is guilty of no legal offense,"
but that his conduct must be im~peccable. from the stand
point of both law and ethics and should avoid giving any
impression of wrongdoing"
Although he did not say so, yet it is reasonable to sup
pose that the President meant, also, that a man should not
hold office simply because he pours large contributions into
the Golfers of a favorite political party if his conduct is
not impeccable from a standpoint of both law and ethics.

should never be dimmed out,
that it should be played through
and at more and more places.
