Pen Pals Solicited

It is heart-warming indeed to read
that the Central Committee of the
Communist Party in Moscow has opened
a campaign to eliminate a public be
damned" attitude on the part Of bureau
Gratis and party officials.
Apparently having checked over
the mail coming in to government de-
partmentS-no doubt an unquestioned
privilege of the party authorities-the
Central Committee found that a lot of
Soviet citizens are getting short shrift
on their written complaints. The Min
istry Of Interior, for example, has been
particularly guilty of delay and a
heartless attitude toward people" in the
way it just fails to explain how and why
everything is being done for the best
interests of ALL Even callers in person
are made to sit around for hours waiting
to see somebody, and then they end up
with a junior off1cial who can make no
decisions.
It is surprising, of course, to learn
that things are going so badly in the
peoples paradise. But, come to think
about it, it is even more surprising that
anybody has the courage to complain
either by letter or in person.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-09-15
Robert w. Service

Half century ago when other men
were wrestling short-lived riches away
from the rocky Yukon and Klondike,
Robert william Service was scratching
his way to enduring fame and fortune
with Stubby pencil An ordinary poet
might not have long survived in that
rigorous land of vigorous men, but Mr..
Service came through unscathed4 I'm
SCARED by the experience, he left his
mark there and throughout the world
before passing away, at "a, in what he
called the happy obscurity' of Lam
cieux, France.
Although poetry is supposed to re-
pose in the souls of all men, not many
of them will confess to having written
1t, read it, or even having had anything
to do with it. Mr.. Services poetry was
not that way. The hard crews of the
Klondike who inspired many of his
verses later found themselves reciting
them. Since they lived dangerously,
1.-THE Shooting of Dan McGrew," "The
Cremation of Sam MCGEE" and other
such lusty and mournful ballads caught
their fancy. Although Dan McGrew,"
contained in Mf. Services first collec-
ton of verses, sold million copies and
made him wealthy, the versifier took
dim view of this particular creation in
later years He said he felt about Dan
as Rudyard Kipling "felt about 'Gunga
Din when he said it was pity that the
man who had shot Gunga did not also
shoot its author"
Literary critics gave Mr.. Service the
cold shoulder but the public received
him warmly. And If the Malemute
Saloon we're still Standing, the boys
would not be exactly "whooping it up"
there today.
