DEAR ABBY: My husband
works all day in an air-con-
ditioned office. When he
comes home he gripes his
head Of about what q tough
day he's had. He should
stay home and take care of
an eight-room house with
four kids under his feet and
see how he likes it.
I wish you'd say something

bands who keep telling their
wives what a cinch house.

husbands anyway?
NOT APPRECIATED.
All men love to grippe. Let
him get 1t out Of his system.
It's good for him. He Just
wants you to put your arms
around him and tell him how
wonderful he Is. Try 1t. He'll
wind up telling you what a

One-Avenue Town Is Home

What kind of a town do
you live in?" Mine is a small
place called Sea Bright, N. j.
Population: 1923.
There is a finger of land
running north and south on
the edge of the Atlantic
Ocean. 1t is called Sandy
Hook. 1t guards the south
ern approach to New York
harbor. Twenty-Five miles
north by water (48 by land)
is Manhattan. On the second
knuckle Of this finger is Sea
Bright. On the first knuckle
is Fort Hancock.
ON ONE SIDE Of it is the
sea. Behind it is the swift
running Shrewsbury River.
Sea Bright is so narrow that,
for most of its four-mile
length, it has but one street.
Ocean avenue. what else?
There is an 11-foot stone
wall along the sand dunes.
This keeps the sea out when
the tides are high and the
wind and the moon are in
phase.
The other side Of the road
Is dotted with homes. Most
of them are big and were
built by the rich in the early
part of the century. They
have sweeping porches and
they sit fat and old, facing
whatever the sea has to offer.
The village is about four
feet above sea level. Long
ago, the Indial.s called it
Nauvoo, which means bright
sea. After the Battle of
Monmouth. the British re-
treated this way and fed on
ships anchored in Sandy Hook
Bay. One of their sloops
foundered in a storm. 1t had
100000 pounds sterlin g
aboard and, in the 1930S, a
little girl digging in the sand
came up with six gold coins
in the image Of George III.
Swedish fishermen began
to use Sea Bright in 1870.
To get out to sea, they put
their boats on rollers and
pulled them up out of the
Shrewsbury and across the
dunes to the big green break
ers. This saved eight miles
of down-river travel.
In the same year, a man
built a house in Sea Bright.
However, the big northeast
ers in winter made him quit
after a while, and he put his
house on barges and floated
it across to the other side of
the river. That town is called
Rumson and, before the ranch
houses came into vogue, it was
a place of beautiful estates,
matched carriage horses, and
Irish maids in white uniforms
and puffy caps.
Still others came to Sea
Bright. The Swedes made
the village and they rolled
their two-man dories through
the surf at dawn and, if the
blues were running good, the
SwedeS lived good.
The village had a sand

Caribou Herd Holds Its Own at Adak

Adak's experiment in caribou transplanting seems to be sue cess. At least this is the word re- ceived at Navy headquarters here from a group of American military men and two Canadian biology students who spent four days with the frolicking, almost tame beasts.
 The animals are the survivors of 70 barren ground caribou calves rounded up on the Alaskan main land in a joint Army-Navy-Air Force-Marine Corps and Fish & Wildlife Service effort in 1858 and 1859 to stock the barren Aleutian island with big game for recrea- tional hunting by military person nel stationed there and as a food source in the event of an emer- gency.
 Many of the shaggy animals were

 The biggest herd observed by the team consisted of 13 animals all of them obviously yearlings" from the 1859 transplant. For some reason they have not joined up with the herd of 10 caribou which was transplanted the year before.
 Only three of the 1858 herd were observed at close range. They were two bulls, a COW with a calf esti- mated to be about two months old.
 Two other large bulls were seen on the hills overlooking the ocean by part of the group shortly after they had begun their boat trip back to the Adak naval station.
 AS there are no roads to the west end of Adak, the military civilian group travelled by Navy tug boat from the naval station to an anchorage in the Argonne chan nel, Bay of Islands, and used small boats to land on. Unalga Eight.
 It was in this isolated vicinity the young caribou had been releas- ed in 1858 and 1859 after several weeks of barnyard care by volun- teers in the Adak Marine Barracks following shipment from the main land in a Navy aircraft.
 After camp and radio communi- cations were established with the main base, the men famed out in search of the animals. Much evi- dence of their being in the area was found-but no caribou.
 An aircraft from the Naval Sta tion took up the search, but even with this airborne aide a herd was not located until the afternoon of the following day. They were the 13 yearlings.

 Earns Scholarship

Wakefield Fisheries Scholarships have been awarded this year by Sheldon Jackson to Frank Peterson of Kodiak, Diane Gunderson of Sand Point, Judge Holmberg of Pauloff Harbor and Norma Gron- holdt of Sand Point. The Wakefield Fisheries Scholarship of $1,200 was awarded to Sheldon Jackson High School and Sheldon Jackson Junior College in the Spring of 1860.
 By special permission of Howard Wakefield the scholarship for Frank Peterson has been applied on his tuition at Sheldon Jackson to make it possible for him to enter the University of New Mex leo this fall.

DR.. Reichelderfer. He said the
problem has become more acute
in recent years with the in
creased speed and height of
jet aircraft.
The plane disaster near Tell
City, Ind, on March II may
have been caused by air turbu-
lence or by an explosion, inyes-
tigators have indicated. Speed
limits have been imposed on
prophet Electras like the one
that figured in the crash.
The Weather Bureau chief
said the general conditions un-
der which clear-air turbulence
occurs are known. Recent
studies have shown a correla-
ton with the position of the
let stream - a high-altitude,
fast-flowing river of air - but
we do not have enough data
to pinpoint the specific loca-
ton of clear-air turbulence"
Under certain conditions the
Jet stream sets up wind

greatly different at different
attitudes. When an aircraft
flies in the boundary between
these winds of different speeds
it takes a terrific buffeting.

The London symphony in B
fat that opened the concert of
Sir Thomas Beechan and
the National Symphony last
night is one that the great old
English conductor has played
hundreds Of times during a
long career in which Haydn
has been one of the major
figures. Sir Thomas is perhaps
the only conductor of whom it
can be said that the polish Of
his performances doesn't mat
ter. What If the balance of the
orchestra is curious, the tempt
erratic and the string ensemble
a bit ragged? Sir Thomas is
a pre-posthumous legend of

the major bold outlines. and
which enthralls people as uni

stalk does.
Nobody has ever before heard
a Mozart symphony follow one
by Hadyn on a contemporary
orchestral concert, but the
pairing is fitting. Mozart fol-
lowed Haydn not only chronol-
ogically but also in the develop
ment of his art, engaging in a
lifelong contest with the older
man that can be followed

quartets.
