Capt. John and the Playful One

One Of the sweet and
graceful liars of history was
Capt. John Smith of the
Virginia Company. He told
stories so well that, If they
were not true, they should
have been. He is the man
whose life was saved by the
Indian princess Pocahontas.
VERIFIABLE TRUTH and
the unyerifiable are so braid
ed in John Smiths life that
historians have despaired Of
him. He was born in 1879 In
Willoug by, Lincolnshire,
England. His father died
when John was II.
Young John went off to
the wars and claims to have
fought against the Turks. He
fought so calamity that
Prince Sigismund Bathori
(who has never been located
gave John a coat of arms
and a pension of 5000 due
ats. In q battle across Tran
sylvania, he was captured
and sent to Turkey as a pres
ent for the PaSha's wife.
At this point Capt. John
begins to bend the truth
like a tired bobby pin.
He never tells us who sent
him as a present. If it was
the Pasha, the Turk must
have been battle-happy. The
lady fell in love with Smith
and. to save his life, sent
John to her brothers place
near the Caspian Sea.
Someone made a slave of
John but he killed his owner
and made it back to England
in 1905. Two years later he
was off to the American
Colonies with the Virginia
Company. On May %, 1907,
he got off the boat at James,
town.
Smith was a member Of
the Council in Virginia, but

he was back in England
writing his memoirs.
THE BRITISH converted
the princess to Christianity,
baptized her, and gave her
the name of Rebecca. She
was introduced to an Eng
lishman named John Rolfe,
who fell in love with Poca-
hontas and asked Gov. Dale's
permission to marry her.
Dale, no fool. figured that
a union between the whites
and Indians would slow Pow
hatan's ambusheS, so he gave
gracious permission. Later,
as Mrs. Rolfe, she visited
England and died unex-
pectedly at Gravesend.

DEAR ABBY: I have a
husband who always manages
to get US lost whenever we
take a motor. trip. He is very
stubborn and would rather
80 miles out of his way than
to stop and ask for direc-
tons. Why are some men like
this, Abbyp And what can
! do about It?
ExASPERATED.
Some men feel that II they
don't know everything there
IS to know, It Is q reflection
on their intelligence. Let him
drain his gasoline tank and
wear out his tires. It's cheaper
than draining your energy
and wearing out your patti
ence.
DEAR ABBY: I married
into a family that's one for
the books. My husband, for
tunately, is nothing like the
rest of the clan. But we live
IN the same city and are
constantly being thrown
together at family gather
ings.
Abby, I have never heard
people rip others apart the
way his mother and sisters
do. One afternoon I sat there
and counted. They talked
about AZ people and didn't
have a good word to say
about any Of them. All of it
was hearsay and gossip of
the naStiest kind.
I am new in this family
and want them to like me
but I just can't take it.
Should I tell them what /
think of them and suffer the
consequences? Or should I

Do you recall q column in
which I published q letter
from a disgruntled wearer Of
q hearing aid? Instead Of be-
ing thankful for this wonder
full continuance, he ranted
about its shortcomings.
HERE, THEN, is q letter
from a reader in Virginia
who says: Having worn a
hearing aid for the past six
years, I feel qualified to tell
your bitter reader q few
things:
/. 1t is possible to get the
equivalent of normal hearing
with a hearing aid. Some
times when I'm driving alone,
I will turn the car radios
volume up and my hearing
aid down-and I find it diff
cult to tell when the hearing
aid leaves off and my dimin-
ished natural hearing takes
over.
2. My period Of adjustment
came to a happy climax with
in a few hours after I got my
aid-when I went to my first
movie in several years. and
friends sitting on either side
of me (both with normal
hearing) kept asking me
what the performers were
saying in the low-voiced love
scenes. And I could tell them.
A hearing aids volume is
similar to that Of a radio in
that you can turn it much
higher than normal. I was
covering courts for this
newspaper at the time and
had been going home every
night with my neck muscles
tied in knots from straining
to hear. Sitting in the rear
of the court room and hear
ing words was something new
and wonderful for me.
%. Friends and relatives who
are selfish" about someone's
deafness, or who give the
impression of disgust or ir-
rttation, are dealing with a
bitter, selfish person or they
would not react in this man
ner. Anyone's personality
deaf or normal-reaps what
it sows. I never had anyone
make me feel inferior be-
cause of my deafness.
4. I do not have a vacant
stare, a nodding head, a
polite smile. I am active in
a frantic business in which
conversation and participa-
ton are imperative. And I
can out-hear them all.
%. I have the type of deaf
ness which responds to the
new operation. 1t takes only
two days away from the of
fee, my insurance would
take care Of the costs, and
I'm told it is literally pain
less.
Yet I shall not have the
operation unless my hearing
deficiency goes beyond the
reaches Of my hearing aid.
I enjoy turning it off when
I want an afternoon nap and
the neighborhood children
are noisy, when the cupboard
boats are noisy, or when one
Of my neighbors is moving
the grass.
In other words, I am
thoroughly enjoying my
hearing aid. I'm sure my
disposition is better, my
nerves are better and hence
my health is better.
Forgive me for "spouting
or" but it irritates me to
have someone knock such a
wonderful invention - and
one which he could use to
make and keep friends II
he weren't so generally dis
gruntled.
THERE YOU HAVE the
other side Of the controversy.
AS for me, I go along with
today's letter writer. Like

their poStmasterS.
 Another allegation made, was that some precincts had not been issued enough official ballots and voters were turned away. No voter is turned away when sample ballots and hand written ballots are certified to by the election board A certificate is part of the election material sent each cleo tion board for this purpose.
 The Election Director explained that the customary procedure is to issue 40 per cent more ballots to each election precinct than votes cast at the preceding cleo tiOn, and that of 300 precincts, 296 were found to have had en- ough ballots by this method.
 MT. Smith has been informed that Kwiguk's postmaster had been advised to have the resi- dents apply for their absentee ballots to the deputy magistrate at Fortuna Ledge, where a double supply had been sent. Also Xvi guk had been asked to inform us of their year-around voting pop ulation so a precinct could be es- tablished before another Primary Election took place, and my letter never was answered. I have come to realize that this area on the lower Yukon and Hooper Bay is somewhat inaccessible in spite of air-borne mail. The postmaster at Hooper Bay informed the Juneau office that their letter was over a month reaching him. This is a regrettable situation when cleo ton material and information must be stepped along with some rapidity.
 No qualified voter should be denied the right to vote in any part of Alaska. I am sure when the Election Director had absen- tee balloting explained lover the air" he felt this was the best contact that could be made to AL askan voters in the remote areas.

Alaska Backs PAA Bid For N. Pacific Route 10 Orient

WASHINGTON, R-The State of Alaska stands solidly behind Pan American World Airways in it's bid for a New York Tokyo route via Fairbanks, Gov. William A. Egan told the Civil Aeronautics Board yesterday,
 A recommendation by CAB EX- aminer William J. Madden that Pan Am be permitted to fly the route will give Alaska "closer ties with both the eastern United States and the Far East" Egan said.
 Egan said no area in the Vest ern Hemisphere is more depend- ent on aviation than is Alaska.
 Our vast land mass and great distances sharply limited rail and highway mileage all un- derscore aviation's importance to Alaska" Egan said.
 Our glObally strategic location lends greater weight to our position on all matters con- corning aviation, for that loca- ton destines us to serve as the airport for the world for trans polar and north trans-Pacific traf- fife"
 Egan said the Anchorage and Fairbanks International airports are now undergoing runway ex- tension and other improvements. He said he will recommend to the next state legislature that facil- ities at both airports be expanded to keep pace with increased traf- fife

Letter To The Editor

It seems an explanation, clar- flying election matters, is due the public after several allega- tions made by Stanley Smith, re- cent candidate on the Democratic ticket for State Senator, District N, in the Primary Election on Aug. g.
 The change-over of Alaska from territory to state had created some confusion in the recent pri- mary election, mainly in the man. ner of absentee voting, Under ter ritorial status, postmasters were assigned the ballots which were called for by individuals of their localities. Under the state, the Chief Magistrate in Nome and five Deputy Magistrates in this Northwestern District were given this assignment and the Office of the Director of Election used the media of announcing lover the air" as direct contact to every Alaskan desiring to vote absentee. How, when and where to vote ab- sentee was explained over every radio network in Alaska, starting June 1st, stating absentee ballots were obtainable from June 30 to Aug. '. Radio Station KICY that reaches these villages, made this broadcast and gave additional in- formation over "The Musical Mailbag" from time to time.
 The Director of Elections has explained the largest absentee vote ever made in Alaska, occur red in this recent primary, so Alaskans somewhere were 'listen- ing in" In checking over the ab- sentee voters of the Voters List for the Primary Election 1858, four of the towns enumerated by MT. Smith, recently - Scammon Bay, Hamilton, KWiguk and Pilot Station, cast a combined vote of 53. This is not a very good show ing, considering that the people in those villages still had access to the absentee ballots through

Truman Predicts The
 Presidential Campaign Will Be A Rough One

CHICAGO, R-Harry s. Tru- man believes the rival presiden- tial candidates this fall twill be throwing everything but the kit chen stove at each other-and in my opinion that's good idea"
 The former President made a stopoVer in Chicago on train trip with Mrs. Truman enroute from Independence, Mo-, to New York to visit their daughter and son-in-laW, MT. and Mrs. Clifton Daniels, and their two children.
 Truman told a news conference his present plans call for a speech each week in behalf of the Demo- cratic ticket.
 Asked whom he considered the best campaigner-Vice President Richard M. Nixon or Thomas E. Dewey, the former COP presi- dential nominee Truman defeated, Truman said:
 T only saw one of them in ac- ton and I was very well satisfied with MT. DeWey.'
 Truman said it is too early to assess the present status of the campaigns by Nixon and Sen. John Kennedy, the Democratic nominee, but added he feels Ken nedy will make the best impress sion on the voters.
 He predicted it will be a ''real campaign and probably a rough one"
 Asked what he regarded as rough, he made the comment about the kitchen stove.
