Mrs. S. P. asks:
1--WE live in a lovely, large
basement apartment. All is
fine with the exception Of
the stairway leading down to
the apartment. 1t is in bad

to doing anything with it yet.
"She eventually plans to
cover the stairs. I volunteered
to do the painting job, this
way I would be sure to select
colors I thought would be
best. The major problem with
our stairway is its terrible
gloominess.

If you want something diff

furniture, why not buy un-

them white and trim them
with turquoise blue or peony

Colored mats can do won

Begin Slowly
Many women have led
very sedentary lives and have
passed exercise by for years.
These women should begin
slowly with easy exercises.
Also readers often write to
me about exercises following
abdominal surgery. These re-
quire easy motions at first.
Whether you should take
exercise and what kind and
how much and when to
start are decisions for your
doctor.
Usually practically any ex-
ercise can be INDUCED in six
months after surgery and
most physicians are eager
for their patients to take
some exercise just as soon
as possible. However, every

Chief McDuffie continued, "LCDR August was Exchange Officer there and what ever I know about retail merchan- diSing, I learned from him. The store was undergoing an improve ment program at the time and l spent more Navy money than l ever have or ever will in my life.
 A good deal of this went toward building two snack bars, one on the dock for the men of the fleet. After the modernization program I requested transfer to take over the accounting department of the commissary to round out my full experience in my rate. I had a year there and then we came to Kodiak.
 We like it here very, very much. I can get a growl out of the family when I mention leaving Kodiak, or getting out of the Navy. I never think or talk about my retirement date and don't look forward to it either.
 This is an interesting expert ence for me; it's the first so-called overseas exchange I have ever been involved ip. The problems are very different in that we have to plan everything three to six months in advance. Of course this is due to the long supply line; it makes things difficult.

 One of the most respected and well liked families in the Naval Station community is that of Ships Serviceman Chief Charles and Jeanette McDuffie. He iS leading chief, or manager. of the base Ex- change; sine IS tae mother of six attractive children ranging in age from six to fourteen.
 The Chiefs job is a demanding one which he handles with great competence Che was November'S Sailor of the Month in recognition of his ability and hard work); Mrs. McDuffie's own role is perhaps equally demanding but she plays it quietly i'll the background graciously and well. Chief McDuf- fife said, "Jean is the backbone of our family and what keeps me going" His wife smiled and de- murred, saying she just tries ito give him q push and keep the worries of the children and house away from him.
 The children are Denise, 6; An ita, &; Timothy, 10; Phillip, II; Ronnie, 13; and Jacqueline, IA. All except Jackie attend base schools, she is freshman in Kodiak high school and remembered at the base Junior high school for her excep- tional record. IL earned her the PTA award as one of the two out standing students of the year 1859. She is also one of Father Sturm- CTS star students in Russian for the second year, and 'one reason we wish we could stay here for three years" Chief McDuffie told us.
 This will depend upon career considerations and not little on the US. Navy. The Chief, origin ally from Fl Dorado, Arkansas, joined the Navy in 1943, after one of the briefest Army careers on record; he had been selected for the Army but when authorities dis covered they had inducted six teen year old he was released within three weeks, and returned to school for another year.
 q stayed in the Navy until 1945, got out, married and re- considered. I reenlisted in 1947 and since then have been practically everywhere.
 One of the most interesting tours of all was my first duty station after reenlistment. I went with the Atomic Resurvey Group sent to Bikini for four months in 1947 to evaluate what the hydrogen bomb had done to the island the year be fore. We bored, took samples, and

organized fishing parties so the scientists could study the condi- ton of the fish in those waters.
 After the hard work of putt ing the heavy gear ashore it was pure pleasure. was certainly inn pressed with the whole operation; there were so many brains in one spot-professors from all the major universities and Navy sci entists as we'll, to study the radia- tion effects on soil, water, and sea life. They got one unexpected study too. We found two chickens and dog on the island and no one ever knew how they got there unless they were left behind by the people who were evacuated before the tests in 1946. We never could catch those chickens, but we did trap the dog. He got the most through physical examination the doctors and scientists could pos sibly have given; they found him very healthy.
 In a way it was like vacation; the Navy gave prizes for the largest fish, the largest shark, and so on. No, I surely didn't get any prizes. Pm not much of a fisher man and at the time I was keep ing very busy. It was wonderful and fascinating tour for the seven or eight hundred men on it." For For several years after the Bikini tour Chief McDuffie was in and out of hospitals (though not con- nected with Bikini). He went to the 18th fleet and spent the better part of 165 days in hospitals, and all of eight months fighting a medical discharge. He was then assigned to the MSTS ship, the USS General Buckner, but in month was ill again.
 Finally the Navy sent me to Alameda so I could be near a hos pital. Thanks to CAPT Curtis of the Navy Medical Corps there, all the trouble is behind me now. When I was we'll I went to the Brioka and from there to San Francisco. During part of the Korean War I was aboard a troop carrier, the USS Macarthur.

Joe Needs to Learn
Of Healthy Outdoors

Joe is an out-of-doors boy
by necessity,
He spends much of his time
in the streets and alleys of his
Shoddy neighborhood because
there just isn't enough room in
the family'S cramped apart
ment.
With seven younger brothers
and sisters and a mother and
father who fight all the time"
crowded into the place, Joe
prefers to go there only to sleep.
And many times he's not even
certain he'll have a place to
sleep because his father reg
ularly spends the rent money
on liquor and the family con-
stantly faces eviction.
Yet, at 13, Joe frequently
shoulders some man-sized re-
Sponsibilities.
This generally happens when
his father gets drunk and
doesn't come home for days at
a time. Then Joe takes over the
responsibility of supervising the
younger children. He sees that
they are cared for and fed and
makes certain they all get baths
and are put to bed on time.
He has to, social workers
explain, because his mother has
long since given up all attempts
to supervise the children. She
seems oblivious to them, even
the one who is barely out of
the toddler stage.
Joe knows the harsh brutality
of the streets and alleys of a
tough neighborhood, but. he
knows nothing of the JOY of
