happened. Twice I was called on to take badly injured people to the hospital, but if anything happened to the bus there were always enough men or big boys to help me.
 Actually, there were very few unpleasant experiences; people were friendly and I enjoyed driv- ing them. Color photography be- came my hobby and if I saw a particularly beautiful sunset, or cloud formation, or some interest ing scene 1 wanted to take, 1 stop ped the bus and the passengers waited until I got the picture. They gave me lots of news and I wrote a weekly column for the paper about people and local happenings. Everyone seemed to enjoy my Chit Chat.
 "The people of Kodiak voted me a 20-year franchise for bus service in town but when my son left to go into business with his brother in Portland, I found driving night and day was more responsibility and work than I wanted, and I sold the line in 1853"

Numbers of people have come to Kodiak to work in Civil Service on the Naval Station, have loved the island and stayed on after re- tirement to settle in town with other jobs and contribute substan- tially to the life of the community. No one has been happier here, or added more life to the community, than Mrs Ed Rockney with whom we talked this week at the Frontier Gift and Flower Shop.
 Mrs. Rockney took us into the comfortable sitting room in the back of her store, plugged in a pct of coffee and told us that her

1855, bought this shop which was then only one room. Two years later I purchased the Shoe Box and combined the two businesses. My husband retired the same year and came in with me"
 Nora Rockney left us momentar- fly to wait on customers, and two friends from Woody Island, on an infrequent trip to town, stopped in for chat and a cup of coffee. Jessie Smith, who had been Morals neighbor few years ago, remind ed her of some of the differences of town living at the time.
 Mrs. Rockney continued, ''Oh yes, it was different. Even in the late forties cows still went loose in the streets. The herd from the Mission sometimes wandered in and stood in our yard. A lot of things were pretty primitive but we had lot of fun.
 We still live in the same place. We call it Cliff House. It's small home with a view of the channel and Woody Island from one win dow; from another window we overlook Potato Patch Lake. Sev- eral years ago I was looking out one window on crowds of people in bright winter clothing, skating on the lake; I turned and looked out the other side and saw blue water, a plane landing and fishing boats going through the channel. It was the most impressive view I've seen here, like Hawaii on the one hand, the far north on the other, and I thought, how wonder ful; where else in the world could you find such scene?"
 Nora Rockney is a sportswoman of renown on Kodiak and we sug- gested that she probably knows more choice fishing spots than most people in the area. "Yes, I know all the holes, but when I fish I prefer to be just about alone. Usually my husband and I go out together. I love to fish; I don't think there is any sport you can get a bigger thrill out of than hooking into an eight of ten pound silver on an eight pound test line. I've played silvers for as long as 35 minutes to bring them to shore. It's one thing women can get as excited about as men. The other outdoor things I like are boating, horseback riding and hunting, though l don't care to hunt bear, just rabbits and small game.
 When we retire we're going to find a place way out in the country on the West Coast where we can enjoy our four children, 16 grand children and fishing, swimming, boating and horseback riding. I love Kodiak but we are so far from our family; they want us close to them."
 Mrs. Rockney is also an enthusi- astic bowler, a member of the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce, and is active in the Business and Professional Women's Club.
 Ed and I like to hike and beach comb too and I'll tell you the story you asked about in connection with that, although I'm not too proud of it. I should have known better.
 My husband and I went ptarmi- gan hunting out at Narrow Cape last February. After we'd hunted for while suggested we go down to the beach and hunt for glass balls. It was steep there but we found a place to slide down, and two small glass balls on the beach. I got excited and wanted to walk

January, 1948. Featuring a
heavy accent on business and
Government news, the maga-
zine is renowned for depart
ments forecasting future trends,
question and answer interviews
with world leaders and Mr..
Lawrence's editorials.
The magazine also is dis
tinguished by it's accent on
illustrations, including charts
and photographs-a reflection,
perhaps, of Mr.. Lawrence's in

The formula evidently has
been successful. U. S. News g.

was appointed circulation di-
rector of the combined maga-

At a time when many major
magazines have suffered re-
verses, it continues to capture

Both Mr.. Lawrence and Mr..
Sweet are unawed by their
magazines success. They feel
it is the logical result of "a

TALKING OF BUSINESS
Dovid Lowrence's Early Formula
Recognized in Magazines Success

Youthful David Lawrence, an
amateur photographer, hope
fully submitted some pictures
to the old Buffalo Express.
He was evidently a good
| photographer, because an edi-
tor bought the pictures and as
signed them space on a page
of the rotogravure section
provided Mr.. Lawrence would
write a text to accompany
them
He became so absorbed in
the task, he recalls, that he
gave up photography Except
as a hobby at the age of IA
and eagerly accepted assign
ments as a reporter of high
school sports for the news
paper.
1t was the beginning of a
career in journalism that has
spanned a half century. Mr..
Lawrence'S daily column, which
has appeared in The Star since
1918, was one result.
Another has evolved into one
of the Nations leading news
magazines, US. News & World
Report. One of Washington's
major private employers, the
magazine has 800 men in the
city, $50 elsewhere.
Friend of Wilson
Mr.. Lawrence, II, editor of
the magazine. came to Wash

from Princeton to work for the

represented in college. A friend
of Woodrow Wilson at the

headquarters, Walt Whitman
RoStow is just another name in
the Democratic nominees un-
precedentedly big and varied
brain trust Of economic liber-
als-and minor name at that.
But in intellectual circles, Mr..
Rostow's name has been con-
troversial since a series of lee
lures he delivered at Cambridge
University two years ago on the
stages of economic growth. ST.
multaneouSly denounced as d
charlatan and praised as con :
tributing more to sound think
ing on world affairs than any
other intellectual in 20 years,
Mr.. Rostow has formulated
theories that would warrant a
serious report even if he weren't
a leading member of Senator
Kennedy's braintrust. For if
Mr.. Rostow could help mold
United States policy in coming
years, this is what would hap
pen:
The United States would ag-
gressively lead the free world in
creating partnerships with the
new countries in Asia and Afri-
ca. We would strengthen our
economic ties with Britain and
West Europe, expand our aid to
the underdeveloped lands with
the plain aim of helping them
to develop along democratic"
lines.
Leadership Needed
We would recognize that one
Of the greatest threats from
Russia is that the Soviet will
seize the initiative in this area,
supply the leadership and Or
ganization which these under
developed nations SO desperate
ly need, and thereby gain pow
er we couldn't beat.
We would acknowledge that
all nations go through various
stages of economic growth, and,
as they do, the power balance
in the world shifts. Instead of
wasting the time we have in
destructive cold or hot war with
Russia, we'd use the time with
Russia to create a solid, secure
political and military system
into which the new nations
could move in orderly fashion.
Mr.. Rostow - Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology profess
sor of economic history, Rhodes
scholar and Yale graduate -
may vince at the simplicity of
this summary, but I've here
translated into simple language
the basic points he has made
in his lectures and books.
Specifically:
All nations of the world go
through stages of economic
growth. of which five are clear
ly discernible. They are: %
Poverty and ignorace; %
transition in which the ground
work is laid for the "take-off";;
90 the "take-off" into surging
growth, climbing efficiency; a.
maturity" in which the nation
learns how to apply modern
techniques to all activities and
to produce what it chooses;
80 the age of high mass
consumption" in which the ma
tion's masses can buy all sorts
of goods and services in addi-
ton to the basic essentials of
life.
Five Stages
Great Britain, Mr.. Rostow
figures, reached the start of
stage five as far back as 1850,
we reached it in 1900, Russia
reached it in 1850 - China is
still to achieve it. We, in fact,
have begun to experience 1.-The
problems of affiuence" and Rus
sia certainly is on the road to

stage.
Now what happens to each
nation will depend on the
